Some information on why this season had problems (ANN interview)

How much freedom did you feel you were given with the Psycho-Pass universe by I.G. or Gen Urobuchi for Psycho-Pass 2?

Well, the work itself is a world without freedom, anyway. (laughs) I was offered the idea of just barely expanding the world, therefore being able to just barely create a sequel. I had both the scenario for the TV series and the film, so it was all about filling in the blanks.

But there really wasn't much time at all, so I was even rewriting scripts during voice recording sessions. It was kind of a crazy way of making scripts. If I say that the experience I had was fun, I think the staff would say something along the lines of, “Don't mess with us! Why were you having fun!?” I think the feeling of strain in the process was conveyed in the work. I didn't have any leeway. There were lots of scenes where the characters played around in the first season, but we couldn't put that kind of thing in the second season. That was a little bit disappointing.

Yes, I knew the contents of the film. I had to work in a way that wouldn't contradict its contents. I'm happy that Shimotsuki fit well into the movie. If she had gotten along well with Akane in Psycho-Pass 2, it wouldn't connect to the film. That was my biggest relief.
