| the episode wasn't that bad tbh. It might have been a little odd but it did give us some important information and all in all, it was really fun |

| Just as I said this show was doing a good job with episodes that divert away from the story literally last episode, it goes and does this...why??? I didn't even bother trying to watch this after I realized they were sticking with this game show for the whole episode. I was damn near feeling like I was gonna give this show a 9 before this abomination came right up and ruined it lol. I honestly could care less about the potential info dump I may have missed as there are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better ways to info dump than whatever this is...yikes... At this rate I'm just gonna pretend this episode doesn't exist for the sake of this anime. |

| a lot of butthurt folks in this thread lmao, it was a fun little episode |
 |
| Good episode. It's actually not a filler episode, but more of a history and revealed us a lot of hidden backstories What's the title of this song? HAHAHA Love it! I actually think MCQ is a proxy and he did set this up when he captured both Re-L and Pino. So we get to know that the original Proxy was Proxy One. We have Judgement Day which reset the world. Spaceship is Boomerang Star So many Science based questions. MCQ has no problems dying on his last show XD |
| Imagine watching this episode and thinking that it is a filler episode. Some of you should pay more attention at what you watch. I don't think this was the best way to tell all this information, but it was very relevant. |
| Wait a second why are there so many people saying this episode was useless ? I thought it was very important, and very interesting as well. We got a lot of informations, some psychological study for Vincent, a link between this episode and the actual events... I also found the audience being full of Autoreiv and the host dying with the end of his show to be pretty clever. Okay it's not te best episode ever, but it was still good, after all Ergo Proxy has always been very unconventional in its narration. One thing though, I hope we'll get some explanations about how the characters even found themselves in such situation. Then again this show never really explains these kind of things so I shouldn't hope too much. |

| What a strange episode. It's a very creative way to do an info dump, but at the same time it's still just a massive info dump which could have been done in more subtle ways. This kinda feels like the writers were like "well shit we need/want to give the audience more history of this world we created. How can we pull this off as quick as possible?" A lot of the information provided probably isn't necessary tbh but it's fine to know. Anyway it was still entertaining and certainly better than your typical low effort exposit. |
| LOL the most stupid way to provide background info in a filler episode. thanks God the pre-2008's anime direction style is over. and wtf the amount of "i'm 14 and this was genius" users here. Anything stupid is amazing for these people, as long its unusual. |
 |
| Well yeah it was used to give a lot of information but the format was too weird and unexpected that I could hardly concentrate on what was going on... definitely the worst episode so far |
 |
| Well... I guess that was one way to give us some lore |
 |
| Yeah I'm skipping this one lol. If I'm somehow missing out on important plot points (ngl though, the actual plot, whatever it is of this whole series, doesn't feel very grounded to me), or just plain fun, lmk ig. Although I probably won't bother coming back here anyway tbh |

| For whatever reason, there's no discussion forum for this episode? To be completely honest, I thought this episode was kind of a buzz kill. I thought Pino was funny and I understand the point of this episode is comic relief, but I felt like something was really building the past 2 episodes... Kind of killed the vibe... |
| Probably one of the funniest ways to drop lore I've ever seen. |
| The game show episode is a good way to expo dump. I think its weird because the show feels like it just started with episode 11. The previous episode just feel like setup. Also i dont think the game show is too out of place, the gang is in the processe of exploring abadoned ruins of humanity, they were just at a abadoned convience store last episode |
| What a load of bullshit this episode is. |

| Awesome episode, very interesting and well-crafted. They are telling us the story of this apocalyptic world, the way they choose it is very cool and (maybe) original. I see many comments: wtf was this, is this filler? etc At this point you should drop this show and go back to your shitty pantsu trash anime and forget this, is not for you. |

@Pain_The_Kami You're the average toxic anime fan "If you have a opinion on the internet about my favorite anime, fuck you" Grow up
| @llamav The irony in this post is impeccable. And you should learn what filler really means intead of using the word in a wrong meaning. |

| I liked this ep, but wasn't expecting for a filler in a show like this. |

Sammstar said: I liked this ep, but wasn't expecting for a filler in a show like this. There is no filler in this show. Least of all this episode - it's probably one of the most important episodes in the series' run, at least in the second half of the show, due to the amount of explanatory background information it provides. Not every episode is filled with action or big events, but is still very much equally an important part of the story the writer wanted to tell. And this is an original series. So every episode has a distinct purpose. |
| Well that was a really loopy 4th wall break of an episode! Was MCQ a Proxy? (why is there no poll for this ep?) |
