| 0/5 This was a total waste of my time. This ep sucked!!! |
 |
| @AnimeMama: This episode isn't a waste of time. It explains the context of the anime and sets the background of all of the plot. I don't want to hear that this episode sucks from someone who has Bleach at the top of his favorite anime list. |
| qqqq--very informative but went to fast--q! |
| Had to find a review because I'm more interested in the main show. Still, if what the review said is true then this one has alot of information. |
| This show has been so boring for me so far. So this episode was just what I needed. I feel quite refreshed, like I am ready to go through another eight episodes of boredom. |
| My first impression was WTF???!!! But it turned out to be quite informative :0 Was pretty fun though as a change of pace...this show does need a bit more humor or something like that without being dull the whole time :PP |
| I think this episode just crossed my threshold for abstraction. |
Arturllm said: Jezz! They could explain the whole history on a tottaly different manner! Please, this isnt a comical anime! Or, at least, shouldnt be! >/ My thoughts exactly... |
 |
| I enjoyed it even though it was a strange way to give back story information. Hmmm... interesting that there were 300 proxies total! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Kinda reminds me of the weird baseball episode in Champloo. Wasn't really a filler was a battle with a proxy like that last one a mind battle, but was strange. I may just be a nerd but what bugged me the most was how they said 100's of billions of years after the big bang, when the universe is only 14 billion years old. |
 |
| Shit episode is shit. |
A man of few words. |
| wtf was this? |
 |
| what was that ? Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| WTF? This episode just killed it for me. |
 |
| Well that was certainly a thing. |
| What did I just watch. o_o |
| Dafuq did I just watch O_O nice quiz show I assume... |
 |
| That's a pretty strange way to give some information about the plot. |
| Filler bhut at least it was fun and showed me about Proxy called Proxy one |

| Can't believe I watched this ep. |
 top 3 anime: Code Geass | One Piece | Death Note |
| It was ridiculous ... a few interesting facts about Ergo Proxy (Including a new proxy character !). That's all. It was rather tiresome for me. |
| I think proxy one is either Vincent or Re-l |
 |
| I don't even know what the fuck happened. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Well I can't see a reason why this episode was needed, but it was fine I guess. |

guidodi said: I am watching Ergo Proxy for the second time. I REALLY didn't understand this episode the first time, I am glad I paid attetion this time because it is filled with information. It explains what happened to Earth, that 85% of the population died, that humans create 300 proxies to revive Earth, that proxies will no longer be necessary when the earth recovers, etc... The host was actually a Proxy, this becames clear in the question about RA: Ra, an Egyptian god said to have the same sacred eyes as WE DO (refering to Vincent and himself), is the god of what? Every proxy we saw until now had some kind of lightning in their eyes. I can't say I like the episode, I would prefer if they gave us this info some other way but it is not a filler. Oh wow, I totally didn't get that the host was a proxy!!! Makes so much sense now! So I guess they're just meeting lots of proxies and...killing them? o_O I still don't like the format of this episode though, even if it's pretty creative. Vincent was really funny though ^^ |
| Hmmm... I've really enjoyed the way this show has spread abstract plot hints throughout so far, but this was a little over the top and out of nowhere for me. I guess it just kinda shocked me with the sudden change of pace. |
| Can't believe they did a boring and annoying filler like that... |

Oomyung said: I may just be a nerd but what bugged me the most was how they said 100's of billions of years after the big bang, when the universe is only 14 billion years old. Ah? What the hell are you talking about? They NEVER said that:  I also checked the dubbed version and it also says the same thing. I believe when you were watching this episode in your mind you mixed that scene with this one:  So somehow after combining the two figures in your mind you got the "100's of billions of years" figure. Please, next time double check before making accusations since as we've witnessed, your memory is REALLY unreliable. |
| Great episode. I'm surprised he won. |
 |
| This episode was fackin random! lol I now know where gintama took inspiration for some of its random episodes. |

| I don't know if this episode is madness, stupidity or genius, but it gives a lot of background information we've been missing about this world. It's quite obvious that whoever is behind the show (and it's transmission) is a Proxy too, and a powerful one at that. I don't really think comedy fits into this show but I got to admit I found the whole bit describing Re'L as older than she looked and frowning all the time was pretty funny. |

bittersweetlove said: Yea wtf does this ad to the story?Can't believe they did a boring and annoying filler like that... |
 .. |
| My guess is that proxy one was the creator of the show, 300 proxies, oh wow. Some interesting, though it was a weird way to go about telling us lol, was funny though i did enjoy it somewhat xD really random, i hope we can get back to regular story telling now and actually advancing the plot properly, hope there isn't any more things like this. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Well this was a really random episode, I have to agree with some others that it really didn't fit this anime at all and felt really out of place. But I still enjoyed it and hey it gave us some pretty interesting information, so I guess I can't complain to much. |
 |
| that was certainly a strange one, but if you can get passed the whole 'gameshow' then it does give you quite a bit of information, i liked it! |
| What ... The ... Hell?! Well whatever, really sad that this happened, hope the series picks up like it was in the first half. |
 |
| This show is soooo troll |
