Ergo Proxy

All i have to say was HOLY SHIT. this show looks like its going to be AWSOME!
Now, since i really have no idea of whats going on yet( have great petintual) i will steal from ANN

Plot Summary: In a world where humans and androids, known as autoraves, live in relative peace, there exists a domed city named "Romudo". Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Lir Mayer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autorave partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romudo.

It is deffently for the more mature audience...

The animation is SMOOTH, SEXY and KICK ASS, the charator design looks very simaler to WHR, but if you didnt like that, dont let this discurage you. THIS SHOW LOOKS AWSOME!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok this show looks really promising. The amimation is AMAZING. The quality is excellent and the characters seem interesting. I can't wait for episode 2!

How ya doing, buddy?

I had a thread following the progress of this anime a while back.

Anyway... Now that I've seen the first episode I can say that my expectations were more than exceeded. The story is as concealed as possible and the animation is top notch. As if that wasn't enough, Det. Lil Meier is one assertive and sexy figure; that alone is good enough to keep me watching this.

I can't wait until episode 2.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anime certainly looks promising, although the first episode kind of leaves you dazed and confused about the plot. But yes, the anime looks great, although Lil (or Lir w/e floats your boat) reminds me of Evanescence.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I watched the first episode the other day. I really had no idea what was going on the entire time.

That's what I don't like about some animes. I wish they would at least give a little back story to what things are before they start diving right into the story. I didn't know what those robot things were or this disease that seems to be infecting them. I don't know what Lil is doing, what she is working for or who she is searching for. I don't know what those things that jumped down at the end of the episode were.

That being said, I think it is very beautifully done and has an environment that could breed great potential. I'll have to wait and see a few more episodes and hope that the plot takes better shape. There isn't much that I'm watching right now, so I will probably be keeping an eye on this.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just watched the first episode....I must agree it does look like it has potental. I've been waiting to see this after someone posted the link to the site on the Samurai Champloo community on LJ. Personaly, I kind of like first episodes not having a backstory...but like I said its just me.

It's kind of like Ghost in the Shell meets Witch Hunter Robin meets I Robot....that is if you can compare it to anything. Can't wait for the second episode !

Most amazing jew boots

this anime is alright. i just hope it gets better. i mean who hasn't seen a girl with a gun before? but if its the creator of champloo like it says in the site then i'll try to watch it some more.

FELIPE NO

I'll be getting the first episode later today, and expect that more groups grab it, unless it's licensed already. Still, the trailer looks just too awesome to let it skip. Probably the most interesting series this season.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I noticed... Let's never bring this up again. OK?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lucy, it was pre-liscensed, but I still think that there will be enough groups to take it on. I'm waiting for Anime-Kraze, who'll also do it, I think, since they released the trailer. Let's just hope that the licenser won't go around sending C&D letters.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not even really an anime fan of sorts (I've only watched one other anime which would be Chobits) but ever since seeing that girl in somebody's signature AGES ago I've been mildly interested. I'm getting episode 1 right now; will report back after it's done and I've watched it =)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I thought it was okay, the only exceptional thing was of course the animation. I didn't like Champloo as much as I thought I would, but this is a totally different everything, so I hope this one is better then Champloo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I saw the preview episode that aired which I'm guessing was the first episode.
The flow of the animation was great and the similarities with champloo were definitly noticible. I just hope the story doesn't get too boring or complicated becuase only the animation is memorable.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just watched the first episode. As everyone said, the animation is great. But I'm not sure if I'll actually like the series. I usually don't mind most, in fact I'm rather fond of, "dark" or "mature" anime (or however you'd call it). But judging from the first episode it's probably not going to be the most memorable anime I've seen, though if it'll turn out great or no good for me is probably something I won't be able to tell until I've seen a few more episodes.

Of course I might be completely wrong, I suppose the first episode isn't always a very good indication of how the others will be.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Warning : this is high quality. I waited long for this anime, and it's even better than I expected. Looks like a little bit Aeon Fluxish, with a bit of Blade Runner. First episode approved.

How ya doing, buddy?

when i saw the first episode, didn't really put me in awe like they did with champloo. when i saw the first episode of Ep, im all "i see..well i hope the rest of it gets better" . You can expect anything thats coming out of this anime cause we've seen something like it. designs,etc is good. i hope the story doesn't equal the same shit like aeon flux or blade runner u.u..

also : the ed theme is out.. the ED is ok..

I don't think it's the creator of Champloo (Shinichiro Watanabe), I think it's just the production company, Manglobe.

Well Murase and Sato did Storyboard, Episode Director and Script respectivly for Champloo and Onda did charator design for WHR(like i said the charactor design looks like WHR's ) But yes, the Main Director and Screenplay both worked on Champloo, so you can say in a way it is from the creators of Champloo...

Just watched this, didn't really know what was going on, but the art does look very nice indeed. Reminded me of Aeon Flux strangely, and maybe its just me but that image in the first post reminds me of Natsuki from Mai Hime heh. Hopefully the future episodes won't be as confusing as more of the plot is revealed.

I finished the first episode and I'm really not too sure what's going on. I found that Karas was easier to follow. Sure the visuals are nice, but I'm probably going to put this on the back burner for now. It's not bad, but perhaps I'm not quite in the mood for this series now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just got finished with the first episode myself and I thought it was awesome. It started off pretty disjointed and confusing, but after the first 10 minutes or so it got on track and I loved it.

I'll definitely be following this one. I'm the opposite of Spatula at the moment. I'm coming off of Ichigo Mashimaro and following KashiMashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~, so a hot, gun toting girl with awesome make-up is just what I needed

Oh, and the credits sequence?

Spoiler:

As soon as I heard "Paranoid Android", I shouted "AW HELL NAW!" Good stuff.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I watched the first episode with no sound and no subs (pretty much skimmed through). The animation was indeed nice, but given my current situation I can't say anything about the story.

Geneon doesn't normally skimp on animation (see: Eureka seveN), but there's always that small possibility that this'll be one of those series where the first episode has brilliant animation but the following episodes have some of the worst animation seen in an anime (see: Speed Grapher).

Let's just hope they didn't bust their budget on episode one.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just skimmed through the first episode and it looks pretty good.
Nice animation although some scenes are too dark to see what's going on, like in the beginning.
The credit roll is something new and interesting too.

FELIPE NO

I just got it and I have to say I'm imressed. Creators of Samurai Champloo are like insurance for the great plot and awesome action in Ergo Proxy. Main character Rill is sexy and so... miesterius. Cold and furious... I love her =D!!

What about FanSub releases? Witch are the best cause I don't want to mix release and get all episodes made by one FanSub team. I have:

[Y-F&A-U] Ergo Proxy 01 [FF7BBBA2].avi

There are: [Jelly caption team], [Kiavik], [AU], [DS-WZF] and a lot more...

So witch one is the best?
