[The Big O] What went wrong, I wonder?

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Um… this… flash………

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx43

The moment I heard it, I thought, “Oh, this is no good.”

It was no good after all.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

I understand it’s a parody, but that’s just going too far.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Hmm, first of all, it’s about the music.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Since it didn’t work out, I’m going to make the second season a mysterious flying saucer UFO!

It didn’t work again!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

>>6

Learn!!

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

>>7

Personally, I think this one is more similar…!

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

It seems that the song in the thread image has granted rights to Brian May, but is that still the case?

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

In the stream, it’s turned into “The Show Must Go On.”

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>14

I’m sorry, this is Kinks…

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I don’t like that—it’s respect, you know, respect.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

The people who made it are probably able to laugh, but…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was something that passed by so clearly that it couldn’t be deceived.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

The third one also has a high degree of being out of bounds, and there is no sign of remorse.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I don’t know, but at least the song has been changed.

>>12

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Never learn from mistakes, never feel remorse.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The third one is also All of the Night…

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s Brian’s son’s fault for watching Big O.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>18

It’s also Brian May’s fault for watching it together while eating breakfast.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

cast in the name of god. ye, not guilty

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was holding back on composing, but since you said to make it more similar…

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

I was told to make it more similar, to the point where you can’t distinguish between them…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

>>192

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Double or triple is not allowed.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has become as if RESPECT never existed.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Those who really feel that the song itself is no good…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been told a lot about the music, but was the video okay?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

It’s just kind of like Ultra Seven…

I wonder why there are so few silhouette materials.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

I don’t think Tsuburaya Productions said anything in particular.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

The composer of the background music in the play is too good at being mischievous, and all of these guys are villains.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>27

If anything, the production is full of stolen elements from special effects!!

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

Even someone like me, who isn’t very knowledgeable, thought this pose was that Ultra thing… so for someone with a bit of knowledge, it must be a storm of “this is ○○…”

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The level of respect that makes Anno-kun’s parody seem modest.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of visuals, the enemy robots and monsters, as well as the effects, are pretty much covered in “out.”

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Brian May loves X Bomber so much that he even made a theme song for it.

I should have just asked directly.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>35

Rather, it was precisely because of that disposition that they kindly took the time to do it manually.

This is a Queen song!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Mega Deus from episode 1, this is Baltan…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

THE GREAT

It’s great, isn’t it G?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let Freddie sing instead.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Meteor! Dynamite!

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

From the very beginning, when I heard the footsteps of Big O, I thought, “Is this a special effects homage?”

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though I properly named it “Respect”…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Big O was broadcast in England…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Many people often say various robots are Evangelion followers, but in a way, the robot anime that is closest to Eva is…

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>44

Later on, Eva ended up getting closer to an ending like Big O!

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>46

(A set of sliding buildings)

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Queen doesn’t work, how about The Kinks?

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I can hear it even though I didn’t say “Flash!”…

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I saw this in Ultraman… and I saw the same technique in Big O.

I saw this in Big O… and now I’m seeing it in Shin Ultraman as well.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Footsteps and Chrome Buster, and there’s also Ultraman, but at the root of it all, it’s Red Baron, right?

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>53

Ultraman was outpaced by Eva…

Well, there’s a tendency to feel like we have to do everything else…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There is also an Eightman parody.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it hadn’t hit in America, it probably wouldn’t have been discovered.

In other words, America is to blame.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

A town that has lost all its previous memories.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the military police cars that are dragon wagons.

Why…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Credits increasing even though I didn’t compose anything after the dispute…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>Show Must Go On

Don’t make excuses while parodying the title.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

An inexplicable disc-shaped UFO with no excuses.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

The OP of Mazinkaiser is also quite good.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it has become official QUEEN, it might actually be safe after going around once.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are battles in lakes, rivers, and the sea, though.

When you observe it, you’ll be surprised at how much of a special effects pool it is.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like BGM that feels like it’s from The Twilight Zone.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really love the animation where the surface of the pool is rippling in the close-up while hitting Dorothy 1, but since not many people get it, I’m okay with it being my own personal favorite scene.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is your head a wild challenger?

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>70

When it comes to Big O, it’s the Wild Challenger before it starts!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few songs that are safe just because the original creator hasn’t noticed, which could be called theft… or homage.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

There used to be things like Beatmania, but there are a lot of songs and materials that can’t be said to be free of sampling…

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

The Wednesday song, when you look at the explanation of its sampling source, is quite… lacking in principles.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

As long as it doesn’t get found out by people, even Original and Denki Groove said so.

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

It was found out.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shut up already.

I respect you!

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

No, it’s because it’s the TV size that it only sounds like Queen, but if you listen to the full version…

You’re using a phrase that you completely copied!!!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems they are composing within a line that cannot be sued, so RESPECT.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard the original source after knowing this first, and I thought, “I see…”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way the first season ended feels too much like Post-Evangelion, showing no intention of making a sequel.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

I have to make the continuation…

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It may be hidden by OP’s exuberance, but “Show must go on!” is also quite a bit!

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

“??? ‘I think Queen is grateful for the respect shown in the anime opening.'”

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

This exaggerated brake sound!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The title is direct.

The song is straightforward.

Shut up and cut it out already, seriously.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay, it’s okay. There are people involved in the script who have worked on Ultraman, so they’ll forgive us.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Make a song that feels flashy!

Alright, let’s go!

I made a song like Flash!

Adopted!

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>83

To be precise, it’s like after a moment of holding back this much, it turns into “Do more, do more!” so it’s even worse.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>83

I resemble too closely…

Make it more similar! It will also fit in.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

A parody of QUEEN, something like Inu-Oh would be nice too.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doing the Bohemian Rhapsody is also a high point.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shomasugon! Wimasugoon!

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Isn’t this my song? It’s quite generous of you to forgive me for that.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think they forced us to make a second season, so we intentionally made the opening similar as a form of retaliation.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

This is the opening theme of the first season…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

It doesn’t matter! Everything in this anime is a bad parody!

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>95

But the atmosphere is the best, you know.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>96

It’s not just a simple copy because of the skillful way the atmosphere is gathered and the modern directorial arrangements that make it look appealing.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

After replacement

I just heard the original material for the first time, but it’s pretty much… out there!

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You’re being annoying, asking me to get closer…

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was something special since it was replaced with an opening I’ve never heard of, like a selection of masterpieces that was recently released on YouTube.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

The first one is out because I got scolded.

The second and third are safe.

ED is a masterpiece.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Giri sout!

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Hey, that technique just now was Electra-Gear.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Flash!! Aaaah!!!

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

It’s a collection of parody elements, but the overall style is serious and stylish, so damn it!!

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The soundtrack and content are all parodies, but the atmosphere is nice, so it’s somehow forgiven.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s short, it’s still safe, but if it’s full, it’s quite like Bohemian Rhapsody.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The guitar riff is too bad…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

It’s too on point.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

The recreation of 90s American anime flavor and old American drama flavor is just too well done…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a miracle that, although it can be said to be composed solely of parodies, it has created a unique worldview and atmosphere.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Isn’t this a copy of that movie or that drama?” I was told by the lead actor.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Naruhodo is the only one who is completely wrongfully accused, and it’s perfect as a twist.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

“?! ‘I’ll forgive you because my son is a fan…'”

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

In a world without past memories, the only way to sustain it is to imitate existing things, so it’s really convincing to be filled with parodies.

Get scolded.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>112

I was scolded!

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how metafiction was perceived back then.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it seems there was no argument, and yes, that’s correct… I guess it was good to bow down like that…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

But now… a one in a million chance?

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

From the perspective of a composer, it feels like the ultimate high to be recognized as an admired figure and to essentially be involved in a collaborative creation.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>118

Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>124

Don’t you think it’s presumptuous…?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s full of stuff that’s way too similar to the BGM of OVAs from the 90s and 2000s, and it’s just not acceptable.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was fortunate that Queen and Mei were lenient towards Japan.

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

The work is terribly well-made for no reason.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You have nothing but sin.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

I’m drowning in a sea of cables…

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

“I’m sinking while saying I still haven’t copied enough!”

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s terrible how they’re stealing without any shame…

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s already determined that something is wrong if we’re in the middle of a trial!

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

Unconditional surrender

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Someone who has no regrets.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>134

Generally, it remains the same up to the direction.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

What’s terrible is that the name of the song that was ultimately scrapped for the second season’s opening is “RESPECT”…

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the top of the British rock scene, Zep, was involved in lawsuits over old blues numbers they pretty much completely copied…

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was an excellent negotiator, so it did not reach trial.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

This is the side that gets negotiated!

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

The awareness is too low.

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>141

Rather, it can be said that it became one of Brian May’s songs due to being overly high-minded.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before the second period is created and becomes unacceptable, it flows in Super Robot Wars D.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

It’s a shame that it’s halfway done because it’s created during a limited period.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roger Smith was there, right?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the main theme BGM also Godzilla? There are various songs that sound like Battleship, right?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

A work made entirely of plagiarism.

154: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>148

Well then, I’ll stop!

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Roger Naruhodo-kun before he lost his memory?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

If fans are going to freely imagine, including the meta aspects, then…

It might be possible to think that Roger and Naruhodo-kun were the same actor.

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Make something that feels like Eva?

So it means we should just cram in special effects parodies that only hardcore fans will enjoy!!

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

A work that feels like Eva? It’s Raideen, right!? Just like RahXephon.

Don’t grasp the essence in a weird way.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

The main story progresses with profound mysteries and dialogue, and since the protagonist risks losing control by failing at communication while fighting in a mysterious robot, it’s pretty much Evangelion.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>160

When you say that, it makes Roger, or rather Angel, seem closer to Shinji-kun.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

The first thing that comes to mind is Argent Soma.

The reality is different though.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

Argento Soma also has quite a few subtle, somewhat obscure references like Anderson puppet theater…

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

In some interview, the director said, “Since Eva was heavily parodied in the 1970s, we thoroughly incorporated the 1960s here,” which is such a strong and deliberate statement, isn’t it?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Toshihiko Tahara sang a song that was a total copy of Queen…

By the way, when Roger and John appeared on a Japanese TV show, they were made to listen to a song that sounds similar.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s a good choice of material that would also appeal to foreigners, huh?

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit of a copy, but I’m doing it because I like it, and it’s filled with a spirit of respect.

There’s no way that’s allowed.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow there are many enemy robots in a pose with their shoulders oddly spread, elbows bent, and both hands raised.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I get scolded, it’s fine to get permission afterward…

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>157

There’s no way that would work on the Queen of the world…

I passed…

162: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>159

Can we say that the entire transfer of rights has been accepted?

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>162

I’m sorry… I haven’t been there…

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

My song has become QUEEN…!

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>166

I did it!

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

I can’t help you with that.

In the sense that the original house received the creative work.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

Did you just copy it?!

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>173

Sockri-san, make!

I was told that composing for RESPECT is good…

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>177

Just because it’s a backing company doesn’t mean you can blatantly copy everything~

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

I became a composer of Queen’s songs!!

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>174

The credit for Big O lists Brian May, so isn’t it the opposite?

189: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>188

The Big O played on NHK’s Queen special.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really a joke that the talk is unnecessarily interesting and the sudden impact is cool, but the song is just a complete rip-off.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

The pose of the Arc Line and the O Thunder that fires continuously from the wrist… there was a source of homage, though.

The one where you dig in your fist with a punch and then create a zero-distance shockwave with an elbow piston to explode is definitely original, right?

(I think it’s a variation of the pile bunker and arm punch.)

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ll forgive it since it’s a QUEEN song, but that’s also the result of various miracles and kindness…

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>167

I wonder if it would have been unforgivable if my son said he disliked this work…

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>196

“The pattern of ‘we’re giving joint credit because the phrases overlap’ is quite common in Western music.”

I think it was a big factor that Brian May’s son was a fan of Big O, which helped me get away with being found out to that extent.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

I already let it go in Super Robot Wars D, so it can’t be helped.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

The UFO has been replaced, so it’s definitely not passing through!

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are sexy female agents and cute girl-type androids, so there are no gaps.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, the story is more interesting than Evangelion.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that the first and second ones were replaced paradoxically means that the third one is safe.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like Chiaki Nakajima.

178: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>176

Of course!

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only part that involves the protagonist being an adult with a professional attitude towards work is

I think it was written in the booklet attached to the DVD that it was competing with Evangelion.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, every time I replace it, it starts to look more and more similar.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s what freedom is all about.

185: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I thought the character design and coloring was like the Batman from the Western animation that used to air a long time ago.

(Except for the giant mech part)

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to something that feels like Eva, wowow anime refers to things like Parare Lunlun Story and Audion.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

Batman is included too, right?

191: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

respect(respect)

192: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>191

ye guilty

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tsuku

Plagiarism is fine!

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

The design is truly original, isn’t it?

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>197

What was it called, Robot Detective…?

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the footage was understandably not allowed, it has since become a collage of the main film’s scenes.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I found out that the launch of the Chrome Buster was exactly like an Electrigger, I couldn’t help but laugh.

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

This Beck the Great RX3 is extremely original.

207: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>204

The mystery of the East is nice, isn’t it?

205: Japan Otaku Reviews

No song would be acceptable.

206: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are many Ishimori homages, so this is a character design inspired by Jiro Kuwata!
