Ergo Proxy (Season 1)

Ergo Proxy (エルゴプラクシー, 2006) is a Japanese sci-fi anime series you can watch online on iFILM. Set inside the domed city of Romdo — humanity's last refuge after Earth's atmosphere collapsed — the story follows Re-l Mayer, an intelligence analyst for the city's civilian bureau, as she investigates a wave of violent incidents involving AutoReiv androids.

Her inquiry leads her to Vincent Law, a low-ranking AutoReiv worker who is being hunted by something that defies every classification: not quite human, not quite machine. Piece by piece, the city's seamless official reality starts coming apart. The series runs 23 episodes and is complete.

Produced by studio Manglobe, Ergo Proxy built its identity on European gothic design — the art direction pulls from Art Deco and expressionist film — and a philosophical core that borrows from Descartes and Derrida without making it feel like homework. It rewards patient viewers who want their dystopian anime with genuine ideas underneath. Stream all episodes of Ergo Proxy online on iFILM.
