But, I think we both know that many anime that are intended for men and boys (on paper) these days pander (annoyingly at times) to the female demographic, and this anime is just another example of that. To an extent. But it's rare that it's overt enough to turn off the original male fanbase. One has to be a bit overly sensitive to drop a series they otherwise like just because a lot of women also enjoy it. And considering all the pandering that is done to male otaku, I'm certainly not going to begrudge the ladies a few bishounen. I totally support equal opportunity pandering. All I care is that the anime is fun to watch or interesting. BUY YUYUSHIKI BDS ALL DAY EVERY DAY |

All I care is that the anime is fun to watch or interesting. I never drop an anime for a reason like that (hell I hardly ever drop an anime, even if I hate it lol). But it's still really annoying sometimes. I mean why the hell would an anime intended for young boys see fit to have it's male MC kiss another major male character right on the third ep of the show? (Naruto) I don't like all this pandering, I'd prefer that an anime either strictly for males or strictly for females or strictly gender neutral. But that's just me I guess.. |

Gender neutral is rather hard to achieve under such a strict definition though. In any case, I don't accept the idea of rigid, unchanging gender roles. I'd miss out on a lot of good shows that intentionally target both (Code Geass, Inu x Boku) or target one but are very accessible to the other (Maria-sama ga Miteru, K-ON!, Natsume Yuujin-chou). Overly rigid gender demographics reinforce rigid story content. I think it's also difficult to define what "strictly for males" or "strictly for females" means. Just in terms of fanservice or character designs? Character archetypes? Marketed merchandise? BUY YUYUSHIKI BDS ALL DAY EVERY DAY |

Just in terms of fanservice or character designs? Character archetypes? Marketed merchandise? I guess a good example of an anime strictly for males is Kaiji, it's an all male cast and they're all either ugly or mildly unattractive and although some females might like it, it doesn't pander to them on a sexual or emotional level so they like it for the right reasons, in my humble opinion (and Madhouse in general don't pander as much as others it seems). But, I think we're over analyzing this. All I'm saying is that these girly character designs don't fit this anime (if it's really trying to be serious like GITS, where the men are mostly macho and unattractive and the women are sexy, not cute). I hope you can at least agree with me on that. |

I hope you can at least agree with me on that. Honestly, I don't see the male character designs as girly at all. "Appealing to women" is not the same as "girly". There are no particularly feminine traits visible, unless having enough hair to warrant use of a comb makes one a woman. BUY YUYUSHIKI BDS ALL DAY EVERY DAY |

It looks like EGOIST will be performing the ED song. The composer is Ryo from Supercell, with Chelly providing the vocals obviously. (EGOIST also sang the first ED and the second OP for Guilty Crown) |

Just adding reference to my previous post. "先程のリツイートのとおりですが、今秋のノイタミナ「PSYCHO-PASS」という作品にてEGOISTがEDテーマを担当させていただくことになりました. 3rdシングルにもなるそうで、タイトルは「名前のない怪物」" Taken from Chelly's twitter. Basically translates to "In the upcoming fall anime on Noitamina Psycho-Pass, EGOIST will be performing the ED song. It will be our 3rd single called Nameless Monster (Namae No Nai Kaibutsu)" iLostReason said: monkeii said: It looks like EGOIST will be performing the ED song.

Really hope that it doesn't become like Guilty Crown. Hopefully Urobuchi will deliver. |

Something to possibly raise everyone's expectations. Not sure if it's a reliable source but w/e, doesn't hurt to post: http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/10o52z/psychopass_2nd_pv/c6f5rxy |

Urobuchi + Amano + Supercell Ryo and Chelly + I.G = pure win  ~ IA- Aria on the Planetes ~ Vocaloid V3 voiced by LiA (Clannad Afterstory, Angel Beats! theme song singer) |
