Paradigm City is a strange metropolis that seems to be a cross between a Film Noir New York and a City of the Future. Forty years ago, its inhabitants were struck by a mysterious case of amnesia that robbed them of their past and sense of self. Yet life continues on, and the people of Paradigm City have adapted to their new lives without a history.Roger Smith is a "negotiator" living in Paradigm City: part-Private Detective, part-professional go-between, Roger is one of the most trusted and well-paid men in his field. Yet if negotiations break down or a disaster threatens the peace of the city, he has one hell of an ace up his sleeve: the "Big O", a titanic battle robot officially classified as a "megadeus".After forty years, something is causing the secrets buried within Paradigm to break through to the surface. With the aid of an eclectic group of characters, Roger must fight to protect the people of Paradigm against all manner of monstrous threats while pursuing the truth within the city's lost history.The Big O was created by Sunrise and premiered in Japan in October 1999. Though originally planned as a 26-episode series, low viewership in Japan meant that production ceased after only 13 had been completed. The series fared better internationally, however, where it received a very positive reception after airing on Cartoon Network in April 2001. This caught the network's attention and as a result they offered Sunrise and Bandai Visual to join as co-producers on a second season, consisting of the 13 unproduced episodes, which started airing in Japan in January 2003 and in August that year the US.The second season began airing on the revived Toonami block on July 27th of 2013, airing at 3:30 AM and joining the lineup alongside Sword Art Online. Due to its role in funding the anime's revival, Cartoon Network (indefinitely) holds exclusive airing rights to the second season.As of 2013, both seasons of The Big O are licensed in the United States by Sentai Filmworks.The series can be described as a Western radio serial done from the perspective of the Japanese. There is a very Japanese cultural perspective here, in that wherever Roger goes in his investigation of the Monster of the Week, the people he talks to always think it is "a god". Anything strange or inexplicable is attributed to the gods. There's a reason each of the giant robots is explicitly referred to as a "Megadeus". At the same time, strong Western elements like Paradigm City's Art Deco visual style or the characters all dressing in fashion from America of the 1950's and 60's abound. These elements contrast each other heavily and provide an intriguing atmosphere and setup, which comes to fruition as the story shifts from a Monster of the Week format to a much more cerebral story about identity, loss, memory, and love.Now with a Recap Page.Try not to mistake the sixth DVD, "The Big O: Missing Pieces" for Shel Silverstein's book The Missing Piece Meets the Big O.The name actually seems to be one of the many religious references (like "Behemoth" and "Leviathan") that appear in the show, in this case to "Alpha and Omega" - the name of the Greek letter "Omega" (O-Mega) literally means "Big O", in contrast with "Omicron" (O-Micron), which means "little O".

 The Big O / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: There are quite a few nightmarish deaths in this series, but these stand out: R.D. (from the titular episode "RD"), another Dorothy model, has Roger dead to rights with a gun pointed at his face when suddenly Big O smashes through the floor of the subway, carrying her through the air and smashing her against the concrete between the ceiling and the ground above. There's little, if anything, left of her after that. Alan Gabriel suffers this when Big Duo Inferno rejects him as its pilot, impaling him with wires and ultimately smothering him to death before unceremoniously dropping his mummified corpse out of the cockpit as it ascends into the "sky".

Crapsack World: The citizens of Paradigm City are supposedly the last survivors of the human race, living in a post-apocalyptic world where Paradigm is the only known remnant of civilization that still thrives, with no memory of the world or their own history from before the unspecified cataclysm that nearly destroyed Earth; living in what is in its truest form a corporate police state constantly under threat from the megadeuses, the outsiders who seek to eradicate Paradigm, and finally from the executives who control nearly every aspect of life within the city from behind the scenes to serve their own ends.

Wave-Motion Gun The Chrome Buster is Big O's most powerful conventional weapon, firing a sustained beam from the crystal structure on the head. "BIG O! FINAL STAGE!", which makes the Chrome Buster look like a pea shooter. He missed - possibly due to Roger being a Technical Pacifist. Still, even a glancing shot from this weapon completely disintegrates a large portion of Big Fau, and all of the city behind it.

comment
Facepalm of Doom: The eponymous mecha's signature attack (Sudden Impact) can work like this, grabbing an opponent's head and using the pressurized pistons inside the arms to decapitate it. Its power seems to be adjustable. When Roger did this to Beck's Megadeus, it completely separated the head and cockpit from the rest of the body. When he did it earlier against Beck's van, however, the van and its occupants were largely intact and merely shaken up.

After the End: Maybe. All of Paradigm is suffering under amnesia, with allusions made to a war involving Megadei, the people reusing traditions they don't understand (Heaven's Day in place of Christmas), and decaying satellites gradually falling out of orbit. Almost nothing is known about the world outside of Paradigm City. Again though, the Mind Screw ending involving Big Venus leaves it ambiguous about just what the hell the deal with Paradigm City really is.

Intimidation Demonstration: "The Greatest Villain". Before Beck fights Roger Smith he does some fancy maneuvers with a giant boomerang-like weapon his Megadeus created. Roger then shoots him with Big O's Arm Cannon, trashing the whole thing in two seconds flat.

Pile Bunker: Big O has enormous pistons attached to its elbows. They retract to absorb air, then release it in a compressed burst through vents on the wrist. The resulting blast can punch a hole through nearly anything.

Stock Footage
 The Big O / int_4856ac40
comment
Stock Footage Spoofed/homaged in a Combining Mecha's transformation sequence, which fades out exactly as if transitioning to stock footage, despite the fact that it only appears in one episode. Also played completely straight with a variety of car driving scenes that get repeated throughout the series - Roger passes a certain compact no fewer than five times on the highway. Spoofed with episode 18 where Dorothy imitated the driving scenes with a bike. Dorothy's piano playing from episode 6 became this in season two. Made even more obvious due to its older style of coloring, as opposed to the digital coloring of season two.

Trash the Set: By the end of Season 2, the destruction reaches a point where no amount of off-screen repair can fix it. First Central Dome and the heart of Paradigm Corporation thanks to a Union robot and Big Fau run amok. Next, Roger's tower is invaded by a Robot Army. Then, a Union attack force begins bombing Paradigm City. And finally, a literal example when it's revealed that Paradigm is a giant stage complete with spotlights, before it's all deleted and reset.

He covers the one remaining eye of a goddess statue with his eyepatch, picks up a firearm, tells the punks, "THIS is how you use a machine gun," and shoots a perfect outline of the group in the wall behind them. He succeeds in leaving Dorothy speechless and wide-eyed. Then they go home and he makes dinner.

Real Robot: The Megadei, especially the titular Big O, straddle the line between this and Super Robot. While shown to be much bigger than reality would allow, they're all incredibly big, bulky, and slow with the amount of mass they carry. When Big O is knocked over, Roger literally has No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup when it comes to getting back on his feet; the classic Super Robot staple attacks are used sparingly; Big Fau is the only mech to have a Rocket Punch (and firing them means it's permanently lost its hands and arms); and the one time Big O uses 'Final Stage', the chest-mounted Wave-Motion Gun, it has to anchor itself into the ground, and the energy output is so great the weapon destroys itself in the act of firing.

Spirit Advisor Played with in the manga. Schwarzwald makes his first appearance in the manga (post-disfigurement) as what may or may not be a drunken hallucination of Roger's. While he makes a physical appearance piloting Big Duo, Schwarzwald continues appearing to Roger while he pilots Big O, pointing out the parallels between the two of them as far as their attitude towards memories go and even giving him the occasional motivating speech. And in the final chapter, Angel gets one as well...in the form of Beck.

Calling Your Attacks
 The Big O / int_71bd62b9
comment
Calling Your Attacks Roger doesn't normally do this, except for the "Final Stage!" It's appropriately spectacular. Not attacks, but it seems to be a requirement to say "Showtime!" and/or "Action!" to start up a Megadeus. In addition, Roger has to call out "Big O!" to get Big O to transport to his location. The specific words "Big O" and "Showtime" may not be specifically necessary, but Roger's voice is. In fact, this is exploited in an episode when Beck somehow manages to craft an animatronic bust of Roger which is a perfect replica of his face and chest cavity, so that it will have Roger's voice (synthetic vocal chords must sound just like the regular kind); he then sets it on a little automated buggy and has it shout "Big O!" into one of Roger's watches, over and over, so that the robot is too busy chasing the bust to come to the aid of the negotiator. Fortunately, once the buggy falls into the water, Big O stops in its tracks, as with no voice command to follow, it has no reason to move, foiling Beck's plans.

Breather Episode
 The Big O / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode "The Greatest Villain", which comes straight after 2 back-to-back dead serious episodes. "Hydra" is a relative breather episode. While it has several important points such as Roger's memory of being in some sort of war, as well as the re-energization of Big Fau, it comes right after the two-parter of "Stripes" and "The Third Big", which includes Big Fau's first appearance and the revelation of the Union and is followed by what is basically the beginning of the Grand Finale.

comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: In the penultimate episode, a giant robot twenty times bigger than any of the Megadei is introduced and shown on screen for 3 seconds before it gets crushed by a chunk of falling debris, and is never mentioned again. Word of God says that this was the Behemoth, the counterpart to the Leviathan activated by Schwarzwald, that was awakened by Vera and The Union in a final attempt to destroy Paradigm City. This was hinted and foreshadowed a little, but no one is gonna blame you for not being able to figure it out yourself.

Land, Sea, Sky: Big O, Big Fau, and Big Duo respectively. Big O is incredibly heavily armored and has a plethora of weapons, as well as chain anchors meant to secure it to the ground or buildings to help hold it in place when using its heavier ordinance, but has limited mobility options. Big Fau has its wrist screws, which in addition to being used like some sort of wrist-mounted chainsaw, can be used for aquatic locomotion, its rocket punch calls to mind torpedoes, and its head bares some resemblance to a submarine's conning tower. Big Duo can turn its hands into propellers and use them to fly, while neither Big O nor Big Fau have anything resembling the ability to fly.

Retractable Weapon: Glinda has a retractable sword which it uses against Big O. Played somewhat realistically in that, while it should never have been able to fold as it does, the sword is actually fairly weak. A slashing attack manages to damage Big O's arm shields, but a thrust attack meets Big O's fist and the sword crumples like paper.

Vehicle-Based Characterization: The two Megadeuses that Beck pilots demonstrate how inflated his ego is.

The second one, Beck the Great RX3, is a gaudy-looking Combining Mecha that wouldn't look out of place in a Super Robot setting. Both are easily destroyed by Roger's Big O with little effort.

Ruins of the Modern Age
 The Big O / int_91e3910c
comment
Ruins of the Modern Age Though never said out loud, it's made damn clear that Paradigm City is built on top of New York City. To drive the point home, every instance of a notable New York landmark showing up, generally shows that landmark (and everything around it) destroyed. In Episode 5, it's mentioned that a man fell into the Hudson from the George Washington Bridge. Several track titles on the Original Sound Score II album allude to actual Manhattan streets and locations. Several key storyline events happen in Grand Central Station. A JFK Mark is mentioned, almost certainly a reference to New York's JFK Airport. The airport itself is seen (in ruins) in the same episode. It's later implied that Big Duo was found here. Mad Scientist Eugene Grant's lab appears to be based in the American Museum of Natural History. In the episode "Leviathan", Coney Island and its famous roller coaster, Cyclone, are visible in the wastelands just outside the city. Roger likes driving across the Brooklyn Bridge, fully visible in the 3rd episode. It is one of the few New York landmarks that isn't destroyed. There's also the fact that Alex Rosewater has an account at Bank of America◊, though this one is more likely just a case of Gratuitous English. Then again, in the first episode, Roger hands the Big Ear what looks like American Federal Reserve Notes (a roll of 20s to be exact), so this might not be so gratuitous...

Mighty Glacier
 The Big O / int_933576c8
comment
Mighty Glacier The Big O itself is the most obvious example. Unlike contemporary mecha shows where increasingly even the real robot-type machines show increasing agility, the Big O is massive, plodding, unsubtle, and destructive. When it's shot from a distance, it's shown that it can actually move quite quickly (like a car with low acceleration but high top speed), but it's so heavy that it can't stop on a dime, and it's not exactly graceful. Of course, it's got tremendous amounts of firepower, with even its weakest weapons blasting tremendous holes in skyscrapers. Its Final Stage cannon blows away most of a city the size of New York. Its defensive aspects are even more formidable; most of the various monsters and robots the Big O fights have a variety of special abilities that gives them a versatile edge over the mecha, but almost every single one lacks an answer to the Big O's most common strategy of simply turtling up behind its massive arm guards and moving forward. In many ways, this unstoppable defense is the Big O's greatest strength. One of the only mecha to ever break through the Big O's armor was Glinda, which was a noted Glass Cannon. This says more about the Big O's defenses than anything else could. Most of the Megadei are massive and cumbersome. Even the flying Big Duo handles more like a heavy bomber than an interceptor, flying mostly in straight lines and needing vast amounts of space to make a turn. The two exceptions are the Archetype, a Lightning Bruiser which is apparently the stripped-down skeleton of a Megadeus that moves with the agility of a monkey, and Glinda (another Timothy Wayneright creation).

Dynamic Entry Although Big O is a rather slow moving robot, he scores several of these on opponents. In episode 13, Big O rises from beneath the ground to save Roger from psychopath android Red Destiny. Big O does this by smashing said android into the ceiling of the subway tunnel both Roger and Red Destiny were standing in. Additionally, Big O punches through a wall to save Dorothy from a spider-mech in season 2. Beck's "Victory Deluxe" attempts to mimic the Big O's dynamic rising from the ground, but it briefly gets stuck halfway through.

Although it's not an overt cliffhanger, the second season was apparently written under the understanding that there would be a third. Unanswered: Angel apparently remade the entire holographic world, but did she keep that power or give it up? Do people remember what happened? Is Alex Rosewater still at large, and is he really the Big Bad? Was the giant dome over the city restored, and if so, won't the lights fall and devastate the city all over again? Above all, why did someone trap a city of people in a giant holodeck with no memories?

comment
Rogues Gallery The reappearing Beck, Alan Gabriel, and Schwarzwald. This makes even more sense when you think about the possible allusion to another Rogues Gallery... The three of them arguably split elements of the Joker. Beck has the manic personality and base criminal desires, Alan is a sadistic killer, and Schwarzwald is a crazed sociopath whose actions only make sense to himself. The differing chunks of similarities seem played with when Alan Gabriel is rejected by Big Duo; Schwarzwald, despite being quite deceased for half the series, seems to manifest through Big Duo to actively berate Alan's gleefully pointless killing as being unworthy compared to his own motivations. Alan may have had the killing down, but it takes more than killing to make you worthy of being the Joker expy of the series.

Bowdlerization
 The Big O / int_a49914aa
comment
Bowdlerization: Besides the usual edits for violence, death, some fanservice (one episode edited out Angel sticking a pair of sunglasses into her cleavage), and imitable vices (read: smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol), there were also edits to remove anything referencing God or Christianity (even though that's not a common religion in Japan): When the first season of the show aired on Toonami, the word "God" in "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty" was digitally altered to "Good." It's one of the very few changes they made to the show, and it doesn't even hurt the show all that much. (This change would be reversed when [adult swim] started airing the series.) Likewise, Paradigm Corp. is merely "church and state," as opposed to "God and state" (which doesn't really make a difference, as it's still a religious reference). They also changed the name of the electric serpent in #3 from "god" to "titan". Episode 10 (Winter Night Phantom) had a crucifix digitally removed from the sequence where a little girl blows up a cathedral with a bomb (which was also edited). Episode 11 (Daemonseed) edited all the Christian comparisons to Heaven's Day being like Christmas (which kills the meaning of the episode).

Timm Style: A rare Anime example, as the character designs take a lot of cues from Bruce Timm's art style, and Roger himself greatly resembles Bruce Wayne. Fittingly, Sunrise was a subcontractor for Batman: The Animated Series, the most well-known example of the trope and a major influence on the series.

In "Beck Comes Back", Beck's "Victory Deluxe" Megadeus attempts to make a big entrance to challenge Roger and the Big O—only to get stuck halfway rising up. And even when it does become battle ready, its missiles and lasers prove to be utterly useless against the Big O, which promptly decapitates Beck's robot.

Hypocritical Humor: When Dorothy first shows up at Roger's place looking for protection, Roger muses that Norman must be going senile to have mistaken her for a human (he's not in the room). Dorothy is quick to point out that Roger was also fooled until he got a close look, so he changes the subject.

Empathic Weapon
 The Big O / int_b7e1dcc8
comment
Empathic Weapon The Megadei all have what appears to be a system of judging the worthiness of their pilot. When they turn on, a display says "Cast in the Name of God, Ye Not Guilty" if the robot accepts its pilot. They also turn off several times throughout the series in response to the pilot's emotional state. The Megadei even seem to be able to move of their own volition in a limited fashion. Pilots are frequently caught in the hands of their Megadeus before they get in the cockpit. Big O goes so far as to punch through a wall to protect Dorothy even though it wasn't being piloted. So obviously they can think and act on their own if their owner is in danger or in need. In the one instance where a Megadeus deemed its pilot particularly unworthy, it flashed the words "Ye Guilty" on the display. Then it proceeded to "eat" him. Episode 21 had Big Fau, the Third Big, respond to Alex's screams that he was its Dominus with "Cast in the name of God...Ye Not." The Big units also appear to be able to recognize other Big-type units. In episode 21, all it took for Big O to subdue Big Fau, who was going berserk while being piloted by Alex, amounts to a silent Get A Hold Of Yourself Man gesture and little talk from Roger, at which point it shut itself down.

12-Episode Anime: 13 episodes per season. Notable for being one of the first anime to air in this manner which got a second season, and also an odd example in that it was supposed to be a full 26-episode series before low ratings caused production to be halted halfway through; the second season isn't a new story so much as it was Cartoon Network commissioning the staff to come back and finish what they started after the series performed better in America.

Sand Is Water

comment
Sand Is Water: The "Leviathan" is bigger than Big O, but it's freaking fast in the sand. Possibly justified since it appears to disintegrate any solids on contact, maybe it makes the sand mushier or something. When air is pumped into sand, it behaves like a fluid. Sand (and things like sand) also react this way to intense vibration (like sound); any powerful agitating force that could disintegrate solid matter would cause sand to act just like a liquid.

Animesque: The series is an inversion, being a Japanese anime that takes a lot of influence from the art style of Bruce Timm; fittingly, Sunrise was previously a subcontractor for Batman: The Animated Series.

Lightning Bruiser
 The Big O / int_db6230b7
comment
Most of the Megadei are massive and cumbersome. Even the flying Big Duo handles more like a heavy bomber than an interceptor, flying mostly in straight lines and needing vast amounts of space to make a turn. The two exceptions are the Archetype, a Lightning Bruiser which is apparently the stripped-down skeleton of a Megadeus that moves with the agility of a monkey, and Glinda (another Timothy Wayneright creation).

Ship Tease
 The Big O / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease Several, but the most memorably hilarious one comes from episode 18, where Dorothy declares her love for Roger...just joking. The entire "Heaven's Day" episode was a ship tease between Roger and Dorothy, from people commenting on how they make a cute couple, to going out of their way to get gifts for each other. Norman helps push Roger into it.

Giant Robot Hands Save Lives: Roger and Schwarzwald fall into their giant robots' hands and survive several times. Roger has also done this for other people. Thank you, gentle robot friend. At least in the Christmas Episode, the victim falls into a pile of apparently soft debris in the hand (even though it popped up from beneath the street), rather than the hand itself.

Expy: Roger was deliberately designed to resemble Bruce Wayne. Norman is essentially Alfred. With ordnance...well, okay, more ordnance. Alan Gabriel is the Joker with a drill hand. They even have a Jim Gordon! With shades of Harvey Bullock, as Dastun is less-than-thrilled about Roger solving what the police aren't able to (which is almost everything). Beck ...is the Riddler, more or less. Unrelated to Batman for once, Beck is meant to be a parody of Lupin III. And Angel would be Catwoman. Really, we could go on and on. They also appear to use a very specific version of the Batman Mythos for inspiration. Gotham and Paradigm are designed with very similar "Dark Deco" styles, Roger is an anime version of Bruce's redesign for The New Batman Adventures, Angel is blonde just like Selina Kyle in the animated series (in the comics she has black hair), Norman is just Alfred with an eyepatch, and Dorothy's red hair and relationship with Roger seems inspired by both Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson except Dorothy is just better, and as mentioned before, Dan Dastun is a combination of Commissioner Gordon and Harvey Bullock (Batman: TAS is where Harvey Bullock first saw mainstream success). In fact, Sunrise worked on animation for Batman: The Animated Series prior to the creation of The Big O. Big O's face is basically Robot Keiji K's. No, really! ...made better with R. Frederick O'Reilly's appearance later on, who strongly resembles Robot Keiji K in everything but the face. Let's take it a step further: Since the premise of this show involves a city without memories, it's very possible that all of these people are just the citizens of Gotham... just kidding. Given the many hints that Paradigm City is what remains of New York, this is technically confirmed. Alex Rosewater is more of a subversion — rather than being based on anyone from the Batman mythos, he seems very much modeled after Lex Luthor. DC themselves may well have acknowledged this — the scene from Superman: Doomsday where Lex watches the brawl between Superman and Doomsday is almost a shot-for-shot remake of Rosewater watching Big Duo battling Big O.

Merry Christmas in Gotham: The Christmas special starts out grim as usual. We have a blind girl whose lover is a garbageman by day and musician by night. They are starving, barely able to afford food at all. Then a mad scientist leaves a biological weapon in the boy's tip jar, and it turns out the "weapon" is a massive self-growing Christmas tree made to teach people to love nature and each other. While the tree grows, everyone hears the boy's music, Roger and Dorothy exchange presents and have an impromptu dance party, and it snows.

Younger Than They Look
 The Big O / int_e9db9908

Younger Than They Look: Dorothy. It's never lampshaded, despite the romantic interest that seems to develop between her and Roger; on the other hand, maybe this is normal in a city where androids and humans coexist as equals. However, being an android Dorothy is technically ageless and is more than equal to the characters of the series. Being technically ageless and having been designed to be who she is, her lifetime time since her activation is irrelevant and it's really a nonexistent problem. Though as mentioned above, this possibly applies to Roger as well. Invoked.

Exact Words: Dorothy, a Three Laws-Compliant android, is being attacked by the Ambiguously Robotic Alan Gabriel and making no move to defend herself. In a bit of mid-fight banter, she asks Gabriel if he's human or an android like her. Gabriel mockingly replies that "I'm the boogeyman!" Dorothy takes his statement at face value, concludes that he has just admitted to not being human and therefore fair game according to her programming, and proceeds to effortlessly take him apart. (Word of God later revealed that Gabriel is in fact a cyborg.)

Guns Are Worthless: For the most part, Big O's most effective weapons are its piston powered fists. Despite its many ranged weapons, the solid missiles and cannons never ever work, and the energy weapons also usually don't. To the point where an energy blast is less effective against a meteor falling to the city than punching it right before it hits.

Cut Short
 The Big O / int_ffa0483f
comment
Cut Short Although it's not an overt cliffhanger, the second season was apparently written under the understanding that there would be a third. Unanswered: Angel apparently remade the entire holographic world, but did she keep that power or give it up? Do people remember what happened? Is Alex Rosewater still at large, and is he really the Big Bad? Was the giant dome over the city restored, and if so, won't the lights fall and devastate the city all over again? Above all, why did someone trap a city of people in a giant holodeck with no memories? The finale was set up so it could work both as a conclusion to the series and as a way to set up a third season. In other words, the creators wrote it that way with full knowledge that they might not be able to make any more (which is also how they wrote the season one finale.) And considering that this is Big O we're talking about, a third season would likely have ended even more ambiguously.
