Outstanding series

From the first few episodes one could expect a "Ghost in the shell"-clone, but the series quickly deviates from its initial setting and developes a truly unique world and storytelling, which captured me deeply and thouroghly.

The philosophical aspects and religious allegories are presented very well and are explained, praised, questioned and refused all in the same series in a very tolerant manner. Some usual tropes, which the japanese use when it comes to certain religious beliefs are even reversed and shown from the other side of the coin, which i liked very much and what sets this series apart.

Ergo Proxy has further a great atmosphere (vastly enhanced by the use of colors, the music and the overall art style) and two of the greatest and most likeable characters of all time (in my opinion).
