Ithink it had something to do with the boomerang project.

I got the feeling that

Raul was more pissed that Vincent had taken Pino. Not sure why, and I could be completely wrong.

Also

I think there may be some relation between those cave people and the "humans" that are being grown in the medical facility at Romdeau. Again, I could be way off. I haven't checked back through the episodes at all.

17 was great. Much better now the story is more immediately relevent.

This sorry a$$ anime went from 10 to 8 in my eyes.... The fillers destroyed it.

wow harsh words fae especially since you still gave it an 8 out of 10.

I don't think these are fillers anyway I think this is the actuall concept of the show. They have to fit the other proxies some how. Plus it seems that the proxies fight the way shown, except Ergo and some others who actually battle.

I dunno, i think the animation quality has gone down substantially in recent episodes as well.

Yeah, the fillers are a little annoying. They seem to have little purpose other than to throw odd bits of information at you. Plus, the uber complicated philosophical stuff that's constantly forced on the viewer is not helping. I mean, it's interesting, sure... If you're doing a philosophy or psychology doctorate. It's not really adding to the anime though, because it just seems to be philosophy for philosophy's sake and it's bogging down the story.

Proxy is still a good anime, but it's nowhere near reaching the potential promised by the first few episodes. Still, you never know, they could still turn it around. If they don't, it'll go down in history as a brave attempt at a true thinkers action series. Not that there's been much action, of course... Rolling Eyes

The only way this anime can redeem itself to a 9 in my eyes now is for the ending to be good.. something like Lil Mayer being in truth a copy of Proxy Monad whom he loved.

Something like that....

yea i agree. Berserk was an amazing series along with the manga too.

but Ergo Proxy yeah hope it won't disappointing but honestly, it's that kinda anime that i really am not putting too much heart on when it pertains to outcomes really. like you said Samurai Champloo was a disappointment..but with interesting choices for an outcome and they screwed that over but :shrug:

I think the problem that this anime has is that the bar was set really high by the hype and the first few episodes. If it had come out of the blue and had a sh*t start, I'm sure we'd all be lauding it as a work of genius by now! Laughing

Even with all the fillers. Wink

Another issue I have with this anime (that I've just thought of!) is that, for a carefully created fictional world, it feels VERY sparsely populated. I'm not talking about the world outside Romdeau here, I'm talking about the minor characters. Sure they've had quite a few over the course of the series, but they all (with the possible exception of Queen who was killed off annoyingly early on) feel very caricatured. They don't feel like characters in their own right, more like they feel like plot devices and sketches to demonstrate how crazy the world is. This makes it very difficult for the viewer to care about what happens to the world...

Hmmm ive been wondering, can Proxy 1 and Ergo Proxy be diff, but then in ep 21...well yeah, also in ep 20, I got so confused. Was it because of the confusion of that dream did he start reacting like the way he was in ep 21? Also I agree with Nef, the quality of the drawings are getting worse, well not declining that much, but a lot diff from the beginning. Also the fillers, although stupid, are trying to throw information at us "subtlely" (emphasis on the subtely)
lol was it becuz Pino ran into the city did all the entourage start going crazy?

Oh yeah I rmb someone asking about why the rocket was fired. Well my theory was that becuz Raul did not want to lose to Vincent (he stole pino and he got away) therefore he tried to destroy Vincent's past, the mosque. Though it was weird how the area shown signs of conflict already (the same auto-reiv in the episode about the fortress were littered inside the throne room, also its spelt auto-reiv, if u look closely in the report when u thot Re-l supposedly died, it said that she was killed by an infected auto-reiv ) Very Happy

Why did the Proxy kill the machine by the way, (the machine remindded me of the old guy in the memory episode)
