I was watching Big O, and saw that there is an android named Dorothy that was created to fill the void left by a dead daughter. Not only that, but she has 'memories' from the daughter's life. She, as with Atom cannot tell which memories are her own, and which are the human's. B)

Sounds like Blade Runner with Harrison Ford.

I have noted many similarities between Big O and other shows. It has a musical score that resembles the Twilight Zones's classic them, a car that has characteristics of the 60s Batmobile, James Bond's Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and The Green Hornet's Black Beauty, not to mention the similarity between Atom and Dorothy. :D

I think there are some other similarities between the two, but I just finished disc 4, which ened with "to be continued", only to learn from animeondvd.com that there is no more to the series! It was cancelled after 13 episodes :angry: I only learned of it from the Cartoon Network, but would not have imagined that it would show an incomplete series. :angry: What a rip-off!

Anyway, I see similarities between Big O and the WB Batman cartoon, both in the music and graphic design.
