Even without the events of 40 years ago, I think man would still be a creature that fears the dark. He doesn't face that fear, he averts his eyes from it and acts as if he doesn't have any memories of his past. But, 40 years is both a short time and yet, a long time. Man's fear has withered. And even time itself tries to wither the desire to know the truth. Is it a crime to try and learn the truth? Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear. My purpose in this world is knowledge, and the dissemination of it. And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labor to the entire world. Fear... It is something vital to us puny creatures. The instant man stop fearing is the instant the species reaches a dead end, only to sink to pitable lows, only to sit and wait apathetically for extinction. Humans who lose the ability to think become creatures whose existence has no value. Wake up! Don't be afraid of knowledge! Think, you humans who are split into two worlds, unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion, you must think! Signed, Schwarzwald.
>>284741670ALLEGIANCE OR DEATH!BIG FIRE!
>>284741670>>284742908That sums up the show.
>>284741670wait a goddamn minute, did Big O foreshadow Hush?!
>>284741670Happy heavens day!
>>284746116No,Big O had good writing for atleast half of itselfHush just had looksBoth of them took the look from invisible man or darkman if you want to be pedantic about itMy question is what the fuck they did to schwarzwald for him to end up with bent cone for a skull
Big-O is a very xmas anime
>>284747408I don't think his skull was actually that shape, he just wrapped that many manages around his head that it came out weird. like maybe a chunk of his skull was shattered and he just put all the extra bandages on that side for padding.the doylist answer is that he was designed to look like a knife or scalpel, someone whose sole purpose was to literally cut to the truth of the matter
>>284748334Yeah for like one episode.
>>284750368That's all you need.
>>284751940that's a bit pretentious innit. you wouldn't call something a halloween anime just because they had one haunted house/7 mysteries episode
>>284742908I really hope giant robo is in the next SRW Y dlc.
>>284741670>The instant man stop fearing is the instant the species reaches a dead end, only to sink to pitable lows, only to sit and wait apathetically for extinction. Humans who lose the ability to think become creatures whose existence has no value.Literally predicted 2020
>>284741670I keep seeing people compare him to the Jester because of his bombastic personality and his "we live in a society" speeches but I always thought he was more inspired by Rorschach than anything.
>>284753268He's not really inspired anyone from western works, if anything he bears more to resemblance to ryoma in armageddon.
>>284753416also picrel in the Giant Robo OVA, as far as his backstory and pre-mangling self goes
>>284753580The series supervisor worked on giant robo as an animation director.
>>284752810Sadly Yokoyama's works got into some copyright pastapazoo after his death making licensing them extremely costly. I'd love to get it to come back to the series though, and perhaps crossover with Imagawa's Tetsujin 28go since Murasame is in both.>>284753268>>284753416I think he's based on The Question, who Rorschach is also based on.
>>284754503I'm pretty sure bandai can pull some strings.
>>284755112I just watched this yesterday.
>>284756357Good for you.
>>284759506>Congratulations!
>>284741670Dorothy owes me sex.
>>284756357Nice.
Happy Heaven's Day!
>>284741670He did nothing wrong
>>284768983He found a giant robot that he could pilot and he challenged the other guy with a giant robot to a fight in the middle of the city just because.
NOTHING WRONG
This show had such a bullshit cop-out ending it ruined the whole thing.
>>284773012The show must go on
>>284773862>the show must go on>doesn't go onBravo konaka.
>>284773012>>284773862thank Tim and Eric
>>284775837Tim and Eric had nothing to do with it.
>>284773012They wanted to keep going but there was noone to fund it.
