As far as I know Ergo Proxy is one of the first anime series that was transmitted in HD. Any details about it? -- T0rek 09:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Would it be considered trivia that the letters that bubble up in Vincent's alphabet cereal after he pours too much milk in (beginning of the series, possibly episode one) spell out "MISFIT"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.163.247 ( talk) 04:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
If you look at the Japanese page on the matter, it is explained why the robots are called "オートレイヴ" (ooto-reivu). "Auto + Slavery" which makes them "auto(matic-s)laves. Therefore, the spelling Auto-Rave (not Auto-reiv) would be better (and explaining the origin on the page could help, too). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niemand8et ( talk • contribs) 07:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
why is there a sic next to husserl ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.87.251.109 ( talk) 12:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
is thriller actually a genre? Linder1990 ( talk) 15:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
since DVD came out, i suggest you place the DVD image. Linder1990 ( talk) 18:20, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Agreed, the picture representing Ergo proxy is very unprofessional.

Why is it Postcyberpunk and not just Cyberpunk? I do not really see the positive utopian aspect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.193.99.73 ( talk) 00:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Actually, adding genre is considered original research. we should just go by the genre the series has been officially listed as. Bread Ninja ( talk) 19:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I overhauled the referencing system for all inline citations for this article. Instead of directly placing the citation with links and all inside the text, please name tag the reference and use that as the in-text cite then under the References section place the full citation with links and all.
Refer to WP:CITESHORT under List-defined References for the format. This should greatly reduce the clutter in the text since a lot of the citations are very long and make it hard to edit content. Fox816 ( talk) 19:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
In the Article it says there are actually about 300 proxys? Is there a overview over all those proxys, the coming from or any other information about them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.254.33 ( talk) 15:27, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
The Proxies are effectively supporting characters, since they play such a vital role in the series. Although upwards of 300 Proxies exist, only a few have been named: Monad, Senex, Kazkis, and Ergo Proxies; Proxy One; MCQ; and Will B. Good. A sixth Proxy, which Re-l sends back to Romdeau with Iggy, is never named. Ergo Proxy (Vicent Law)is not one of the original 300, but is instead the missing half of Proxy One's personality and memories that has taken physical form, i.e Proxy One is the first of the original 300 Proxies.
We would only mention them if they were essential to the understanding of the work as a whole. I'm not sure where they got the number 300, first sentence makes it sound like an ambiguous number, then later sounds like there were exactly 300. On further reflection though, this sentence is more of a listing than an explanation of proxies. It would be good to try and explain what they are; and references. I'm going to try to track down whoever added this paragraph and see if they can give some answers. -- Kraftlos ( Talk | Contrib) 08:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
The number 300 comes from episode 15 "Nightmare Quiz Show/who wants to be in jeopardy!" where it's stated that there's exactly 300 proxies. -- 122.108.180.218 ( talk) 10:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
It has been translated as "Romdo" but inspection of citizen I.D. cards show it to be Romdeau... 98.112.230.67 ( talk) 06:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Than we go with Romdeau. Bread Ninja ( talk) 07:44, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Where exactly is it ever said that MCQ is a proxy? I certainly never picked that up when I watched it and I even reviewed the episode again after I saw him labeled a proxy here. Is this a line that's cut out of the English dub or something or is there something else I'm missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brovyle ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Regarding popular culture edit:
'Several influences can be seen from the Highlander series, and Jet Li's 'The One'. In The One, the character's name 'Gabriel YuLaw' bears a close resemblance to Vincent Law. In all three cases, the character attempts to become a supreme being by eliminating copies of oneself or of a unifying force.'
I seriously no longer care about your policies, anyways youre no admin anyways, just a fanboy it seems. The Original Research dilemma has already come up with 3 of my edits, and it is simply ridiculous, since these analyses are not available elsewhere and they are CLEARLY visible in the text/themes of the Ergo Proxy series.
Is it reallt necessary for me to get a degree as a 'writer' and write a book about it before i can include it? Is that really what the policy states? because if it is, then i will write an article, publish it in an obscure paper and have it included. unless you then will use the argument that only 'credible' sources will be used, in which case, 50% of the sources currently on wiki are NOT credible. 64.250.81.218 ( talk) 14:19, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Why is 'literally, "The Agent of Death" ' included? Neither the Latin (at least, I think it's Latin) meaning, nor the Japanese characters (which is merely a transliteration) has anything to do with it. Silvermael ( talk) 03:44, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Sounds like its original research. Lucia Black ( talk) 03:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Isn't the comment of Zac Bertschy a bit out of context? I felt it was so when going through the review referenced in the link because it only reviews DVD1. The criticism of characters stems from the first few episodes of the series where the reviewer identifies only Re-l and Raul as main characters and assumes that the plot revolves around the city of Romdeau. But as the series progresses it is obvious that it is not so and there is significant character development for all characters. My point is that the first few episodes do not reveal the plot very much and that this review is based on only a very small part of the series.
Lasantha Fernando ( talk) 22:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
just saying, i doubt pino is a reference to any artists... also, why is OR being allowed as a reference, with no citation? lmao...
Pino is simply 'Piano' without an 'a', just like 'Cogito' is "Cognito" without an 'n'. in fact, there are several references to pianos in the series.
there's obviously an 'a' missing from re-l compared to her citizen card.
it might be interesting to find if any other references are missing letters, and if that amounts to anything.
also, it can be said that the town of 'karos' is missing an 'i' like "Ikaros", from ikaros & daedalus...
which, incidentally, is used as a motif... asura (the sun), the final scenes, daedalus obviously, etc...
coincidentally, 'karos' without an 's' is 'karo', which is the suit of diamonds in playing cards - hence the playing card soldiers.
