I can understand that.
Good characters, good storyline, nice animation, some pretty awesome backgrounds, just to name a handful of the things that "Ergo Proxy" has going for it.
I reckon I may just rate this fairly high myself, it may even make it into 'the Nine' group on my MAL.
I haven't rated anything 10.....yet.
The anime that I rate a 10 will have to be beyond awesome, in my mind at any rate.
froody1911:
Hmm, yep, I don't have any 10s either, except for Usagi Drop, but that only has 2 episodes so far. I have a couple of 9.5s (which I have to rate 9 because MAL is a bitch). The closest I came to rating 10 so far was Detroit Metal City, but that lost points for being over too quickly.
Micharus:
Heh, tip for people checking my MAL...... if it doesn't have a rating, it just means I couldn't be bothered at the time.
If I rate it UNDER 5, don't even bother, it's worse than rubbish.
However, if I rate it 9, it's an anime you should definitely take a look at.
I know that ratings are all relative, but yeah if I rate an anime that high, you can pretty much guess there is something extra good about it.

Here it is, the "Ergo Proxy" review!
The main characters, or rather the characters that the story for this anime move around are;
Vincent Law, an 'immigrant' from the city dome of 'Mosque'.
Lil Mayer, the granddaughter of the 'Administrator' of the the city dome of 'Romdeau' and also an Inspector of the 'Citizen Intelligence Bureau'*
Pino, a cute girl type 'autorave'.
The time is the far distant future.
At some point in the past there has been a catastrophic event of some sort that has laid waste to the Earth, making it mostly uninhabitable.
Humanity, such as it is, live in 'city domes'.
We discover that each and every person is accompanied by an 'Autorave' (a sort of bio mechanical robot), classed either as a 'Companion' or a 'Entourage'.
We also find out that the autoraves are being infected by the 'Cognito Virus', which alters the way they respond to humans, sometimes in a negative manner.
Eventually, Lil comes face to face with a Proxy, a kind of 'super being' that seems to be invulnerable to normal attacks.
Lil is tasked with capturing Vincent Law, who has decided that he can't become a 'model citizen' and must therefore escape from Romdeau.
Along the way, he meets up with Pino, an autorave that has the appearance of a little girl.
Pino has been infected with the Cognito Virus, but it hasn't changed her much, she just believes that she now has a 'heart'.
Vincent and Pino eventually escape from Romdeau and after a number of adventures, they leave on the 'Rabbit', a wind powered vessel.
There isn't too much more I can write about Ergo Proxy without spoiling it, due to events that happen fairly early in the anime.
The artwork is pretty nice, but the overall mood is generally dark, despite Pino being wonderfully cute all over the place.
The characters grow on you, and they grow as well, showing sides you never thought could exist for them.
Lil is tsundere, more tsun than dere, but I grew to like her, while Vincent was mostly a wimp, except for when push came to shove and eventually came out of his shell due to various hardships.
Pino is.... well she 'learns' a few 'emotions' and we, the watchers, could learn a few things from her. Mostly Pino is the 'Little Girl' that all little girls are or should be.
The last episode is definitely the end, pretty much everything is tied up in a nice neat package, but there is a small opening left for a second season, although I seriously doubt it will happen.
This is worth watching, although episode 15, left me a bit blah, it was almost like the writer for the series went insane for 30 minutes.
Going to watch the second season of Minami-ke.

So Ergo Proxy isn't as dark & moddy as you might have expected? If so is it watchable?
