Ergo Proxy, Volume 6: Deus Ex Machina

Only the problem is a sudden ending,
but if you started watching this anime,
you should check this! :D

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.

I hope you came to the last volume's reviews to provide that last needed push to purchase the entire series. Hopefully you didn't catch too many spoilers in the process. I rent most of my anime because I'm picky about movies in general, but the margin between great anime and good anime is so wide it's even harder to commit.
Volumes of Ergo Proxy sat unopened, waiting for their siblings to be born, because I knew that fewer than 6 episodes in a sitting would leave me foaming for more. I expected more from the ending, and it almost delivers, but I wouldn't be giving the work its due respect if I got all fanboyish. This is the one that will mobilize or reanimate any interest in Anime, not because it's perfect, but because it engages all the faculties. It is such a glorious and unpredictable reexamination of classic sci-fi themes that even when things seem `off' they only draw you in further.

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.

While I do wish there had been more hints at a romance I was still very satisfied. I, as expected, cried my little heart out. I highly recommend this anime. You might have to watch all of it to get some of the episodes and really squint to see through the cracks,but in the end you'll understand. Maybe..Heh.
