History YMMV / ErgoProxy

** In the very last scene of the show, [[spoiler: as the spaceships of The Creators break through the dark clouds and descend to the earth, their tiny shadows against the sunlight look very much like falling angels. And considering [[{{Satan}} the guy standing in the foreground...]]]]

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: [[spoiler: Like you would really kill Re-L when a significant portion of the last episode is spent saving her; not to mention, a support character dies doing so as well.]]

** The Collective's members being named "[[AllPsychologyIsFreudian Lacan]]", "[[Creator/JacquesDerrida Derrida]]", "[[GoodWithNumbers Husserl]]" and "[[RuleOfPerception Berkeley]]". The series has so little in common with the beliefs and writings of those men that it really looks like the production team grabbed random philosopher names and slapped them on four characters to make the show more bookish.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Regardless of what you thought of her character, Pino is thrown into (and rescued from) a ''literal'' scrap heap.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole soundtrack, but particularly the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAXrRWLKzko opener, Monoral's "Kiri"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znx2BwdFLcg "Centzontotochtin"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIpILgkjpVw "Shampoo Planet"]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYyCkM5Bxkg closer,]] Music/{{Radiohead}}'s "Paranoid Android."

* JerkassWoobie: Raul Creed.
* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler:Proxy One.]]

* CryForTheDevil: Happens with Raul towards the end of the series, showing him as more complex than his SmugSnake personality would suggest [[spoiler: although it's hinted earlier, an episode reveals that the woman and child killed at the mall at the beginning of the series were his wife and child, and that Pino was his daughter/MoralityPet. What makes this affecting, is that his android (gynoid?) assistant scolds him for losing his temper at the mall- a perfect citizen should apparently be stoic even when his family is killed in front of him; and you can understand why he hates Vincent so much--he blames Vincent for the deaths of his family, and is hurt even more when he sees that Pino now treats Vincent as her father]].
** It should be noted though, that in the second to last episode, [[spoiler:Pino's drawings do depict both Vincent and Raul, and in her monologues she widely addresses them both]].

* {{Narm}}:Some shots are too silly to take seriously (like the one of a Proxy's head on a human baby).

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Vincent Law. "Vincent" is derived from the roman "vincere", to conquer. So, his name is basically "Conquer the law". Anyway, Vincent Law. C'mon, say it aloud. You know you want to.

* AuthorTract: In Jesuotaku's review of the show, she criticized it for being EXTREMELY heavy handed not just to the aesop it was trying to teach but for other aesops that had nothing to do with the show, even satirizing Disney of all places.

* HypeAversion: The American release didn't sell too well; might be because it was a MindScrew-type series, but might ''also'' be because it was advertised inside of every single {{Geneon}} DVD case for about two years.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole soundtrack, but particularly the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAXrRWLKzko opening]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znx2BwdFLcg Centzontotochtin]], and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYyCkM5Bxkg closer]] which is {{Radiohead}}'s "Paranoid Android".

* SuperlativeDubbing: The English version really is quite good.
** The series was dubbed by New Generation Pictures, who also did a great job with ''ParanoiaAgent''.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Re-L Mayer, herself.
