Has any one seen all 2 seasons of the Big O Cartoon. I have them and watched it two or three times and I'm still a little bit confused. If any one wants to discus this or has an opinion/knows what happened.

The story of Big O takes place 40 years after an incident called "The Event" occured which destroyed the city of Paradign and erased the memories of the citizens. Even though the lives of the citizens eventually return back to normal and the citizens remember the use of technology like electricity and automobiles, they are still plagued with the problem of not knowing what had exactly happened to them over 40 years.

The main characters name is Roger Smith who is known as the Negotiator. It is his job to protect the people while he deals his own mysterious past. His allies are Dorothy an andriod, his butler Norman, and a giant Robot called the Big O.


Paradigm City is a stage, The lower you go the newer things get, People/robots crated with knowledge of past "tomatoes". Everyone else can't remember anything. Flashbacks of multiple Roger Smith and Big O's and a war. There is a Dark Angel feel the

Big O fights Big Duo and Angel finds the control room turns everything into the Hollow deck and starts erasing things. Roger negotiates with her than everything starts like the first episode.

If anyone wants to talk about Big O. This is where to do it.

The first season was originally supposed to be the only season, but it proved to be a rather unexpected hit on Toonami. So much so, that CN bankrolled the creation of a second season. My opinion? I think it's a case of the creators not really knowing in what direction to take it, so they went with something vague and non-standard a la Evangelion.

I hear ya. I've seen the end of Evangelion. I read that they had an option for 25 more episodes but the DVD sales in the US market were slow.
