Yes, i like to think, therefore i am. This show kept me at edge of my seat until the last episode. Last episode confused me but i understood after a lot of thinking, and it amazed me. Here i can explain it for you , in short. Everybody in Romdeau is not human.. They are sub-humans ,i.e. near-humans made by womb created by ergo proxy. Every dome has a womb, and a proxy. Sub-humans cant reproduce. Earth is doomed due to methane gas overload in environment. Real mankind left the earth to save themselves. If they try to reproduce without artificial womb, they would end up like those creatures in cave. Real mankind made 300 proxies to conserve life or sub-humans (as a second option, if humans don't survive in space) or at least autorievs with cogitovirus. Then they go to space to save themselves.Cogito virus is safety valve for real humans(in space), in case they die out there. But, as sunlight has arrived and mankind survived in space. There is no raison'de'tre left for domes and proxies. Proxies can destroy everything on earth to leave a safe place for mankind to begin with. Proxies die in blue sky, but vincent will not die as he is incomplete. It is'nt clear whether what will he do to punish creator(mankind) for all suffering he has faced. Suffering is because , mankind had given proxies the soul, so that they become lonely forever and kill themselves till humans arrive. Proxies are programmed to kill each other , be lonely, and do suicide, or die under sky, so that mankind will face no resistance from them afterward. Besides the awesome storyline, this show is thought provoking too. I would highly recommend this to you. I want more of this MANGLOBE!!!
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreAt first, I thought it won't be that good as any other anime series of japan. despite of the ratings and review it had I was never gonna watch it. But after I got no further shows to watch, I got my hands on this show. and after watching first few episodes, it didn't look that impressive too if we don't count the graphics and CG technology, which was awesome. But when I endure to watch it further, I came to realize the effectiveness of the show and the great characters it contains. I personally thinks that Vincent Law is a beautifully created protagonist and as for the RE-L, she is just so beautiful. I loved pino too. she is extremely cute i throughout enjoyed the series and completed it in merely 2 days. Ergo Proxy deserves a place in my top 20 anime series of all time.
... View MoreWhat is very special about this anime is that while many animes are focused around philosophical themes this one goes very deep. It doesn't only have references to many philosophical themes it really bases on many of them.It is really heavy-wight and because of its omnipresence it is very hard to not get too confused with all this topics. Without basic knowledge many things would appear pretty pain. Especially the first half of the series could be pretty hard. Many things seem to be very plain. Also the way this anime 'describes' the characters are so well-thought that I thought about stopping to watch it. The style of how the characters personalities are described is pretty unique and hard to describe especially if I don't want to tell too much. I can just assure that the anime isn't as plain as it looks in first place. It's ironic that the reason for the characters and the story seem to be plain is the very same reason they achieve an incredible depth. So it really work looking it. Even if you usually do not look animes.
