lol im still stuck at ep 14 cus i can find no group subbing this anime and i unfortunately cant understand japanese to watch raws ~. but its good info that last ep of series is released, maybe somoene will be intrested in subbing it now. i didnt read the whole spoiler you made, but these screen caps making me want to watch it badly -_-. oh, and im looking forward to see next ep of .hack//roots too..

I have been wanting to say this for a long time.
Thank you for spending time out of your day to sub .hack//roots.

.Hack Roots is a great series but its missing seeders!  Open up your hearts or Files ;D and seed those files!

Another group (aside from SHS) has begun subbing the series at 15 (they just released 16).

your a life saver, I've been looking for another source of Ergo Proxy subs as SHS seems to be bogged down in other projects.

Yeah...Pino is Raul's daughter because before he and his wife were given a human child, they bought a companion autorave to act as their daughter. ^^ They never really mention it, but you find out in the 2nd or 3rd episode that Pino is Raul's daughter.

Thx for the spoil on the main page... I am beginning Ergo Proxy and now I know that Vicent is the Ergo Proxy... >.<

what is the deal with the spoilers on every episode of hack and that main spoiler of ergo proxy in which both i haven't seen yet but have been planning to?

@Anonymous: Vincent's identity was revealed fairly early on, so I don't consider it to be a spoiler of this particular episode.

this is the overview of the final episode, if you expect it to be spoiler-free, you gotta be kidding.

the contents here are intended for people who are tracking the series weekly. if you are discontent with any of the contents here because you are not one of those intended audiences, you always got the choice of not coming, and I recommend you not to.

"I am Ergo Proxy, the proxy of death."
Correction. that is
"I am Ergo Proxy, the emissary of death"

@Anonymous: 代理 (だいり) (n,vs) representation; agency; proxy; deputy; agent; attorney; substitute; alternate; acting (principal, etc.); (P);

word by word translation is never a good idea, as words in different languages don't have one-to-one correspondence.

in this case, "proxy" is already given to you, as in "ergo proxy", so there is hardly a need to choose another word. but if you want to make the sentense sound more dramatic, sure, choose whichever word you see fit.

instead of saying "correction", you should say "in my interpretation".

Pino no Usagi has just released the last 2 episodes of ergo proxy.

go get em'!

they are here:

anyone else sad it's over?

I cant believe it ended!!! I want to see more!! there is stll so much potential!!! But i enjoyed most of it anyways!!!

Heres what I think: Real (I'll type real since i dont like re-l), was created by Vincent, when Vincent created Romudou.
 The reason Real looks like Monad (or monad looks like real), i think, is that Real is Monad's "human face".. uh.. Vincent for example, looks completley different from Ergo Proxy, so this Vincent's face is like his "human face". I think Real is designed after Monad's human form and face.

I supose Ergo Proxy, before he erased his memories, created Real becouse he loved Monad so much. (..since he wouldnt be able to remember Monad, perhaps? Something like that!)

..Oh! and the clone, must be a clone of Monad. The place she wanted Vince to go was above the clouds, to the sun, and not save the world..(from what??). The what-are-they-called-cells dies in sunlight, since the proxies where created to die. (note:not soley for that purpose, but in the end >.>)

What I dont see is what Vince is suposed to save the world from, and what kind of battle thats starts at the end. Any ideas?

@luperry: no, Vicent was saying 代理人 at the end of the anime, not just 代理. They have totally different meanings. here, "emissary of death" is indeed closer to the original Japanese meaning than "proxy of death"

@Anonymous: no, they are not all that different. 代理人 just puts a heavier emphasis saying it's a person, and it can only be used as a noun. 代理 on the other hand, can be used as a verb or a noun, in the case of a noun, it doesn't necessarily has to be a person, a network proxy can be called a 代理(as in the case in Chinese, Japanese just call it プロクシ). however, if it's understood that you are referring to a person, then they are the same.

Wolf's Rain, Serial Experiments Lain, Elfen Lied, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Ergo Proxy - what other titles would you all mention?

i think that vincent didnt create real but he fell in love of her for the same reason he gave control to her grandpa is in the gens
the reason why ergo proxy doesnt go to heavens for death is because he refuses to follow god orders or the creator order
obviosly what daedalus did was transforming monad proxy into a copy of real, and tried to had control over her but as the base ingredient monad was in love of him i think thats why she loves him so much, also i dont think real is a copy of monad because in the first chapter we see a little jealous scene from monad she isnt saving real from ergo proxy she is just taking his attention
well... thats what i think

cowboy bebop, sunabouzu, samurai champloo

@zeratti: I think that Real may actually be a copy of monad. This may explain why monad was initially targeting Real. Also Ergo Proxy in episode 1 grabbed her face and shed a tear thinking she was monad. That might explain the awakening bit (probably thought monad erased her memories). He did not realize that the real Monad was really Monad since she was wearing a mask.

Pino is a companion type of autorave. She was like a daughter to Raul's family (I dont think anyone and romdeau can have children through natural methods, therefor often times they use autoraves as a substitution). Raul's family was killed by Monad and Pino was all he had left. Its partly why he hates Vincent so much because Raul believes Vincent took everything away, including Pino.

Although it may look like Raul didnt care when his family was killed in the mall, but you could tell he was shaken. His entourage even commented on how his personality changed in the episode after his family died.

One of the best Anime series I have ever seen...nothing has made me question so many things before....What is your purpose? Why do you wake up in the morning?

gogo returning humans take out that monster with your spaceships!! XD

You do know that pino's connection to raul is revealed in the very first episode if  you pay attention. Samantha (raul's wife, who we know is Pino's "mama") says : Do you know who my father is? He is the cheif of the security beauro.
So it's no huge mystery. I didnt notice it at first but even then it's not that hard to guess.

Ps: Best anime ever made.

Oops i meant she said "Do you know who my husband is?

@Anonymous: if raul's wife n baby die,why does he not feel any sadness?so weird.he didn't even cry when his wife die in d shopping mall.n wha abt d part where proxy met sunlight they melt?n daleus is weird too,he like real very much so he create another real n when d real real mayer came back,he ignore her.don no why he love real in d first place.
n wha is proxy all abt?they create 300 proxy but who is d 'they'?in d last episode 23,vicent say he is d proxy of death,wha is all d machine thing behind him?they want to kill him?

Here's my point of view on this sublime anime series, which, in my idea, could have become a cult anime series, if not for certain things... So, the proxies are the 'hands of god', brought on the surface of Earth by the creator to repopulate it and make it livable again, all this on the command of the Creator.. Then, once that was done, they were to be destroyed n consumed by the sun? blue sky? (monad in the last episode disintegrated when exposed to an open sky..) .. well there'd be somethin that'd destroy those Amrita cells (cute name btw..) As for Ergo, due to his presumed incompleteness, he left Romdeau after he created it and emigrated to Moscow out of despair, where he left his memories to that old autorave with an oriental hat n who seemed to be forgettin things as well.. Then, for some reason, Ergo, or i should say vincent (Ergo went schyzo..) was drawn to Romdeau again and went back to that dome and enrolled in that Autorave Control unit or whatever.. Btw, did anyone of u notice the word AWAKENING appear in the bowl of milk and cereals when vincent spilled the milk? it comes one letter after the other.. watch closely.. I believe monad n ergo were lovers before, just like those 2 other proxies kazkis n senekis.. Re-l, i think was a clone of monad, maybe made, on the request of the councilor Donov, by daedelus... but i'm not sure of that one.. In any case, monad came to Re-l's place to kill her as she was jealous.. N given vincent was near the house of Re-l at the time, he eventually was forced subconsciously to turn into its proxy form n interpose between the 2.. But one thing that's bothering me was that Ergo came 1st into Re-l's bathroom.. Concerning pino, she certainly is Raul's 'girl'.. well she's a companion autorave anyway.. Also, concerning the clone Re-l that appeared around the end of the series, she's also a clone of monad(which explains why she ressembles Re-l), but one that's a perfect clone with the attributes of a proxy as well..daedelus managed to do that somehow, but wanted it all for himself, which was in itself impossible as the perfectly cloned monad still had that feeling of love for vincent.. Now, wat's intriguing me in this all is the role Proxy One played in it all.. Is it an independent proxy, a mirror or Ergo, a clone? i'm not sure myself.. anyone? Why was he sitting and waiting for Ergo? and wat about those dolls in the councilor's chamber? r they autoraves? When that nuke that Raul launched hit moscow, there was a proxy there who clearly seemed distraught when that missile hit.. could it have been Proxy one? there are still some questions that are left unanswered i should say..... i'll be grateful if anyone could shed some light..
