| I dont know why they made this weird episode , but i liked it and the information was somehow useful lol . |
| For a moment I thought I was watching a wrong anime. I knew it.. so totally expected Pino to draw that mosaic hahaha. |
| For some of the questions, I had the same thought process as Vincent, the other half I cringed at how dumb he was. He would say answers that directly contradicted with the information given. |
| This was one of the most unique episodes I've seen. Although it's very random, it provided some insight and background information about the setting of the story and the nature of Proxy, so I cannot call it a filler since it did give us as much information as other episodes. If game shows were this entertaining, I would watch them. |
| I found it kinda amusing that I was able to answer all the questions before the OP. Anyone else? |
 |
| I loved how this episode had a really trippy feel to it, like a very weird incomprehensible dream. It was weird how everyone wore masks and the host acted so weird, it's like everyone knew something that Vincent, Re-L and Pino didn't. Like the calm before the storm. I'm really looking forward to this "special surprise announcement" in the next episode. |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| Filler? No I don't think this is a filler episode whatsoever since it gave us so much information regarding the world around Ergo Proxy and how humanity has survived and evolved. And it was a blast to see through the Q Q Q! I enjoyed the sh*t out of it. |
| terrible ep, could barely even keep up with the questions smh |
 |
| I just skipped this... Filler not interesting |
 |
| This episode amazes me. It takes an incredible amount of talent, and genius-level intelligence, to put that much good world-building and information into an episode.... ....and still make it feel like filler so bad even Naruto would be ashamed to air it. |
| pffffff ????!!!!! What was that ??????? |
| EG99 |
 Huh...well, that certainly happened. I'm quite sure a huge amount of plot was disclosed, but...why? It was so unceremonious and offhanded. Was it trying to be funny and quirky? Was it really appropriate for a show like this, or was it done for the juxtaposition between the life or death game and the game show atmosphere present? Also, the implications of broadcasting Vincent Law as being Ergo Proxy, showing Re-l not being dead, talking about the existence of 300 Proxies, and disclosing a number of historical facts that may or may not be fondly remembered by the Romdeau government? Uh, is this going to be brought back up in the future? |
| That was interesting But I just like confused.. Am I watching the right show? xD Boomerang project eh.. 85% lifeforms are destroyed eh Well, the MC is so annoying actually But I think that's pretty close to some of the real variety show MC xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| This episode was just a waste of time. |

Yeah, I know. But the way they delivered the info was really awkward. I felt like I was watching another show. |

| Well that's a quite unique way to info dump the narrative |
 |
| Took me a bit before figuring out that it was a clever way of dumping information on us. So there's acually 300 proxy's that's quite a bit. Also, 85% is a LOT of people ... I wonder if this proxy ... being the game host is just another way of them defeating proxy's? Just like how we saw them defeating the proxy in the previous episode. Vincent is not the brightest though. |
 |
| Well that was... interesting. It surely was entertaining to watch, though I'm not quite sure how it's going to fit into the storyline later. LordOfCinder said: Now, my only concern with this, is that i've watched Ep 16 yesterday and it felt strange that the characters didn't talk about what happened in Ep 15. Apparently they don't even mention it in the next episode, so this episode was like a dream? I guess we can pretend it never happened and it won't affect our understanding of the story. Either way. I agree that it gave us some relevant information, but I feel like it just confused me overall and left me wondering what the heck was going on, hahaha. Definitely a strange episode. |
 |
| For a moment i thought i was watching the wrong show lmao. Anyway it's not completely bad, but not really neccesary either, i guess someone screwed up the schedule and the studio was forced to make this filler. |
| This was a fun way to do world building. But I don't really know if the events in the episode are meant to be taken literally. 300 Proxies, huh. He said 3000 would have been trouble, but the Proxies we have are already a lot of trouble. And I wonder what happened to the evacuation ship (though I may have missed that). |

| This was the worst thing I've ever watched. I don't know how many times I though of skipping it while I was watching but I thought that it may contain something plot relevant so ended up watching till the end after all :/ It did give some info but it was a really horrible way of doing it. |
 「あなたのためなら世界中を敵にしてもかまわない」 "If it was for your sake I wouldn't mind even if I had to turn the whole world into my enemy" |
| Best filler ever? Background info on the world and such was nice. |
| I was really digging this episode up until after the commercial break when it was revealed the "quiz show" was actually taking place and being broadcast via satellite. If it had remained as an abstract, self-contained episode to build on the show's themes, it would have been much better in the end. What a strange show. So often it's just hit or miss. Moments of brilliance and moments of disappointment. |
| I'm just gonna pretend that this episode never exist |
 English is my second language |
| Wtf is this episode? Instant skip. |
 |
| Why is there no poll? ... probably for the best. 5/5 isn't enough for this one. I've been looking forward to this episode. This is why Ergo Proxy is so awesome! Now we know what happened to the earth. LOL Pino drew the pixelated image! Edit: I was wondering how much MAL-hate this one would get... can't say I'm surprised. Also, in case you missed it, the entire episode was a Proxy battle. |
  |
| MAL has the IQ of a peanut sometimes, I swear |
| (x෴x) |
| This is probably the worst episode of anything I've ever watched. |
| "Really?!... Maybe you should try squinting a little Vincent, I've heard it helps" I lost my shit. |
| Well, that was a bizarre episode... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I take back all of the "what the hell is going on" thoughts I had from episodes 1-14. This is a new level of "what the hell is going on" |
| Wow, the ending monologue of the last episode wasn't kidding when they said they would change the format of the show. Not gonna lie, that would have been my answer too. Lol  And is that an Autoriev audience? Haha  We get fanservice. Kinda weird looking, but it's still fanservice nonetheless.  Why are they captured? Lol And of course, Pino is imitating Lil. Haha  How is Vincent so stupid? General knowledge like that is fucking easy! Good bye MCQ. You were the best one episode character ever.  I guess they were using this episode to test if we were paying attention to the plot. Haha |
   |
| did not like this ep either |
 |
| lol this was definitely next level WTF-ness in anime, but I liked it :P |
| I liked this episode for all the background information it gave (at last!) but it was weird af XD |
| This episode was so stupid. It's nice to finally get some vital information, but it could have been handled in a much better way that suits the anime. I skipped through most of it and probably watched maybe 10 minutes total for the vital info :/ |
 |
| What in the absolute fuck just happened... i was actually kinda ok with the exposition dump at first because i thought it was just Vincent having one of those weird ass dreams. But then they showed the broadcast on TV and that this silly shit was somehow actually happening with no explanation whatsoever and that just ruined the whole episode for me. |
