I remember "The Big O", but don't think I watched it. Did you ever watch this crazy cartoon, "Mega XLR" or something like that. It was about a giant alien mecha that crashes to Earth. This slacker mechanic dude works on it ,and can only get it working by literally grafting a *car* onto the top of the mecha! Aliens bent on conquering Earth soon show up and start a constant battle with him. It was hilarious to watch the dude and his friends jump into a car, and him fighting giant mecha battles while fiddling with a steering wheel, gears, and gas pedal!

A happier ending would have felt cheap. Keith, The Big O was a giant robot anime that was shown on Cartoon Network. It was done by the same animation company that animated Batman: The Animated Series and had a similar style in some ways. I also liked it's ending. I guess I enjoy downbeat endings. BTW I thought Lost's ending was meh. They took the easy way out and it was unsatisfactory. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Omari Confer <clockwork...@...> wrote: > > I honestly loved both ends to Neon Genesis...... > > Sent on the go from my Peek > ------------------------------------- > Martin Baxter<martinbaxt...@...> wrote: > > Mr Worf, while we're in AnimeLand, allow me to toss in Neon Genesis > Evangelion.
