I can never bring myself to get hyped for these "untitled teaser style reveals". I need the format/medium, name, genre, and some kind of promo art before I can begin to care about or get excited for something (though if it looks really good only 2/3 of the above are needed). I feel the same about that "love cobra" thing.

Love Cobra has a lot in its teaser to analyze, and also we know its (very significant) creator which is probably the most important piece of info of all.

On the other hand "O" is clearly as empty and mysterious as possible, and does not expect anything more. So I don't think either of these fit the category you're trying to shape here.

Would be cool if they redid Big O, but I doubt this. Also no one can beat the amazing music and ambiance the OG had.

Or, yknow, continue the story, which the writer has wanted to the entire time.

This almost definitely is not related, of course.

Ahhh yes. It’s been so long I forgot about that. Sadly….

Not sure what you mean? They both clearly fit whatever category I'm implying since I'm the one who made up the category... And the category is just no synopsis (I meant to say synopsis not genre? did a mod edit that or something cause I remember writing synopsis), final art, final title and also format (is it for tv or theatres, is it a series, is it 24m format, 12m format or shorter?).

Neither love cobra nor O have a final title, final art, final synopsis, and I don't recall if the format for either is released yet.

You say O deliberately leaves details vague to create "mysterious hype" which I clearly implied when I said "untitled teaser style reveal". So we're in agreement?

I most assuredly did not use the word "hype".

E: To be clear, I'm aware I didn't explain myself very well, I was kinda out of it.

Something about the stylistic minimalism makes me think "Shaft", but I'm a Shaft fanboy, so discount this speculation heavily.

Love seeing others have not forgotten the Big O. One can hope they'll finally make the proper sequel that fantastic show deserves.

SAO Ordinal Scale?

O-Parts Hunter?

Something related to a circle rather than a letter O?

Knights of the Round Table thing?
