I wonder how the subway can remain usable if the Big O crushes its floor or ceiling every time :)

It wasn't as good as those first 2 episodes but it was still a pretty enjoyable episode.

Big O reminds me a lot of Cowboy Bebop. Not just because of Steven Blum and Wendee Lee, the music as well. The line at the end is like Cowboy Bebop, too. Both were made by Sunrise Inc., but I can't see any of the same staff.

Angel? More like the Dark Angel if you ask me.

Interesting yet less interesting than the past two! I still like where this is going though.

The OP reminds me of the opening song of Flash Gordon!

I wish I could be woken up every morning by a pretty woman playing the piano...

Very Bebop and Batman-esque so far. Maybe it's because of those influences (that I absolutely love) that the robot/mech elements of the series aren't really doing it for me so far. Bruce Wayne in a stylish as fuck car/tank? Sure, I can go with it. Evangelion-esque robot? Just seems a bit shoehorned in there maybe. I don't know. Still lovin' the show so far.

Finally the OP!

Though this seems confusing.

It seems the English version had a different OP? I'm watching in original Japanese and this is the OP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyM5hbbBhRY

Yet the video stated this as the 2nd OP.

Casey so sexy!!!! Whenever Norman lets guest in without letting Roger know. You know it's a young woman XD

Despite Roger being brash, he is still respectful towards the elders and willing to help them.

Really love Big O fight scenes!!! So it seems this Anime combines monsters and robots pretty convincingly.

Dorothy's Piano!! She's pretty good. I don't mind having that skill, even if it meant imitating humans.

Can't wait for more Dorothy action though! Maybe we'll get Casey back as well!

Angel kinda reminded of Fujiko with her attitude.

Loved the bit at the end with Dorothy moving around trying to make her performance more "human" and then doing her pokerface again xD

If Roger knew the guy behind him was planning to ambush him from behind and hit him with the stock of the gun, why just stand there and let them do it? Those attacks only work if someone is unaware, otherwise you're better of threatening them with firing it. The plot of this episode is a bit frenetic compared to the last two.

That aside, the "god" monster-eel here had amazing visual presentation.

Finally the intro. Really slamawayin these keys. It was a way to get him out of bed bed. She was playing complicated piano. He claims her art doesn’t work because she is a robot. Mildly Vistrian flooring. She is with the paradigm group. Electric city. The whole city hates him. He ain’t no atheist, but he also ain’t naïve. They expect me to believe there is a god here that gives off electricity when it’s angry. It’s connected underground. He slugs him from behind right after he says that he doesn’t like that happening. And it looks good to eat. The floor is hollow. A mysterious broken lab. No ordinary facility. A whale of a whale. He opens with a comment on her body. Call her Angel. Welp a fallen angel. Something is in the water. A creature. A beast of lightning. He calls in his robot. Even all the way out here the underground disconnected. Its almighty power is man-made. It begins to eat him. He can’t fire his chrome, buster. He uses the head laser. The legend was true. It was a titan, and this is the city in its true form. He destroyed the power plant after the threat was gone. A man-made titan that gives off electricity. Hope there will be more Titans. She even gets her body moving to the rhythm, but not her face. Even she sometimes feels like playing the blues. 5

So far I've heard Spike and Faye, I wonder how many of the Bebop cast will show up in this dub. Given the time it came out, I wouldn't be surprised if all of them did. It's interesting to travel outside to another city, I really didn't expect the show to ever leave Paradigm. Love the kaiju battle. The pacing felt a bit quick for this episode, I think it could have used two-parts to flesh the story out more.
