| Really missing the original ED. |
| Good episode about how Yayoi joined the team..also, we got a different look at the Sibyl System when a group of musicians are trying to rebel against the system. I don't like the new OP lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| was not expecting the new op.... hmm well let's see how it goes |
 |
| Lol 'Yayoi', maybe she has an interest on Yaoi. The Rehab changed Yayoi. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| NOOOOOO. They changed OP and ED. What the fuck. : ( The first ones were so good, they were easily some of my favourite parts of this show. These second ones... Not so much. : ( R.i.p. that sick opening tune of the first ED that capped off each episode so perfectly, as well as those sickass character mugshots it had (seriously, they were so fucking cool) R.i.p. the killer vocals (that I couldn't help/stop trying to sing along to) and direction of the first OP Also this episode really didn't have very good direction. And was just more silly than usual I feel. |

| I wonder why she didn't questioned the Sybil system even after what happened to her... |
| I found the OP animation lacking, but I really like the new ED song! This episode was a nice look into the world and the viewpoints of different characters who live in it. Kougami manipulated Yayoi into joining and Sasayami seemed a bit crazy. Dude was excited that he was allowed execution mode on his dominator and even smirked after he killed him. Made me question "Are we the bad guys?" haha. Either way, there are definitely things wrong with this society, and I'm curious as to why so many morally questionable things are okay with most people. Like how when you get put into "rehabilitation," there's a very small chance that you'll ever leave because the environment of that place naturally makes your hue even worse. This seems to be common knowledge but no one seems to be protesting the practice. |
| So far, the people who have opposed Sybil have been making valid points... Yayoi's backstory was nice, and somewhat provides details concerning their pasts. |
  Floating Around... "You're loved as deeply as the ocean reaches"  |
| Ah yes it clicks for me now. Fight against the system is the theme of this anime, I was oblivious to this during previous eps because it was quite boring and I didn't pay much attention lol |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| This episode tells about Yayoi's past |
 |
| It’s a good & thought-provoking episode with worldbuilding & so much character development but hope it ties together with the main timeline, otherwise it’s pretty out of place pacing. Also Sasayama is.......different from what I expected to say the least. And Ginoza was so different then. He seems like a pretty complex character, I like him. Also really liked when Kougami said that the system was right about Yayoi’s aptitude as a potential Enforcer. It’s so ironic at the same time how he eventually loses himself in the same system. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| i don't really get yaoi's motivations but ok SolidPayne said: So the Sybil System decides to throw you in jail and call you a criminal because you like to listen to shitty grunge music? Not gonna lie, guys. That's pretty weak. This whole Sybil System is so stupid and flawed that even an infant could point out what's wrong with it and I get it "the government's corrupt" blah blah blah. I wasn't born yesterday I've seen this shit before but in most stories about a corrupt government, they usually try to be a little bit more subtle than this and even then if this thing doesn't do any good and in fact has done nothing but made things worse, what fucking good is it and why would anyone go along with this? The human race can be naive but we're not this stupid. It's the same sorta problem I had with the film Equilibrium, I don't buy that we as a race would decide to just give up our emotions. Sorry ain't fucking buying it. The sybil system should be a top secret conspiracy or something, not well known and explain to the public. The stupidity of this system and how everyone reacts to it takes me straight out of this anime. Well, that and how generically stereotypical these characters are and how generic the setting is This anime better get read good real fast because I'm really close to dropping it a lower rating than the 6 I'm giving it and then just go watch Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex instead. Characters are way cooler, it's far more original and the music's done by Yoko Kanno i know you wrote this 99 years ago but assuming that you somehow retain the same views, you might be surprised how narrow-minded the general populace may be willing to conform to, let alone one that is japanese - and in this particular setting seems to have grown up with it it's also an anime and warrants some suspension of disbelief lol |
 |
| I probably don't. I haven't watched it in years so I don't know how I'd feel about it if I watched it again so you're probably right. That being said the argument of "It's anime just roll with it" isn't a good excuse, unless you're talking about an over the top shounen series or something. Every piece of medium requires suspension of disbelief to a degree but you can't just brush shit off with "well it's just this medium, just go with it" especially with a series like this that's suppose to be more grounded and serious |
| I like the old OP more |
| like that after mind blowing episode we got some character episode to lighten the mood a little. didn't liked though that musician in the future are going to be politician force or whatever lol. dunno about the OP it was little strange after the 1st one, but the ED was nice as the 1st. |
| I was expecting the aftermath of previous episode. Guess it'll be in the next one. But to lie about the Dominator? We know how Kougami is but damn that's a smart one ;) |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| Funny how Ernie Ball allowed them to use their trademark. Aside from that it was a dumb episode though. Why did she become a criminal in the first place? Just because she had contact with another one? How did they catch her? And why did she decide to become an enforcer in the end? Because Koga lied to her? Because she was not able to stop a criminal? Huh? |
| Yayoi hadn't had much development prior to this episode, so the insight into her backstory was a pleasant surprise. The dominators locking themselves down and being unable to fire if the target has some arbitrary number lower than what permits firing seems stupid to me too. I neglected to bring this up before, but it would be a more effective weapon if it still read the crime coefficient so that the user could choose whether or not to fire based on the number, but didn't disallow firing under any circumstance. Since only a select few authorised individuals are allowed to wield them anyway, in the off chance that someone did misuse them, they could be punished. The current system that gun uses endangers more lives than it saves. |
  ｲ乇刀乇乃尺ﾑ乇 ㊎   ㊰☽ Shaded Horizon ☾ |
| She left the nail polish and the guitar string behind :( In this system there’s no chance for them rehabilitate properly |
 |
| Finally the story about this girl.. Music only good for gov lol 😂 Rina's band is anti-gov N starting from this point I am guessing that every main chara finally will realized that they can't depend fully on the system / the system is trash / misleading.. |
 |
| This show is sometimes great and sometimes so badly written. Like others have implied in this thread, am I supposed to sympathise with a government dog like Yayoi during that pivotal exchange with the singer? Because I was 100% with the rebellious singer who wanted to bring down a fucked up dystopia through any means necessary. Yayoi's motivations made very little sense considering her background, and the episode's direction was orchestrated in a way to make her seem like a tragic hero, and the singer a villain. With better direction and usage of music, the director could have still told the exact same story: that of a woman throwing away her principles to salvage a modicum of life outside a cell, she would rather be the oppressor than a victim. |

I liked that cool band in the beginning and the new OP!
Anyways, I also liked seeing a lot of Yayoi this episode. I didn't know she had friends from a band. I liked the latter half of this episode with the dominators. After watching the episode, Yayoi is one cool chick imo :3

| @Stark700 ya :D I loved that we got some backstory for a character that was in the main group, but wasn't emphasized as much. |
| The prison where Yayoi was really reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for some reason, and sheesh is it a horror material, especially when the room turned red and that doctor or whatever that woman was started speaking to Yayoi in a hypnotizing voice, telling her lies of how she'll get away from there if she behaves good enough, like a fucking dog. So it's the second part of the anime when shit gets real huh. Maybe i got used to it, but maybe the reasons people give out as to why Sybil sucks become more and more sensical. |

Saww_Duss said: I loved that we got some backstory for a character that was in the main group, but wasn't emphasized as much. Me too and I also feel that throughout the franchise all of them will be well explored in a way that enriches the story, without any character being simply a device to further develop another, main character. I really like that about Psycho-Pass. |
