Let the mind fucking begin.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Big Venus?

 

[Azure J]

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTT

 

[ThatObviousUser]

"Big Venus, a bird whose wings have been plucked."

"And turned into the beast it was before it evolved into a bird."

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So yeah...

 

[Man God]

negotiating!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

"A bird who's wings have been plucked"

Angel is a megaduece who erases time. The stage resets every 40 years! It's making sense.

 

[Amikami]

Um...so...WOW

 

[Levyne]

Final negotiation

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's negotiating time!

Nothing is real.

That's certainly one interpretation. I don't hold it, though.

 

[TheChits]

So much good music on toonami tonight

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

The U that wants my D

 

[foxuzamaki]

Go away angel is RogerXDorothy time

 

[redmetal86]

Epic speech. And then we pull a Mighty Max.

[Gucci Messiah]

The music. The speech. The visuals. The fact that it's all finally clicking. This is one of the best anime related experiences of my life.

she's the command unit and is a real person. Big Venus eats memories and restarts the world matrix style and has done so at least once before.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

"Roger, the negotiator."

We have come to terms.

 

[Raxus]

And we close out on one last WTF?!?

 

[Seda]

"Big O will be back next week"

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Go away angel is RogerXDorothy time

Nah man threesome

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Woah it all starts over again.

 

[lazybones18]

Best music to end the show

 

[foxuzamaki]

we got some minds blown tonight

 

[MetatronM]

In the Japanese Big O art book, Big Venus is listed as "Venus/Lucifer."

 

[Man God]

notice the sun was out and the domes weren't there...

 

[BassForever]

I don't understand

 

[Schadenfreude]

We have come to terms. See you later, negotiator. Time for FMA Brotherhood.

 

[SousedLouse]

The ending makes me tear up a little every time. I just wish the show could restart from episode one, so that you get the full comparison between beginning and end.

It's funny how I got this the first time I saw that ending but seeing it in text makes me fully understand it.

 

[MetatronM]

notice the sun was out and the domes weren't there...

Angel and Dorothy were also in the scene (in a different art style) when they weren't in the original.

 

[Levyne]

I love endings like that.

 

[Amikami]

So, was that supposed to be the beginning of the series again? Oh man, my brain.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

 

[ThatObviousUser]

In the Japanese Big O art book, Big Venus is listed as "Venus/Lucifer."

The inverted version certainly looks evil.

 

[Jintor]

Man i'm glad I managed to avoid most of that. Still haven't seen season one lol

http://bigo.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Venus

Big Venus appears briefly in "The Show Must Go On" after Angel realizes her role in Paradigm City and transforms into the megadeus. Venus' design is almost identical to Big O, with the exception of a redesigned, albeit similar, face featuring a rictus grin, and a pair of wings it is shown to have in a flashback to the Event. When it appears in the present day, it appears with inverted colors and its wings are removed. Big Venus apparently has the power to alter people's memories and even reality itself and is responsible for erasing the memories of all of Paradigm's citizens 40 years ago. It would have done so again but Roger confronts Big Venus this time, which begins erasing everything simply by walking past it until only the 2 Bigs remain. Roger uses his skills as the Negotiator to convince Angel to let people keep their memories, as Big Venus slowly approaches. Big O and Big Venus then walk into and pass through one another, and Roger is able to confront Angel as the Director. Big Venus may be the command version of the Big models, as it is seen overseeing the Big-type megadeus rampage in flashbacks of the Event.

The name "Venus" alludes to the "morning star" and the fallen angel of Christian mythology, Lucifer.

 

[mightynine]

The responses in the thread are helping me understand, but I'm still gonna need to watch that again.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Goodnight folks. Later ToonamiGaf and See you Space Cowboy!

 

[Raxus]

I love this opening...and butchered.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Well gotta get some sleep. Been a crazy night, and next week we have new beginnings. See yah.

 

[Man God]

this is how he'd recap when he was still a man.

 

[Amikami]

Yep, gunna have to watch all of season 1 and then 2 again. Night guys.

 

[Seda]

Not going to claim I understood everything, but I yes I really love endings like that.

Pride time

 

[Doctor Decimate]

still not terribly sure why everything in Big O is presented as a stage
