Sometime in the distant future, Humanity has managed to survive, but only in isolated cities and through the use of cloning and robotic servants called AutoReivs. Life in the cities are strictly controlled by management dedicated to preserving their 'utopian' way of life.
But something is causing the AutoReivs to become independent and is driving them to seek to escape the city. Re-l Mayer, an inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, learns that the awakenings of the ‘autoraves’ is caused by an encounter with something called a Proxy. In seeking to learn more, Re-l stumbles into a secret that management is desperately trying to hide and will go to any lengths to keep suppressed...
This show is awesome in almost every way possible. Beautiful animations blended with a deep story and strong, interresting and growing characters. I wanted to see more and more and often found myself watching 5-6 episodes in a row, until reluctantly, earlier today, I finished the serie, effectively leaving me with a void -- partially so because all questions aren't answered, but I always end up feeling a little empty once I've finished with a serie.
This is one I'll get back to eventually though. The philosophic nature of Ergo Proxy is on a level I haven't seen before, and it has been an interresting experience.

*FINALLY*, an anime I recognize [and love]! After months of stalking, I didn't think you'd ever get to one that I've seen.. Oi.. @_@

I'm always open to suggestions, you know that. ;)
But I have seen more animes than I have reviewed, I just haven't had the time or energy or had the right words come to me to write one.. *sighs*
Plus, most of the more recent ones have more or less been ecchi, and they seem to have the same basic storyline, with a few variations.. ;)
I'll try and finish a few more, among those you'd find Chrono Crusade and Claymore, two really good series (imo). :)
