how we can really get a season 3.

[shadowdorothy]

ok first off forget about as entirly for the next few minutes.
pcf and sbo had 1 thing right about getting a 3rd season, send letters. but they were sending them to the wrong people. alright so by now we all know that cartoon network wanted a 3rd season. as do most fans but they could never get enough backing to prove that 1 was needed. so heres where the new plan that will most likely work comes in.
1. instead of sending letters to as harrassing them into a new season we send letters to cn about how much we liked the show and what products we'd like to see(yes i said products) like talking action figures, model kits, trading cards, etc.. the reason for saying products we liked to see is that cn is all about making money and pushing of toys to little kids and adults alike.
2.we get a small petition and send it to the higher ups that own both as and cn.
3 and the most likely to succeed. we get the main voice actress her self to talk to cn. thats right people lee sergant. there are to magizine quotes about how much she loved the show. 1 back in 1999 says "I loved working on the big o, it was so much fun. it was an easy job but it was great. i had so much fun working on this that i really hope they go thru with season 2 they were talking about." the other quote is back in 2003 "i'm so glad that the cn whet thru with season 2. i love getting to act as dorothy again, it's such a fun part. now i really hope they go thru season 3 they have planed. heck i even love to do a season 4."
so from those 2 quotes you can tell how much she really loved working on big o and that they did have a season 3 planed but it never went to production. we most likely succeed with this because lee sergant has worked on a stagering 150 something animes and she like big o the best.
apperantly she has a large fan service and anwsers most of her own fan mail so it might be easier to get in touch with her than cn.

yes i know it's crazy but it might accutally work.

I've never been in support of a third season, so this is probably the only thing I'll be saying in this thread. But one thing did catch my eye.

We... all do? Maybe I've missed something, but every statement I've ever seen has said just the opposite.

They had the option for funding a 3rd season, and the writers of the series also said in a press statement that they had enough material by the end of Season 2 to *make* a Season 3.

I think the plan of attack is wrong... for the first year or two there was a possibility to change CN's minds... however, that time has passed. Success would be more likely in contacting Sunrise (the owners of Big O)... if they see promise in a series, they might just revive it.

[Brooklyn Luckfield]

I was wondering how long it would be before Season 3 threads started popping up. Well CN and AS have pretty much nailed the last nail into the coffin of Big O, but that just means CN won't do it. If Season 3 is a MUST then, contact Sunrise, or Bandai Japan. My honest opinion is that it's just not going to happen personally.

That's where I thought shadow was going ... contacting Sunrise.

Also, who says it has to be on CN or [as].  What about the Anime Network ... not that I get that channel but could that even be a possibility?

[Sharpshooter005]

So its moved from anger to bargaining then? Thats progress

But why go through all that trouble only for it to end up on a channel you don't get?  

I dunno, personally I'm okay with the two seasons we were lucky enough to have.  CN lost interest a long time ago, and it just seems to annoy them and make them more against it if you keep bothering them.

DVDs, anyone?

I don't even see why it'd have to be any channel in the first place. Plenty of anime gets released without ever popping up on the airwaves.

Does that mean depression is next?

SaveBigO had a mail system going for Adult Swin. Actual mail is more likely to affect things than Email or anything else I think, because snail mail has a more personal element to it. Though, it would be better to target higher up executives than just mail Sunrise itself. I don't suppose anyone here is a good Interweb Detective P.I. and can dig around for someone?

Awww. Now I'm already feeling the next stage... I'm so depressed, I can't even finish this po

Does that mean depression is next?

And then, at last, blissful acceptance.

I would dearly love to see a third season of Big O, but it won't be easy.  Both the petition and letter-writing campaigns are excellent ideas but both are a lot of work.  We'd need at least 10,000 signatures, that's written signatures, not e-mail signatures for either AS or Sunrise to consider a petition seriously.  It is possible, but like every worthy project there needs to be someone willing to take charge and do the work necessary to make sure it gets done.

The thing is, while we'd never have such a count of signatures in the Big O fanbase itself, the fact is that Big O *was* on Adult Swim for a few years, and was fairly popular. Just the majority of the Anime fans who watched it have moved on to other things, and thought it was just finished without a possibility to return. Cons would be our best bet for collecting signatures, but we've never really gotten organized enough to manage such a campaign. I'm definitely planning to do something for Otakon '08, anyways.

accutally sunrise does want to make another big o magna. but its not them we'd have to worry about. its hijema yedate. he prefers drawing cowboy bebop and megaman to big o.

Hajime Yatate isn't an actual person. It's a name Sunrise uses when a whole bunch of people had input on a project.

Hitoshi Ariga is the Big-O manga artist.  I don't think he's done much anything besides that and Megaman.  He didn't do the Cowboy Bebop manga, though.
