The plot and story guide is meant to be read first. After that you can read the episode guide which expands on some parts of the plot and points out other important things.
Because Ergo Proxy is an anime that requires multiple viewings to understand the story, though I hope reading this will help you as well. Plot overview of Ergo Proxy The series takes place in a post-apocalyptic future of Earth, focusing on the aftermath of a global ecological disaster. The apparent cause of this travesty was rapid climate change due to a string of explosions in methane hydrate reserves.
Some of the humans retreated to a giant spaceship ark in orbit called the Boomerang Star. There wasn't room for everybody - it was bad times for the ones that stayed behind. The retreating humans started Proxy Project PP. They created Proxies to take care of the place while they were out.
The proxies contain an incredible amount of energy, and are capable of impressive feats of strength. They also contain Amrita Cells, which make them immortal. However, very specific, high-energy waves can destroy amrita cells. Proxies themselves can generate such waves, enabling them to kill each other. Proxies have another weakness - natural sunlight kills them.
This is normally not a problem, since the world is shrouded in clouds and all the proxies live in domes anyhow. After being created, each proxy was tasked to build a dome with an artificial womb. With this womb they created humans to live inside of it.
Each proxy was given creative freedom on how to create their dome societies. This was done to help create diversity among cultures and populations. The womb made people, people made Autoreivs, and the combination of the two built some more in the domes and maintained order. Why create pseudo-humans, domes, proxies, etc at all? The domes were created to help get the eco system back in order and to provide a place where the space faring people could return.
Human waste was encouraged in the domes to help start the cycle of the ecosystem again. The domes also were meant for genetic diversity. Both domes and space farers would repopulate the world once the methane gas dissipated and it was liveable again. It just took much longer than they calculated. Another reason is that should their space vessel fail, the human race would not go completely extinct.
There would still be humans living in domes. This is also why the humans made the Cogito virus. It would at least leave some form of life behind. Pino was pretty human at the end, and a cogito infected Autoreiv probably gets more and more human-like, the longer they survive. Indeed, following a close encounter with Monad Proxy in the Romdeau Shopping Mall, Pino appeared suddenly stricken by the same prayerful pose that afflicted other Autoreivs throughout the series.
The Proxies hence the name were created to care for and nurture the human population in the domes. They were pseudo-humans and they could only produce via the artificial womb which draws its power from the Proxy. The Proxies realized that they had failed in their main objective: to keep the population safe. Since the humans lost the ability to breed, they were no longer useful why Kazkis and many other Proxies destroyed their humans. This is the caged animal syndrome.
They had no plan whatsoever to breed with the humans in the domes once they returned from space. This is the final stage of Proxy Project.
The humans in space want to make sure there's nothing on the ground when they finally come back to rebuild their civilization. Just nice, empty and useable domes ready for them to move in and live in. To such ends, they built a couple of flaws into the Proxies.
As a result over a very long time they start to get lonely, since each proxy lives by itself in a dome and has no real peers. Also realize when the story takes place, the Proxies have been living for at least years and some of them have long gone mad from living that long.
These two things can cause a couple of different psychological problems: a. Aggressiveness : Proxies become either self-destructive, or homicidal. Either way, the dome that depends on them is in trouble. Proxies can become escapist : - they flee their domes and try to forget. Proxies may seek out other proxies to feel less lonely. In addition to killing off potential resistance for when the space-humans return, this forces Proxies to always remain in isolation, adding to the loneliness factor.
Each Proxy has its own dome which is its own territory or dominion, so if they encounter one another Proxies mostly act hostile and try to kill each other.
Once the planet recovers and the sun shines again, the proxies will no longer be able to live on it. In conclusion the space-humans deliberately made the Proxies imperfect beings which means their creations will be imperfect as well, the sterile pseudo-humans. So they have a plan for both the pseudo-humans and the Proxies. Pseudo-humans Think of them as colonization of an otherwise uninhabitable planet, just like the moon.
These pseudo-people will die almost immediately from exposure to "outside" air, they can't procreate, etc. The reason for their entire existence was to maintain the domes. They were created to make these habitable colonies, maintain them, and then die off when "real humans" returned, leaving the "real humans" with places to live.
Basically, the idea is to never have to go through the struggle of rebuilding towns and living with practically nothing. That's why, beyond the necessary minimal number of citizens needed to maintain order, all those "empty towns" were being maintained by robots constantly mowing and watering lawns, etc on the outskirts of Romdeau.
We know that the species of humans put in the domes was already winding down through the fact that they had massive graveyards and almost no population to speak of, which gives further credence to the idea that it was all orchestrated and timed so that few to none would still be alive when "real humans" returned, but that they would "go out" peacefully.

Connections Featured in Adventures in Voice Acting User reviews 53 Review. Top review. First of all, it goes without saying that this is a very intelligent Anime', produced by the studio Manglobe, and skillfully written by Dai Sato and a team of other writers, and directed by Shukuo Murase. When watching "Ergo Proxy," it helps for the viewer to abandon all known concepts of reality and straightforward storytelling to focus on a confusing but intelligent, wow-oh-wow storyline. Can't think of many Anime' pieces that don't have some sort of absolute gosh-wow factor.
With accompanying beginning and ending theme songs by Monoral "Kiri" and Radiohead "Paranoid Android" , respectively, and an out-there creepy sci-fi soundtrack by Yoshihiro Ike, "Ergo Proxy" is set some time in the distant future, when planet Earth has become so uninhabitable because of a worldwide ecological disaster that human beings are forced to live in massive domed cities.
