I'm just joking around you know.

If you put Ergo Proxy's ultimate borringness aside, it's a good moe show.

That's a tough question.

Existentialism is such a vaguely defined philosophy. If you're going by the broadest, most modern definition that defines it as an analysis of the human condition, I think that Mushishi does a better job at this than both Haibane Renmei and Ergo Proxy.

Haibane Renmei centers on altruism and finding purpose. Ergo Proxy—from what I remember; it's been a long ass time since I've seen it—is about identity. Mushishi explores all of these issues, among others, from multiple perspectives.

At least the characters get developped in both Ergo Proxy and Haibane Renmei.

At least the characters get developed in both Ergo Proxy and Haibane Renmei.

For an episodic series though, Mushishi had better character development than most anime.

I'd say it's the better show out of the two, but I wouldn't call it existential, maybe to some degree, but not in the same way that Ergo Proxy and other shows are. So really I don't think it's a fair comparison in the first place, but that's me.

This thread was obviously meant to be taken seriously from the start, why do you have to ruin everything?

I thought it was obvious that this whole thread was pointless and was used to lure in Ergo Poopy fans (especially that very adorable person called Captain220), why do you have to take it seriously bro?

Fuck you all, but I agree that Haibane Renmei is better, but there's not need to just pick one and not watch the other, they are both great.

Haibane Renmei is better, but Ergo Proxy ain't that far behind tbh.
