Big O ending was like....umm, how does this work with anything. The first 13 episodes were like the first Matrix (no where in comparison of quality, but just follow me on this) and episodes 14-24 were like the second Matrix movie (good, but nothing compared to the first) and the last 2 episodes were like the thris Matrix movie(everyone is like, O.....K. that's completely different with what they started from) And its ok to go in a completely different direction than how you start but you have to realize it will confuse the hell out of people, and no one will really get it. I will say i liked the touch of Angel being the creator of Metropolis, but the whole last episode just didnt make sense at all.
and hands down, FLCL is one of the best endings i've seen in anime....EVER, but why the hell is it so short?

It's an OVA. Original Video Animation. Which means in Japan this was released one episode at a time on video. The only reason the show is such high quality is that reason, because instead of working on getting one show done a week they had months.
More isn't always better. Take Excel Saga. They show's first few DVDs were geniously funny, but as time went on the craziness got old and you started to know jokes were coming before they happened, thus the show slowly got worse and worse. The creators' intent was to convey a message or an idea in six episodes, if they wanted or needed to make it longer they would have.

And no one references my episode by episode good from way long ago? So depressing.
OH well the last episode was wrong on so many levels. The second half of the second season had issues. As some of you are aware im a big fan of Big O. But i have only seen that last episode twice. Once on its orignal air date and one night when Tivo was nice enough to record it. I havent gone out of my way to watch it again. Its to depressing. Would I watch a third season? Sure in a heartbeat. Would i watch if it it was done by the SD Gundam crew? Yes even then. IM that much of a fan.
I could go into multiple posts about that last episode. Rights and wrongs as well as what was left out. Please ask. I will gladly pick it apart.
Big thing. 100 things pointed towards it being america, really being New York. Nothing said anything about this at the end |

not multiple posts....but i did hear a lot about stuff being kept out....what exactly was kept out
and seriously....it had many implications towards america but the second season just went too far and became too much about machines and gods and all that crap...it was very unnecissary

| Just a lot of unanswered plot lines. Id have to go back re-read my orignal reviews. I think this mostly was allowed to give a reason to a season 3 if we see it |

how could there be a 3rd season? it ended exactly how the matrix trilogy ended....a complete restart...how do you make a season out of that?

Just because the new beginning is the same. Doesnt mean the same plot lines would happen over anew. I mean you have angel and R. Dorothy standing and looking at each other as Roger drives by. Those two were not introduced to each other until mid way through season 1. And not nearly in the capacity that they obviously are in that last episode. Dorothy in her standard black look and Angel as season 2 Angel.
So you could just mess with things to do a new season. And maybe answer more question about why the set even exists. Or Angel stepping outside into the real world |

still it would be a bit too repetitive

| Ok so Angel changed the programmed and the new Big O is a female robot. Norman is the chief of police. Roger is negotating for the return of R Dorothy's cat. Then Jet comes along to investigate roger. Plus the big battle between Big O and Vehicle Voltron happens about halfway through the season. But you cant believe it when Dastun turns out to be a mutant whos working with the lantern corps! |

I only skimmed this topic, didn't read it all. But I read part of an interview with the creator, and he just put Big O in a CITY. He took elements from New York, London, and others. But it's just a generic city. It is not New York.

| When you have a series where your picking at clues, especially in season 1. Then you want to find out for yourself where they are. Or what the background story. Both before the characters and the storytellers tell you about it. Same goes for Trigun and noticing things like "Colt" on the guns. As someone who watchs a show like that. Your looking for clues and want to believe its part of the story |

I know. I'm just informing you that the creator purposedly made it a generic CITY city. Just trying to help you make sense of the show is all.

| I refuse to make sense of it. Since making sense would be a sense of closure. ANd i want some mystery to make me watch it again and again. |
