Why it is worth watching
I'd recommend it for its noir style, its giant robots and Roger Smith negotiating with the same elegance with which he then pilots.
Paradigm City is a place without a past. 40 years ago, something happened that wiped the memories of everyone in it. Unfortunately, the people of Paradigm City were very busy before then, making Megadueses (giant robots) and monsters. People who were… born after the memory wipe are gaining/recovering memories of the past and using them to build newer threats. With the help of The Big O (a faithful giant robot), his butler Norman and the android Dorothy, Roger Smith keeps Paradigm City safe. As problems mount and more memories surface, Roger's past and Paradigm's future begin to become suspect...

It's a good fit if you're looking for classic wick, urban mystery and art deco atmosphere.
What sets it apart from other mecha is Paradigm City, a city where everyone lost their memory forty years ago and the giant robots look like remnants of a history that no one remembers.
More anime like The Big O, selected by genre, theme and viewing style.
