That honestly explains a lot. I got the sense thay had less budget and it did shift style a lot.

They shifted from hand drawn to digital in the second season

I've watched the series more than once, but honestly I never noticed, although it was before I learned to look at anime as critically as I do now.

Big O is a pinnacle of visual storytelling.
You can understand A LOT just from paying attention to the details.

Short version: there are number of narrative levels in the story and by the end characters became aware of most of them. Angel is essentially a writer/creator of this world or his/her avatar and decided to erase her/his own work, but Roger negotiated with her and convinced author to start the story over instead.

And there is a Daitarn 3 reference at the very end.

Ha

Because they were trying to get a third season out of Adult Swim.

I've never bought that interpretation because Angel did a number of things that it wouldn't make sense for a person totally in control of reality to do. More reasonably, her becoming aware of the fake nature of Paradigm City gives her power over it

Angel was also a character in-story. She wasn't self-aware about it for the most part of the show. Angel isn't a Game Master and didn't intend to interfere with story. I guess she isn't really an author herself, but more likely his avatar or projection.

How did you not fucking notice? It went from looking fucking amazing to looking like shit

It's obvious on first glance that everything became early-2000s digipaint. How did past you not even notice that?
