Ergo Proxy Explained, and Why I love Ergo Proxy! Full Ergo Proxy Retrospective

[@caffeinatedsage]

So happy to finally get to watch one on Ergo Proxy. I love this show sm. My YT algorithm blessed me today

[@obscureanimememories6697]

Thanks for watching! I Loved talking on Ergo Proxy as its surprisingly uplifting messages and its atmosphere are amazing.

[@ozymandiasramesses1773]

Im so glad you've compiled this video together. These retrospectives are the most interesting takes on Ergo Proxy on YT and really satisfy my fixation w/ the story. Most of the videos I've found are barely disguised plot summaries w/ a Nietzsche name drop.

I'm honored! I'm glad my insights are appreciated!

Your welcome! Good Luck!

[@PunksInVegas]

I'm glad the algorithm brought me here. Can't wait to dive in - I just want to give thanks for the effort you put into this ahead of me clicking play.

[@obscureanimememories6697]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the series!

Oh, Pino Is short for Pinocchio. Now it makes sense.

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I never thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense!

Love this series, awesome retrospective!

[@obscureanimememories6697]

Thanks! I'm glad to have brought some attention to a great obscure anime memory, especially one that is actually a lot more pleasant and hopeful than often given credit for.

My favorite anime, I'd love to see you talk about Monster and Requiem for the Phantom, two other favorites of my Top 5

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I'm glad I could talk about Ergo Proxy! I've wanted to talk about Monster for a while, though I'm still trying top figure out the logistical details. My current format and work/life balance allow me to complete a retrospective on a 26 episode series in about 2-3 months. Seeing as Monster is almost 3 times this length, I would need to figure out how to efficiently get my ideas across without spending half a year on it. I hope to talk about it one day, though I would need to solve these logistical issues and I can't guarantee anything soon.

[@yuseii55]

finally someone explained it simply

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I never understood why Ergo Proxy is held to be to complex to explain when its really a character story and a lot of the literal lore, while interesting, isn't actually super important. Sometimes the style of the series obscures the substance of the series it seems. Thanks for watching!

[@ArveEriksson]

I wonder if "Romdeau" isn't some wordplay on "dormo" (Esperanto for "sleep", according to Google Translate), or domo for "home"...

[@obscureanimememories6697]

That wouldn't surprise me, though I have no idea if so. Thanks for watching!

Ergo proxy: what was and is, and will be in anime

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I'd like to think that even if the series is a bit obscure and sometimes misunderstood, its ultimately a positive tale that will, in some guise, live on.

not watching allat but thanks for promoting ergo proxy brother

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I'm glad to talk about obscure gems!

[@RiqMoran]

This is a production where the whole is less than the sum of the parts imo. While there are many moments i loved, it's more enjoyable to hear someone discuss the premise in a concise way than to watch this disjointed and episodic story unfold. It's almost frustrating how poorly screentime is spent when the lore is this interesting.

[@obscureanimememories6697]

I think Ergo Proxy's approach to story telling and how disjointed it can feel at times can be quite divisive. I never minded it, but I don't think that changes the fact the context of the narrative can feel loose at times. I don't know if the piece sought to be divisive but its structure makes it to some extent and there is a point to be made about the possibility of artistic decisions getting in the way of the point of the art itself. Thanks for watching!
