"The Big O" is an anime series that blends elements of film noir, mecha, and sci-fi genres into a unique and entertaining package. The series takes place in the fictional city of Paradigm, which is a sort of a futuristic metropolis surrounded by a vast wasteland known as "The Sea of Lost Memory." The main character of the series is Roger Smith, a suave and sophisticated negotiator who is also the pilot of a giant mecha known as "The Big O." Along with his trusty assistant Dorothy, Roger takes on various cases and battles other mecha pilots in order to protect the city of Paradigm and uncover the mysteries of its past. One of the strengths of "The Big O" is its blend of different genres and influences. The series has a distinct film noir aesthetic, with dark, moody visuals and a jazz-influenced soundtrack that helps to set the tone. At the same time, the mecha battles and sci-fi elements keep things exciting and action-packed. Another strength of the series is its characters. Roger is a compelling protagonist, with a mix of charm, intelligence, and a mysterious past that keeps things interesting. Dorothy, his robotic assistant, is also a standout character, with a dry wit and a touch of humanity that makes her surprisingly relatable. The plot of the series can be a bit convoluted at times, with various twists and turns that can be hard to follow. However, the payoff is usually worth it, with satisfying revelations and climactic battles that make the journey worthwhile. Overall, "The Big O: Complete Collection Seasons 1 & 2" is a unique and enjoyable anime series that is worth checking out for fans of mecha, sci-fi, and film noir. Its blend of different genres and influences, along with its memorable characters and exciting action sequences, make it a standout series that is well worth watching.Read full review

Even though this is 2 seasons, this is a good show to binge watch. It has big robots and good moral compass by the lead in this show. Plus if you are a "MATRIX'S fan this show has a hint of that when you see the entire show... It's a good recommended show to watch for Japanize style production.

The Big O is a tragically short series, but it’s unique blend of detective style noir with giant robot action in a future post apocalypse make it an absolute must watch in my opinion.
