    The Big O.

    The animators in Japan that did a lot of work on Batman TAS were inspired to make this weird show that’s kinda like Batman, but instead of dressing up as a bat, the dude secretly has a giant robot… because Japan. Everyone in the city was mind wiped so there’s philosophical questions the value of memories. It had a film noir vibe about the underlining mystery of why everyone was mind wiped. But also giant robot fights in every episode.

    It aired on Cartoon Network, but wasn’t picked up for a third season.
