Review of Ergo Proxy

Ergo Proxy (2006– )
7/10
Starts great but fades towards the end.

Warning: Spoilers
2006 Anime 23 episodes. In a future world where the earth's environment has been decimated, the only living places are enclosed cities which have little to do with each other. In Romdeau city, robots are becoming infected with a virus that makes them self aware and some end up killing humans. Even stranger is a monster that is appearing and chasing a man named Vincent Law. Re-l Mayer is assigned by her authoritarian yet decrepit grandfather and the talking statue leaders to investigate. This series is at times exciting, mysterious, and confusing. Some of the confusion becomes frustrating when it is apparent the writers have the characters be deliberately vague or cryptic with their answers or when explanations are slow in coming. The series slows down towards the end and adds some episodes that are out of character with the series. The final episodes explanations are not believable when you think about it. The main character created the enormous Romdeau city. How exactly?

Don't let this review discourage you from watching and enjoying the best parts of Ergo Proxy. It has some very good episodes. Favorite Character: Pino. Irritating characters: everyone else. And what's the deal with the talking statues?
