...nice that they are pimping the fact this is their doing. "An Adult Swim Action Original"...
...not to mention, I think this is about the earliest they've EVER advertised an anime...

Big O Season 2 premiers in 6 days, the first Lupin promo was 7 days early(at least).

Plus, I saw Beck in it, so I know he comes back.
Even though I know he's (kinda) in episode 14.

In the scene where Dorothy shouts, "Roger!" you can see him in the corner as the camera pans back.
He's pretty easy to spot, since he's wearing yellow in a city of black. Plus, since he's my favorite character in this series besides Roger and Dastun, I notice him easily.

Nah, he just crushed the Beck Victory Special's head. He didn't hurt Beck or his goons, it's not his style. Plus, without Beck, it would have been harder for him to clear his name in that ep.

Yeah, I realize it's not really his style, but... the way it was done, it SEEMED like they were killed. You have Big O crushing Beck Victory Deluxe's head, Beck and his goons screaming... then cut immediately to Dastun crushing a paper cup.
Then with the way they looked after Roger dropped the remains of the head before Dastun... They just really LOOKED dead. So for two years I've been thinking that they WERE dead. ^^;;

I might be wrong, but I don't think a Lupin promo aired until the night before its premiere. :shrug:

Can't agree more. That was very shocking to see :D And I love the new MegaDeus designs, from what we saw. I just hope they keep this as all the footage they show us, I'd prefer to know as little as possible about the next 13 episodes (although I heard something about the final episode that might have spoiled the whole thing for me, I hope I heard wrong).

Eh, not the first time WS has done that.
Besides, if you're talking about
Rosewater in the Megadeus
while that is a spoiler, it really makes me even more anxious to see the show. I wanna know how it happens.
And if that's not the spoiler you're referring to, then for the love of God, don't tell us what it really was. :p

Well, as long as no one points it out, it won't matter for awhile, right? Anyway, there's a German Woman in there somewhere (at least I think the voice had a German accent), and that's good enough for me.
BTW, I feel really, really sorry for Dastun. "Another Megadeuce? Why do they keep coming?!" I fell your pain, Dan.

Holy Crap.
Watching that promo (and not knowing it was going to be shown, so it was a nice surprise), I had great flashbacks to Toonami's finer promos. Remember that awesome 2-minute Gundam Wing ad? I was totally getting the same vibe. And it's been a long time since I've been that excited by a promo. Really excellent stuff, if a bit too spoiler-tastic.
Random Comments:
-I'm sure they chose the nicer animation to showcase, but still, I was VERY impressed by the quality. What I saw looked considerably better than Season 1. Somebody give me a good reason why Justice League can't look this nice...
-The Megadeus designs look fabulous. Each and every one seemed to be of Big-Duo quality. That's saying something.
-Looks like some bad stuff's about to go down.

Yes I can confirm that the animation quality has taken a pretty drastic jump in quality this season (saw clips at anime intro.com.) Very, very good stuff awaiting us in the eye candy department.
Oh and yes Cartoon Network can still make really, really, cool trailers.

Yeah you gotta wonder why Rosewater allows the Big-O to continue fighting when he knows Rodger is insde. He could easily stop him, I'm thinking maybe he's so powerful that he doesn't care, or he's actually manipulating Rodger to achieve his great goals.
Oh by the way any theories on why the overal quality of the shows artwork and animation seem to have taken a jump? Is it because someone as big as Cartoon Network is putting money into it?

I might be wrong, but I don't think a Lupin promo aired until the night before its premiere. :shrug:
I believe the first promo for Lupin the III was the SVES (or Batman Bumper Action Block or whatever it was called..) 9 days before its premiere on the first night of Adult Swim Weeknights.

I had to set my VCR to tape Big O because my eyes refused to stay open even when I said Hiei-ish things to them and when I woke up at about 5:30 I started watching R.D. When the commercials came on I just presses the fast forward button and noticed a very quick picture of Big and stuffs going by and it took a second to sink in. However when I stooped and rewound I nearly started drooling at this. I haven't seen a promo this good from CN for so long.
And here I thought they weren't going to be hyping this coming Sunday those sly dogs :D . I guess it wouldn't have been a good idea not to considering their investment in it. But along the lines of the promo! I can get used to the digital paint just as long as the music and plot are just as good as they were in the first 13 episodes. However this makes Sunday so hard to wait for, I love it and curse it at the same time. It's like reliving the last 2 years in a week!
I saw the first four eps at AX and oh man episode 14 is going to make you all crazy. It's the kind of weird only the writer of Lain could come up with. Oh and don't get too excited about Beck coming back...
That shot of him is from a dream sequence.

Much like "R.D." that commercial rocked...THE EXTREME. I don't mean "Extreme" like Roger was suddenly snowboarding and Dastun had his hat on backwards or crap like that. No, no, I mean...THE EXTREME...which is different. How so? Well, it's uhh...more capitalized and is...THE EXTREME.

Twage, are you sure? Because...
Beck and Dorothy DO have such a rooftop scene in episode #26, "The Show Must Go On". I haven't seen #14 yet, so I guess it could a premonition of Roger's.

I think what it is, is that it's you can make a better looking show (if you don't fowl it up) with the new digital paint techniques for the same price as cel. Additionally, I'd bet Cartoon Network had the sense to spare no expense, especially since that if it does well, they can pick up the option for another 26 and get even more milage out of the franchise.
Alex Rosewater looks like he's going to assume a Lex Luthor type villany in the new eps.
And Beck, again. When will he learn?

Oh..... and the Toonami Promo was still better. :D
Agreed. The only promos on Cartoon Network to even come close to Toonami's :90 Big O promo were Gundam Wing's & Tenchi Muyo!'s 2 minute promos.

I could have sworn one of those Bigs looked like Angel's. Just the design or something caught my eye.
And just out of curiosity, how have some of you seen Season 2? Fansubs or something?

I don't know if I like the digital look of the show. With it, it loses some of its slickness, even though I'm dying to know the rest of the story. I guess I'm just trying desperately to find some flaw in the face of greatness.
I've been waiting two years for this. Sunday seems so far away...

That commercial has me literally counting down the hours to Sunday. It looks so good even though the animation is now all digital. It's all so fluid and bright it left me breathless. All the Megadeii looked great and Big Duo looks downright nasty; let's see a Gundam take that thing on! The voice acting seemed spot on as well.
Actually, yes, they should be excited. Beck fans are going to quite enjoy episode 18. ;)
Why should I not be suprised Beck would star in an episode titled "The Greatest Villian"? ;)

I HATE it when I know theirs a spoiler somewhere within easy reach, it's hard to resist. I was on the episode summeries when I forced myself to close the window. They need a 12 step program for these things!
Oh and the clip that's on ASU isn't the same one I saw that was on durring Big O. Or maybe I'm just going crazy.. but still, the clip I found their is great too!
"An Adult Swim Action Origional" Something about that just makes it sound goood to me.

Big Duo is bad-ass an all, but Gundam Altron could wipe the floor with it in less than a minute. And then there's Wing Zero's Buster Rifle.
Sorry, I'm a Gundam nut and Altron is my favorite Gundam ever.

Compared to the long 2 years of waiting from that cliffhanger, I wouldn't nitpick about such small details. That fact that Big O will continue is more than enough for me. Who cares if it's digital now?
Geez, everything's all digital now. It doesn't look as stylish as Season 1 did. Oh well.
2 years of technology has past. Style is evolving itself through computer technology. Try thinking of it that way.

One small note:
We all knew it was going to happen, but Kyle Pope did all the work to prove it.
The first season of Big O was completely unedited on Adult Swim. (http://animenewsnetwork.com/columns/edit-list.php?id=196)
I guess that card saying "Unedited...for the most part anyway" didn't really mean anything.
Animation Otaku

Maybe they were refering to the theme song playing in the first two episodes or the butchering of the word 'Megadeus'.

no eyecatches because if I recall correctly, it simplely ran through as 25 minute chunk on satalite.
If you're right, I really wonder how Beck survived. The dream sequence (at least that's what i thought it was, but you never can tell with Konaka) is from ep 13. We shall seeeee... I for one am going to watch and not spoil.
Here's to a happy second (and hopefully third) season!
