Feast your eyes on the new Halo Legends anime. Microsoft is teaming with five production houses for a series of 7 separate short films called Halo Legends.

The creative director overseeing the production is Shinji Aramaki, director of Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina. The shorts will be available on DVD and via digital media next year, but will preview on Xbox LIVE this fall on the Halo Waypoint. Waypoint will also feature content including podcasts, trailers and screen shots, some of it exclusive to the “experience.” Microsoft will also offer fans a “career system” and player rankings tied to “in-game and out-of-game accomplishments.”

While its not quite the Halo Movie we’re all hoping and waiting for, this at least gets Halo onto the screen and gives those marketing gurus some data to mull over and decide if a Halo movie will be as profitable as we all expect.
