Episode 2

whoa, so that small guy was the big cry baby proxy? That was unexpected... Only onto second episode, and they're already sky rocketing the body count. So much carnage and death, this reminds me of Texhnoloyze.

Pretty good second ep. Answers some questions but raises even more at the same time.

The Proxy from the beginning of the first ep (let's call him Proxy1) is so VICIOUS! He just ploughed right through all those people and even that mother and her baby. I really cringed when that happened

well few things were expected. The huge coverup and denial was pretty text book. Kinda laughed when the proxy ripped through the mall area. Good luck in the future keeping the incident covered up.

Find out who the second proxy is which was a surprise. All in all second episode was pretty good. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Hehe, yes episode 1 was a bit confusing. Episode 2 becomes better, and then WHAM episode 3 is awesome. Just finished watching the raw, and it was truly a good one. Not to mention something new is added.
AN OPENING!!!!

gorgeous artwork and paranoid android as the ending.... could it get any better? yes, how about a coherent plot... PLEASE (it's still to early to tell). Remember speed grapher? lol..

Even from years of listening to Radiohead's Paranoid Android, I could not figure out what that computer-like voice in the background was saying... Now I know thanks to the subtitles... "I may be paranoid, but I am not an android" Embarassed

http://www.ergoproxy.com/ Here is the website for Ergo Proxy. Unfortunately, I do not speak japanese. If any of you fans who do and have a moment to cruise the site and happen by the names of the voice actors written in japanese in the site, I would be very grateful if you would PM it to me.

I am also interested in the names of any of the staff involved. I have been trying to build the STUDD for this anime for a while now and I am unfortunately at a dead end of resources.

Thanks.

Whoa, episode 3 was crazy. Didn't realize Vincent had such a big part in the series. Hope they fabsub episode 4 quick because this is quickly becoming my favorite anime this year.

Did anyone else notice that they don't really continue in the new episodes from where they finished in the previous episode? As in the final scene in epsisode 1 (Proxy vs the Monster in Lil's bathroom) was only partly shown in a flashback in episode 2 and they didn't even have a flashback in episode 3 for the chase between Vincent and Proxy from episode 2! I hope they don't keep doing this because it disrupts the flow of the series from episode to episode, it feels like I've missed something when I start watching a new ep.

Ep 3 was sweet. Got a glimpse of the "outside" infected world and Vincent's got himself a cute little sidekick ^^. I'm a little confused though... is Vincent actually that monster from the first ep that drooled and cried over Lil? if he wasn't then why was Proxy chasing through the mall in ep 2 and what the hell happened to that oh-so-promising chase?

lmao kidder they dont show the fight scenes. At this point in time the actual fighting is irrelevant to the storytelling. The fact they fight is the only important part. The fighting will come later.

ep 3
vicent leaves the city with an "infected" auto-rave. Apparently the city is floating so i'd expect other cities to also exsist. Think lil realises now that vincent is the 2nd proxy as he was changing into one at the end of 3.

Going to be interesting to learn what's outside the city.

this takes an interesting twist... somehow i wonder who is the main character in this one. Vincent, or Lil...

and i wonder where they are going to take this one now... seeing Vince loses his trust on Lil, and Lil loses her one source of info...

i'm pretty happy so far with what's happened. They're not dragging anything out and the story continues on. lil is probly the main, but there are other important chars as well. Also who's to say that:

vincent is actually dead. What does it take to kill a proxy?

KFM, you fail badly. For one,

We do not know whether or not vincent is really the second proxy. We do not know if the second proxy is really a proxy. What we do know, is that Vincent has had contact with Vincent. At the very end of episode 3, Vincent did not start turning into Proxy, he mearly OPENED HIS EYES. He kept his eyes shut, because his face with his eyes shut would give him the face of an "ideal citizen". But, now, since he is no longer a citizen, he can open them up. Read the very last few lines carefully, he says "I could not become an ideal citizen in the end".

To kidder:
not showing the continuence from episode 2 into episode 3 increases suspense for the veiwer, which was the ultimatel goal i believe. They wanted the veiwer to feel intimidated into watching, because they do not know whether or not vincent is really proxy.

To Willxzero:
This series is being fansubbed at an alarming rate already. Episode 4 hasnt even aired.
