In the words of Roger Smith: "Big O.Showtime!" Showtime indeed. Overall, it is a must see for those looking for some seriousness from anime. I only give this a good rating because of its sh ort run and the wait I had to have until the second season arrived to the states. The plot is simple, but its execution is indeed anything but. At first it is easily discernable with how each character develops, but over time, each becomes more than what they really are. The characters range from the being solitary, to corrupt, and to the most bizarre. The action is epic in its similarity to most anime robot action. The animation is sharp yet gloomy in its own way. Basically, it looks like it could be based off of New York City. Now, it is like having two different worlds colliding with each other. Paradigm City has lost its memory after an incident 40 years ago. Machines, Amnesia, and a convoluted story all make this a must see for serious anime watchers.
CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD.YE NOT GUILTY SERIES
This series had its debut on Cartoon Network.
The story may confuse or baffle some, but that just means they don't have I.Q's high enough to fully enjoy this series. Or reference to The Bible verse 'Let he who is sinless cast the first stone. Highly recommended, from a true fan who knows, and not just for Giant Robot lovers, but to ALL Anime fans. What does Cast in the name of God ye not guilty mean You are blameless, for what you do is in the name of God. For the COMPLETE series, you'll also have to order "The Big O II" set, also available from Bandai entertainment, and reasonably priced from this seller. A surprise success led to a second season, which is all that she wrote for the poor ol' Big O, which was out 2003-2004.
The first Season came out in Japan around 1999, and came to Cartoon Network around 2001-2002.
CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD.YE NOT GUILTY ANDROID
And if things get too BIG for one man to handle, he calls upon h is giant robot: THE BIG O! To save the city and the people who live there, along with his trusty butler Norman Burg, and female Android companion R. He settles disputes between parties, and acts as a sort of middleman. Roger Smith, is Paradigm City's top negotiator. People have learned to work machinery, and get on with their lives, but no one really knows whats happened, and whats going on.
A very complex story, more focus on human action and characterization, wonderful artwork and animation, a film Noir look and feel, and fantastic music and sound make up the "stage" of Big O.Ĥ0 years ago, "The Event" left Paradigm city without memories of anything prior to that time. At first glance, Big O seems like just another Giant Robot Anime, with nothing special to offer, but the complete opposite is true. Very rarely does an Anime come out, and over deliver on so many levels.
