just binge-watched this today and I very much get Ergo Proxy vibes from it. not with atmosphere or tone at all, no, but story elements and several themes that I’ll try to remember rq.

the puppet propaganda is taken right from EP Smileland idc 100% which was my first suspicion. humans from the past creating a failsafe which the protagonists get wrapped into yet know nothing of. ground zero being pretty much a dome city. and the creeping civil protest and awakening.

I wish I kept track more but I really wasn’t expecting it to have similar elements. just wondering if anyone has thought the same?
