55. Ergo Proxy

Ergo Proxys a bit of an odd duck. I was pretty interested in it back when I started anime and found out about studios and the work theyd done. EP was from Manglobe, whose previous anime, Samurai Champloo, I enjoyed a lot (I believe these were their only two series at the time). I did hear mixed reviews, but after the first few episode, I was firmly on the all-time classic side. They have an incredible atmosphere, tell a great story with fantastic animation, and have a great protagonist in Re-l. Unfortunately thats not how the whole series goes. It turns pretty much completely episodic after that until the last few episodes, and the quality is mixed. Some of those episodes are still great (though I dont know if any are as good as the early episodes), but some are pretty weak. Champloo did the episodic thing much better than EP did (Casshern Sins, which I watched later, has a similar setting and much better episodic storytelling as well). Still, its a good show overall. I ended up not being a huge fan of Manglobes other original series either, incidentally, and even their adaptations had issues. Still sad to see them dead, but I suppose it was time.
