The Big O

On WOWOW Prime, Tokyo MX

A surreal, noir-inflected psychological mystery where collective amnesia and existential uncertainty are the true subject, not the cases that frame them.

Forty years ago, the minds of Paradigm City's inhabitants were wiped clean of all recollections of the past. Now, ruled by a powerful corporation and cut off from the rest of the world by desolate wastelands, Paradigm has become a virtual police state where Negotiators like Roger Smith keep the wheels of progress, commerce, and society turning.
