Halo Legends is out!

Remember last year when we wrote about the (then upcoming) Halo Legends anime? This is a series of 7 animated shorts that pay homage to the Halo franchise of video games, and are animated by some of the hottest anime studios, including BONES, Production I.G., Studio 4C, and Toei, and with notable project participants including Shinji Aramaki and Mamoru Oshii. Like another famous anime/pop culture tie-in, The Animatrix, Halo Legends expands on the Halo universe, filling in backstory, etc.

Well, at the time of release, Warner Bros., who is the US distributor, promised a release on both DVD and Blu-Ray sometime in “early 2010.” Well, they’ve delivered! Halo Legends is available TODAY, on DVD in both a single-disc “bare-bones” basic edition, a 2-disc special edition, and on Blu-ray (which I would wager looks simply awesome).

J-List is a peaceful island of Japanese pop culture for you
