Summary: |
In a future where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear apocalyse, there exists salvation in a domed city named "Romdo", where humans and their android servants, the AutoReiv, live in. Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Re-l Mayer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdo. |

"Ergo Proxy"'s plot starts out promising but gets a bit boring around the middle. I feel like this series could have been a lot better if it hadn't been 23 episodes long.
The beginning is really good, the ending's good but it's all the filling in between that bothers me. It can't just be skipped either because you have to see some of the events.
Usually I would downrate conversations that are complex and hard to follow but this is one of "Ergo Proxy"'s strong points. I often only realised the meaning of some things a couple of episodes later. I might enjoy this anime just as much if I watched it a second time because of all the details I missed but I doubt I'll ever rewatch this.
The animation isn't the best and can be a bit inconsistent at times. Sometimes characters will look different from far away or from a different angle. Maybe it doesn't deserve a '3' but giving it a '4' wouldn't be fair to the other anime with that rating.
I can't say I didn't enjoy "Ergo Proxy" but I felt like some episodes were a waste of time. If you like this kind of sci-fi mystery, you should watch it but otherwise this wouldn't be one of the first things I'd recommend.
