Another anime complicated with philosophies, washed-out colors, blood, and ...unfortunately, quite generic characters and rather disjointed stories.

This anime is filled with philosophies, quoting directly from many known philosophies, and make the words coming from the mouth of the characters; in stories or in "unstories".

Unstories?

Yes. There are plenty of them in the last parts of this series. Episodes that take part inside the characters minds but the causes of the events are not explained fully;those episodes serve only as a "way-out" for the storywriters to compress many ideas into vessels that are not burdened by the weights of the storylines.

Confused? Yep. That's the reason why I cannot enjoy this series fully; there are many confusing turn of events that are either explained using dark-colored statics, monologues, or...out-of-the-world events.

To compress the stories: Mankind have left the earth rendered barren by the uncontrollable release of Methane-Hydrate from the melting polar ices (watch out, smokers!) and have left 300 uber-duper-super-oh-godly creatures called Proxies behind as tools to cleanse the earth and regenerate earth by using advanced material-manipulating technological miracles encoded inside their brains. The proxies then created several dome-protected colonies on the barren earth, complete with their faux-paradises, rigid-order system, and...yes...somehow populated by humans made by..the proxies. But when the humans are returning from space, the proxies are then made insane because...they would be eliminated by the returning humans. So the proxies went insane on their own way, and reflected by the state of their dome-paradises. And yeah, the proxies-made-humans are prone to do philosophies and have companion cyborgs that are prone to do philosophies went the are infected by Cogito (ergo sum) virus. Philosophies tend to make humans screwed up; Artificial Intelligences tend to screw up when not fed enough data; and anime viewers then to feel screwed up if not fed clear animations..

..meh..if only the actions are done nicely...

and oh yeah:

You complete My Faith *shivers*
The Word Unwinds Inside of me *shivers*
You Complete My Faith *shivers*
The Halo Crawls Away *shivers*
