Ergo Proxy DVD Volume 2

by Jason

Changes in Vincent Law

Story

The investigation into the proxy takes a dangerous turn when Real leaves the saftly of the Romdeau dome to find Vincent Law. Will she recognize him after all the changes he’s gone though?

Vincent is having troubles of his own. The patrols outside the city have increased and some are blaming him. Hoody manages to save him from an angry mob.

Can Vincent live up to the lies Hoody had to tell to save his hide?

Will Real find the connection between Vincent and the proxy?

My Opinion

I was afraid the second volume might start to lag after the strong opening from the first few episodes on the first volume. I guess I had nothing to worry about. The second volume of Ergo Proxy lives up to the standards of the first DVD.

As the story progresses some questions are answered, but others take their place. This anime does a great job of drawing you in as the mystery unfolds. Questions are answered, not like some shows that try to keep the suspense up by sidestepping the questions at the last second.

DVD Extras

None. Well, Geneon Previews and DVD Credits. Those aren’t extras those are ads. That’s really disappointing. How hard would it have been to throw a couple of commercials on the DVD? Maybe some concept art? Anything would have been better than when we got. Oh wait, we didn’t get anything. I would almost prefer not to see an “Extras” menu option if it’s going to be empty.

Is it worth it?

Yep, Ergo Proxy is a great anime. The story more than makes up for the complete lack of extras. I’d recommend this anime. if you don’t want to buy it, then at least rent it. It’s good.
