The universe of the Halo video game series is expanded in seven short animated films from Japan's greatest anime directors and studios.

Sex, drugs, money, murder - not to mention love, heartache, humiliation, guilt, revenge, redemption - are central themes in this wicked dark comedy. Tracking six not-quite-so-young oilmen and dancers as they pursue life with reckless abandon in boomtown Houston during the Eighties, the story careens from casual pick-ups to painful break-ups, from betrayal to reunion with hardly a pause for breath.

This sweeping science-fiction saga delves into the rich “Halo” universe with seven exciting stories (told in eight parts) focused on Master Chief’s mysterious origins, the Spartans’ advanced combat capabilities, and the tense rivalry between Spartans and Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs).
