So, we wondered for weeks about just how they were going to wrap up Big O, and we've finally been shown the delayed and much pined-for conclusion.
spoiler[And they pulled an Evangelion.] Oops, I made that sound like a bad thing.  To be honest, I loved it, even though I got seriously confused there with spoiler[Big Venus.] Of course, I was somewhat distracted at the time by a crisis on my website.
Anyway, what's everyone else's take on the ending? Loved it? Hated it? Theories? Yeah, I know there was already a thread somewhat on this, and I was going to just continue that one, but I couldn't find it. Sorry. P.S. - And now it's appeared above this one. Ah well, if any mods wanna delete this little puppy, feel free. |

Loved it.
Unconventional, original, surprising, open-ended. (There are going to a lot of mad people) Season 3! Season 3! Season 3! |

Yeah. The Big-O ending did remind me of how Eva ended but it didn't annoy me as much Eva did. In fact, I enjoyed the ending alot even though some new elements (e.g. spoiler[the purpose of Big Venus and the short scene with Angel watching several video monitors with Roger and Dorothy beside her]) confused the bejeezus out of me.

Well it Nov 2rd and no doubt to saw the ending. O.K. What did you think of Adult Swim's little Joke! They just had to do it! Right?
@#$%$#@*$%#! Well, now down to the real Brass Tax. What did you think of the ending? spoiler[Eva Anyone? Actually it's the stage of life that everyone has there own chosen role in. Why do you think Roger is who he is and why he has power Big-O. Well now he starts over again. Almost like Lian's Reset, right? ] Honestly their going to be arguing over this ending for many Kons to come. Time to start another Panel: The End of Big-O! David Glenn ----------- D Glenn Ent. |

I'm torn on this one, personally.
I liked the ending, to a certain extent, but...it kind of seemed like the kind of thing that wants you to think its profound and enlightening, when it was really just very confusing, left room for a third season (not a bad thing, IMO), but ultimately, it didn't answer a damn thing. I feel about this the same way I feel about Matrix: Reloaded. Great set up for something bigger, and on both fronts, the third installment had best to tie up some loose ends. spoiler[Mass produced Roger Smiths? So, are the "actors" of the Paradigme Play humans or androids? Big Venus was a tad confusing, but apparently it and Angel are the "reset catalysts". Gordon Rosewater wrote himself out of reality, kind of like suicide, guess he was sick of the whole thing. This leaves one achingly huge question. Just who is the "true author of [that] book"?] Guess we'll have to wait for a third season, lets just hope that ratings and sales will show that there is adequate interest. Syker Seven |

How much do you want to bet that if they ever question the writer of the screen-play 'what was going though your mind', the answer will be 'Cristal-Meth'.
 Better anime though chemistry!

Hmm, well, I didn't hate it, but I was disapointed in it. Rather than answering questions it just left us with more. If there isn't going to be a third season or a second series or a movie or OAV release then this is a worse ending than Eva, atleast Eva eventually ends properly.
Just another case of "wait and see" Emerje BTW, I loved the false start, cheers Cartoon Network you got me.

I watch an ep or two of Big O Season 2 and thankfully, it didn't lose me tonight. Now I can watch the rest of the series without ripping what's left of my hair out.

I had to give up cable two months ago, so I'm totally out of touch with Big O. Dammit.
Guess I'll have to wait for the DVDs to come out... |

 DAMN! Missed another episode!
*Has only seen, like, 2 or 3 eps of Season 2* It ended already? But I guess from the look of things I didn't miss much. I had always pondered of how Big O would end, but it seems Eva had a nice influence, eh? Now I can be like Ataru and "hopefully" watch the rest of the series in peace. 
Hopefully it isn't "finished" though. Watching the End of Eva made me feel like I was staring into a blackhole. 
 Does that even make sense?

whoah! that was like, weird and stuff, but weird in an awesome way. anyone else think the whole final Big O stage was very "gundam hammer"?
anyways, i think that was a good place to end it, and they should just leave it at that. i can't think of how they could move it on passed that, and make it really good. |

Roger just realized something spoiler[He erased his own memories, and such he wanted to live free, and in order to live free, it doesn't matter what happened or who he was. All that matters is that he is. Much like Shinji finding out he was just afraid of love, Roger fesses up that he doesn't want to remember and learned to live with it.]

Yeah, it seems to me that since the series has now come full-circle, there's not exactly a need for a third season.
spoiler[Maybe not just Roger, but everyone in Paradigm willingly had their memories erased? I mean, what we saw of life beforehand was not a pretty picture, so maybe they all had their memories wiped out en masse to escape the pain of remembering. Of course, with their memories erased, they forget what happened, seek to find it again, find it, suffer, and repeat. I dunno, I'm probably way off. Just some king_micah-induced musings.  ]

Number 6 never leaves the village, and once again I can put my copy of Taxi Driver on endless loop, simply said what goes around, comes around only this time from Japan. Red Harvest begat Yojimbo, Yojimbo begat Last Man Standing....and so on and again. Am going to miss you Angel.

Cartoon Network needs to do the right thing and lay the new season card on the table. Sunrise needs to make the Season 3 they promised.
Big O is the greatest mind fsck in the universe. THe Matrix-like ending rocked. |
