a5c7b9f00b In a post-apocalyptic future humans live in peace with androids in a domed city. However, a strange series of murders has intruded into bored inspector Re-l Mayer&#39;s life. Ergo Proxy was an animated TV series that had the 23 episodes and was televised on the WOWWOW satellite network between February and August in 2006. This story is one of the most literal productions, and it has a higher rating overseas than Japan since its themes are literal, mythological, and philosophical ones. The characters, various themes that are taken up in each episode, and above all things, the screenplay and the background concepts, go above and beyond their intended purposes, and each permeate into the plot enhancing the themes explored in the anime. As it were, together with the principal axis of the main storylinea fiction, the foreshadowing based on the solid theme is heavily tinged with.<br/><br/>Unknown viruses circulate in the air, the land is reduced to ashes, the sunlight is obscured by dust, and people have to live inside a futuristic domed city called &quot;Romdo&quot;. The citizens who live peacefully under this total management system keep clinging to the compliant &quot;fellow citizen&quot;. They coexist AutoReiv, very human-like androids, which perform the duties in which humans are otherwise incapable of. Meanwhile, immigrants are treatedlower classes in Romdo, so they are forced to live their shadowed lives, struggling with becoming the &quot;fellow citizen&quot;. One day, a virus plaguing androids called &quot;Cogito&quot; flourishes in Romdo, and then the infected AutoReiv get out of control burning up or harbouring a human-like emotion. Whilst Re-l, the granddaughter of Donov Mayer who is the Regent of Romdo, investigates the AutoReiv infected by &quot;Cogito&quot; virus, she comes across a mysterious monster, the &quot;Proxy&quot;, in her room like an abandoned building.<br/><br/>Vincent Law, an immigrant coming from Mosk, travels with Pino, an infected companion type AutoReiv, after he saved her from being scrapped due to her infection by &quot;Cogito&quot;. Vincent is falsely charged with a mass murder by the &quot;Proxy&quot;, and then he escapes to the outside world of the dorm with Pino. Whilst Re-l doubts that there is somehow a relation between Vincent and Proxy, she also goes out of the city following him. The illusory journey to look for the existential reason of &quot;Proxy&quot; and Vincent starts…<br/><br/>An unexpected ending is led by pursuing, &quot;What is Proxy&quot;,&quot;What is the pulse of awakening&quot;, and &quot;the psychological, philosophical, ideal and mythological keywords which are accumulatively imprinted over the episodes&quot;.<br/><br/>The screenplay is stupendously provocative with the great scenario. Also, &quot;Paranoid Android&quot; by Radiohead, continues to fascinate the audience whilst sneering for the expansive delusion-ish story, and asking the existential reason of Gods (since there is another interpretation that &quot;Rain down&quot; can be deemed&quot;Reign (down)&quot; in the lyrics). What is very special about this anime is that while many animes are focused around philosophical themes this one goes very deep. It doesn&#39;t only have references to many philosophical themes it really bases on many of them.<br/><br/>It is really heavy-wight and because of its omnipresence it is very hard to not get too confused with all this topics. Without basic knowledge many things would appear pretty pain. Especially the first half of the series could be pretty hard. Many things seem to be very plain. Also the way this anime &#39;describes&#39; the characters are so well-thought that I thought about stopping to watch it. The style of how the characters personalities are described is pretty unique and hard to describe especially if I don&#39;t want to tell too much. I can just assure that the anime isn&#39;tplainit looks in first place. It&#39;s ironic that the reason for the characters and the story seem to be plain is the very same reason they achieve an incredible depth. So it really work looking it. Even if you usually do not look animes.
