## Summary

Discotek Media has released the complete 26-episode run of *The Big O* on Blu-ray, bringing back a series that was among Toonami’s early anime offerings in the US. The noir-inspired mecha show, first broadcast in 1999, gained a stronger following in the West than in Japan and became a cult favourite.

The collection includes both the Japanese version with English subtitles and the English dub in high definition, priced at $49.95. It spans the series’ two seasons, which follow negotiator Roger Smith as he investigates the mysteries of a dystopian city alongside his mech Big O, android Dorothy and butler Norman; initial copies appear to have sold out.
