Have you seen much of Amber Tamblyn, the star of Joan of Arcadia. I've never seen the show, nor could I find a pic at the moment, but what is your opinion of her for the role of R. Dorothy.

Good call on James Marsden. Portman I disagree with...but once again I have no one better...perhaps my standards are a bit too high because she is my fav. character in the series (Norman is a close second)

To get off of the movie bit for a little and to promote other discussions, I've decided to post for you all something special. I have been able to dig up pictures of Michael Seebach from the Manga before he becomes Schwartzwald.

Enjoy! :dance: :lol:

I want to learn what must be known!" ~ Michael Seebach, Episode 4

Schwartzvald seems like a pretty tough journalist (maybe it's the facial hair). I think I would have liked his character before he turned evil. Also, what about anna paquin for R. Dorothy?

Who actually saw the whole ending last night? (I saw the thread about this elsewhere so I thought I'd bring it up here.)

With what y'all have seen and know about the ending, who thinks they should make a 3rd season? And following the poll over a paradigm-city.com, do you think Season 3 should be side-stories within the previous seasons, a sequel, a prequel or an alternate universe story.

Personally, they may need a whole 'nother season just to explain Episode 26, if not the rest of Season 2.

I forgot about it last night. (I was writing scholarship essays among other things.) However, I do think that if they want to make another season they should make a prequel season. A prequel might end up explaining what happens in the end of season 2... maybe.

I hope they show the ending again. *sighs in frustration*

A question: I may think about asking the Mods if I can write a review for Season One. If I do, is anyone here knowledgable enough to write one for Season Two to go along with it?

Anyone heard of the One Coin Big O Figures?

I ordered one the other week and got it this Friday. It was Big O firing its rockets and shoulders canons.

I'll admit, it's much smaller than I expected, even though I had read 4 inches previously. It's a cool little thing, but had I known how big it actually was, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

Definitely not qualified to write a review on season two. And I missed the full ending (again). I think I'm never gonna see it at this rate. Hey Zion, you don't happen to post in other threads do you? This is the only one I ever see you in.

They showed it again? I know how it is. Except I've never seen that last episode. Sigh...

I have the first episodes on VHS, and I'll be buying the first and last DVDs of Volume 2. Big O is one of my favorite series (behind UC Gundam and Last Exile)

Do you think I'd be qualified to review it? I'm not sure, but I think the religious imagery (not negative nessacarily) is more prominent in season 2....

Thanks man!

And yeah I've only seen the 1st DVD, I picked it up at half price books for 8, when I saw it I knew I had to watch the rest, it was a nice break from the anime I'm used to. I'm glad I only had to pay 30 for the 1st series on DVD, legit too, now THATS a good deal.

I had them and could have given them to you a month ago, but recently God has convicted my heart that I can no longer pirate any music or software. This includes hard to find mp3's like those from Big O. Sorry Faith.

Kite, check out http://www.ningyoushi.com/anime/bigo/onecoinseries.htm This is where I ordered mine, but I'll warn you that what you get is random and honestly not worth the price for how small it is, though it is a cool little doo-dad.

Usso-M, if ya wanna give it a try, type up a review and have the mods look over it. My thoughts of writing one have gone south for now since my computer is refusing to work correctly (*is at the library*).

Reliant K 09, not only, saddly, did they not get their memories back, but they MAY have even less memories, or rather, equal to whatever they had in Episode One? *Is this too spoiler-ish? If so, I'll edit*

And I understand what you're saying, Kevin, I felt the same conviction too and erased about 200-300 MP3s off my laptop. Thankfully enough, though, my Season One OST has arrived in the mail a week or two ago, so the sounds of Big O can be heard in the streets as I drive around. ^_^
