The Creator..., September 30, 2007
This review is from: Ergo Proxy, Volume 6: Deus Ex Machina (DVD)
Well this is it, the last volume of Ergo Proxy. Easily my favorite anime of 2007. One of the things I always enjoyed about this series is we're not forced to watch our main character be confident and capable of when he/she sets out to get something done. Quite the opposite in Ergo Proxy. Vincent has always been unsure and doubtful with himself and his abilities. Someone average people can relate to better. This final volume sees Romdo's fate and a familiar proxy from a past volume. The Vincent we've come to know, is almost entirely absent from these episodes. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but Vincent has a very large role with the creation of the domed city, more than we ever could have expected. My only gripes about this volume is as follows: -the ending seems rather rushed, I would have liked to see these events get fleshed out a bit more and not so much thrown at us in 1 or 2 episodes. -the animation takes a dip in quality in the last 2 episodes... Most noticable with Re-L -the series only has 23 episodes. a minor gripe I suppose, but hey, most series have 26 episodes! All in all however, awesome series and its been a real treat to watch it over the past year. And with Geneon cutting off all their current projects (all current series will not be finished) i'm very pleased that this last volume got squeezed out before they shut their doors. "Goodbye Vincent"

The Machines of God, February 29, 2008
This review is from: Ergo Proxy, Volume 6: Deus Ex Machina (DVD)
I thought this was one of the best anime series to date, when I had seen the whole show from start to finish i came and bought all the discs. I think the ending was a perfect fit for this particular series because all the questions I might have held about Vince and Re-al and The Creator were in-fact answered. I would give this disc a 6 star review if I could, because I know anyone that's into philosophy, religion and general questions like..."why am I here?"...will love this anime and be hooked after the first disc. I was sad to see it end but I honestly couldnt have asked for a better ending.

A Fitting Finale to a Modern Classic, December 4, 2007
This review is from: Ergo Proxy, Volume 6: Deus Ex Machina (DVD)
What more can I say about this phenomenal anime series? For those who have watched through the whole series and finally reached the finally: the end was well worth the wait. You will be awed and shocked by the final two episodes and the events that take place within. The only problem (and a good one) is that the ending is so complex, you may need to watch the series over again to fully understand it. On another note, many viewers may struggle with the complex themes and metaphors throughout the final chapter, but this is one reason why I watch anime so often: you have to actually have a brain and think things through sometimes. This is not Transformers the movie (all action, no story). This is another anime that shows you why these are not made for kids. This is the greatest artistic anime to date. The colors, the tone, the music, even the voice acting (both Japanese and English are perfect; I actually prefer the English dub). An amazing finale to a great series! This is an instant classic that should be in every anime library. Pros: Artwork is the best I have seen so far, amazing story, wonderful characters. Cons: Very advanced story and metaphors, some viewers may be unable to comprehend.
