Loved it. Big O has always been one of my favorite animes ever, even if the ending was confusing no matter how many times I saw it. The chemistry between the characters was what brought me back every time. I always found the "Love Triangle" between Roger, Dorathy, and Angel entertaining with how it isn't like other animes. All time favorite character from Big O though had to be Schwarzwald. Madman with a purpose.
It's terribly sad. Roger is totally in love with Dorothy. Dorothy, being a robot, cannot love him back. And Angel is in love with Roger and bitterly mocks him for loving a robot.
It's hard to judge an AMV in a language you don't understand. I can only make a vague guess as to whether the lyrics have anything to do with what's on screen. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of random clips with slide animations. The best I can do is relate the beat and music with some of the actions. I'm sure you put a lot of heart and soul into this, but I would have appreciated subtitles.
Eh, I'd've liked subs too, but at least at the time of making this video, there wasn't a translation of the whole song, only the short version version, anywhere and I don't know Japanese. :x
I went by the song's title and the little bits and pieces of the translation I could find/understand. I suppose my main objective was to get the clips to match the tempo and music or something... ^^;
What's with all the love for Dorothy ? She's not super - attractive & can be somewhat unpleasant to anybody not conected with Roger. She's a heroine, but still..... Maybe if she were allowed to develop more social graces over a 3rd season or anime movie.....
You just don't get it, just like people don't get Ghost in the Shell:Innocence. She's a robot inflicted with the memories/soul/essence of the human girl she's based on. Only instead of GitS' robots turning murderous or suicidal out of hating their condition, R. Dorothy Wayneright tries to embrace the admirable portions of humanity. She still experiences humanity in this third person, logical, impersonal perspective but is moved by it anyway.
Actually I rather like the Dorothy character, w / out being an UBER - fan, I just stated that she didn't always seem very agreeable or tactful. Except to people like Roger, Norman, Dastun, etc.
" experiences humanity in the third person " - Kind of like Cmdr. Data of ST: TNG.
How can androids lose memories like humans ? I could understand a magnetic pulse affecting android memories, but human memory wouldn't be like that, as far as I know.
Although I do have something of a weakness for big - breasted bimbos...... hehehehehehheh.......
Her voice actress Lia Sargent, also did the voice of Judy on the " Ponch & Judy " Bounty - Hunters segment on " Cowboy Bebop ". She said she didn't like the Judy character much.
R. Dorothy kind of reminded me of a less cutesy - ootsy version of " Vicky " from the mediocre 80's sitcom " Small Wonder ". & she did kind of make you care about her. Dorothy, that is, not Vicky !!
& I liked the 1940's - 50's film noir aspect of the series. Androids, megadeuses & computers, yet they still use old fashioned rotary - dial telephones.
too bad it didn't win best in editing T-T oh well it was hard to compete with taht death note one..and with all the L and Light publicity over the weekend wow. it's still an amazing vid!
LOVE BIG O!!!!!

& she reminds me - I can't believe I'm saying this - of a more adult version of " Vicky " from the lame - o 80s series " Small Wonder ".
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
I like her for the fact that she's NOT a big-breasted bimbo, or an angsty loner, or an uber-cutesy girl with a squeaky high-pitched voice.
She's just very cool and stylish, and attractive in a slightly geeky kind of way.
