Also Halo Legends: Origins (Part 1) was really good. EXTREMELY good. Dare I say excellent. That might just be a skewed view because everything else was TOTAL SHIT but at the very least it's watchable. The VA mimicking Cortana does an excellent job; she really has all of Jen Taylor's mannerisms down. I thought it might be Jen Taylor at first, but her voice is a little too high.
And the ANIMATION. From what I can tell it's mostly completely BY HAND. Which is one big fucking FINALLY! for me. Not knocking on 3D or anything, I love it (when it's done well ahemtheduelahem), but when they said they were making a Halo --cartoon-- I was kind of expecting... more cartoons. But Origins definitely delivers in full and if Part 1 was any indication then the whole thing might make up for the gigantic disappointment that was EVERYTHING ELSE.
