Jul 18, 2020
Earth had become un-inhabitable and the remaining humans live in the Utopian domed city of Romdo aided in their lives by autoReiv's, androids that act as anything from butlers to children. However, things in Romdo are not as idyllic as they seem, the AutoReiv's are being infected with a virus that gives them emotions, the ruler is close to death and mysterious monster known as a proxy is on the loose . It falls to Re-l Mayer, a female detective and her friends, Vincent Law, an immigrant and Pino, an autoReiv child to go down to the the dead planet and find out the secrets of the Proxy's.
Ergo Proxy is a philosophical story that is almost always questioning what it is to be human, the story is very slow paced giving the characters time to reflect on what is happening.
There are a few times where the plot seems to contradict its self but these issues are solved by the final episode.
The characters are interesting and the story draws on inspiration from other works such as Pinocchio, the Wizard of Oz and Icarus all mixed together in a dystopian, cyberpunk future.
