Yeah, the anonymous comments are screened first, until I decide to show them. Don't worry, I deleted your other comments like you wanted.
Your interpretation can also be correct. The ending is open and it's up to the viewer to decide what happens. Personally I thought Vincent wouldn't attack the space humans, but if he was provoked by them, he would. His expression at the end with his glowing eyes suggested that he might do something (in my opinion).
I also agree that Vincent just wanted to experience the world with Re-l and Pino, but maybe all this wasn't clear in my post. I'll edit the last paragraph.
As for the Sartre quotes, I didn't notice them. I don't know much about philosophy you see.
Cureclover, you have my thanks ! I saw for the first time Ergo Proxy this week and I love it. The artwork, the character design and development, the world and the poetry in some pictures... But I admit, i didn't understand each detail. I must watch Ergo Proxy again, after read your guide. Your job was really helpful. One question, in the first episode, the voice in Romdeau said "use whitout moderation". Does it mean pseudo-humains not pollute like us or their technology allows this? And pseudo-huamins can't give life by themselves but they can have sex? We saw just Re-l Mayer kiss Vincent but no other erotic touch.
1) Use without moderation: One of the tasks of the dome humans was to make Earth inhabitable again if they could. The humans in the dome are encouraged to consume as much as possible and leave waste, because that helps the eco-system get going again. They dump the waste outside of the dome as you see in later episodes. (You asked a good question. I'll add this explanation to my episode guide if someone else has the same question.)
2) Pseudo humans can have sex just like normal humans. Being sterile doesn't prevent them from doing that. They just won't be able to have babies.
2) Ok, i had some doubts because we don't see a lot of loveliness.
Otherwise, i'm agree with you, that Vincent wouldn't attack the "real" humans first. But he will defend what he loves and himself, like he did from the start of the anime when he's Vincent.
That anime looks like Wolf's Rain at some point, but a little more optimistic I guess. Because at the end, Earth "reborn", Android and pseudohumains can be independent, and of course, because Re-l Mayer and Vincent can share their love. And if we're optimistic, it's possible to share the world until the death of all pseudo humains (because they can't give life). Humains can coexist with Android. The only problem for real humains will be Ergo Proxy existence. Humains don't like stronger existence that could be a hindrance.
Yeah, I meant habitable. I fixed it in the episode guide.
Vincent and Re-l's relationship developed slowly. It took a while for them to trust each other and become friends. Vincent was in love with her, but Re-l wasn't in love with Vincent yet. So it's normal that nothing happens for a while. I think they will grow closer after the end of the anime.
THANKSSS!! i got around to this anime late. i was trying to analyze and understand and just couldnt...all i cared about was PINO safty !!!!!!! but now i can see the beauty in it.

I'm glad the guide helped you.
