Ergo Proxy owes quite a bit to the 1960s series The Prisoner. This becomes apparent near the end of the series. It also utilizes elements of Ghost in the Shell, Logan's Run, and Blade Runner.
The art style is excellent and so is the music. Pacing's good, characters are interesting, and the sense of atmosphere helps to create an immersive world for the viewer to dwell in.
Lots of references to mythological and historical figures, along with some notable philosophers and thinkers. They even visually explain (near the end) why Daedalus has the name he has as his creation flies 'too close to the sun.'
For people who enjoyed Ghost in the Shell and the atmosphere of manga/anime like Blame!, I think you'll also enjoy this one too.
Both the Japanese and English versions are good. However, if you want a darker experience, try watching it in Japanese with English subtitles.
