Were you that guy trying to post about poop in the last Big O thread?
The director, surprised the US came to him to commission a second season, was given two requests. More action, and reveal the mystery. However the director was more into the "monster of the week" serial style than making a proper story arc. Personally it always irked me roger appears the same age any time he is shown. The Tomato stuff was fairly interesting, but means nothing after it's framed by the ending.

wut

I thought so. It was more the suddenness of it, the whole "Well that was it. Heres Dorothy and Angel on a street, Roger's doing the first episode intro, BYE".
So did the "world" reset? Is everyone going to redo it all again? Were they all actually robots? It raised too many questions for a finale.
I guess I was hoping for more closure and exposition.

I feel like they had a better time exploring choice, or illusion of choice, destiny and the roles we play in all the show up to the finale. Like, when people forget who they were, what choices will they make? A number of people & robots seem to have returned to their old ruts. Or people who didn't (A tomato turned cop turned negotiator). Ending was just about as nonending as it gets.
I sort of feel bad for the creator, I doubt he ever understood the audience he was being delivered to like season one because it was seen as Batman Animated Series meets Gundam, which was new to us. He probably thought his fans were several years older than what the original run saw.
Here is your explanation, OP:
They made some cool robot stuff with an empty mystery for a setting because "who cares, big robot, cool art, my own person !Rei waifu."
US wanted more violence and to understand the "meaning."
There was no meaning.
But sure, your cheque cleared, so here is your second season, enjoy your tomatoes.

[spoilers]>>Memories can manifest as people sometimes[/spoiler] That's when I lost all hope in the plot and the mystery of the city.
Why did they name a giant robot after a euphemism for orgasm, anyway?

Official explanations:
>-Angel: "In the final episode, it was revealed that (Angel) herself was the Memories. Once she found out the truth, Angel used the Big Venus to try to erase everything and return it to how it was forty years ago. However she was persuaded by Roger's negotation which spoke of the purpose of the Memories, and allowed the world to continue."
>-Gordon: "His incomplete book, Metropolis, seemingly records what happened forty years ago. After he saw Angel off to the mysterious place in the depths of Paradigm City, he asked the true writer of Metropolis to record the Memories, and disappeared."
>-Big Venus: "The Big Venus awoke when Paradigm City's creator*, Angel, realised that she herself was the Memories, and tried to return to where she once was." (*The version of the word "creator" used here is the English word rendered in katakana, which is typically used in Japanese to refer to writers and artists and such)

This was all I could think about when reading that post.
Tbh I feel like there is no explanation to it and they just made a bunch of random shit up so 13 years later people can talk about how deep it is on the internet
>>14064264
Kinda'. But most people couldn't even pretend it meant anything. But is it art? It sure as shit ain't paintings of horses.
