I didn't like this episode much other than the Roger and Dorothy interaction.. It was overall kinda lame.

I like this episode very much. I felt like it showed or hinted at least that the androids are capable of some form of feelings. Plus I love classical music.

Though a bit boring, the piano part I definitely enjoyed. I always liked The Big O for it's ability to tell a story, not so much how exciting it is.

Plus I'm a big fan of classical music.

5/5

So I guess androids are pretty common in the city? Instro to the android that his father was created?

Lol that magician guy got squashed.

I love how Dorothy always does her noisy and crazy piano skills every morning just to wake Roger up XD

Standard stuff, hope to see more Big O and Dorothy Action!

I know it's to be expected in a mecha anime but they contrived as hard as they could to get an enemy mecha in this episode. I would have been okay without the mecha fight in this one, with Roger finding a peaceful solution. Every series has to have its 'boring' episodes but there's no reason it couldn't have been more thoughtful.

Best episode yet. Dorothy was great in it, and seeing another intelligent robot like Instro opens new knowledge of the series' universe.

Such a beautiful episode.

This show is really promising so far. Interesting setting, mysterious, slightly melancholic atmosphere, emotional stories, decent writing, excellent music, and of course the 90s/early 2000s animation style that I'm so fond of. In my case, it checks all the right boxes.
I see. Your only option is to revolutionize the world.

He is getting rid of the robot . He is really mad about her playing the piano to wake him up. He’s playing has more heart than hers. A fellow robot that plays the piano as well. Maybe he tricked us all and he’s not so mad after all. This robot also felt happiness. A purple pointy man enters. The robot doesn’t answer the question. A suspicious scientist. A haywire phonos sonic machine caused the accident. A soundwave leveled his house. It’s music to his ears. Then he’s shooting machine guns out of the front of his car. It can’t be a giant robot. The pianist is driving the robot. He is his father’s instrument. He will enact revenge on the city. Showtime for big O. He creates a supersonic wave. She figures out how to play and snaps him out of it. Defeated. He hit himself with the wave. He only wants to play the piano. He is his legacy. He rips off his own hands. But he must return as he has not finished her lessons. How actually enjoyable it is to practice. 4

I said last episode that I wanted Dorothy to be more involved in Roger's cases, and my wish was immediately granted here. A very enjoyable episode. There are some great locations here: the lonely piano bar and the snowy woods/mansion. Music is fantastic, as it is in the other episodes, but it was easier for me to notice here because of how it is tied to the episode's plot.
