What does /m/ think about The Big O?

It's a Big O

Omae ga da

The design itself is 10/10. I fucking love the pile bunker arms and the head is cool.
Show itself is a mixed bag. It's better when it's just episodic mystery stories rather than focusing on the core plotline and it can get really muddy in the final arc in particular. But it's charming enough to stay at least decent.

Big O

Its showtime!

It’s my second-favourite mecha show and its fatalistic themes make it my standard reference when I want to show some normie who likes ‘Eva’ what an ACTUAL philosophical mecha anime.

there's a very good reason for that

but I agree. though overall I liked the show a lot

Its kindve a double edged sword. America gave the show the second season it deserved, but forced an ending that wasnt needed

>>15047087

eh, if nothing else it resolved the cliffhanger so Im grateful for that even if the ending was fucknanners

One of my favorites, along with Giant Robo and Getter Robo:Armageddon

Neither of them are "philosophical" you underage retard.

>>15047187
Well, Big O is kind of philosophical, as it questions what it means to be human. In the second season anyways

>>15047202

No. Not really. The director just thinks Asimov is neat.

I was a philosophy major at an Ivy-tier university. If you think their musings were vapid, that’s fine—it’s even true in the case of ‘Evangelion’—but you don’t have to mainline some sort of metaphysical dialectic to qualify for the descriptor of ‘philosophical’.

>>15047202

It’s much less about that than about how man grapples with the notion of his destiny being (partly) preordained: rage against it like Schwarzwald, ignore it like Alan Gabriel, revel in it and expect everything to come to you like Rosewater, or do the best you can to live by your ideals using the tools destiny gives you, like Roger—though the parallels with the questions of robots’ humanity do draw deterministic questions somewhat into the fold.

It had a terrible opening

Honestly, I was okay with the ending. Confusing as all hell, but it wasn't the trainwreck that it had the potential to be.
