Trying to get people to watch Big O in 2025?

LOOOLLLLL!!! Thank you for that beautifully esoteric reply. Made my heart glow. 💜✨ YEAH, man... Getting anyone to watch any anime prior to like...jeez... 2019!?!? Even that? I'm raining creepy flyers from the sky like Schwarzwald.

Just tell people "Giant Robo piloted by Bruce Wayne." Same folks who worked on BtAS in the 90s, and second season only exists because Cartoon Network ordered it. I still think of it every now and then.

I'm half way thru my bi-annual re-watch of Big O

It's admittedly been a hot minute since I rewatched it!

My second favorite mecha anime after Eva

I get a little sad that the second cour makes the jump to digital it loses all the atmosphere! (I know it was made as a complete separate production funded by the US though) It's still a total banger the whole way through!!!

Wait, what? I don't think I realized that at all! I just remember it starts basically undoing the tone of the first part's ending.

Yup! If you watch it straight through its VERY apparent. You lose all the texture, deep blacks, and other photography tricks they used to create atmosphere. Don't get me wrong tho - it still looks great!

Yeah, every studio was turning to digimation back then
