Yes. *nods* I went there.
GOOD FREAKING GOD SCHWARZWALD RETURNS... IN A MOVIE... MADE BY HIMSELF.
This is the kind of plot twist I wish I could just pull off the top of my head. By itself it sounds stupid, but with all the precedents built up in Big O, well... Burt says it best.
Indeed that's what makes Big O great, even if the Manga isn't from the original author/director of the Big O series he captures some crucial aspects of Big O in a diamondesque clarity.
To elaborate on that Schwarzwald resurgence... the movie is made by "M. SEEBACH" about what I can only assume is a B-Movie representation of the Invisible Man only portrayed with Schwarzwald-bandages and cone head (the man is invisible in the poster). This causes EVERYONE in Paradigm City who sees the movie (including Norman and R. Dorothy) to start wearing bandages... over the course of 2 chapters the entire city starts becoming Schwarzwald.
I scanned it on my other computer at home... so over Thanksgiving I can set up a couple of choice scans if people want ((I will not scan the entire book(s). Spend money on them, they are worth it.))
Second example of how AWESOME Lost Memories is... subliminal messaging across Paradigm which is set up in Vol 1 but realized in Vol 2. Additionally the full effect of the Gigadeus encounter on Roger Smith is seen... and it scared me.
