FUNimation has dipped into the re-release pile a bit with word coming out that they will be releasing Ergo Proxy some time this year. The series was one that started its life during the Geneon Entertainment days but towards the end, which caused problems with distribution and FUNimation stepped in to act as distributor for many Geneon titles while their licenses were good. This title expired awhile ago according to reports so the news that FUNimation is bringing it back is good (and leaves many fans hopeful for a Blu-ray upgrade at that, though there isn’t one in Japan yet). Check out the newly released trailer below and you can find discussion on this announcement here.

Plot Concept: The domed city of Romdo is an impenetrable would-be utopia where humans and robots coexist, and everything is under complete government control, or so it appears. While working on a mysterious murder case, Re-l Mayer, a female detective from the Civilian Intelligence Office, receives a foreboding message that something is going to “awaken.” That night, she’s attacked by a deformed super-being…what was this unidentified monster that attacked her, and who was the figure that came in between them? As Re-l attempts to unlock this spiraling mystery, a metaphysical battle cry leads her to the unknown outside world…
