| I didnt really know i will ever agree with Makishima and say ''HES RIGHT!'', but damn, he has so many good points there.People are blind, they are like some kind of SS puppets that are just walking and ''living'' everyday.Who the hell would want to be manipulated by some machines that decide if you should or not to live.He is definitely too brutal, but i think im starting to understand his way of doing things.Of course im not saying that hes right in every way.You cannot kill innocent people just to achieve a goal even if it's ''needed'', even if there's no other way.But then comes question, how to make world different without sacrifices.I really want to see what will they do in the end. 5/5 |

iLostReason said: You cannot kill innocent people just to achieve a goal even if it's ''needed'' No one is innocent. In heart or in mind. |
| Like everyone else: Amazing episode. The best episode of this show so far, by a long shot. If the show can maintain this level of momentum to the end, that could really push this show to the top. |
 |
Second walkthrough in this episode I noticed this  I smell enforcers being killed by Dominators around the corner |
| Another great episode. Liked the new OP and ED. That was really clever... Creating a way to copy the psycho-pass of a nearby individual. I think anything can be used to do it too. In this case Makishima made them used helmets, like masks. I wonder what did he used when Akane confronted him? We now know that he was using her friend's psycho-pass at that moment. Sent with Mal Updater |
Marhuto said: I wonder what did he used when Akane confronted him? Nothing. He's one of those rare cases where the CC is low. He's criminally asymtomatic. Ginoza had to lie to them. Marhuto said: We now know that he was using her friend's psycho-pass at that moment. Nope. |
bakuramariks said: iLostReason said: You cannot kill innocent people just to achieve a goal even if it's ''needed'' No one is innocent. In heart or in mind. Well, techically yes.I guess i should've say ''less innocent'' people then?.I meant the people who don't really do anything bad to others, or at least try to be ''normal''.Im sure you know what i mean, even if i can't really explain it with my words. |
|
| I understand you, but even on emotional level people do others harm. |
| CAUSE I FEEL! Love the new OP animation. Also that song from the first PV played finally it sounded great! I remember Kogami fights a guy with that mask on in the first episode. |
[center] |
| Awesome episode! Great on every level, except the shitty OP song... Anyway, I'm starting to like this anime more and more. Also, a thought about the helmets: if Makishima keeps helmet-wearing goons around him, they will all be untargetable by Dominators, because they will all inherit his ultra-low CC. |
 |
Vanisher said: All those people seeing that woman being killed... just like that... seemed exaggerated to me, Masaoka said he lived before the sybil system so it's no THAT old, and some people in the scene looked old. Yes but keep in mind that Masaoka has a high Crime Coefficient BECAUSE he didn't really accept the Sybil System in the first place. It's safe to assume that other old people got assimilated in the new society, via stress treatments/brainwashing or maybe they were "sheep" anyway. |
|
| ZOMGWTF!!! Has the Sibyl System kept these citizens so sheltered that they have no idea what rape and murder look like when it's done right in their faces? That was quite disturbing to watch! And the victim didn't even try to fight for her life. Are they so bad off now that the natural instinct of fight or flight has left their minds as well? 'Tis a pity... Also, the helmet scans for the lowest CC within a certain proximity, right? If Kougami's is 282, then does that mean that Masaoka's is even higher? I shudder to think... |
 |
| Wow, the atmosphere of this episode is so intense and dark. It felt like Christopher Nolan, especially the music used in this ep. |
 |
| Simply put, that was awesome. Especially the scissors and pen killings... |
| Really strong episode, adds even more layers to the problems with Sibyl and we're building up to an absolutely fantastic climax. Everything is going to come to a head and there's going to be so many downfalls. Can't wait. |
| wow, that woman getting beat to death was disturbing as fuck. especially since all the bystanders did absolutely nothing but watch. just goes to show how much control the sibyl system has over everything. if the guy is killing someone right in front of them, but his psycho pass is stable, then he's obviously not doing anything wrong... :/ makishima was also a beast at the end |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| That was good. Wow, so many gruesome death, not like simply being shot. Really cool episode, I wonder what Makoshima will do with those. He only gave it to random people, but what will happen if given to really dangerous people/organizations. 5/5. |
 |
| sheeple ftl. o nothng to see here just some broad getting bludgeoned to death fantastic ep |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| This is one of the main reasons why I love Psycho-Pass, each case delivers a new fresh idea on exploring the flaw of the Sibyl System. Showing the murder in front of the crowd to create awareness is just a tip of the iceberg for Makishima. He definitely has a bigger plan for it. Funny moments between Kogami and Akane On the side note, isn't Psycho-Pass OST supposed to be released today? |

| I never knew scissors and pens could be so dangerous. It scared me how no one went to help the women when she was getting attacked. I hope the quality of the show remains until the end. |
| The worst part of this episode has to be the drone asking the victim to do something about her rising stress. Whoever designed the system has to be really incompetent, and yet it passed through all levels of government and got implemented. And of course, the everyday people accepted it as they were told. Reminds me of my recent local news about a girl who killed herself in a jail cell as the guards watched. She had a habit of self harm. Every time guards intervene, paperwork that reflects negatively on the correction center has to be generated. So the top admin gave the order to not intervene unless she stops breathing. And people, of course, follow orders well when the core responsibility doesn't appear to be on their shoulders. |
| Fantastic episode. This shows how society has turned into zombies. I was pissed at how people openly witnessed someone getting assaulted yet did nothing because Sybil said it was fine. I am starting to think Makishima is the real hero. |
| wow. this show is getting better and better. i was so stunned when no one was helping that woman. i love that they slowly discover that this system isn't perfect. btw, i hope there will be more scenes where makishima is fighting. he has some awesome moves. |
| Beastly episode as always. The beginning is a bit disturbing though, really annoyed by the fact that the bystanders do nothing but watch, its a shame such thing happens in real world too. Makishima kicking those thugs asses was awesome and the fatality too. They underestimate his power. |
| OP is breathtaking. It may imply that most people will root for Makishima in the end except for Kougami. |

| Oh shit, crazy episode. I can't believe the crowd just watched the girl get beat like that. I'm really loving this show, well I guess I pretty much love everything that Urobochi does, he's a genius. The scene at the end of the episode with Shougo was awesome. I didn't think he could kick ass like that. 5/5 |
 |
| Really dark and brutal direction with this episode. Scissors in the mouth, the bat, "shudders" Makishima is trying to cause widespread panic or revolt (a revolution perhaps) against the sibyl system. The citizen bystanders is an example of the indoctrination of the sibly system. People do not know how to react to an unheard of murder in broad daylight without the scanners picking it up so they watch on passively. Best episode yet! |

| Another amazing episode as always. The OP and ED looks a lot better with the new animation. :) So those helmets mimic the nearest person's psycho-pass. It was crazy to see that guy beat up that woman in the street. That guy's room was so creepy. Pictures of that woman everywhere. It was awesome to see Kougami acting badass intellectually. Holy fuck at Makishima. Beating up those thugs so easily and then stabbing the baseball bat down that guy's throat. He's such a great antagonist. 5/5 |

| Fascinating episode of Psycho-Pass this week. 2 things: 1. They need to stop referencing novels in every episode. Last week was Heart of Darkness, if I remember correctly. But hey, at least they stopped with the quoting! 2. Not a single onlooker was willing to do anything? Really? I get the point Urobuchi is making here, but come on... Other than that, much better than the previous two episodes. |
shinezu said: Hybridbloodszak said: His contact sounded like Choe Guseong imo. Seems like he is Makashima's second in command or something.Wow the deaths this week were brutal even more so than the mid season finale with Shogo Makishima. Another piece of the puzzle is thrown out there with the mysterious person Shogo is in contact with and the stuff he stole. Yup, it's Choe Guseong. His voice was credited in the ending. |
| Missing the the Ling Tosite Sigure intro, great song. Episode was great, by the time this is over I expect to see it up on the top anime list, it is my favorite right now. |

| What do you do when a woman gets her clothes torn off and gets beaten to death? Take pictures and put it on Instagram! |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Wow, things are really accelerating now. Looks like Makishima is doing "good" for society even if his means to do it are brutal. |

| This might be the anime of the year for me right here. Really pleased with it so far, sadly I caught up to the show and is sadly going to share the agony of waiting a week for one episode. Just 8 episodes left? Damn. |
 |
| New OP and ED animations! Still don't like them though... So far the anime is shaping up to be superb. |

RIP MWPSB. |

| Would start packing some old fashioned heat if I was in Shinya's and Masaoka's place. The Dominators seem as reliable and consistent as a slots machine. |

| Makishima is absolutely right. Evil ways to wake up society from its slumber, as drastic and cruel as needed to open peoples eyes. Indoctrination at its finest. Not very different from our society in a way, people indoctrinated by mass media and eating propaganda like crazy. Sybil system is like the wet dream of corporations, governments, people in power in general. We are en-route to that kind of society. |

| This is definitely the best episode so far, I loved how they didn't censor stuff like pussies but instead do close-ups and what not. Human psychology at its best! And the way Shougo killed that guy was just badass. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Wooow, just wow. I need to sit back and relax a bit after watching this. Sweet OP, nice ED, thanks mr. producer for listening to the fans. That stationery guy really hated that poor woman for some reason. I assume while being a hikikomori he projected his anger/frustration/etc at her pictures and Makishima and his party did a good deed and set him loose with a cover so he could hunt his prey. Does Makishima have like a list with all the dissidents/crazy/mentally unstable people? That would make a great army. Kogami's so far the one who still 'functions' correctly, his hunch was spot on and he seemed used to this kind of situation. Ginoza was b-sn them all, Masaoka reacted kinda weird talking about the old days, heh I guess he misses them old fashioned guns? and the other Enforcers were just waiting orders while doubt creeps in when it comes to Dominators. bakuramariks said: Isn't this foreshadowing? o.O ;_;. So what's next, Makishima hijacking a news broadcast in some high-density area and showing recordings of people being brutally killed and making some kind of political statement? Will that work on the sheep or they'll just stare and think it's a prank? Too easy. And he still has some aces up his sleeve. Uuuh. Not sure if I wanna watch the next episode. Those people's instincts have been numbed, pretty much what happens in today's society. It's Sybil system for them, mass media for us. Gah. |
