Report Amphetamine's Profile

I'm due for a re-watch of the series myself! I'm doing the review in a video on vid.me because as of right now the Anime and Manga community on there is pretty small. I hope that maybe some people on here will join me over there because it's a pretty new website (2015?) but it's SO CUTE I would love to see the Anime community grow.

I like your idea of the plot but how would I present the plot in a way that it was informative but not so full of spoilers that people wouldn't bother to watch Ergo Proxy?

I might be a little biased because I love the suspense/grudge/mystery/philosophical/psychological thriller kind of anime. Paranoia Agent is up there on my personal fav list too.

Brief (because I am long-winded ;) ):
As far as Ergo Proxy goes

what first drew me to it was it's unique art style. Manglobe has a way of producing things with color schemes, textures, and angles that I find really magnetic. It is a visually impressive anime.

With the story - the contrast from where you start, in a seemingly self contained utopian society; to the end where, depending on your train of thought while watching, you are left with more questions than answers. I think is just beautiful because the end wasn't fully satisfying and I like that. Huge topics are integrated seamlessly into the plot but at the same time things are introduced and left for the viewer to discern.

From a lost identity, a forgotten life, unrequited feelings, religion, sickness, and death. Even though this anime carries a heavy weight with it, it also has a softness and a feeling of humanity when you see the characters journey and how they become closer together as time goes on. It has a subtle ebb and flow with how negative aspects and positive aspects of the characters lives mesh.

The thing is that if I were to review this anime I wouldn't know where to start. I could probably do an analysis of each dome because gosh are those domes rich in culture/story.

I thought Ergo Proxy was intricate anime with an odd, but strangely addicting, way of taking the viewer through the story. A story that you can read REALLY deep into.

If you were doing an Ergo Proxy review what would be your main focus?

Hiya!

Hello! nice to meet you! :)

Oh how I wish I could read that novel! I've actually thought about trying to track down a copy and hire someone to translate it for me. But sadly, I haven't read it. Back when Island was still being published, I ran a small forum where we had quite a few people passionately discussing the series (those were great times, seriously). We talked a lot about that novel and one member had a copy of it but was extremely limited in how much Korean she could read. She told us about a few bits she understood, but I don't know how accurate she was and I honestly don't remember much of what she told (the forum has been gone for years).

Anywho, yeah, nice to meet another Island fan! I've been trying to convince more people to read it for ages.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I don't check this very often. But yes, I'm the owner of clinically-cynical.com.
