Ergo Proxy

In a post-apocalyptic future, humanity clings to existence within domed cities, their lives meticulously managed by an advanced civilization of AutoReiv androids. Within the gleaming metropolis of Romdeau, Inspector Re-l Mayer investigates a series of brutal murders, each linked to a mysterious phenomenon known as the "Awakening." But these gruesome events are merely the prelude to a far greater mystery: the emergence of "Proxies," enigmatic beings whose very existence threatens the fragile peace of their isolated world. As Re-l delves deeper into the conspiracy, she finds herself entangled with Vincent Law, an immigrant with a forgotten past, and a childlike AutoReiv named Pino, who has inexplicably gained self-awareness. Together, their journey will take them beyond the sterile confines of Romdeau, into a desolate, unforgiving world where the line between human and machine blurs, and the true meaning of their existence hangs in the balance.
