| Yes, finally some questions are answered. Damn good episode, and who knew that Pino knew all along. |
 |
| i thought that he was related to the proxy but not that he's proxy himself |
 |
| Ever since Real found Vincent's necklace in her room after that proxy incident it was quite obvious that he's the proxy. But this episode made it clear all together. Very interesting episode. |

| So there is only one question without ansver for now. "Who are proxies?" |
kie_ said: Same, this episode was great! Never thought he would be that proxy, but now i guess it makes sense. i thought that he was related to the proxy but not that he's proxy himself |
| it was sort of hinted from the very first ep, and with each passing episode more evidence about vincent's identity was revealed until this episode. (which plainly answers the question of who he is) heh, i liked how pino counted up to 400 rabbits till vince came back. and as for who the proxies are? well i wouldn't know. and it doesn't seem like they have explained it in depth yet. but im suspecting that they are either "failed" attempts at making humans. or mutated humans as the result from the infection. or something else. hope further episodes explain these things as plainly as it did for this one. (or explaining it in an implied manner would also be nice though) |

| This episode has confirmed by now that Vincent is indeed a Proxy. It appears to me that Kazkis Proxy's human form was influenced by Brad Pitt’s character from the movie Legends of the Fall The resemblance is quite obvious in some scenes! This episode (Angel's Share) also has the same title as the GitS: Stand Alone Complex Episode 17. Since the title is a term used in wine production, wine is heavily referenced in both episodes. |
| "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer" |
| Really good episode. But jeez, anytime we find a new place all the people we meet die. I'm still very confused by the blonde guy's motives. He was trying to explain the goodness of destruction and why all those people had to die and why they're a "lie" and it confused me to all Hell. No Re-l this episode. I miss her already. |

YExoticCreature said: Also, why are there talking naked statues in this anime show? The statues aren't talking... I think. I think its actually people talking. But the camera view is on the statues. This has been done in several works before, though I can't name them. Also instead of people, i think they're Autoreivs. Because they were like "Heart rate increasing, Respiration rate increasing" or something like that when they were talking to the Head of the Security Bureau. So I think the Central Bureau is actually the Grandfather and a bunch of advisor autoreivs. ___________________________________________________________________ THIS EPISODE WAS EPICC WOW. That'd be so cool if you were just some weak ass pushover and suddenly you become like the most powerful Proxy lmfaooo. So is he like, able to control his transformations now? Or can he only activate it in life/death situations... wow i wanna see Re-L's face when she see's Vincents true form lol. I like the Proxy to God comparison. Because they are like, the Deities of their world. And they each are the Proxy of something, such as Proxy of the Moon, or Proxy of Death. as opposed to Goddess (in this case) of the Moon and God of Death, which is also ironic because Vincent even wondered himself if he was a "Shinigami" or Death God. |

| Didn't Real die? I would swear I saw a Death Certificate with her name being filled by Daedalus o.o Oh well, maybe there's a rebirth or something. On to Ergo; I liked how they made him the Death Proxy. Sounds like the "all-mighty-monster-that-will-kill-everything"... Now I wonder who the Proxies really are. On to the next episode! |
 |
| A very good episode indeed. Even though Vince knows he's a Proxy he's still going to Moscow, but what for? I guess we'll find out soon enough but I wonder where Re-l will fit back into all of this. |
 |
| Wait whaaaaaaaat?? ok pretty obvious for a while now that Vince is the proxy, but what the heck was the other guy blabbering on about |
 |
| Well, it was fairly obvious from the beginning that he's a proxy, but it's nice having it confirmed. But that wine dude's talk totally confused me. I should have paid more attention to what I was watching xD |

| is obvious that he is a proxy ^^ well I saw the anime....awesome anime is so cool and mysterious |
 |
| 5 out of 5: Loved it! (your vote) Oh, shit!! Vincent, you go boy!!!! |
 |
| Vincent is indeed a proxy. Still many more questions to be answered. |

cantius said: YExoticCreature said: Wow. Vincent's a proxy!!! That would explain a couple of things xD *facepalm* cantius said: YExoticCreature said: Wow. Vincent's a proxy!!! That would explain a couple of things xD *facepalm* I loled at this. |
| Vincent killed him pretty fast. I kinda want to see a 1 on 1 proxy fight, that would've been interesting. |

enkil said: heh, i liked how pino counted up to 400 rabbits till vince came back. I was thinking, "Ah what a sweet and forgiving child...err autoreiv." LOL And I love the last shot of the episode where Pino was standing and leaning behind Vincent. ♥♥♥ |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I like how the previews are done by X for X arc. Pino is so cute <3. |

| Bad editing, annoying Loli-tron and Avatar eyes, nice. |
A man of few words. |
| He is a proxy. :O Now I know for sure, but wondering what's next. |
| <img src="http://hinata.taigaforum.com/?sigid=91216" /> |
| Wow what a plot twist, great episode! |
 |
| Finally, Vincent is confirmed the proxy - Ergo Proxy that is.. Kinda confused what the Proxy of Brilliance is trying to say but I had something in my mind. Hopefully, next eps will explain. :) Great episode BTW. |
| Soultaker? |
| I'm glad that the blonde one is out. He tried to seduce Vincent after he killed his beloved one ? Oh, okay. Anyway he is where he wanted to be and he gave us a few answers and a lot more questions. Pino would be a great daughter :D Going to the next episode :) |
| So not only Vincent is a proxy, but he's the proxy of death. Very interesting. |

Hm really? I thought the statues' heads were moving and stuff. Maybe that's for effect so that it seems like the statues are talking. Still weird though. Those statues also give me headaches :P It must be sad for Vincent when he realizes/remembers that he is the Proxy of Death because he doesn't like death. Even though he doesn't know how to keep living, at least he still is :) I'm glad he's back with Pino. They're a cute duo. I wonder why he cried when he was in proxy form that time when he went to Re-l's apartment? It can't just be because he likes her right? |
| Ah, so the pretty proxy from last ep was Hauer's soulmate, Senekis... Also, I think Hauer mentioned, (Between chugging all that wine.. That guy can drink!) that Vincent had killed his own soul mate? Was that the one that was chasing him around in Romdo? "I've already counted to one hundred so I'm going to leave Vince behind, ok?...Hmm... 50 more!" Oh Pino... So cute. |
Forough said: Ever since Real found Vincent's necklace in her room after that proxy incident it was quite obvious that he's the proxy. But this episode made it clear all together. Very interesting episode. Felt the same way since that episode which I think was number 2 |
 |
| My expectation about who Vicent really is, is now confirmed. I didn't know that Pino knew about the true identity of Vicent :o This girl keeps surprising me episode by episode xD |
 |
| Great episode. |
 |
| Great episode! Two sexy Proxies battling it out... Hell yeah!! Sent with Mal Updater |
|
| Finally we have confirmation of what was suspected all along. He's a proxy and a powerful one at that. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Ok so there was always that thing in the back of my mind that vincent was a proxy, i mean the "hints" were like "hey guys hes a proxy" soooo yea. BUT. The episode before this one, got me thinking. These proxys are connected to things. That one was the moon. OMFG vincent is the god...i mean proxy of....DEATH. Not goina say i called it, but im happy when my assumptions are right ^^. Vincent OP |
 |
| great episode and just clarification that vincent was a proxy, but now we know he is the proxy of death, very interesting xD pino knowing all along was a reveal for me, her counting rabbits made me smile too :) only thing i would like to know now is what other people have asked previously.... what are proxies? sure it will be explained the pacing on this anime i have realized is so good, nice and steady with healthy amounts of action but also information, love it so far |
| I thought he would be a proxy . . . But not "Ergo Proxy" . . . Though guess it makes sense why he is so powerful. But feel bad now for "Monad" since apparently he/she did all this shit for Ergo just to have him kill her/him. |
 |
| Pino definitely masterminded this whole op |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
