^ Good show but the ending was BS.

I've only seen the first episode of Evangelion so I can't say anything about the show really. I just wanted to mention that some other giant robot stuff has meaningless Judeo-Christian symbolism too like Xenogears and Xenosaga. (but Xenogears is actually good)

Tiamat you shouldn't even get me started on Xenosaga. I have a friend who was really big on the first and third game (didn't like the second but I forget which mecanic pissed him off) and so I know quite a bit of the story. I haven't played Xenogears but I have heard a lot of good things about it. Xenosaga I just thought was too movie-like where over half of the time you could forget it is even a game so there is no way I could get into it. But from what I hear essentially every important character represented a Biblical character and the final boss of the third game is Nietzsche. The story was so substanceless it is no wonder they had to cut the games down from a series of 7 to only a trilogy because no one in their right mind would wait that long. Oh yeah and the final boss is named Zarathustra......did I mention there were parallels to Nietzsche?

On a tangent, that reminds me I also know the story to .Hack due to friends telling me. I always thought the shows were moronic in that the characters continue to play a game that puts them into freaking comas. I mean they don't even ever try to sue the games company?
Anyway I may try to watch the Voltage Fighter: Gowcaizer anime online sometime just to see if anyone says "NOTHING WINS THE JUSTICE!"

well seeing how the second season didn't answer anything at all I don't see why a 3rd season would. the story was trying hard to seem deep even though it had zero substance. season 1 was much better

Just saying what I've read. I agree though the show didn't exactly help itself get another season.

If The Big O had retained the quality of its first season throughout the second season, and actually finished, I'm certain it would be my favorite anime of all time. Man, 7 years later, and I'm still upset about the second season and subsequent loss of funding.
