* YouMeanXmas: Heaven's Day which is pretty blatantly Christmas under another name. Even Rosewater points it out near the end of the episode. Justified though due to the mass amnesia.

Roger Smith is a "negotiator" living in Paradigm City: part-PrivateDetective, part-professional go-between. Roger is one of the most trusted and well-paid men in his field. Yet if negotiations break down or a disaster threatens the peace of the city, he has one hell of an ace up his sleeve: the "Big O", a [[HumongousMecha titanic battle robot]] officially classified as a "megadeus".

* TwelveEpisodeAnime: 13 episodes per season. Notable for being one of the first anime to air in this manner which got a second season, and also an odd example in that it was ''supposed'' to be a full 26-episode series before low ratings caused production to be halted halfway through; the second season isn't a new series so much as it was Creator/CartoonNetwork commissioning the staff to come back and finish what they started the first time after the series performed better in America.

''The Big O'' was created by Creator/{{Sunrise}} studios and premiered in Japan in October 1999. Though originally planned as a 26-episode series, low viewership in Japan meant that production ceased after only 13 had been completed. The series fared better internationally, however, where it received a very positive reception after airing on Creator/CartoonNetwork in April 2001. This caught the network's attention and as a result they offered Sunrise and Bandai Visual to join as co-producers on a second season, consisting of the 13 unproduced episodes, which started airing in Japan in January 2003 and in August that year the US.
