Was Roger Crazy? Big O a Fantasy?

I pick up on the plot lines and use them to understand the underlying message of the entire show - a lot of it is a look into humanity's conflicting state. It's a very philosophical show, even though it's based around the trademark Japanese GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS!!!!1!11!1

When you look at how human emotions affect the characters and how they interact, the show takes on a new dimension...

When I've searched the net, I read things like Angel was a megaduece and that she has the ability to 'reset' the city like a program. Reading this post leades me to believe that people who actually understand the show are basically saying that the show has no conventional plot and that its up to the fan to create it. Is this true or am I just writing nonsense?

Also, if anyone could explain the show in the same manner as you would to someone who had never watched it? it would help a lot. thanx in advance.


Well, no one saying that the show doesn't have a plot (its a very well written show), its just that no one is quite sure what exactly the writers intend for the big picture to be. That's why most of us are so hot for a third season -- the first two seasons are so open that many different theories on what it means could be correct. But Big O fans tend to be a pretty thoughtful bunch, so you'll find no shortage of theories here.

As for how I usually describe the show to the uninitiated, I tell them "Well, its kinda like Batman, except with giant fighting robots. No, It's really much better than I just made it sound." Tongue
