Psycho-Pass 2

A year and a half after the events of the original sci-fi psychological thriller, Akane Tsunemori continues her work as an inspector—enforcing the Sibyl System's judgments. Joining her are new enforcers and junior inspector Mika Shimotsuki, a young woman blindly and inflexibly loyal to Sibyl. As Akane ponders both the nature of her job and the legitimacy of Sibyl's verdicts, a disturbing new menace emerges.

A mysterious figure has discovered a way to control the Crime Coefficient—a number compiled from mental scans that allows Sibyl to gauge psychological health and identify potential criminals. Through these means, he is able to murder an enforcer, leaving behind a cryptic clue: "WC?" scrawled in blood on a wall.

Akane and the rest of Division 01 soon find themselves playing a deadly game against their new foe, coming face-to-face with a conspiracy threatening not only the authority of the Sibyl System, but the very foundation of Akane's own convictions.

Psycho-Pass 2 is a 2014 anime that follows on from the first season's story, delving into the same themes of technology and its role in society. The story is set in a dystopian future in which people's mental states are monitored via a system called the Psycho-Pass, and those deemed dangerous are pursued by enforcers.

The animation is as sharp and stylish as the first season, with the same haunting soundtrack and colour palette that perfectly capture the series' mood.

The characters are well-developed, with easily understood and supported motivations. The new cast members add depth to the story by bringing new perspectives to the world of ...

Mixed Feelings

Where is my Kougami? Waited too long for the anime to release and then there is no Kougami - disappointed. The anime plot turned out good - if you start this season with no background of first season (I know it sounds highly unlikely and makes no sense but) then you could probably find it interesting and good.

Tsunemori now has a new set of enforcers and she tries to find out the secrets of Sibyl while solving few cases. There wasnt anything new, not for me at the least. The continuity of characters were missing and it felt like a new series to ...

Waited for Kougami the entire time watching hoping he’d eventually show up, and was severely disappointed in the end. The series foreshadowed him multiple times, even stating he was out on the run somewhere, but there was no search for him or anything. Usually, I can forgive plot twists like these in other series but Kougami really made the first season for me, and I wanted to see him again because he was so important. His relationship with Akane and his struggle with Makishima is what made season 1 as good as it was.

The new characters felt bland, and their incorporation in the story felt ... rushed somewhat. Sho was basically just there for his work on holos, his background barely mentioned besides his pills. I was really interested in him, but he was just so lackluster with little development. Tougane, as first, annoyed me a little bit because he felt like a Kougami replacement. Especially in the scene where he fights with the dummy and then has a smoke afterwards, talking with Akane. Really had me thinking the show completely dropped Kougami and replaced him with Tougane. However, Tougane began to change a lot and show his true colors to us. I was so interested in seeing how he’d turn out, but he literally just turned out as a dude with mommy issues.

The worst new character to get involved was Shimotsuki. People say that if a show can introduce a character you feel strongly towards, whether you hate or love them, it’s a good show, but in this case, Shimotsuki was just poorly done. She is just awful to watch; being the worst inspector we’ve seen so far. I don’t think Ginoza was a great inspector (even though I love him), because he was always pretty incompetent, but at least he was FUN to watch. Whenever he was paranoid about his psycho-pass or wary around the enforcers, you could always tell there was a reason why he was; it being explained later on is season 1. Shimotsuki is just an ahole.

This brings me to another point. Ginoza was made an enforcer, and I thought that was one of the only good things seasons 2 did. Until he got barely any lines, and all his development at the end of season 1 was just forgotten. He was one of my favorite characters, I loved the complexity of his relationship with his father from season 1 and how interesting the differences between him and Akane were. I’m upset at how little lines and screen time Ginoza got, especially since he is one of the only remaining members of the season 1 cast.

There was another character remaining in division 1 who was there in season 1 besides Akane and Ginoza, and that was Yayoi. She’s so irrelevant, but she definitely had potential to be something more. We got a good episode about her previously, explaining her past and motives to join MWPSB as an enforcer, but she was barely in season 2. I wish her relationship with Shion was explored more, because we’re given a few scenes with them together in bed, but nothing more. It would’ve been better had it been developed.

Now, on to the main antagonist, Kamui. He’s really just a sad attempt at recreating the amazing villain that Makishima was. The show tried to make us care about him, but it was so hard to care about the plane crash events or anything that had happened in their society 12 or so years ago. Kamui also had such little personality and besides his violence, was extremely uninteresting. Makishima had more going for him than just being violent, as he was very intelligent, had interesting motives for his crimes, etc.

I really wanted to like this season, but it was so disappointing. I really love psycho-pass, but this sequel was just not it.
