I noticed that Big Fau is supposed to be a english soldier of some kind, and Big Duo an airforce guy or some shit, BUT WHAT IS BIG O SUPPOSED TO BE BASED ON???? (design wise)

Go read the interviews retard, they're all based off designs from older series like ultraman and red baron.
>>
>>23514688
They're just super robots with art deco styling.

>>23515128
I don't see it at all

Beck super victory deluxe is literally red baron with gold paint.
>>
>>23514688
Well Venus is Jet Jaguar which in turn was Jack Nicolson.

>BUT WHAT IS BIG O SUPPOSED TO BE BASED ON???? (design wise)

His face is from Robot Detective K, and Red Baron and Giant Robo were influences

The actual Red Baron plane is probably why the German guys Big Duo is a plane.

>>23515128
Tell me what book that's from and I will
>>
>>23521176

I decided to start rewatching the whole show because more than twenty years have passed and Big 0 will return in SRW Y.
The first episodes are so well animated It really hurts to think about how low we've fallen with today's animation. Oh wait, I forgot that it bombed, in Japan.

Could have sworn I read somewhere that Big O's face plate was loosely based on the Statue of Liberty's stern looking face.

I thought it was Robot Detective K but it could be both. Also the phrase 'cast in the name of god ye not guilty' is a released from the inscription Conan the Barbarian's sword from one of the movies.

I want to say the robot girl from Metropolis was inspiration too.

No he meant Jet Jaguar looks like Jack Nicolson lol
>>
>>23521289
Oh I thought you meant the arbook scan you posted explained the inspirations but I just machine translated it nevermind
>>
>>23521584
>>23521612

Red Dorothy might have gotten that name from Red Baron too

>>23518174
I never noticed Venus looks like Jet Jaguar. It's kind of funny both might be in SRWY now.
>>
>>23514688
I think the giant bolts on his helmet could possibly be inspired by Hellboy. The show is full of western influences and it would for with some of the religious themed stuff.
>>
>>23521623
The overall style is inspired by the hellboy comics.
>>
>>23521620
NTA but it's the 25th anniversary negotiation files, there's scans on e hentai. Google translate seems to work well with the kanji.

>robot detective K
That's literally who r. frederick o'reiley is supposed to be.

the drop in coloring and lighting quality in S2 is painful. they lost so much of the high contrast tones and saturated lighting in favor of a bland and washed out look. not to say it doesn't have good moments of animation but reusing clips from S1 only made the gap more noticeable.
still love the writing of S2 and its ending, I don't think I'd like big o as much as I do without it.

Thanks to advances in technology studios can now use AI filters to match the aesthetic of cel shading.
>>
>>23514688
Big O is thematically a steam locomotive.
Big Duo a prop plane.
And Big Fau a 30s era submarine. Its head is literally a conning tower.
