The thing that drew me to anime in the first place besides style , it was that writers weren't afraid to raise big questions and make the answers interpretable so that the viewer could have a say.It was the philosophic and psychological elements that made me realize that this medium was to be taken seriously.Ergo proxy is a show that celebrates al those elements, and it does it in style.
Story-9/10
If i could sum up the story of Ergo Proxy in one word it would be EPIC.The show starts as a generic cyber-punk anime only to evolve into more of a dark fantasy set in a
...
distopian and apocalyptic world. The story is more about perception of ones self, and the journey of understanding ones self. Now the story is very character driven and one can argue that as far as plot progress goes mostly 90% of episodes are fillers. The show because of this becomes very complex as viewers sometimes cant tell whats real and whats happening in the characters heads . But i personally enjoyed this but someone else might not.the story manages to explain every hole and does have a somewhat satisfying conclusion and a highly climatic one.
Art-8/10
The backrounds for the show are very beautiful and detailed , also the characters desing are good. The proxy desings are amazing and the last episode has some of the most beautiful images in the anime world. But characters looks and movements were inconsistent and sometimes they looked plain auwful. And I didn't think that it was due to budget cuts or anything but due to laziness , cause ergo proxy looked beautiful when it had to.
Sound-9/10
The soundtract for the show is amazing. The oppening is one of the best I have ever heard and the ending is paranoid android by radiohead, you can't go wrong with that. The soundtrack consists mostly of suthing and beautiful music that fit the show perfectly.The dub is one of the best around and it just sounds right, it was really amazing.
Characters-9/10
Ergo Proxy has some of the most emotionally and mentally broken characters I have ever seen. Wether it is a spoiled detective, a man who seeks answers for his past, robots who acknowledge themselfs and a lot of others. Now i don't want to go to them specifically cause to explain the correctly i would have to spoil a lot and there is nothing in this world i hate mote than spoilers. But i have to say that Pino is one of the cutest and most likeable characters in anime . She ROCKS.
Enjoyment-9/10
As much as the show had some minor flaws i really did enjoy this show from start to finish for the most part. Some information is dumped sometimes which i didn't like. The ending is sometimes confusing but is really legendary. The show has substance and is highly intellectual and I really do recommend this show to anyone who is looking for something mind bending.
So overall i give this show an
9 out of 10.
