Definitely a forgotten hidden gem that deserves far more attention!

Is it? I saw a lot of people talk about it throughout my experience, Toonami probably helped with its popularity in the US.

@@peppermillers8361 It can get episodic and feel like a monster of the week type of show. However little by little mysteries unfold and nearly every episode serves a major role in the ending. In my opinion it’s the a perfect blend between nostalgic classic USA cartoons and classic anime. The ending is really good! The English dub is far superior than the Japanese sub. A lot of the English dub voice actors did the voices in Cowboy Bebop. The main character is voiced by Steven Blum!

@fullmetalyeager2778 I mean, it is a monster of the week series, doesn't mean those shows can't have a plot, it depends on your preference. It's a good OVA either way. I actually like both the JP and ENG dubs, though I do find Schwartzwald's hammy performance in ENG just absolutely riveting. My only disappointment is that he didn't speak German like in JP. You should check out Giant Robo if you haven't. It's somewhat similar to Big O in terms of being set in a retro-futuristic setting and having a weighty robot.

@@peppermillers8361 I was considering checking out Giant Robo, but I’m not sure which show is the better superior adaptation and what’s canon. So you have seen The Big O?

@fullmetalyeager2778 Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still isn't an adaptation, it's basically its own thing. It uses a bunch of Yokoyama character designs and concepts, and just meshes them into a wuxia-esque scenario where there's characters with a bunch of powers. GR: Giant Robo has no relations to it besides being someone else's take on the original concept. Really wished it went with the original idea of being an improved adaptation of the original manga, but it is what it is. Yeah, I've watched Big O.

The main character is basically Bruce Wayne, but instead of a bat costume, it’s a giant fucking robot.

One of my all time favorites. Anime Batman never dissapoints

One of my favorite shows of all time growing up

You sound like the son of the toonami announcer. Good stuff

Just when I had things figured out, the ending still totally blew my mind. It's one of my favorites

I just started watching this series on KZread after several years and you did great with the voice

The narration style with the voice and the music totally reminds me of Toonami 20 years ago.

This is better then Batman blew him away with one season big o did it’s job and left masterpiece

BTAS is an AMAZING series, but yes, Big O is FANTASTIC. Not sure if you realize it came back for a second season back in the day because of popularity in the US. If you have seen both seasons: TREAT YOURSELF!! :)

Cast in the name of God. Ye Not Guilty

This, conan the detective, and inuyasha put me on to anime in the late 90s or early 00s. I remember taking a family trip to Cali when I was 8(2004) and I vividly remember playing my red gameboy advance SP Pokemon sapphire, watching inuyasha in the hotel room.

This is one of the few shows that I watched back then, and actually enjoyed. Born in 97 lol.

One of my favorite anime! BIG O, SHOWTIME!!

That's why I always liked this show it reminded me of Batman and all that time it was inspired by Batman animated series

I thought it was Steve Blum for a minute

I still re watch this sad its forgotten

If you ask me there hasnt been a anime anything like it since it came out. N its a very metaphorical masterpiece...

Best music of ANY anime.

Nostalgic affff

I just love this show, one of the reasons that I bought yhe blu-ray. Definitely got some Batman the animated series influences.... Just love it ❤😊

Just finished watching this last night, Watch the hell outta this if you havent, I was too young as a child to truely understand Anime like this but man its so good and gets better as you go along.

I got buy the Big O series....It my childhood and deserves a spot at NY house.

Crazy that im actually rewatching this now mid season 1

Im so glad my dad showed me this show it was so good 😮

Lol, you gentlemen are aging me up in here! Lol, I was 20 when this dropped ... prob your Dad's age! Yeah, this was a really great series. The Film Noir style GOES HARD! I wish there was more! :) The plot got a little frenetic toward the end, I'm guessing they were pulling for a S3 (so was I!), but alas we only got 2 seasons ... and lucky at that! It was canceled after S1 in Japan, but it had alot of traction in America (and this is when anime and Toonami REALLY began to take hold in the US) and thanks to Cartoon Network teaming with Bandai we got a second season, and the animation was crisper, BUT the plot left too many holes unclosed at the end. It would be REALLY awesome to continue this story now, and give it a PROPER ending. A+ series, through and through. HIGHLY recommend.

I always thought Batman the cartoon was before this! Interesting

Cool I remember this show.

I love this show.

Such a great Anime

Thought steve blum was speaking to me

Love this. Big O Is awesome

This is about under appreciated as Firefly or deadwood.

Basically Batman with mecha and android partner

its SO good. back when anime was anime and not this my hero sht

Weird this popped up in my feed, cause my buddy and I just started watching it this past week. He caught some of the Toonami episodes and I watched some on Adult Swim when we were younger. Solid show so far.

Zabuzas voice actor kills

I kinda thought the show's concept borrowed a little bit from Dark City, myself.

THIS WASN'T STEVE BLUM NARRATING THIS??? Wow👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥

I love this show so damn much ❤

Awesome narration

Good show 👏

BIIIIIG O!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was the second mech anime I ever watched first was actually Gigantor not even Gundam then it peaked for me when Gurren Lagen came out

I knew I wasn't crazy trying to explain the show I watched growing up

Love this anime, it's cool, wild and mysterious

Am trying to watch this again can't find it no where

One of the best

just finished it a couple days ago. wish they didnt change the animations in the second half.

The Big O is AMAZING… and you should watch it if you like mecha anime with a flair of Batman lol

Good Guys still wear Black. It's Show TIme. Only Toonami.

It would be funny if the ending was an asspull like “it's just a simulation” and Rodger decides to just live in the simulation, continuing the endless hell. BIG O: S H O W T I M E

Was the ending supposed to imply that there was a reset to the world so many times that 40 years has passed since the beginning or the start of the resets?

@iamshen6

Maybe the city was reset many times, we can't confirm how long passed, But in the end, it is understood that cities are all constituted, and the existence of time is not very meaningful. We just need to know that the city has its real creator （director ）and that everything is just a set up(history，memory). Although this ending will be very annoying to some people, I thought Big O points out a kind of confusion, that is, how to confirm that people exist in the present, and how to face it if everything is just a setup.

Where can you find this now on streaming?

Song in the background?

I still don’t get the ending. If Angel was really an actual Angel and erased reality or whatever, then what was the point of the Megadueses?

Where can I watch this show again at?

Is it? I've been watching it, and it certainly has style. Something ain't translating though cuz it's pretty nonsensical and vague. I get the feeling I'm supposed to have read the Manga.

The plot made no sense to me when I was younger, I may give the anime another try, but probably not

If only it wasn't oozing with political overtones, it'd be perfect. but now that i know, there's no turning back.

Show had so much potential but got whacky and had a shit end

Nice AI voice.

That was horrible AI shame on you 😔
