| Very interesting turn in events and I quite liked this other world he hallucinated or whatever it was but it sure was interesting and well I do wonder what's next! |
 |
| Strange, isn't it? 5/5 |

| SEASON 2, START!!! 5/5 |
"It chooses one who uses the power of God created by man, one who is able to arrive at one truth!"  |
| So this supposedly begins the second half of Big O that was divisive for whatever the reason? That fake out alternate universe was certainly strange at least. I liked the stage play, but it was still weird to see. The long shot didn't really show anything, and it was mostly Roger and Norman talking through barely moving character models before a still background. There was apparently a three year gap between episode 13 and 14, which may explain the need for some manner of recap. Still, the alternate universe bit was really confusing and misleading, so I'm not sure what it was supposed to do. Was it to express some uncertain vagueness associated with memories, as well as propose a possible interpretation of the series in terms of unreliable narration? Dunno. |
| Some kind of crazy episode. Wonder what will be next. |
 |
| Lots of flashbacks. We get to see a Paradigm city without Roger. Seems they are indeed making the resolution even deeper as the director has said at the end of S1. It does remind me of NYC. Especially the subway system and the top buildings. Roger has his resolve. Let's goo!!! |
| Could the production gap between episode 13 and 14 perhaps be part of some sort of metanarrative? You know, the show is about memories, and for the average viewer at the time, their memories about episodes 1 to 13 would have to be invoked and trusted, even if not 100% accurate, to appreciate episode 14. Could it be that I'm reading too much into something that is just a crazy recap? |
 |
| I definitely see how Chiaki J. Konaka became more involved in season 2 haha. Great "start"! Tomatoes are important! Also not sure but Angel's name in Japanese sounds similar to "play"/"act"? Nice detail if true. P.S. I wonder if the newspaper with manga panels showcased the actual Big O manga |
| So Roger has time for all that agonising introspection and doubt in the middle of battle with three megadeuses? They're quite patient for killer mechas. I know it's not the android Dorothy, and takes place in some past/alternate universe dream sequence, but it's still annoying to see "her" entering that night club with some blonde douche. What a messed up existential crisis. I like the animation and artstyle update. It balances the visuals to be more in-line with other early 2000s anime. Not to say it doesn't still have a distinctive style on its own, of course. |

| They got me in the first half dammit, extremely well done existential crisis and self reflection to face his deepest fears. |
