I want to fuck the android
PLOT TWIST! In the story, it's revealed at the end that all of the "humans" in Paradigm City are also androids. Including Roger the Negotiator
Showtime
I thought it was a simulation?
I am not explaining this again, fug it all
What I got was that the only human in the story is the femme fatale (Angel). But it did seem like the story was not originally planned to be this way. For me the mecha designs were the coolest aspect of the whole thing, the plot was a bit too convoluted for my tastes.
Schwartzwald figured out they are all android actors. Notice he always had a half robot looking face when his face was covered you could see his robotic eye. . Then remember what speakeasy guy says at the beginning of the last episode. Roger the wanderer, he for some reason feels that Angel is making him act out a role and he jokes what the next script will be.
And I could point out more things, vut fast forward to the last episode. Roger sinking in the sea, and what does he see, a bright light, a series of “memories”, and what is shown? Multiple Roger Smith androids being mass produced and Roger shouts “No!!” as he begins to realize the truth.
Anyways, yeah. It is a stage Angel seems to be making a novel and in Angel’s world they can setup simulated realities with android things (what Roger and basically everyone in this show was, they just were meant not to know).
When the world is disappearing at the ending, because of big venus aka angel I believe this is because she keeps deleting her progress in her story and wanting to start over, and that is what Roger is there to negotiate for on behalf of old man Rosewater and he pleads with Angel to let them stay the way they are and not erase everything again as she was already actively doing. Best way I can explain it in this comment, anyways enjoy this mega spoiler aka explanation of the story behind the events of this show. Oh and the book itself that “Big O” takes place within is that Metropolis book old man Rosewater was holding.
Her name is R.DOROTHY WAYNERIGHT
You're on point about that. Either Angel had a n android actor in the simulation thing of herself, or she was entering the simulated reality populated by her androids
She was writing a story and kept deleting her progress, that's why there's "similar memories" of Roger Smith in the past, memories Roger himself can't recall ever experiencing, etc.
I watched the first two episodes but it seems too cheesy for me. Does this get any better?
I figure the simulated reality of the city was for Angel to see how her story plays out, for example, and when she didn't like it, she reset it (like how the show almost ended with)
Definitely, from around episode 9-10 forward. It's up to you what episode you start at but I recommend watching it all. It ain't cheesy at all
Most people do.
Schwarzwald doesn't have a mechanical eye, that's a piece of glass over his more damaged eye. The glass breaks and you can see the eye beneath it in Episode 4.
What still bugs me to this day is the significance of the two wounds on her back. It felt like they were only there to justify her name and role in the plot because the wounds looked as if she previously had wings and they were ripped off. I could name a few other things that felt a bit like red herrings, such as the professor guy who created Dorothy-1 and 2.
Nahh
Don't worry though, I plan on making a YouTube channel in the next year or two where I'll be breaking down every single event in the series, and the manga, and putting together all the pieces so people can properly understand that they're all android actors in Angel's simulated reality.
Possibly fragments from Angel's prior iterations of the story she's trying to write? Her book was called Metropolis and she never finished it because every time she got close she's reset the entire story.
It's meant to be confusing in that sense
The wings were probably significant in a prior iteration of the story, but just like Roger making the deal with old man Rosewater, he didnt remember it, and Angel likewise probably was a character in her own story. I plan to break it all down in YouTube videos one day, the best I can
So the whole anime is basically just a hack writer having temper tantrums every time she wrote herself into a corner, pretty much the equivalent of a mangaka getting pissed off and burning the name pages he thinks are irredeemably shit, and because she had become too attached to her characters she thinks she was killing them off for real like actual persons each time, and so she felt like she is a fallen angel lol.
Do you think the writers of the show was influenced by the audience's initial lukewarm reception during the creative process of these later episodes?
Kinda, yea xD
As far as the real-life writers/producers of the show, I'm not too sure, but it's the story they gave us, so we go by what they gave us in the official releases (manga and anime)
Konaka wrote the entire second season by himself (CN have him no budget)
TL;Dr yes
