Save The Big O!

It's official.


There will be NO third season.
This is the short attention span version of the main story below.

We have written and called the network, they have sent us confirmation concerning this.

The man in charge of Adult Swim, Mike Lazzo, envisions the future of Adult Swim to be inexpensively produced "funny cartoons," not anime. This "mindset" was further reinforced at the web cam party where certain Adult Swim staff members mocked Big-O, and referred to it as "shit" before shutting it off.

While we support fully Lazzo's decision to capitalize upon the current popularity of great programs like Family Guy, Aqua Teen, and Harvey Birdman, we cannot and will not support the mindset toward dedicated anime people who for years have been looked down on by those whose appreciation of cartoons ends at the funny pages. It is patently disturbing that despite the tremendous amount of money Cartoon Network spent to produce Big-O that William's Street is willing to abandon that niche of people, assuming that they'll simply be "absorbed" into the new programming schedule.
Imagine that... perhaps that also explains why they never went public with this news. Perhaps Williams Street was hoping that everyone would forget and just roll over like a bunch of lapdogs (pardon the pun).
Contributing members of the Big-O family have therefore decided to put their networking skills together and to UNIFY the anime community together into a cohesive economic body which both sponsors and Network officials will be forced to recognize.
That "body" is going to be the largest organized group of Gen-X'rs and Cusper anime fans that Cartoon Network has ever seen.
And it's all going to begin right here.
If you're tired of the bullshit of being stereotyped, of not having a voice... if you're tired of beauty and great storyline taking back seat to the tastes of the guy at work who farts and thinks it's funny, join this site, and be an active participate in the largest contingent of anime foot soldiers the world has ever seen.
We're going to be busting right out of the asphalt, right out of the goddamn ground just like a megadeus.
And they're never going to know what hit them.
Get out your chromebusters people...


It's Showtime!
