Ergo Proxy was a roller coaster ride for me in terms of first me hating it, then loving it, then hating it again.  I’m not going to do a synopsis of the series in this post so if you want to learn about it check out this wiki entry.  The series for the most part is very entertaining but there are two key portions that I disliked..the beginning and end.  The beginning starts of slow….I MEAN SLOW.  Like Grandma driving 15mph slow.  The first 4 episodes are painful to get through.  The only reason I continued to watch past that was because at the end of each episode they leave a killer cliffhanger that makes you want to see what’s going to happen next.

After you get past the beginning the shows story really starts to unfold.  Even though I dislike how slow the beginning is, you really start to appreciate it because it sets the framework for the story.  Along the way you meet cool characters with deep stories of their own.  I do have to admit, the dialog is a bit deep in this series.  So you do need to pay attention when they are speaking or you may miss something important.  I was happy with the series until the last episode.  The last episode made me feel like what happened during the series was a waste of time and the series could have been like 5 or 6 episodes long.

Other than the slow beginning and uneventful ending I felt that it is a good series and would recommend watching it.  From a dark Gothic point of view it looks good.  The action animation looks pretty sweet as well.  If you are going to watch it remember to give it at least 5 or 6 episodes before you can it.
