Ergo Proxy Review

Written by Samastatic on July 13, 2010 at 7:53 AM

Ergo proxy is a dark anime constructed in yet another post apocalyptic world. It takes a few episodes for the story to develop, but from the initial episode, you can feel that this anime is a little bit grimy and very dark. This is portrayed through not only dialogue but the use of morbid colours in the animation.

The Story centres itself around a detective in a government agency, investigating murders of humans and also there robotic servants. It depicts an elitist community, in which not all people are equal. Eventually supernatural drama involves itself and the story begins to make more sense and becoming more engaging.

The ending is somewhat confusing at best, I was left in a similar state of mind to that of the aftermath of Evangelion. As with most animes, a lot is lost in translation, if you are able to read japanese while not able to keep up to listening to it, I would recommend finding japanese subs.

All in all, the series is different to a lot of other post apoc animes, and has quiet good character development over the season. It is very watchable and I would recommend it to people who enjoyed Evangelion and Elfen Lied.
