Paradigm City is a place without a past. 40 years ago, something happened that wiped the memories of everyone in it. Unfortunately, the people of Paradigm City were very busy before then, making Megadueses (giant robots) and monsters. People who were born after the memory wipe are gaining/recovering memories of the past and using them to build newer threats. With the help of The Big O (a faithful giant robot), his butler Norman and the android Dorothy, Roger Smith keeps Paradigm City safe. (myanimelist.net)

Part of the end-of-the-millennium trend of existentialist sci-fi noir, with influence from Batman, Go Nagai, and Eva, The Big O is stylistically wonderful, with strong characters and good themes. The actual mystery aspect is a little rough sometimes, especially when it gets into Baudrillard territory, but ultimately it's a strong and worthwhile addition to this school of thought, and also R. Dorothy Wayneright is one of the best deadpan snarkers in any medium.
