I'm the only person I know who thinks this has been a very entertaining season. Couple of small issues, but a great season nonetheless. Going to miss it when it's gone.

Poor grandma :( No respect for the elderly

I really hope both Tougane and Kamui die by the end of this. Can't stand either one of those pricks.

769? Shit, he's even more insane than I first thought.

Is Mika going to die or get incarcerated at the end? I'm getting an insane, deathy vibe from her right now.

I miss Kougami...the REAL Kougami :/


I also want to know what will happen to Mika.. probably turn into a latent criminal and become and enforcer?



Sounds like a satisfying end to me.

Dammit. I had so much faith in Mika. I wanted her to change; to redirect her feelings of hatred from Akane to the Sibyl System. She breaks my heart TT^TT

One of the things I hate and love about Akane is how strong she is mentally. She doesn't break down even when her loved ones are killed, but at the same time, I want to see her fall, then rise up again. Perhaps it's because Psycho-Pass is so short that her worst moments are only several minutes long, but I can't help but feel tired of seeing the same Akane.

Season 2 is mirroring 1 too much. In 1, where faced with the showdown between a guy with a low CC and an Enforcer, and the same is happening now. However, I'm hoping the difference will be that unlike season 1, Akane will be able to save both.

Kasei is a really great character. I wouldn't want to be friends with her, but I think she makes a great villain. One of the few intellectual female villains, actually..

Oh Mika, you break my heart everytime~

Actually, it seems that she was somewhat useful this episode.

How he found them? ..a certain phonecall comes to mind.
What did she say just before they were interrupted?


It's just that her character up to this point has been so annoying, boring, and uesless that it's hard to like her.

And yeah you're right about that. I remembered it about 5 minutes after posting that question but was too lazy to delete it.

I can't say I disagree with you.
My theory is that Mika is supposed to be a contrast to Akane when it comes to Sybil.
One that thinks everything Sybil does is correct, while the other knows just about "everything"
about the system and is reluctantly following what is said..until she can do something about
it, or gets fed up with it.

Edit: Mika also knows a thing or two, but I assume she got the short (and probably not entirely true) version.

I must be having some sort of memory lapse of this massive long term characterization and unpredictability involving Mika's friend and said friend's fate Alfonse and Suzie, but all I remember from Mika and her friend was they were in a school with the popular, but secretly evil chick, and Mika's friend became noticed by that chick, started hanging out with her and then killed. Considering we knew said chick was evil and her eyes has no soul in them or whatever it was, I don't see how it was any less predictable or contrived that she'd kill Mika's friend who she had interest in.

Well...better episode than the previous travesty. I'm tempted to dissect the silliness, but I think the writing made it obvious enough--no need to belabor it anymore LOL. The only thing I really enjoyed was the PP1 BG theme playing when Kogami 'appeared'.

I'll say this though--there was just way too much plot to address in so few eps. If anything S1 would have faired better with a shorter season rather than this one, so I won't bash the writer/director. Would Butcher have done much better? Maybe, but I doubt it.

On a side note, this episode hopefully should shut some haters up, ESPECIALLY that reviewer in AnimeNewsNetwork whose name I refuse to mention. This episode is why you should judge an anime as a collective whole rather by simply throwing a D or lower grade at each of its individual episodes.


?? I thought this episode was the worst of the bunch, I laughed the whole time (or other times I facepalmed, too), so no I think the haters should just speak up. And lol, don't take ANN reviews so seriously...

Finally Akane figured out what was happening and showed them (the Toganes) how motherf**** she is (thanks to "Kogami")! I hope Togane has died (and I want Kirito to have the same fate too). I think that if Mika doesn't die in the end, she will be arrested and sent to a rehabilitation facility, in other words, she will end like that skull tattooed guy of season 1, or even worse. She will be a crazy bitch, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

That was a huge freaking cliff hanger. Please no ass pulls next episode, like Tougane dodging or being immune to dominators. And please no he threw the knife before he blew up or something.

Cannot wait for the next episode holy crap

769


I wouldn't be too hopeful. Many characters throughout season 1 could barely hit what they were aiming at, such as Makishima's cronies (the hunter, the guys with nailguns, etc.), and even Kogami himself in the final fight.

Good chance it'll end up as a drawn out battle.

I don't know how to feel about this episode. It was certainly good, but next week's the last episode and I dont know how I feel about that.

That Kougami illusion, I wonder if Kougami will actually come back. There's no way they can wrap the franchise up without him. I'm also glad the Akane is doing what she thinks is right and not listening to that bitch chief. I really hope that Kamui shot Togane, but I doubt Togane would be killed off that easily. Hope to see a Kamui vs. Togane fight like Kougami Vs. Makishima.

Also, i'm not understanding how her grandma dying would cloud Akane's PP. She witnessed her friend die in S1 right before her eyes, able to stop it but couldn't and her PP was fine. Why is Sybil and Tougane thinking that this situation would be any different? I feel like Tougane is just wasting his time.


Answer: Simply because it's her grandma and not her friend. Ask anyone on the street and most of them would say that family weighs more emotionally then a friend who you meet during college days. Except for orphans maybe (oops...)


Sorry .. but bollocks to that. In PP1 she watched and and fails to act as her friend who she hangs out with regularly gets her throat cut in front of her. In PP2 her grandmother who she rarely interacts with is kidnapped and killed away from her. Which of these 2 seem more traumatic to you?

My take on this season is that the new director basically misinterpreted what was good about S1 and tried to amplify those elements in S2. Considering Urobuchi is directing the movie, this season basically just feels like filler to add hype for it; which basically ends up making PP S2 feel pretty worthless.

Not saying it's terrible and complete trash; there are definitely times where I felt that same rush of adrenaline you get from watching PP S1 (and this episode is definitely one of the better ones in the season), but when compared with S1, there are significantly more plot holes, questionable plot elements, fairly negligible character development and poor pacing. They probably could have done a lot better job with this with maybe a few more episodes (two cour feels too long for this plot line) but I guess this is how the cookie crumbles.

When the movie comes out, I'm probably going to consider that S2 never happened in terms of canon.

I wouldn't be surprised if the movie builds on the world as defined by both S1 and S2, just as
S2 builds on the world from S1. If so, then its going to be difficult to say that S2 never happened.

Well that was the episode I've been waiting for.

All of the pieces are put together and now everyone can finally understand who the real villain is *cough cough Togane foundation cough cough*

769 CC? Holy shit Togane! I'm surprised the dominator didn't go into nuke mode.

So basically we see now that even though he had some awful methods, Kamui is actually trying to do something good for society. And as much as it pains me to admit it, and I wont forgive him for causing Aoyanagi's death, his actions are kind of justifiable.

Kill like 30-50 people to reach the goal of being able to judge Sybil, which judges society and has led to countless fuckups.

As much as I would like to think that Kamui shot Togane at the end, more than likely Akane hit his arms and blocked his shot while Togane ran and ended up stabbing her with his knife.

Time to see how this coms to a close next week.

Uhhh.. it would actually be nearly impossible to bring him back.

Near the ending of S1, Sibyl/Kasei made it imperative that they would only allow Kogami to live if Akane captured Makishima successfully. She didn't, so Kogami is kill-on-sight anywhere in Japan.

There's literally no way for him to return in the series unless all of the action takes place in an area without scanners or drones. Otherwise other division Enforcers/Inspectors will track him down and use Lethal Eliminator.

The episode made me go ''YES! YES! YES!'' when they showed Kougami. But then it turned it out was a figment of Akane's imagination. I crie all the time, I swear. ;-;
Overall though, intense episode, which sets up for the finale of this season next week. We can expect it to be a bittersweet ending where no one truly is the winner.

I'm surprised people can even say that Akane developed. I keep hearing about it, but I don't see any character development from her at all... She got boring, and that's coming from someone who adored her in the first season.

How exactly did she evolve as a character? She's just a badass investigator who tries to understand and arrest Kamui. Yup, all cool, except how does any of that concern her personality? Didn't saw any changes, didn't see anything that wouldn't fit in a cardboard cutout, all the time throughout this season.

Eh, I feel like they're just going through the motions this time. The journey is fun, but compared against season 1 this just isn't even close.

The demolitions twist was the only part that I flat out rolled my eyes over, while the high point was definitely the 769 CC reveal. Cripes you evil (though given that, I'd say mommy actually failed at the whole criminally asymptomatic baby thing)

I love psycho-pass, I think it's a diamond amongst animes, but I'm also starting to realise just how flawed this season is, unfortunately.

Why isn't eye-patch girl removed from the sibyl system so she can't use her dominator?
Where does Kamui get all this information from? Why does he operate solely based on hypothetical grounds?
This one is funny... how can 5-6 dominators override sybils main system? In season one I remember Kagari snucking into the main system chamber.. and DAMN that thing is huge. How 5-6 dominators override that system is beyond me.

Props to Akane for repressing her anger and keeping her psycho-pass clear. It's sad to see that she still looks up to Kougami for inspiration, but she needed something to calm her down so.. it's forgivable.

Except we got to see the character more, and had no problem with it. You did care for her a little, and no one really expected her or even predicted that she was there to get killed. Here, with Tougane's goal already set and explained, you could easily deduce that grandma was there just to get murdered. Not to mention, her grandmother came out of nowhere (unless they mentioned her in S1)
I don't really see it as a big deal either, but it does seem half-assed and lazy

Also, i'm not understanding how her grandma dying would cloud Akane's PP. She witnessed her friend die in S1 right before her eyes, able to stop it but couldn't and her PP was fine. Why is Sybil and Tougane thinking that this situation would be any different? I feel like Tougane is just wasting his time.


Akane's grandma WAS mentioned in S1. When Kogami and Akane first visited Saiga, it was mentioned that she grew up with her grandmother.
So now I guess you can understand why she would feel this way. Family definitely > Friend.
------------------------

Anyways, the whole colective entity thing was great, it really explains how Kamui's plan of bringing Sibyl to "judgement" can actually work out.
Can't wait to see how this season ends, and hope that there is gonna be more Psycho Pass after the movie.

lol I don't think it's the toxic MAL community. As a big fan of season 1, I myself have been enjoying this up until the last 2-3 episodes. It's a different studio after all, not a big surprise that this season doesn't live up to the first one. I call it the filler season myself. I'll still give this a high rating because as a standalone series it's pretty good.
I think people's expectations are just way too high coming from season 1.

Dis gun b gud. It's a matter of time before she turn dark.

Dat hue brah. 769. Most of the ones we saw were 350-400 if I remember well, that's insane in comparaison.

Even if Kamui methods are horrible and that he's pretty much an asshole, I hope he succeed in his quest of justice. Sybil just is a horrible system in overall, judging people and killing them for trivial reason when meanwhile, some people have fun slaugthering a ton of people. Those brains need to be fried for fuck sake.
