One thing I absolutely adore about Big O (the show and titular mech), is the sheer heft of the Megadei, especially the Bigs. The Big O's massive pile bunker fists are just beautiful to watch in action. "Cast in the name of God, Ye Not Guilty".

I actually like the ep13 cliffhanger as the ending of the show. That shot of him facing the 3 robots coming from the ocean with Dorothy at his side is so cool!

Blame Cartoon Network for the ending. Their stipulations for producing the new season were to make the action a little more anime-like (which is why the action scenes with the robots move more quickly), and to come up with an actual resolution for the mystery threads set up in the first season. The director said he never had a plan to resolve anything when he started the show because the mystery and the atmosphere were all he really cared about. I wish he was allowed to just leave this stuff alone and have fun asking questions but I don't dislike the ending. While the second season isn't as great as the first, I'm very happy we got what we did, and I have to admit the last batch of episodes do a great job ratcheting things up and keeping you interested.

Big O came out at the wrong time. It literally has the same structure as Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, or Vampire Hunter D.

The deeper meanings are lost on people who need it to be only one thing. It's never just literal or figurative. We are not meant to have a simple answer. We are meant to find acceptance while embracing the meaning of this existence. 'Tis no dream.

Loved this show as a kid. It combined my two favorite things. Batman and Gundams. The Megadeuce are some ofbmy favorite mechas out of any mecha series.

I was 40 when this came out in 1999. Great show and animation. No moronic comic relief that often plague many cartoons.

Did anyone one else pick up on the fact the female character we're introduced to in the Rise of P ending for Lies of P is a "Puppet" named R DORITHY

One of the coolest animes since Cowboy Bebop. The noir feel, the cold calculated almost Batman lines, the 50ft mech with Duel pile bunkers. Holy hell I love Big O

This is in desperate need of a reboot that keeps to the mysteries of season one- the bald children with the barcodes was very much in the vein of The Matrix and the fiction of that decade.

"No one wants to talk about Big O."

SHOWTIME!

Loved Big O so much. Steve Blum was perfect as Rodger, and the Sudden Impact finishing move has lived rent free in my head for YEARS.

Man, this will always be one of my all-time favorites alongside Trigun

The ending always struck me as it was a memory of humanity. That was a warning to any life or humans to not repeat their mistakes but the program was damaged as it ran. Eventually the memory loss caused the AIs to forget what their pourpose as a warning to the rest of humanity or future life as the system fails.

"If we do not learn from the past we are doomed to repeat our mistakes"

That big O theme was the favorite part of every episode

Now Big O! It's showtime!

Can I just say that I got into band in elementary school because I fell in love with the music if Big O! Specifically, the saxophone. My dream was to one day play Jingle Bells like the cover played in the Christmas special! I fell in love with that particular cover. Till this day it’s my favorite cover of Jingle Bells and I listen to it every December.
