From this point of view, Ergo Proxy, a Japanese anime (animated series), is interesting and relevant, because despite its sci-fi genre it fuses different philosophical schools (e.g. existentialism, phenomenology, relativism) into itself in such a way so that they form one whole. At the same time, the not easily extractable realistic message of the story is obviously present in the narrative. The storylines of the anime create loops which tend towards their own beginning \u2013 this phenomenon makes certain \u201clayer-like\u201d interpretations possible, which then can be used to connect seemingly unrelated levels of the narrative structure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
