Halo Anime Series Unveiled at Comi-Con

343 Industries, which is within the Microsoft Game Studios, was created to oversee the entire Halo universe in the new Halo anime.  Microsoft unveiled a short anime series based on Halo this week at Comi-Con . In addition, a filing for 343 Industries was found at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which got a lot of buzz going as to what the connection would be between the two events. 

343 Industries will be in charge of overseeing the seven-episode Halo anime series, which is being called “Halo Legends.” The Halo anime will be available to XBox Live users this fall.  Microsoft is working with Warner Bros. to bring them to DVD in early 2010.

This is an exciting move on Microsoft’s part.  They are bringing to life one of the best video games of all time, and are doing it in a pretty savvy way.
