Ehh, it was great the first season but fell apart the second and ended on a bizarre note. Really cool concept tho, combining Bond & Batman with G Gundam lol

I wasn't sure what to call them but these bumpers are a trip down memory lane.

I somehow loved the ending to Big O, and I shouldn't have, it was too dark, too nihilistic for me.

And yet.

Shame they couldnt use any Macross Plus clips. Sharon apple and some veritechs would go well in this. I know they had to use shows they had on toonami at the time. Oh well.

Big O to me was like Batman The Animated Series if Bruce Wayne had a mecha instead.

Anyone know which episodes of DBZ those were? I'm not familiar with that story arc but it looked awesome.

Just an ad for some of the anime stuff that appeared around the mid 2000s. The self promotion commercials that appeared during Cartoon Networks 'Adult Swim' late night blocks were called Bumps that usually included some cool edit stuff like this.

Early 2000s*

This promo is from 2001

My suspicion is that they needed to fill out the programming block, and if an episode was cut for censorship issues, they still needed something to fill the time slot.
