Most Underrated SCI-FI anime : Ergo Proxy (No Spoiler, Intro)
Story takes place in a dystopian Utopia, Utopia cuz the city is nearly perfect, everything is fine nothing wrong. Dystopian cuz everything else outside the city is shit.
In fact we don't even know whats outside the city.
In the far future Earths climate has been completely fked up and rendered inhabitable by humans. So now they are living inside domed city. Like a giant Dome like structure is isolating the city from outside world. Its pretty advanced. They have robots as their personal assistant, they are called Entourage's. Population is kept under controlled by the central authority so as not to overburden the Cities capacity. How you ask? Well people aren't being born anymore rather they are cultivated. Yes babies are harvested and given to current citizens from time to time to keep the Population going.
Our protagonist is a 19 year old female who's also a cop. Her name is Re-L ( as in Real). She has her own robot/entourage she calls Iggy.
She complains a lot. Like how the city is boring. how people are mindlessly following rules n all. A typical Teenager.
Anyway, so everything is going Great in this city... oh.. right i didn't tell u the name of the city, its called "Romdeu".
....so its perfect, as Re-L calls it 'a boring Paradise'.
Everything is going great untill it doesnt... The Robots Start commiting Suicide...Yes thats right the companion robots start killing themselves one by one. it starts with a small section of the city and our Re-L heads over to investigate.
Somewhere on the other side of the city . A bunch of scientists are are looking worried as they can't seem to control what seems to be a human like entity, that they've kept sedated and are studying or whatever.
Finally the thing manages to break free, its movements are inhumane, its strength like a beast. The autorities are trying to keep it a secret apparantly its very existance is a secret. Now they have to capture this thing before it wrecks havoc and people find out about this thing and also find out whats causing the Robots to go suicidal.
Are these two incidents linked? What is it, that the higherups are trying to hide?
Re-L wants to find out more about it and a journey starts that'll make her question everything she knows.
Theme: Sci-fi, Mystery, Adventure, Philosophical , Questioning meaning of consiousness and that sort of stuff. Mind fck Story that you need to rewatch to fully understand.
