This place, Paradigm City, is a town of forgetfulness. Kids these days, they don't appreciate smooth jazz. Just a few lonely comments on this video. The only ones who regret the loss of this music are the city's elderly. But memories, like appreciation of weeb jazz, sometimes comes when you least expect it.
How is there only one comment? This is one of the most emotive and capturing arrangements in anime and music. I love it. Since the first time i heard it 15 years ago. World-class composing that serves the source material and exudes atmosphere and nostalgia.
We have choices, some people like to stand in the rain without an umbrella. That's what it means to live. Tonight, I think I'll live on Houston St. for a while.
Maybe. Maybe. But look at the silver Lining of Paradigm City's legacy: Has any studio come along to screw it up like they did to Death Note? Star Wars? No. And that's why we love it so much. Nothing fooling around with us or tarting it up with any Narratives or pro-this-or-that messaging. It's made in the same way some of us like to drink our tea. .... Black.
I respectfully disagree. I think that it ended perfectly. When I was younger, on my first watch, having to see new episodes once a week, I was enraged. But having rewatched multiple times, the ending was perfection. Whatever came next couldn’t be as good as each person’s interpretation of the perfect story. So we’re left with just that: the certainty that the author has confronted her demons and depression, come to terms with the fact that she’d been falling in love with the character she wrote, and committed to finishing the story. The characters are ready. They’re so well-developed that they write themselves. The anime ended perfectly, and I don’t say that to be hyperbolic. I still hold up Big O as the greatest anime ever made.
@@jimvenanzio6561 I mean it had narratives and messaging, it's impossible to have a piece of media without it's message, as that is where all media stems; lonely mankind reaching out to itself, and sharing in an idea. It explored a lot of the self, the horrors of war, of free will and of our nature as people and community, all of it for us to digest and accept or deny as our want, but it doesn't change the fact it's there. I'd argue some of you even resonated with that message, even if you didn't fully acknowledge it, consciously or otherwise. Big O had a lot to say, past it's stunning visuals, climatic robot fights, lovely OST, and absolute slow-roasted pulp aesthetic. I'd argue more that more the reason a remake is unreasonable; the heart is on it's sleeve. The messages is there. It's up to us to "come to terms" with that.
@@jimvenanzio6561 I feel that it ended quite poetically. We start the show with no one able to quite make sense of the past and why they're there. And in the end, answers were revealed that we couldn't quite make sense of ourselves.
"This place, Paradigm City, is a town of forgetfulness. One day, forty years ago, every person here lost all memory of anything which had occurred before that day. But humans are adaptable creatures. They make do and go on with life."
2023 and still one of those shows I'm obsessed with and keep rewatching... each time I find a detail I haven't noticed or an interpretation path I didn't go on. They don't make such animes anymore.
Glad you like it! Should be in something like Blade Runner. But the Big O is very nicely animated and this song perfectly captures the color palette and environment it is set in.
@@sycofya1677 And solemnly asking yourself, will I ever crack this case? Just how deep does this thing go, ImperialistFan1293? Maybe some mysteries just aren't meant to be solved. Life is a mystery all on its own. Some try to make sense of it. Maybe those who don't, know better. I know which path I've taken, but is it the right one? In the end, it doesn't matter... when you're nothing but a flower petal being carried away by the westerly breeze.
@@cyberspectre8675 Confirming that even without what happened 40 years ago, man would still be a creature that fears the dark. He averts his eyes from that fear, from the memory of his own history, and acts as if he never had those memories in the first place.
man... every time i hear this song... it takes me back... feelin proud... my daughter.. her beautiful pet son.... and good ol' fashioned memories of parodime sity.... man.. those were the dais....

Going to watch the anime now, with a show with this banger of a song it has to be a good show.
I'm convinced Weeb Jazz is the best

Fuck anime
I agree.
FACTS
It is 10/10 amazing, but I hate the busy city/new york sax atmosphere
We were to busy enjoying it.
I miss 2003 era of Adult Swim.
You hit it right on the head.
Unfortunately it went downhill fast after super milk Chan and shin chan came into the scene
this was such an under-rated anime...
We have choices, some people like to stand in the rain without an umbrella. That's what it means to live.
Tonight, I think I'll live on Houston St. for a while.
Sorrowful, Deep, sincere, Coming to terms...
Just make sure..its the right ones.
We were robbed, this anime was so damn good and they just left us hanging
Maybe. Maybe.

OMG THIS MAKES ME CRY, NOSTALGIA IS BEYOND THIS WORLD...EARLY 2000s...please come back..
Someone make this an hour long and add some rain sounds and I don't think I'll ever wake up.
That’s actually a really good idea 😮🌧️😴🎷🎶

Beautiful combination, between the dialogues and narrations, blended with this music. There was no better time than Watching Toonami in the late 90s.
“Paradigm City, the city of amnesia” Roger Smith😎
The fact they made 3 different versions of this song shows just how good it is
And all three of them are great
THANK YOU

Sometimes youtube algoritms works the proper way and you discover hidden gems like this one.
The definition of a noir masterpiece.
"Vous êtes si gentil."

It really is such a great show.
SAME
Welp now i am learning to play to saxophone, thanks youtube for making life hard 😂
I’ve never seen this show and don’t even know what it is? But this music 👌😩
The anime is called "The Big O". I highly recommend it!
Glad you like it! Should be in something like Blade Runner. But the Big O is very nicely animated and this song perfectly captures the color palette and environment it is set in.
Think Batman meets Mecha and you have Big O.
Such great music for a great show , doesn't get enough credit
I TOTALLY AGREE!
I cry everytime inside.
"We have come to terms..."
This is exactly what I need to cruise or fall asleep to, thank you!
❤ to all you travelers, may your days be filled with joy, and lots of great memories.
👍💪🙏
"I got eight slugs in me. One's lead. The rest are bourbon."
Perfect for a rainy day.
This is the first time I have ever heard the extended arrangement. I am dying from absolute bliss right now!
It's so good that I almost lost my memories!!!
Hurt in confusion
This is the kind of jazz just right listen to when your driving home in the middle of the night after a hard shift at work.
Yes, in complete solitude, looking out the window at all the cars passing by as the rain hits the glass and you put out the last of a cigarette

Adult Swim had guts to make a season 2…I wish 3 had happened
I'm so lost and alone. In a forgetful city, no one knows who you are... We're just shadows, trying to remember how to dance~
One of the greatest anime music ever created.

What happened to your daughter?
@@cyberspectre8675 her beautiful pet son dun got to her he wauh hungryyy he hungryyy 🕊️
Jazz needs to make a come back man!
Lemme just stretch out...
Big Oh Yeahhhhhhhhhh...
God I loved this show growing up. There's not much else need be said but I'm glad to see others appreciate it as much as I do.
Great tunes like this one always fall thru the cracks into another universe to never be found again.
Great melodies always are unappreciated. ☹️😔
The big o the-brick ballast Houston
wonderful
This is it
It's 2024...and I'm STILL wondering why the ost is on spotify, but this song specifically is NOT on it.
This is one of those….grown man sit down in front of the fire sippin’ on your drink of choice waiting on a PYT to slide through ya clean crib.
"We have come to terms."
i love how people misuse the fair use law like they are using it legitimately main reason why i don't upload to youtube
cruisin on I95 during car meet
Slammed car pull up blaste some of the worst music ever made with only bass
😂 it so buitiful I loved this anime so much 😭 it has such a solid sound track
It sorta looks like the robot from contra
We have to come to terms
Someone really needs to mix this song with Halo 3 OSDT. Both would just fit together perfectly.
That playlist would hit harder than any drug
