The Big O is a very unique anime in terms of art style. It is very reminiscent of the Batman Animated Series from the 1990's in terms of overall aesthetic.
Everyone in this setting has amnesia for some reason. They have a lot of technology that they had developed in the past, including some giant robots. The main character, Roger Smith, lives in a mansion with his butler and his android maid named Dorothy, who also has an interesting backstory. He is a freaking pimp.
If you want Batman + giant robots, this anime may be for you. The art is weird but one gets used to it after a while.

I actually love this anime.
Roger Smith is a badass. He's one of those millionaire playboys with strong convictions to a fault. The whole amnesia theme plays out really well as the story goes. Some series don't do it so well but it's nicely done in Big O.
The music in the series is pretty amazing, too.
