Why is Big O so popular?

>>15584742
Mecha Batman show that aired on Toonami.

Because it was on TV in America.

Honestly, it doesn't seem to be all that 'popular'. If anything, it's fairly well-regarded - but always quickly forgotten.

I mean, we've gotten next to no shitposting or discussion about it in recent memory - and even shows a lot of people appear to dislike around here (IBO, SEED Destiny, Code Geass, etc.) get mentioned far more frequently.

In my opinion, it was solid, and had a great driving premise.

Big O is anything, but popular.
It is amazing show, that deserves as much recognition as EVA.
It's sad, that people tend to dismiss season two its outstanding narrative.

A mecha show with film noir aesthetic, and surprisingly it blends them very well. Seriously, its a fucking good anime and if you disagree with me I'll just dismiss you as a fag with shit taste.

Actually, that was my biggest problem with Big O
Oftentimes, the mecha fights felt like they had nothing to do with the rest of the episode

>>15586605
Sometimes, yeah that is true. You can say that Big O and giant enemies were there just to make some episodes /m/ relevant. But it doesn't distract the whole plot because as I've said before, it's a detective noir story with mecha element (with more focus on the former).

Or simply it may not be your cup of tea, lad.

It teaches us what we really are.

>>15584742
Because it was on cartoon network.
Also it's kind of like a way more stylized tetsujin but it's not as good.

>>15586605
in Season 2 there were some really obligatory fights that didn't need to be there, but they were worried kids wouldn't be roped into the drama otherwise

It's a solid show that spirals out of control. I like its film noir style and its big lumbering mecha. It's not a masterpiece but it's neat.

>>15584742

Because it's general appealing to western tastes with loads of Asimov and various western sci fi motifs

But batman sucks.

>>15584742
Because it's good.

Faggot.

>>15584742
it appeared during the golden age of Toonami, it had a good dub, it had a high animation quality and solid aesthetic, interesting story (until they were forced to reveal everything anyway)

why wouldn't it be popular m8? or are you just wondering why tetsushingingaizerguard is not as popular in the west...?
