Ergo Proxy and Shinigami's Ballad

[katikat]

Last night, I watched the first episode of Ergo Proxy. It was... different. Action, dark, dark stuff, robots, unpleasant future, a very strong female character... It's definitely different from other anime that appear these days and that are all light colors and simple design. Don't take me wrong, this anime is wonderfully drawn and the plot snatches you from the very first minute. It's definitely a keeper and I can't wait to watch the next episode!

Shinigami's Ballad on the other hand... It appears to be a less violent, less dark but just as sad clone of Jigoku Shoujo. There is no revenge but every episode tells the viewers a story about two characters and one of them dies at the end of course. The main character is the White Shinigami who cries for her victims because they can't cry anymore since they are dead. I'm not sure if I will follow this one. As I said, it reminds me too much of Jigoku Shoujo. It's one thing when there are two very similar mecha-anime but two anime of this sort... I don't know.

Where did you find Ergo Proxy? I've been wanting to see it, but I've never seen a torrent posted anywhere.

I did enjoy Ergo Proxy, very much! It was on my "To Watch" list from the last time I looked up new anime. It must have been delayed until this season. Anyway, I'm so glad you gave me the link! *chu*
