| Nah, if you think about it the episode isn't that much of a mindfucker.... still a great one ;] LoL. Reveals the secret about split personalities. In an exaggerated way.... |

| Because the last episode totally wasn't weird enough. |
| Loved it. Vincent in another suits and outlooks. Who doesn't not want to be inside Re-L? And I laughed out loud because of Spanish dub, when Ergo Proxy cried at the end of the dream. http://www.mediafire.com/?mmoewzyzrht <---- Scene here. Enjoy it! |
| It's a coincidence that my psychology class is studying dissociative identity disorder and this episode of Ergo Proxy includes said disorder. Very interesting episode and just like everyone has said.... very confusing. @_@;; |
 |
| So i'm guessing he was being mind fucked by another proxy? And the proxy was revealing to Vincent what his own subconscious was fearing? |
| Seemed another proxy attack to me, this time to Vincent conscience. He just understands it when he remember that re-l didn't had a pendent. I agree with you, very confusing, a episode that need to be re-watched. |
 |
| Well it's clear each time a strange world or situation comes up that it is the work of a Proxy so I'm no longer confused at the start of the episode. This certainly helps in trying to deduce what's going on in the episode but this one was very strange nonetheless. I managed to figure out that the doctor was the Proxy but I didn't really understand her intentions or methods until the very end. |
 |
| Someone please call 911, my mind was just brutally raped!!! |
 |
| I loved how crazy this episode was XD. Note to self: Every weird episode in Ergo Proxy is a mindfuck or another proxy 030. Love this series! Aww, Real and Vince becoming fiances <3 |
| Whut. D: |
| Where do i even begin to ask questions? Another Proxy invade Vincents brain, inputs thoughts on killing Re-l and the two pendents act like some mind tranfer thing.....AWWWW, tell me it was all in Vincent's thoughts! |
| First i was "WTF is going on??" O_O then after Vincent said that Swan was also a Proxy i knew that they were still on the ship and this was just another illusion (>.<)" |
| Ummm... I may have to schedule an appointment with my therapist after this one... I wasn't sure what to expect after episode 19, but this puts my head into just the right spin to accept... well... just about whatever comes next! : ) I must say, series that hurt my brain because I'm trying to figure out what happened are waaaaaay better than series that hurt my brain because of frenetic girl-fight punchout laugh-riot upskirt car chases.. although, there's a place for that :3= |
| Wow, it was confusing along the way but at the end I thought was great mindfuck! LOL As if the last episode was not enough to remind of the other films, this reminded in turn of John Cusack's 2003 film,"Identity" where Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is the key element of the plot. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I guess that was Vince's premonition or a dream caused by the fear of being betrayed. |

fukushi said: I guess that was Vince's premonition or a dream caused by the fear of being betrayed. THat's deep. |
| I read in the discussion on episode 19 that someone was glad they had reviews so they were prepared to deal with the plot twists. I have heard that Ergo Proxy starts out good but fizzles out by the end. I wonder if episode 19 was the start of the end, because I didn't like that one or this one. |
| And lsot interest again... |
 |
| Totally mindscrewed! But nonetheless, a very great episode!! Was really lost when Lil/Vince kept on switching personalities until Vincent knew that Swan is a another proxy which I refused to believe before it was revealed coz the events felt plausible for the storyline. Also, this ep showed Vincent's fear and desires. :) |
Forough said: Great episode. portraying Vincent's fears of what might happen and how he wishes things to be. That sir had explained me the reason behind this ep..Not cxonfused now |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| Interesting episode. I wonder if Swan was also the one who got into Pino's dream. |
waterfall said: Because the last episode totally wasn't weird enough. Lol, my thoughts exactly. |
BalloonTwister said: Interesting episode. I wonder if Swan was also the one who got into Pino's dream. I want to say that was a different Proxy. The Proxy that was in Pino's dream didn't even want to meet Vincent but this episode's Proxy confronted him. Still...my mind hurts from this episode, I actually understood Pino's dream episode more than this one and both involved Proxies invading the mind but Pino's was more straightforward. |
| Better than Inception movie. Same mindfuck as Fight Club. |
 |
| This was damn confusing and hard to follow. But I suppose that's how this show is. |
 |
| holy shit what just happened here. LOL It was like another episode 14 with the doppelgangers. It was either another Proxy attack or it is Vincent's sub consciousness that is a borderline to his human side and his proxy. Maybe it is neither LMAO Good lord ....... :| I've been brutally mind raped D: |
| Ah, a dream. Good episode none the less. |
| Man all these proxies and their mindraping @_@ and then the dissociative personality thing. My poor brain cannot handle all this psychological stuff. Must re-watch to understand. |
| I didn't find this all that confusing. At least, relatively speaking. The whole series has been rife with this sort of very abstract clue dropping. It was pretty cool to see Vincent's ideal world, which was the sort of place in which you'd expect to hear the phrase 'happily ever after'. As usual though, more questions are presented than answered... |
| Don't know if it was a dream or not, but until now the only reason why I keep watching it's Re-l and Pino, I am not thinking it is so amazing as people say... |
 |
| A bit confusing but good. |
 |
| Damn that was good. I'm kind of glad it was just a dream. |
 |
| Brilliant. Vincent's fears and dreams are vividly portrayed. I wonder what his past is like to be so incredibly hidden, even in his subconcious. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Didn't like this episode, getting annoyed with it, there is only 3 episodes left now to tie everything up and this episode didn't show us any plot. It was ok, but i dont really think it was very necessary. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Claiming this episode to be 'confusing' is more disturbing than the episode itself. Almost immediately it was hinting at proxy-attack. 10 minutes in I was 100% sure. At the end, it bloody says so. What is there to be confused about? EDIT : the episode was also pretty much a filler. If it was concealed better that it was a proxy-attack and not giving it away immediately, it would have been a great filler. As it was however, it was mediocre. It gave some insight into Vincent and was mildly interesting to see how he would win the fight. |
| His fantasy was kind of funny . . . I feel like this is going to end with everyone dying though. |
