AwakenA

I'll try to make this review short and to the point. Something that Ergo Proxy it's self doesn't undertake.

Ergo Proxy, the title alone should give you somewhat of a hint of the anime you will be watching. This anime should by no means be a first series for newcomers.

Now lets just get one thing out of the way. If you are looking for a action-packed, fun, fan-service, random, slice of life series... Don't read any further.

If you want to watch a experimental, mind-bending, thought provoking, complex anime. Ergo Proxy is for you.

Ergo Proxy is not a anime for everyone! It's perhaps one of the bravest endeavors

to make a series I've ever seen. No gimmicks, no looking to sell something.

It stands with only a very few shows that try to make you think, and make you solve a puzzle that has deeper meaning than most will see.

I also believe that this is a anime that should be seen with little knowledge or spoilers given. Reason for that being, it would undoubtly ruin the overall experience of the show. So here is what I think of the series.

It's perhaps one of the best animes I've ever seen. Every character is perfect in the sense that they serve the story and are changing and evolving as the show progresses.

I believe that the hate Ergo Proxy gets is for the fact that it doesn't spell anything out for you. It makes you work to understand it.

The faults(strengths)

It does have is pacing issues. Most will find it far too slow.

It throws far to much for a single watch or seat through. Which I happen to love I end up finding something new about the show every time I watch it.

So most will love or hate, not too many will far in the middle. I suggest that if you are a fan of Serial Expierments of Lain, BladeRunner. Take a stap at this gem.
