Excerpt:
Along with a number of sources that confirmed the information with SXAniMedia previously - today, Warner Home Video unveiled information that Seraphim Digital Studios (formerly known as ADV Studios and Amusement Park Media) has been tapped by Microsoft’s 343 Industries and Warner Brothers to handle English co-production…
Though I’m not much of a Halo fan (I’m so over FPS), the amount of respected titans of the Japanese anime industry and studios attached to this is very impressive.
Trailer looks interesting in that every studio involved seems like it’ll have its own unique approach and presentation to it.
This is gonna be a monster release and unlike people hating on anything popular, I think it’s a very good thing that something like this may make the mainstream more interested in Anime. New fans, expanding the fan-base? All great things in my view, we sure could use more, couldn’t we? At least gamers are supporting franchises they love. The more people that hopefully monetize the industry is always a good thing, and given how rabid and hardcore the Halo fanbase is, this should be pretty huge.
Final thoughts, for a franchise with amazing music, I thought the music in the trailer wasn’t as good as the videogame series’ music.
Can’t wait to see animation and art in the Production IG and BONES’ episodes.
Wow, that comes out of nowhere. Wonder if those guys are fans of Halo themselves. I can’t see that trailer on my phone though On a side note, whoever oversaw the creation of Halo’s online multiplayer? Love to crack that guy in the jaw.
If you have a disqus, facebook, twitter, openid, yahoo account please post in the news story post at my site since I’m sure a lot of your words as fans will be read by the powers that be.
It’s been well over a year since ADV dubbed something, so this is like a coming out party - and to land such a huge title is especially sweet. It feels like a coming out party in Houston.
That really is awesome news. Good for Seraphim(ADV). I will definitely spread the word.
As for your “Part 4”, I thought you said a glowing “clown” was seen. I didn’t know what to think.
Slick
So this is part of what was coming? LOL If so, I guess this on another site, but not here. DAMN IT! LOL
Anyway, great news! Definitely can’t wait to see who they will be using for the roles. Of course, I know no matter who they pick, there will be people that complain about a project like Halo, but you can’t please everybody. And Steven Foster is usually pretty good at directing these kinds of things, so I’m really looking forward to it. And to think, I was at most going to give this a rental.
I don’t think they want to repeat the same mistakes they did in the last 2-3 yrs - spending too much on production costs for titles with small market size and for titles where mostly sub-only people buy or fansubbers pretend to like but don’t actually buy.
But this thread is about Seraphim getting back to Dubbing and Halo and celebrating the monster news, not Clannad.
That’s just super. Seems Warners Bro. was pleased with the dub for Appleseed: Ex Machina. That means more money in their pockets for more yummie anime - like Toradora, K-On, Nyan Koi…etc, etc.
Ahh this is great news. ADV did say they were aiming to do dub work for other things with their studio, besides just their anime. It’s nice they finally got work on something, like they did with Appleseed a few years ago. I wasn’t even ganna bother with halo, but now that it has an ADV dub, it’s an insta buy! Steven Foster directing? That right there is full of win. He’s had a lot of good dubs over the years, despite his “controversy” (which personally nothing he’s done ever bothered me). 5 Centimeters Per Second , Orphen, Milk Chan, Pani Poni Dash, Red Garden, Le Chevalier D’Eon…the list goes on. The man is very talented. He has his own style, and you can really tell when it’s a Foster dub . And although I said I had a few slight problems with the “Le Chevalier D’Eon” dub, I was being very critical of it. It’s still an amazing dub, far better then most studios could pump out.
The more people that hopefully monetize the industry is always a good thing, and given how rabid and hardcore the Halo fanbase is, this should be pretty huge.
On a side note, whoever oversaw the creation of Halo’s online multiplayer? Love to crack that guy in the jaw.
