Ergo Proxy DVD Volume 3
Story
Vincent Law is still on the run, still being chased. The farther he gets from the domed city of Romdeau the tighter he becomes bound to the mystery of the proxy. Vincent Law and his pursuer both have questions that haunt them. Unfortunately they’re both running headlong into the answers they’re trying so desperately to escape.
My Opinion
Ergo Proxy Volume 3 continues to impress. No matter how many questions are answered, even more pop up to take their place. Even the answers you see coming are handled so well that it still seems like a surprise. That’s the trick isn’t it? Revealing enough information to keep us interested without giving it away all at once. Getting us to ask the right questions at the right times. Ergo Proxy accomplishes that and does it well.
The story, art and acting work beautifully together to create a mood and atmosphere that pulls you in. The dark future so often presented in sci-fi anime is well crafted and grows beyond a mere setting. I’m looking forward to seeing more of it.
Though I haven’t seen any signs of it yet, the only thing I’m concerned about is that the show will start to collapse upon itself. The sheer weight of everything that’s happening could begin to distort the story.
Is it worth it?
Yep. Ergo Proxy Volume 3 follows up the strong beginning of the first 2 volumes with some excellent anime. As long as the story can stay focused I think the entire series will be worth it. I got my fingers crossed.
