I think this will be broadcasted on the 25th of February, well that's what I can gather from translating the site.

what is This?????????
edit: hehe... this was the special broadcast of episode 1... the series itself will start on february 25th but this looks like it is a real subbed ep! can't wait to see how it goes! (group is unknown to me though -> Jelly Caption Team)
edit II: 1st things first... Is this really a series and not an OVA? because the animation is gorgeous! anyways, here is what i think of the first ep (might be some spoilers, although i doubt anything is important at this point)
Animation and art: DAAAAAAAAAMN, Samurai Champloo was beautiful, but this show blows past it. really well done in the animation department. the art is dark and gritty (good for sci-fi genre) and the main character "Lir" looks cool. also, the way the Proxies move does showcase that they are indeed powerful
Story and Environment: okay, not much can be said about the story for now. Set in the future, some sort of humanoid thing called a "Proxy" escaped from somewhere. one thing that i also read somewhere else, the future world in which the show is set is FULL of cliche things about sci-fi, like androids becoming sentient, love androids, different classes of citizens, etc. there is not much originality there i have to say. but its only one ep and maybe (probably) the world is more screwed up than we think. we'll see.
Characters: interesting characters. I like Lir and her Autorave (Iggy?) and I like the Proxies. other than that, I'm waiting to see what will happen to the other people. the migrant guy sounds like he is weak (although his actions do show some mental strength). Law is totally unknown to me and the Hitler-looking guy annoys me (yes he didn't do anything but... i don't like him).
bottom line. good episode, and great intro for a show! I'll be downloading the real version (with OP by radiohead?) feb 25th..
oh and the translation by that group is not very good. also, when Lir and iggy(?) talk in the car, its normal to have static (i thought my speakers had a problem... they should have made it a more pleasant kind of static)
Now I see why Anime-Kraze dropped Blood+...

Alright I was hoping that a good sub group would have the balls to do it
Awesome, it seems we got the subber for this series, I can't wait for releases.
RAW is out!!! Can't wait for kraze tor release... I hope they fucking finish Monster soon so that they can hurry up with this shit

I have been trying to download this for a while to see if it was fake or real. I mean wasnt it supposed to come out on the 25th.
Humm, you are right... This is probably a fake then... I hope it isn't though...
It isn't a fake. There's info on the Ergo Proxy official site about it. It's got the same content that the ep airing on 2/25 will have, but without the OP and ED. Another torrent for the raw.
I get sound but no image. sounds like is has a lot of action but I dont know I dont speak Japanese it could be fake the resolution is 1280x720 so the file size (271mb) doesnt look correct
Cool, I'm downloading from SoftSubs now. And OP by radiohead, that's cool. Too bad I'm on vacation when it airs.
Jelly has got to be one of the worst groups I've ever seen.
I'm almost positive it is supposed to be 'Lil', 'Autolaves' and 'Raul' = Law. Admittedly, those are excusable, but overall I don't think I have ever seen a group that does a worse job.
There will be plenty of good groups doing this when the actual first episode airs... No need to jump in and watch this crappy groups bastardize a series...
I'm glad to also be well aware of that. It'll probably even be a show that will be quickly oversubbed. I'm not even sure why they jumped to using a crappy pre-release without the OP/ED.
I just really wanted to see how bad of a job they were gonna do on it.
yea, for real, something this good should be watched at its best. The actual release is just 2 weeks ahead, so there is not need to hurry and grab whatever you find on the road....especially, after knowing that you'll find something better at the end.
Ergo Proxy Episode 1 - Y-F & A-U
so i can't really figure out which groups the acronyms indicate, but here's a release of episode 1. Hopefully its the one with the OP and ED, tho it'll be awhile before i check as i'm on my way out the door.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
BakaUpdates says its a group called Yoroshiku...(?)
A-U is Anime-United, which is a speedsub group. I know of a couple good groups with plans on this, so I'm just gonna wait.
Notes on Ergo Proxy episode 1
Its basically just a little bit of info on 'Cogito ergo sum' and the name of the Cogito virus. Then there's a bunch of translations of the opening quote and the history of the quote. Most of that info was in my post above.
What's interesting (and I can't believe I missed this) was that they noticed that in Ergo Proxy the Donov Mayer (Lil's grandfather) has an office that is essentially a copy of Palazzao dei Medici, the place where Michelangelo's quote is written underneath a statue. It was really poor oversight on my part since I've actually recently been to that palace (but, then again, the actual Palazzo is very bright and well-lit while Mayer's office is incredibly dark...)
Nothing that noteworthy, but I'm glad they're making an effort to catalogue some of the more subtle, easy to miss details about this show.
Edit: Notes on Ergo Proxy Episode 2 also out. Haven't read yet.
