1. Gilgamesh
Tatsuya and Kiyoko are two siblings in Gilgamesh’s futuristic dystopia. No technology exists in the post-Twin X world, which was radically altered by a terrorist attack. Tatsuya and Kiyoko’s mother owing a large sum of money to several creditors, and these creditors are relentless in their pursuit of the twins.
The twins’ father, Gilgamesh, who led the Twin X attack, appears to be collaborating with the debt collectors. Despite the anime setting up everything from the very beginning, viewers are still left wondering what will happen next by the end of each episode. You’ll adore Gilgamesh if you enjoyed Ergo Proxy because it has all the characteristics of a great post-apocalyptic anime.
2. Pale Cocoon
The story of how humanity’s actions have separated itself physically from the planet and its inhabitants is told in Pale Cocoon. The gloomy tone of the anime works wonderfully to emphasise the tales of the unknown sky’s and the lower level’s residents.
The main character, Ura, and his old friend, Riko, work for the Archive Excavation Department, whose job it is to recover forgotten historical records, to learn more about the department and its mission than is known to humans at the present time. A good amount of intrigue is present, and the visual aesthetic is stunning. The anime, like Ergo Proxy, is quite cerebral and may need to be seen more than once to fully appreciate.
3. Casshern Sins
All of Casshern Sins’s events take place in a dystopian future where civilization has collapsed and the world has been reduced to dust. Casshern’s consumption is the last resort for survival, as humans are going extinct and robots need spare parts to keep running.
Casshern has no recollection of how he came to be under constant attack by robots or why he alone was spared from the devastation. The robots in Casshern Sins have their own personality, and the post-apocalyptic atmosphere is similar to that of Robotech. Both shows feature protagonists who must overcome amnesia and discover their life’s actual mission.
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion
There are many who argue that Neon Genesis Evangelion is the best anime ever made. Evangelion and Ergo Proxy share a similar post-apocalyptic setting. The events of the anime take place in the future, after the “Second Impact” obliterated Tokyo and gave rise to Tokyo III. The mysterious beings known as Angels quickly lay siege to Tokyo III after it is built.
The tale centres on the trio of Asuka, Rei, and Shinji as humanity is driven to rely on technological advancements to battle the alien threat. The end of the world is nigh, and fans of post-apocalyptic anime need not worry; this one delivers in spades. The Evangelion anime is fairly old at this point, but it holds up quite well. It’s also one of the best shows to see if you’re curious about the perennially popular mecha genre in the world of anime.
5. Witch Hunter Robin
The protagonist of Witch Hunter Robin, a female protagonist, is tasked by an unknown group with the capture of witches. The story’s protagonist is put in a difficult position and forces her to wonder what’s going on as she witnesses an increase in witch-related incidents and the witches’ misuse of their power.
With less of a focus on action than its predecessor, Witch Hunter Robin instead emphasises atmosphere and narrative. If you enjoyed Ergo Proxy because of its attractive presentation, you will also enjoy Witch Hunter Robin. The alternate dystopian future is fascinating, and each episode will keep you riveted to your seat.
6. Darker Than Black
7. Serial Experiments Lain
Repeated Measures If you’re looking for a mystery anime with some psychological undertones, look no further than Lain, one of the oldest titles on this list. Iwakura Lain, a 14-year-old boy, is at the centre of the story. He receives a message from his departed buddy Chisa.
A part of the ‘Wired’ universe is thrust onto him. The anime’s complex philosophical concepts and issues about existence itself manage to deliver an experience akin to that of Ergo Proxy, but they may require a second viewing or internet conversations to fully grasp.
