>just dump half the plot in a meme episodehow did they get away with this?
They didn't which is why nobody remembers this outside of the Radiohead song.
>>282583471Characters are so ugly on this
Did you give up and watch the speedsub or did you wait for turboautistic typeset?
Raison d'etre
>>282583471still remember that i dropped it this episode like 15 years later
>>282583471They didn't. They dumped the setting and lore into that episode.I like that Ergo Proxy and Nier Automata do the same thing with philosophy, treating it like programming that isn't helpful if you're mindlessly following it. They also state that personal experience is far more important.
>>282583560I'll have you know I also remember the OP song.
Frankly, orange boy being the magic floating nigga that conveniently always appears when he's elsewhere was so obvious, it's kinda silly how they still treated it like a big reveal towards the end of the show.
>>282583471I think it would be pretty hard for them to explain entire setting without this lore dump ep.
>>282585591COME AND SAAAAAAAVEEEE MEEEEEEEEE
I rewatch EP about once a year, so I've seen it 19 times now.
>>282587207Love me some Re-L
>>282588409Re-L is so hot it's unfair to ever create her and show her on TV knowing I can't fuck her.
Did Wall-E steal the premise of this?
>>282588805now that you mention it, they kinda did.
>>282588657it's just the singer of Evanescence when she was younger, i think that was the whole premise of the series
>>282583471best episode
>>282583471All the best stuff in this show happens in only 3-4 episodes. I don't know if it's nostalgia or too many midwits but it's a real mess and there's entire episodes where basically nothing happens and it's just brown-grey boredom visually as well.
>>282583471Man, this show had some high highs and some low lows. Quite the rollercoaster.
>>282583471The biggest sin, they introduced Proxy One here, they have to foreshadow him somehow but overall it's a funny episode
>how do we make it 2deep4u>let's add some cyrillic gibberish in the opening So deepMuch meaning Wow
>>282583471How were meme episodes called before word meme become a mainstream?
>>282591754She doesn't have the kind of body that Reely has
>>282594031Filler or recap.
>>282594031>>282594161i would call it gimmick episode, not sure, they are fine for fan service, but i don't understand why they dropped half the lore of the series in this and then have 15 normal episodes where nothing happens
Nothing wins against Utena's final recap episode. Nevermind fucking Akio, they even tell you what's the power to revolutionize the world in s fucking car radio.
>>282583471This ep filtered so many people while LOGH is copious amounts of exposition dump, especially the one ep where it was Julian watching a documentary
>>282595741The show is genuinely great even when nothing happens though.
Pino was the best character. im glad she never went beyond being a cute retard because it brought much needed levity.
>>282595879>LOGH is copious amounts of exposition dump,true, but at least it is grandious enough and it's historical stuff, you don't get the backstory of a main character as an info dump
>>282595879No, I was filtered well before that point by the anime being super boring past the first episode.
>>282596161>The show is genuinely great even when nothing happens though.i think it is great too and the episodes were comfy, but i mean they had the time to develop the plot and they squandered it and then crammed it into a comedy info dump, i guess too experimental for me
>>282597581I think you have aggressive expectations of what the show is and you're upset it doesn't match them.Ergo Proxy is an excellent show and the way the information is weighted is on purpose to tell the viewer that the setting's history is less important than what the characters are going through right now.
>>282583471Filtered.>>282597531Attention span of a toddler.
>>282593778It's just a reference to nuked Moscow
