Ergo Proxy
(Anime)
add
Just started watching, and right off the bat it reminds me of Blade Runner, one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi films, so in that sense I am biased, but this anime stands on it's own, I've read some of the other reviews, but to me plot twists and complexities are what make a story more gripping, we've all certainly watched animes where the plot goes from A to Z, and that's ok, but when it gets complex and non-linear, that's when the fun begins, and it forces the viewer to think, (remember that), the art is stunning, particularly the action sequences, and the sound

So, finally, I was worried for a moment there, got all the way to ep.11 and then no ep.12, but fortunately after a couple weeks ep.12 was there, so now that it's complete I can give my take, ok nothing really out of the ordinary plot-wise, aliens from another dimension invade in order to destroy humanity, old hat as far as anime plots go, but what's new and exciting is the Pandora concept, a school for warrior girls and their male assistants, " Limiters", very cool, so you have a school-age drama set on the backdrop of fighting evil aliens bent on human destruction, I
