Cogito Ergo Sum (and all that shit..)

ERGO PROXY PLOT SUMMARY:

In a future where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear apocalyse, there exists salvation in a domed city named "Romdeau", where humans and their android servants, the autoreivs, live in. Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Real Mayar, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdeau.

ERGO PROXY REVIEW:

Yes, I'm a sucker for new things. There is nothing new that I would not know about, especially in the fields of animation, website, designs and all the crap in between. So when I heard about this new anime, I had the sudden attack of my usual sickness: I just have to have a copy of this series. And so then, first episode immediately gave the aura of mystery to its viewers. More of like you were suddenly plunged to a different world, with everything around you looking suddenly strange and new. But I had to admit, it took me around months to urge my lazy butt to watch the 2nd episode because the 1st episode of this series did not interest me that much. But after I watched the latter episodes, I just can't get enough of it. It was during my finals week that I decided to watch it since reviewing too much is bull, and my brain felt like heavy lead so I though I needed a break. Well, anyway, it has a very nice story and gripping scenes that will leave you wanting more. It's just that it will leave you with this feeling that you want to immediately unravel  the mysteries behind mysteries. And yes, you heard that right, it is full of damn mysteries. Philosophies, possibilities of human mind, extremes, and similar shits. So if you're into those kind of themes, I will suggest this series. It's similar to Ghost in the Shell and has a cyber-punk theme. No more no less. And the characters were drawn very good too.
