The Big O

[R.I.P.LordShmeckie]

They're the co-producer because they got it going again and helped head production of Season 2.

[SpellBinder]

Yeah, but also suggests that CN had influence on who got to work on the 2nd season and such. Assuming that all of the old crew could have been brought back, maybe some of them wanted more $$$ than CN and/or other producers were willing to pay.

[R.I.P.The_Negotiator]

yes!!! Big O needs a third season. Id like to see where they planned (or did not) on taking the series. I kind of liked the original ending, but kind of hated it as well. nice because you could let your imagination run rampant, but not so nice because you never knew for sure, know what I mean?

HEY CARTOON NETWORK!!!! season 2 kicked **bleep** hardcore, thanks a heap!!!!!! a Season 3 would own ALL! pretty please? with sugar on top?

[R.I.P.Zolf]

What they need to do is go back in time and prevent the first season from ever being created. That would make the world an infinitely better place.

man o man!! if they had time travel, they can go and cap those assholes that thought up inuyasha instead and make the trip REALLY worth while!! I could really do without that tripe clogging up the airwaves for half an hour before the good shows come on. magical jewels and half demons? please..... almost as bad as WHR, dont even get me started on that.......


If you dont like the show, don't post in the thread. You don't see me crapping on inuyasha threads, do you?

[SpellBinder]

Man, I'm glad I did a tripple check there. Almost thought you were flaming Inuyahsa and WHR pretty badly (maybe I need some sleep). I'm not fond of people who post spam like that. Now if you can give at least a half-hearted, good reason, I'm okay with that. Everyone's entitled to an opinion (just please give a good reason other than "[insert title] s|_|x0r$").

But you do have a point, The_Negotiator. If you don't like a particular series, try to keep calm about it when reading posts of those who do. I ain't the biggest Inuyasha fan there is (despite my icon), but I let the true fans of the series alone.

Don't take it so seriously. It's just a dumb joke, I don't particularly think badly of Big O. The thread topic just seemed like an easy opportunity for my pathetic attempts at wit. I'm sorry if I offended you.

[apollyonrc]

no more big o there is so many other better anime out there it need to end sometime

[R.I.P.The_Negotiator]

HA ha, yeah. I dont anything very seriously. the internet is just a fun place. as far as WHR goes, reasons that I don't like it are the main character just mopes around with those stupid things in her hair, and sometimes does something. mostly talks and whines tho. Kind of reminds me of kikaider. But at least you had some good action in kikaider. and about inuyasha, its just too, I dunno sailormoon-esque for my tastes. not as bad as sailormoon tho. It did put me to sleep and made me miss ep 24 of Big O, the one where schwarzvalds ghost comes back and Big O kicks Big Duo's **bleep** for the second time.


maybe its just 'cause I like action anime, with emphasis on action. I like DBZ when they actually do something like fight. That happens about every 10th episode, lol! I also like anime that makes you think, and thats the reason I like Big O. It gets you wondering what the hell did happen 40 yrs ago, and if you watch the last episode, its very philisophical. It makes one question ones existance. How do you know your not a hologram? could you prove it?

I do think that a third season of Big O could **bleep**. but then again, it could kick major arse if done correctly. I guess it would all boil down to if they made it just to make money, or to please the fans of the series.

[R.I.P.yashasgurl12002]

Big O should have a thrid and final season But if you didnt see the very begining seriously, dont watch it I need to figure out what the heck the show is is try to put out I dont understand what happend afterward.  

[FayLover6976]

I thought that the creation of a season three was still up in the air,It hasn't been stamped out yet has it???

[Alissa]

Still up in the air, as far as I know.

[Zopwx2]

I think the end of season 2 was left open ended on purpose.

And it was unsatisfying, I mean this thing is: http://irev.net/r_smith/behmoth-more%20plans-2.png

and it was only in the show for like 10 seconds, and thats just one of a whole bunch of things that were never explained.

[R.I.P.tazelbain]

Because Big O is a show about a show. Next, season should be a new show. The next show could be a remake of "Three's Company" starting Roger, Dorthy, and Angel. Daustin(sp?) can be the landlord.

Not that I've seen or heard. Pretty much the odds for a 3rd season are 50/50. Either there will be or there won't be.

[R.I.P.Balmung_AzUre_Sky]

Big O **bleep** anyway, its a big rip off of Evangelion plus a show that **bleep** shouldnt be on for this long

[R.I.P.blackmoore]

i'd like a third season as long as they didn't jerk us around during the last episode and leave more questions then answers which is all you really wanted in the first place for closure

is this the behemoth that vera was talking about?

Yes!! But if they do make a 3rd season, I hope the quality of animation is better than the 2nd season...I just started watching BIg O recently but did anyone notice the dip in animation quality in season in 2 when compared to the first season. 

---

I thought the animation quality was just as good, although I could definately tell when CN took over the show. Of course, I don't have a trained eye for it. But the style of animation, the visual tricks, are definately still there in the 2nd season. The last ep is an example: Venus and Big O walking into each other? The camera work on Angel's set? Such eye candy.
Now if only WHR did that /sigh/

[The_Grinch]

well ya there should be a third season in my opnion the never was a ending in the seconed season

[Zopwx2]

Actually the animation change (which I wasn't a fan of) was not CN's fault. its due to the fact that most anime is switching from cell animation to computer animation.

Thank "R.Smith" from the paradigm city forums for scanning the official companion book (entirley in japanese unfortunatly)

Enjoy studying these for a while:

Hey thanks for the pics! So maybe it wasn't the quality I was noticing, but the imagery. The second season they start getting metaphorical and talking about tomatoes, so I might have picked up on the symbols more.
That city diagram seems really interesting- almost as if they could raise the city out of the water if they wanted to... possibly a way NYC tried to combat rising sea level in the future? Of course, that technology would have been lost after the apocalypse. hmmmmmm....

[DarkManifest]

I completely disagree with a third season.  Not because I'm a beeyotch like that or because I think Big O's ending was as satisfying as Cowboy Bebop's (because God knows it wasn't) but because the questions we need answered can be covered in a prequel OVA, with snazzier animation and some killer robot fights.  I mean, who wouldn't want to see a Big O movie? Really.

Remember that episode Roger the Wanderer? Where he was walking through Paradigm as it was before whatever cataclysm took everything to hell? I'd like to see a movie about that.  See why Roger was known as Major, what the real Dorothy Wayneright was like, Michael Seebach's discovery of the Archetype underground, what Angel and Roger's relationship as military personnel might have been, and what it was, exactly, Gordon Rosewater asked the original Roger Smith to do that led to his (alleged) death.

Why, you may ask, shouldn't all that be covered in season three? Because it wouldn't take thirteen more episodes to go over it, and because thirteen more episodes are just going to open yet more questions.  I mean, we howled for season two after season one left us hanging and look where we are now.  Just to spite us, the writers might make it even _worse_ at the end of Season 3.

On a side note, I've found comfort in thinking of Big O as one big metaphor.  Don't take it too literally, and you may find you understand it more.  Sort of like the Bible (references to which show up a lot in the series, but I digress.)

[R.I.P.gusgusdamouse]

that's actually the best counter to a third season i've seen. congratulations!
