Title: Big O, Vol. 5
Series: Big O #5
Author: Hitoshi Ariga
Rating: 2.5 of 5 Stars
Genre: Manga
Pages: 216
Words: 7K
Synopsis:
We get a chapter about Norman where he shows he's so familiar with firearms that he can fire a machine gun around a whole group of punks and not hit them once. They were in the act of trying to pull a coup but with Norman's “demonstration” on how to use a machine gun, they're to afraid to try. Dorothy also helps out by doing cleaning chores around the house while Norman fixes Big O.
Beck ends up making a HUGE score and becomes so rich that he buys an entire Dome. Of course, he does it through proxies so the Military Police can't touch him. He finds a gigadeus (the equivalent of what a megadeus is to humans) that somehow gives him a LOT of memories. Big O destroys the gigadeus but it is unclear whether Beck is caught or not.
The final chapter of this volume deals with a little girl who apparently can tell people their true pasts. Crowds of people end up driving her into an icy river, where Major Dastun attempts to rescue her. He tells the crowd they killed her and then Big O shows up and takes the girl and Dastun away. The girl is alive and Dastun moralizes on looking to the future and not the past.
My Thoughts:
My goodness, someone put this manga out of its misery, please! I feel like I'm reading this out of duty more than anything. And it is true. If I had just picked up this series without knowing about the anime, I'd have abandoned it after the 2nd volume for sure!
There is nothing of coherence here. Even the art and the battles leave me feeling baffled about what I'm supposed to be seeing or trying to get. The stories are just as bad.
One more volume and then I can ditch this. I might do a Book (un)Haul post on these, as the covers are really good looking.
