The Big O
Paradigm City is a place of collective amnesia, where everyone's forgotten their past following some catastrophe four decades ago. The whole place is wrapped in mystery, and it falls to people like Roger Smith to navigate through the fog. Roger works as a professional negotiator and smooth-talking problem solver—a stylish guy who only wears black suits and sees them as the height of fashion. His job usually involves settling disputes, but he keeps finding himself pulled into situations where he's basically saving the city from criminals and whatever else tries to wreak havoc. The deeper he digs into cases, the more he realizes nothing in Paradigm is straightforward. He's not handling it alone, though. His butler Norman is competent and loyal, while Dorothy—an android who looks human—tags along with a dry sense of humor. They've also got Big O, a massive jet-black mecha that becomes Roger's heavy artillery when things go wrong. As Roger keeps stumbling through these cases, he gradually uncovers what actually happened four decades ago, all while serving up justice to Paradigm's criminal underworld.
