Ergo Proxy
altlavista:
smile land was... uh, well to some point good.
anyways. ergo proxy is worth watching. good story, decent characters, nice artwork and sound (god bless seiyus - no retarded voices). i enjoyed it almost all the way. i'm thinking of rewatching it sometime.

I didn't like it because there was too many damn episodes where they were just like "let's just throw some random shit in here that makes no sense for kicks and giggles!"
It was okay. There were way too many bizarre filler episodes though.
I didn't really end up liking it. It's one of the few I actually deleted from my HDD.

I remember reading somewhere that Ergo Proxy was the most messed up and disturbing anime ever and that made me stay away from this title. Is it true? O__O
Well anyways, I decided to give it a shot and downloaded it. I'm gonna watch it on Monday. Any warnings/reminders before I watch this series? I'm not into gore so if there's lots of that here, kindly tell me please. =x

first couple of episodes were great, then it built up some suspence until episode 12-14 or so.That was the point when i thought i would watch an awesome series... but hell not!!! After the episode with the "game" the series turned into some huge bullcrap imho, only to "drag" the plot, slow the pace down even more and give an abrupt ending (and a sloppy explanation) in the last 1.5 episode. I can't understand all this hype going around Ergo Proxy, for me it was one of the worst anime i ever watched (FLCL is still the worst by far). If it was a 13 episode series it would have been really good (even with that abrupt ending). 23 episodes were way too many for that.
I got to admit though that the atmosphere the show has is GREAT with nice background sounds, which at certain points make you get the chills (like the sound of the air in some specific scenes on that boat). Real Mayer is great character (much better than vincent law imo) but a bit undeveloped. First episode is great as well. As much as i ditch this series and as much as it spoiled all the fun for me after about the half of it, i still recommend it to anyone. And when you are done watching it then watch "RahXephon" and "Texhnolyze". Series with same principles more or less with Ergo Proxy, less dark, nice atmosphere and much better than it ! (in my opinion obviously). My personal rating to this series is 4/10. If it weren't for the atmosphere it had in the first half i would give a nice round 0 i think :p

One should not go into Ergo Proxy while expecting some basic "i'm gonna discover my past and my hidden power and then overthrow the overlords" shonen junk. Unless you're willing to scratch the surface and give a bit more of thought, you'll be disappointed.
