Synopsis

In a futuristic world almost barren of life, mankind is confined to mechanized domed cities where A.I.’s control all aspects of life. In this world, humans are no longer born, they are manufactured in a production line; and alongside them live androids known as autoreivs. Within one of these domed sanctuaries named Romdeau lives Re-l Mayer, one of a few citizens who aren’t entirely prevented from thinking. Her grandfather's prominent position and the affection of the scientist Daedalus have left her more free will than is normally allowed, but Re-l has started to question the sanctity of the city and the citizens' perfect way of life. With mysterious beings known as proxies causing havoc and a man named Vincent causing great influence on her life, Re-l must travel outside of the city to find the answers she seeks and discover the mystery behind "the awakening".

Reviews

sajjadkabirjoy The words I put in the summary were haphazard; it's hard to describe Ergo Proxy in a few words. It does have a masterful story, and the overall design is intensely sophisticated, the characters are brilliantly memorable, and the overall theme, while "esoteric" to some, is deeply emotional and humane. The series doesn't try to explain things away; if you don't pay attention, you'll miss a lot. But as the story progresses it becomes so engrossing that not paying attention is almost impossible. It doesn't try to be smart and philosophical; it's naturally so. Some shows try to highlight the inherent ideas so much that it starts seeming superficial at some point, but not with Ergo Proxy; the deep psychological episodes in the story are not only necessary, but elements that adds to the enjoyment.The anime starts in distant future, in a "dome city" called Romdeau, populated by citizens and androids in human form called "AutoReivs" who are encouraged to waste more. Re-l Mayer, granddaughter of the highest authoritative figure in the city, is investigating a series of crimes apparently carried out by AutoReivs infected with a virus called "Cogito", which imbues them with self awareness. Re-l is bored, she yearns for change. While investigating, she comes across a face she knows, an immigrant named Vincent Law, whose dream it is to be accepted into the society as a fellow citizen...What is built upon this humble premise is extraordinary. To watch, AND to understand the series is to fall in love with it, utterly, blindly. If someone has told you it was no good, you will know they didn't quite get it. Before I could start the last episode, it was time for me to go out to work, and the only thought that kept rolling in my head was, if I were to die outside, I won't be able to finish it, and that will be the only thing I'll regret about my whole life!
dandbone I liked this cartoon. Apart from two episodes whose point I fail to understand, this was great. The main characters seem to be given proper attention. I especially liked Lil (Ri-l, Real) Mayer who is and acts like a spoiled princess, thus daring to break the usual "polite and shy" template for main characters in Japanese anime. The other characters, robots and humans are well developed and interesting on their own with a special mention to Pino.The story is not necessary original, and even if some may complain it's hard to follow, I never felt for a second confused. The atmosphere was dark, intense, similar to that of Blade Runner.
Alexander_scout Ergo proxy is probably one of the best anime of all time, really. I love it's empirical nature, too few anime require a functional brain to understand, but this, this made me happy. The plot, the characters, the depth... absolutely genius. And this isn't praising it, it's just how it is, plain and simple. If I were to go into detail I would need to take a break for a few weeks to write a book about it.One of my all time favorites, this piece cannot be described in words. The complex situations and the reasons behind them are sometimes almost out of reach of the rational mind, it's exhilarating, you're given a piece of the puzzle and you have to fill the rest. I understand why some couldn't get past this idea and gave up trying to understand.If you watch Ergo Proxy only for the action then you might as well not be watching it at all. This isn't for everyone, it isn't even trying to be and I appreciate that. The author of this story simply let his imagination free of any constraints and created a masterpiece, one to remember.
Aaron Carrell Well i didn't know hardly anything about this when i started it but thats what made it so fun. I can't remember where i first saw it at but I've gotten into it and I'm loving it! it's not REALLY! action packed but as the story progress's, well lets just say its been a real journey.I't has my favorite style of drawing, really dark and and yet beautiful. My main oppion on this is that if u liked, Serial Experiments Lain, and others like that, then i do believe u will love it, I know i have!!! Tell me your opinions...
