Oldtaku no Radio #021 – Ergo Proxy

Airing wayyyyyyyyy back in 2006, Ergo Proxy is the story of a
bored, privileged goth girl (Re-l) and her flamboyant autoreiv
companion, Iggy, in an oasis cursed to be both cradle and
catacomb. Romdo is a domed city and, to its inhabitants, the last
viable living space on an otherwise toxic planet. But there’s an
influx of immigrants from the outside world seeking refuge, a
disease sweeping the robotic residents (autoreivs) that’s making
them gain consciousness, and an unknown monster threatening the
daily comfort of the bourgeoisie.


Join Jared and Ink as they look at all this dystopian future
sci-fi series as we look at the themes it touches upon; if it
conforms to, bends, or breaks certain genre touchpoints; and
just how gosh-darned pretty it still is. (Seriously, folks, if
you love an emo-as-f*ck anime written by a wordy
philosophy/theology major, this is your jam.)
