Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chun-tzu" data-source="post: 936602" data-attributes="member: 1441">One of those sources seems a bit confused. According to <a href="http://www.animenfo.com/" target="_blank">Anime NFO</a>, a very reliable source, there were 13 episodes of season 1 (or rather, series 1, debuting in 1999) and this second series, picked up by Cartoon Network, is 26 episodes. I've seen all 13, and am quite certain that was it (until now).Anyway, that's definitely good news! The premise doesn't do a whole lot for me, but the episodes are pretty good. It's set in Paradigm City, a city with a mystery: no one remembers anything before the last 20 (?) years. The star of the show is Roger Smith, the Negotiator. He's a James Bond kind of guy: stylish, sophisticated, has lots of gadgets, and can take care of himself when there's trouble. But when its time for the real action, he summons the giant robot Mega-Deus.What Big O does really, really well, better than just about any other show I've seen, is the preparation for battle scenes. There's an absolute KILLER battle theme song (no words, it's all orchestral), and when he's starting up Big O, the computer screens show the phrase:CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD, YE NOT GUILTY(This is also part of the Japanese theme song.)Edit - Now that I re-read it, they must mean that CN is preparing to show all 26 episodes of Big O Roger, the second Big O series, and that if it does well, they may order a second season. But counting the first series, it's actually the third season of Big O.</blockquote>
