With works like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, Ghost in the Shell, and even the more recent Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, anime has given its fans some of the most iconic sci-fi titles ever. The genre dominated the landscape of anime and manga during the late '80s and '90s, as series after series appeared, taking cues from the last mega hit to build their own fictional worlds. However, one show premiered just as the trend was taking its dying breath, and has largely flown under the radar ever since: 2006's Ergo Proxy.
