June 1, 2003
In this comic adaptation of the cartoon series, Paradigm City has amnesia - 40 years ago, something happened that wiped out the memories of its residents, forcing them to recreate their culture from scattered fragments. In this strange world, Roger Smith is a negotiator, a go-between for police, citizens, and criminals in high-risk diplomatic situations. But something else survives from the past: the mysterious Megadeuses! One of these giant robots, the Big O, may hold the key to surviving the crime and madness overtaking Paradigm City!

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradigm City is the city of amnesia..., May 6, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Big O, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
40 years ago something happened that took away all the memories of the city. This forced people to recreate their culture from the ruins of the city around them. In this world Roger Smith is the Negotiator. He is a go-between for police, citizens and criminals in high-risk situations.

Within the rubble of city there can be found giant robots, a type called a MegaDeus, the remains of a unknown past. When things get out of hand Roger calls his MegaDeus, Big O, to action.

This manga includes events BEFORE the anime and has completely new stories not seen in the anime. In fact it seems to follow its own logic and had its own ending.
