Sadly I read a lot of ignorant commentary in this thread. The question isn't whether Halo will work as an anime series. A lot of you have a singular image in your minds what an anime must be. Well your wrong as a genre the only defining characteristic is that it is animated. There is no set style, nor is it relegated to a particular age group. Hell some of the most cerebral series you will see on television are anime series. Basically it as varied as live action, or western animation. Which we all know is varied. We can easily see that the likes of South Park and Mickey mouse are light years apart.
I say if all you have watched is the Shonen Jump series on Adult Swim. Do yourself a favor, and widen your perspective. Watch some of a series like Gantz, and your probably going to have your mind blown. You will suddenly see that the potential is always there for something really deep.
To me the problem isn't that it will be animated. The genre isn't the problem. The problem will be the writing, and the management. In other words will they do the series justice, and not try to make it into something it was never supposed to be. I would say if its close to the Starship Troopers Roughnecks series it will have a lot of potential. Perhaps the best thing would be six or seven episode story arcs. I don't think it will work if it is too episodic.
