Ergo Proxy

It's my night for new media. I just finished watching episode 1 of Ergo Proxy, which on the Shammy Scale is a solid seven, so far (the Shammy Scale, named after a baffling but beautiful anime, Shamanic Princess). I was particularly at sea as the fansub was apparently performed by non-native speakers of either English or Japanese. Add to that the deliberate attempt to paint a future so separated from our own world as to seem alien, and it will take me a few episodes to get a grip.

But for now, I am content to sit back and let it wash over me. It's got style, even if the substance is rather murky as yet.
