Why? If no theatrical release and hence zero marketing the movie is going to be crappier than crap, production values and story. Might as well get a few HS fans together over a weekend and make a 4 part Youtube fanmade movie.

I suppose if the make it on a $20,000 budget they might turn a profit.

The animated Resident Evil films were good, at least compared to the live-action ones. Well, anything compared to the live-action ones seems good.

Good point quality-wise. But RE is far more popular than HS so success of the RE DTV animated movies was much more likely, this meant they could afford to invest reasonable amounts into the production. HS is a much more risky proposition so they will need to keep production costs down, of course they need to use Anna Torv as the Nariko VA.

I would like a theatrical release as well. I know the direct to video aspect of it raises questions about budget and presentation, but there are people out there that know what they are doing and seem to be wizards by creating great content without big budgets. You can even see TV series matching the quality of films nowadays. I just feel we need to wait and see how it turns out.

Definitely a direct to video may not have the same impact as a theatrical release, but at least I am happy to see that still Sony has this franchise in their thoughts and that maybe in the future we are to see more stuff from it.
