| Simply amazing. So the idiots living inside the dome don't even know there is an outside world? Hilarious. |
 |
| Hoody kind of annoys me =_= Timothy! Noo don't die. He hasn't done anything wrong and isn't even annoying like the rest of the people at the commune. Quinn is definitely going to go on a rampage. I really want to know what's the connection between Vincent and proxies. I almost clicked the spoiler button when I was on his character page, but I restrained myself from doing so. STILL. I am so very cuuurious. This anime has got me hooked. |
| This shit is getting pretty good |
 |
| Great stuff. Hoody's madeup stories and interactions with the kids were pretty hilarious, which is strange for this series. And now Re-l won't be able to return to Romdo without getting in trouble with her grandpa. |

| Poor Timothy=( Its rare for me to feel sad for a side character thats barely had any screen time but that was quite sad. Made even sadder because Peno was completely oblivious to what had actually happened to him. Zell182 said: Funny thing is its actually partly Hoodys fault he died, he told them to go play somewhere else, shooing them away outside, even ignoring a warning from one of the villagers telling him there were patrols seen where he had sent them running off, although obviously Vincent is also partly responsible because the sentry's were sent for him.That Fuudy (or Hoody?) old man was just too scared of the outside world rather than wanting to protect the people in the commune. Now that Timothy is dead there's going to be some problems for Vincent and Re-l. |
 |
| damn what is with this show and killing young kids ;( poor timothy!! obv there is a big connection with vincent and the proxies but im not holding my breath with it being 23 episodes aha! |
| That would definitely be a shitty way to find out your son was dead . . . |

| Nooo Timothy! :( |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| These characters are starting to annoy me. All Vincent can do is cry around, and Re-L is an obnoxious brat whose sole purpose in life is being obsessed with Vincent and not giving a shit about anyone else. |
 |
| Ah Timothy died :( |
  |
| 2 kids dead already? This show has balls; I like it. |
| Im starting to love their facial expressions and hte inevitability of their actions! The plot goes on either they want it or not ! =] |
 |
| This show gives me chills. The pacing and story are working so well. I want more information, but instead new things keep popping up. These types of anime can be tiring until the point where there is a reveal to connect some dots, but Ergo Proxy is still engaging while still developing the atmosphere. I'm so curious about... basically everything, but I don't feel like I'm being teased by withheld information, and that's a difficult feat to accomplish for any story. |
| It was interesting how the guy manipulated everyone to believe his story. |
 |
| I don't know how to feel about Hoody, but as of now, I don't think I'm liking him. The story isn't confusing, it just doesn't tell us major things that should be explained later... Like what are Proxies? What Is Vincent? What relations does he have with Proxies? Questions who will not be answered anytime soon. But, I'm not enjoying this communee arc that much. |
| Hmmm seriously mind boggling. Is the proxy a different thing or one and the same as Vincent ? What happened with the clean-up ? I see only Timothy dead here. Pino still doesn't realize he's dead. |
| I got kind of annoyed with Hoody and his lying. But then I started to feel bad for him and the villagers when he was like, "Are soldiers really coming? What are they going to do to us?" I felt a pang of sympathy, I mean damn, what an unfair situation to be in. Hoody and the villagers thought they were going to finally go back to Romdo, only for it to be shot down and pushed aside by Re-L, like they were nothing but a bunch of ants. Like their life meant nothing and it didn't matter whether they lived or died. That would be such bs, I mean these people have probably already put up with so much **** already having to deal with this corrupt government of Romdo and now it's all in vain, because they are about to be slaughtered like they are nothing. Hmph, reminds me of the governments and military in real life... |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| Wow, I liked Re-l a little bit until this episode where she was willing to just leave them all to certain death and didn't seem to care 1 bit.... Hopefully her character grows a bit or I don't see anything really redeeming in her character.. Also, RIP Timothy ;_; |

Hmph, reminds me of the governments and military in real life... Its a sweet lie..he just wants to keep peace and prevent chaos.. Which is what happens now sadly. It wont ever go back to how it was..he wasnt a bad man per se... Tho lies wont last forever... They would find out eventually. Sad episode and I felt for them.. And lil who just wants to let them die and save vincent.. And vincent has something which the proxies are after it seems |
 |
| Oh, Pino is supposed to be a rabbit. ...Why am I suddenly dreading an Alice in Wonderland reference? Oh, and, uh, second dramatic child death and we're 5 episodes in. And this is on top of the massacre of defenseless vagrants. Huh. |
| Not Timothy :( The one that writing story for this anime is a monster... He/she really didn't like children eh? |
"Signature removed"   |
| I have a feeling Quinn is going to blame Re-L for the death of Timothy. Not sure what to make of this episode, glad we get to see Re-L in the wasteland though. |
 |
| I like that Re-l isn't a girl scout. She is very pragmatic so while she probably has some sympathy for the commune, she's more concerned (or obsessed) with getting the truth out of Vincent. It's also satisfying how she's gradually coming undone: she's lost some of her privileges, her suit was destroyed just now so she's infected, and she's freaking the hell out. It's cool that her rebellious activities have had some consequences, even though she's a princess. Poor Hoody eventually lost his composure, too. He may not have been completely full of it when talking about the proxy, as the remaining proxy has been inside of Vincent this whole time, and only emerged out of him once he hit the water. I expected it to help them defeat the drones, but I guess not. Is Pino discovering art? And yeah, it's messed up that so many kids die in this show. Though there is probably some point to it, from a storytelling perspective.  |
| Does the show expect us to become emotionally attached to characters that we have barely known for one episode? Honestly, though, it seems better at comedy and looking cute than what I think it's striving for. |
| What the hell Quinn, the first thing you're supposed to do when under attack is look for your kid. |
 |
| Something about rabbits... (I know what it is) |
  |
How the hell is she moving the ears of that onesies??? Pino speed drawing really reminds me of "I, Robot" where Sonny drew a picture of his dream super fast with both hands. Quinn looks like Sei Sakuraoka form Gantz if she wore Samus' Zero suit.   Oh shit! Those kids must be ninjas or somthin'. They just disappear!  Oh man, this one hits me hard as a parent. I can't imagine how Quinn must feel. Poor Timothy. And he just found a friend in Pino too.  |
   |
Well, these 2 scenes were funny, the usagi girl was quite annoying. I thought they had sex at the first scene.  The boy had his death flag for him when his drawing flew off. And I still don't understand anything, but this series is as cool as hell. The doctor must be making things up, but based on what the girlfriend of Rel said, he does know something and likes china boy for same reason. BTW, 400 rabbits from Aztec?? Only Moody can make such vague references that even Cap Am won't understand. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |

| I would have thought the few survivors that managed to make a life outside the dome would be pretty street smart, but all of them aside from Quinn were so easily deceived by Hoody's extravagant lies. They're so gullible - I'm amazed. |
| Vincent's eye's are closed for a reason. He refuses to see something. Timothy's death was a chance to show Pino that there's a cost to being human. Rea-l is pushy because she's frustrated. Romdo has secrets that no one will tell her, everyone seems to expend all their energy to keep anything from happening, and Vince, the only catalyst for change, shows all the backbone of a dishrag. Hoody is just scared. I love this show because the characters are so well-developed, each has his own strengths and weaknesses and motivations and secrets. It's fun to see them revealed as the show progresses. |
 There are two types of anime - almost as good as Elfen Lied, and not as good as Elfen Lied. |
| i dont get it whats wrong with the air outside Romdeau? |
| I'm definitely enjoying this so far. Absolutely in love with the character art and animation. Storyboarding is also top notch. The directing in general is really strong, music placement etc. This shows visual presentation hasn't aged at all. Watching the bluray version feels like watching something that came out just recently. Characters from the commune felt very realistic, the interaction between characters in general feel very realistic. Guess I'm starting to get invested into this show. Please continue in this direction and don't disappoint me. |
| Having a taste of how life is for those outcast may actually be a good lesson for Rel. Being the princess granddaughter of Romdo's regent i can understand how her privileged life may have blinded her to the immigrants' and outcasts' difficulties though. I still don't understand if Pino is infected with Cogito or not. She certainly acts like she has self-awareness. |
| Quinn is so Lara Croft! Also, how did Re-L found the village so quickly? Guessing Daedalus? I love how the kids are laughing and giggling while Hoody was talking XD Pretty much confirms who Vincent really is. And wow, they really showed a kid dying and bloody up. |
| damn Quinn is hot as fuck, but rip Timothy kid was just trying to draw |
 |
| timothy's death shall be avenged............... |
| Damn the community's ambiance is so tense, at least we have Re-l coming to pick Vincent to leave back to the Dome but after that attack, it's a different matter though it's just even more mysterious as to why the Proxy is always related to Vincent during these times, also Pino's friend seems to be dead :S |
 |
| rip drawing kid. At least Pino knows how to survive |
 |
| Aw hell no man, these garbage scrapping f*ckers better not die |

| I never get tired of the gregorian chants in the midst of the bleep bloops of the soundtrack, it's cool how does this community gets fresh water though? Re-l knocks down a cup of water and nobody gets mad at her |
