Finished watching Ergo Proxy (2006, Manglobe, 23 epi.) on 4/11/2015.
Humans live in controlled environments protected inside giant domes from the hostile elements of a post-apocalyptic Earth. They are also served by autonomous robots known as AutoReivs. But a recent virus outbreak on these robots has lead Inspector Re-l Mayer into an investigation on the virus. Eventually she comes in contact with a mysterious monster called a Proxy and teams up with two other unlikely characters to travel to a far away city in search of answers about the Proxy she met.
6.5/10 – The only reason I was interested to watch this show was because I kept seeing this broody, gothic girl with blue shadow around her eyes... and I'm a sucker for that. I was disappointed however. The art quality of the show was pretty decent, decreasing it seemed in some of the episodes (probably different animation team)... but everything else was so boring, even the story and concept. There was only one character I cared about and it was basically the show's mascot, who was there to obviously lighten the mood - Pino. A robot little girl. She was cute, funny, and had some backstory. She was more interesting than the show itself. Even the backgrounds were repetitive and dull. Besides Pino though, the opening and closing songs stuck with me. Kiri by Monoral, and Paranoid Android by Radiohead. They were nice and emo. Hmm, yes. I still think Re-l's design is pretty hot.
