Originally broadcast in 2001 – The Big O helped to establish an on-going presence of action anime on Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network will also begin rebroadcast of the first season of The Big O this Summer as anticipation builds for the network broadcast of the second season this Fall.

Paradigm City. A City of Amnesia. Forty years ago everyone lost their memory...but humanity continues to survive. They've learned to operate machinery, produce electricity, and go on living each day at a time. Still, there's something missing in a town with no past, no history of what has come before. Roger Smith is a Negotiator, hired to negotiate disputes between parties. With the power of a wondrous piece of technology known as the Big O, Roger Smith keeps Paradigm City from the nightmare of memories.
