IT'S THE DAY GOD'S SON WAS BORN.
We never have Big O threads.
In the world where we got new Kino and Devilman, I think we will probably get a new The Big O season.
this is what peak productivity looks like
>>160879803
What would another season of Big O be about?
>>160879932
what was the last season about?
>>160879932
A Japanese technomagic high school where big tittied 14 year olds go to learn to pilot megadeus, obviously.

I don't know, but I would hope it ignores the stupid continuity reset that happened at the end of the last episode. I still think that was a [AS] decision. Had Chiaki J. Konaka had his druthers, I think there would have been a Season 3 that actually dealt with all the horrible truths about Paradigm City.
>>160879440
god i fucking LOVE the art style of Big O, like a perfect amalgamation of Batman and anime

OBJECTION
With all these remakes recently, when is it our time?
>>160880404
I dunno, I enjoyed the ending.
On a semi-unrelated note, Big O has a great OST
>>160879757
Dorothy is cute
>>160881239
It sure does.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH2KdaPpeZg
And with anime becoming even more popular (with things like Space Dandy and FLCL 2-3), I think we have a chance.
Nice to see a Big O thread. Roger, you are a louse.

I would love another Big-O. I know it just wont happen because the Japs shit taste. Unless of course CN throws a gorillion dollars at them.
Would a new season cover what happens when the infinite loop is broken and what lies beyond the city?
>>160882760
CN is too interested in cheap animation right now. It would never happen.

probably to avoid lawsuits
>>160882850
I've seen the other one on YT, it's not very good. It would have been better if they could have at least got JAM Project to do one.
>>160882850
Anyone bought the blu-ray that was released recently? The box-art looks nice.
>>160880404
iirc the only AS condition was "reveal the mystery of Paradigm City", the continuity reset was all on the creators
>>160882905
JAM Project's music is very distinct, I don't think it fits Big O at all
>>160882933
I have JP BD
>>160883046
True, their usual style is too fast paced. But if they did something similar to the original OP. They can sing in other styles than hot-blooded/super robot.

What pop culture mashup will the opening of the new series be?
Big O is one of the very few animes where I would recommend the english dub over the JP.
>>160885511
That's a bad recommendation. It's alright, but there's not reason to choose that over the original.
>listening to the drama CD after all these years
>>160885511
Shut up. Stop saying this. The bebop dub is bad, the trigun dub is bad, none of these old dubs are good so get that into your stupid fucking nostalgia driven brain.
>>160885603
>>160885710
This is fake, we even see a living Dorothy!

He didn't want it to end like it did. Besides, it is only a meme that the second season is bad or meh.
>>160886374
>it is only a meme that the second season is bad or meh.
This, I think it was great. They rushed the story quite a bit, but it was still great.
>>160879440
I like Dorothy but I can't believe he gave up that Angel pussy for a sex bot. Maybe if Angel was more relevant to his adventures would he have chose otherwise.
>>160886546
Angel is retarded. Dorothy is the only one for Roger.
I am so glad I got the new blu ray. Now I can enjoy the Dorothy snark all I want.
>>160879440
He looks like the love child of Phoenix Wright and Bruce Wayne, with the voice of Spike Spiegel. No wonder this dub was so great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH2KdaPpeZg
Cast in the name of God, ye not tomato
>>160886546
Angel is Lucifer, though. Cut wings and all that.
>>160887482
Wonder if her father remembered the pleasure.
This is enough to give Roger an existential crisis.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
>>160887607
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5UUfplEORc
One of the best anime OSTs. This series was too good for Japan.
Dorothy wasn't even that cute...
>>160888079
Fuck did you just say?
I didn't understand the ending
>>160888501
It was all a simulation written by Angel and peformerd by robots.
>>160888558
But why
>>160888656
Why not?
>>160885406
>>160882503
>be smoker
>have ashtray just like that
>>160888501
No one really knows for sure. Some think that Big Venus and Angel reset the city over and over until they get the desired outcome. Big-O and Roger have to defend the city against all comers or Big Venus resets everything and tries again. Angel is a save-scumming scrub.
>>160888501
>>160888558
>>160889113
There are multiple iterations. The program, or paradigm is the Big O notation. The purpose might change depending on the master program (author), but Rosewater was meant to produce authentic beings. Roger is not a tomato. Tomatoes are his products.
There has been a memory wipe, and the remnants are being gathered. However, multiple simulations are being run simultaneously, and some remnants 'should not exist', as Dorothy said. Perhaps there was a virus?
The real world outside of the paradigm may be spiritual, and the whole system may be a Japanese take on Western theology. It would certainly seem like it. Heck, the amnesia 40 years ago is a clear reference to World War II and the subsequent (or even earlier) desire to forget.
>>160879440
I want to fuck Dorthy!
>>160889788
Well, who doesn't?
>>160889808
This guy >>160888079
I should rewatch this show.
If only we have more anime noire like this.
>>160889864
It's just Angel.
>>160890325
With all the rushing they didn't even have time to explain the Red Dorothy.
>>160890641
>Roger's pose and face
>>160890462
Roger is a messianic figure. The elite of Paradigm, the false leader, the murderer, is holding the Bible from public access. He is the False Messiah.
Dorothy represents the bride of the messiah, so she represents the church. Hence why she is always present and taken by the false messiah (Rosewater) to power Big Fau. She even visits a church and plays with children there.
Swartchwald represents Luther, is German, wants a "sole truth", sola scriptura etc. Spreads this knowledge among the population much to the dismay of Rosewater. The ghosts represent pagan gods, and the artificial and new megadeuses represent gnosticism and new religions. Hence why Dorothy's mind is a key component to them. Beck (the rich, murderer, banker and thief), however, is later converted and acknowledges Roger's place.
I'm glad that we at least got a 100 replies thread. that's a rarity.
Alright fellas, decided to finnish the second season so I can shitpost with you, already watched the first episodes, please keep the thread alive. SHOW TIME
>>160893303
That's not happening and you know it.
>>160893445
Have faith, anon.
How is he so suave? Best girl.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE BECK?
>>160896230
Please tell me this was real. Please.
Big O is actually a metaphor for a sci-fi screen writer who is perpetually unsatisfied with her own work so she keeps scrapping and rewriting the story with subtle changes to each iteration. Eventually the producer comes along and tells her to stop being an autistic bitch and just publish something to meet the deadline.
>>160896311
It's an edit, the line is real though.
>>160879440

"Roger...you louse..."
I Actually just finished watching this. I'm glad I saw this thread because I had no idea what the fuck happened in the last couple episodes.
My god, a fucking Big O thread on /a/. I'm dreaming.
>>160898111
Potentially my favorite scene in the second season and I'm not entirely sure why.
>>160888025
It was also clearly too good for the west since the CN producers ruined it
>>160880226
That doesn't seem safe, she could literally snap his spine in two with her legs
>>160888501
Big O S2 was a mistake
>>160879440
A reminder that the second season is non-canon trash and didn't happen.
BIG O-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-O!
>>160893303
Do yourself a favour and stop now.
What made the first season great was the dynamic between roger and dorothy. That was thrown into the trash and they even dared to retcon some of the scenes from the first season. It was also weaker in all aspects but especially so when it comes to the characters.
I thought megadeus looked a bit goofy the first time I saw it but those piledriver arms won me over pretty much instantly after they were used the first timeIs there ever going to be a season 3 or what, seeing there are quite a few shows being revived now?
I still need to watch this show. I'm Canadian so our TV channels fucking stink and I never got to watch anything but DBZ and pokemon reruns forever growing up.
>>160899696
Tomatoes don't have bones.
>>160901045
Season 2 only exists because Adult Swim paid for it.
desu at least season 2 had The Greatest Villain
I have an urge to rewatch now thanks /a/
So everything is a simulation until we can get the "real thing" that was lost 40 years ago, the megadei are like moderators and the director is the one who writes the book, fist it was angel but she got butthut that best girl won so she gave it to gordon and forged her memories and kept trying to win roger, until in the run we see best girl saved roger from drowning in that scene and he managed to negotiate with angel and now best girl won and will be on roger's side forever
also Roger is not a tomato for some reason
Is this right?
I still can't understand Roger the Wanderer though
>>160890641
G-Unit. Black Ops.
Best moment.
>>160902938
>>160896588
Built for sex. Lewd, hot, fully clothed sex.
What a fun episode.
>>160879440
Honestly, this show looks so good. Love the animation.
But I have NO idea what it's about. I am not a fan of big robots/mecha/gundam, but I survived TTGL, NGE, and Code Geass well enough.
What is this about?
>>160903038
40 years ago, everyone in Paradigm City lost their memories. Roger Smith is a negotiator, and secretly fights various threats to the city in his "megadeus" The Big O.
>>160903038
It's basically batman with a robot
It gets really weird in season 2
Just watch it
>>160903099
>It's basically batman with a robot
This is literally I know
>>160903093
It really is Batman...
Alright, I'll throw it in.
In honor for the responses, I'll post the only thing I know about this show

It's truevous êtes si gentil
>>160903099
>>160903093
Wait.
English or Japanese dub?
>>160903200
Japanese. People will say English but I don't like it very much.
>>160903200
Japanese, English dub made Swartchwald's german lines English
>>160879584
Wait Sounds is working again?
>>160903200
English. The EN VA direction got much more effort put into it.
>>160903200
Japanese, as usual.
The English dub might've been better than usual but English as a language simply doesn't work with anime in general. It's like displaying a late Picasso in a classicist gallery.
>>160903957
Holy shit, kill yourself.
>>160904054
No thanks, I'm objectively right.
Stick to your Steve Blum who sounds like he smoked two packs a day his entire life.
>>160904086
I mean, a voice like that matches Rodger's character very well.
>dub
mega deuce
>>160904349
But Roger doesn't smoke.
>>160880404
>>160882995
Big O was never intended to have a big over-arching story. That was something [AS] wanted.
>>160904439
Yeah the ending is about how executive meddling ruins everything
>>160904086
McConnaughey makes up for any deficiencies, perceived or actual.
>>160898930
The music made the scene
>>160903028
Beck episodes are almost Nanami-episode-hilarious to me.
>Schwarzwald and Big Duo were never a secret recruitable character in the SRW games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m-_D-tssGQ
He just wanted to find out the truth.
Please explain the ending.
Was it "deep" or just a cop-out?
What about that child soldier subplot?
>>160903028
>the fake Roger Smith repeating "BIG O" over and over while Big O slowly follows it
>>160905696
I never did get the part where Dastun found the kid version of himself. Best explanation I could come up with was the system ran out of NPCs and had to recycle them.
>>160904439
kind of sad
>>160906114
With Scharzwald, you needed a bit of story. He's too charismatic and obviously onto something to ignore it completely.
Post more of this slutty fuck bot
>>160906329
Dorothy is pure, you louse.
>>160906329
Dorothy is pure!
PURE!
>>160906329
Please respect Dorthy
How strong is rodger? How is he able to cradle carry dorothy when in the same episode it's shown grown men cant even push her over
>>160906539
Dorothy didn't want to be pushed over, she did want Rodger to carry her though.
>>160906539
Maybe Dorothy has an amti-gravity gyro built into her core that simulates/hides her weight until she does that weird "Lock Up" thing?
/o/ here, the thing that caught me at First with this show when it aired on [AS] was this glorious beauty. Truly my all time favorite anime Car that doesn't exist. Only Misato's Renault Alpine A310 and the Honda Today from "You're under arrest" even come close to this Toyota crown/Chrysler Imperial/Tucker mobile.

Goddamn, this scene freaked me out the first time I watched.I can still hear Gabriel's screams watching the Webm, both Dub & Sub.

>>160903200
English. The series itself is pretty western in its concept and setting and is pretty much "Batman with a mecha".
>>160900619
There was one line in the first season that Dorothy told Roger that the second season completely retconned that I remember enraging me.
Question, I can't think of an animes' name
It was about an engineer and his buddy who fixed giant round mechas that were used for fighting wars. The first episode was a snow area. They lost and then the main characters saved the driver and destroyed the giant mech.
>>160904439
Holy shit, no wonder. The episodic episodes that focused on Roger and Dorothy were the best, no wonder s2 sucked ass.
>>160912184
Sounds like Heavy Object.
>>160912222

I've always been curious, but forget to ask: how long dows the plastic last before it begins to disintegrate or become a gooey, mushy mess?

>>160912670
SO ALL ALONE
Big O is literally, genuinely, truthfully the ONLY anime where I wasn't dissatisfied with the final pairing. I maintain that it has the greatest romance in all of anime. Just incredibly satisfying in a way most romantic elements in most anime aren't.
>>160903028
Some people liek to shit all over S2 but I genuinely think that half of it was really nice with at least 3 great episodes.

I just wish season 2 had focused on their relationship like season 1 did instead of spiraling off into crazy shit. The best episode of season 2 is that Beck joke one where he builds Voltron because it was the closes to a season 1 episode.
Season 2 was a mistake. Adult Swim was a mistake.
