sorashika said: Yes, it's bad he killed many people along the way... It's bad and wrong that the MWPSB also killed many people but no one give a sh*t about this fact and just forgives them. Hypocrites. And, where is it shown that Makishima killed many people? Where is the proof? How do we know? We know for sure that he manipulates others into killing. And about the destruction of the system - was there another option? I can't think of any. That's why this violence and stirring up the sociaty is the best method. Do people believe there's no need of sacrifices sometimes? How people, throughout the ages, gained their freedom? With talking? |
| A very proper ending to this current story which I really liked, the brutality to the beautiful artwork combined in a science fiction setting really made this anime worth watching! The great resolve in the ending of finally catching/killing the bad guy and move on was really good and well it does give the opportunity to always proceed with a second season as the part of detective/case solving could always be re-used! Plenty of good characters have died and what I experienced was rather interesting as I really started liking the characters who then were cut! Especially the ending was pretty touching with the old man actually being his dad. The ending really made it very touching to see that in the end everything just repeats! Either way really loved the series and if there would ever be a sequel or a movie kind of thing I'd sure watch it! 9/10 |

MAKISHIMA HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG. Well, what else can you tell guys? They got 'Uro-butchered' so bad & we were like 'WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!'. So many WTF moments throughout the episode. IF they going to make a season 2 to see what happened during ep12 I'll be please about this like what happened to Rina & other resistance during that! God, I really hate loose ends! I mean so many bullshit things that gets me started till it didn't mentioned just blows my mind! stickymochi said: -Riri- said: This. Seriously? THIS for what? So many one word trend on MAL, what is goin on? Does he had a same thing? |

| Wow, this series has been perfect. Definitely one of my favourites and I enjoyed every episode. If they bring DVDs out over here, definitely buying on release. |
 |
| 9/10 here! It was awesome, good characters, good story, animation was great too! I hope there's some chance for a second season, hopefully with all survivors from season 1! |
 |
| 10/10 Wow. just wow. A really good show. Ok there was a few problem with the animation, I also think that there should be a few more episodes. I would like to see some stuff about the origins of the system or past of characters. Maybe there will be some extra episodes on DVD/BD. I don't think I need second season. In the end I almost felt sorry for Makishima. OK he was a criminal, murderer, but at the same time, victim of the system. |
 |
| LOVED it! Even got my other half watching it and it's very rare he watches anime these days. Loved the open ending for a new series (NEED) and the way it ended as it began. 10/10. More like this please! |
 |
| Now if only we got to see more of everyone's backstory. We got a peek at Yayoi and I felt that Kagari should have got a little more too. :'T This was a great anime and it'll be one of my favorites forever, but it did exactly what Angel Beats did - we didn't get backstory for the characters I wanted to know more about. The anime wanted so much for me to like Kogami and I /did/ but I wanted more about everyone else! :C |

| Aaaaand we come to a full circle. Great series, gave me a GitS vibe. 7/10. |
 |
| It's bugging me. Who's that brain they keep focussing at the end? Is that Makisima's? Well, Ko is alive so it couldn't be his, right? |
| 9/10 . Love this series :D a very satisfying ending..like the new kanshikan ..quite cute and looks intelligent. ><!!!!!!!!!!!! just hope season 2 come true! |

| i really enjoyed this series and i would love to see a season 2 but i have my doubts that they will make a second season for it. |
 |
| Akane tried her best, but Kogami and Makashima are destined to end it with only one alive very nice story, maybe the best show for me in the past one year, Sibyl is really an interesting idea like u hate it but still need it now will they give us season 2 with Kogami as the new Makashima and Akane has to end it herself... |
| I'd love to see a season 2 to this show. I got a little frustrated because I was hoping someone would put a stop to the sibyl system. Still a great ending though. |
| I think Kougami is going to be back with help. Since he was crossing the border, this is likely to happen. |
| Please send me a message/profile comment since I will most likely not check my forum posts. Thank you. |
| took me months but I fininally finished this mess of a show.I guess I kinda liked the villain but the show was bad...makes me kinda sad cuz I had high hopes for it oh well |
 |
| Awesome show! Hope a second season is made for it :D 9/10. |
 |
| I really liked this ending! First, I’m glad that Kougami killed Makishima. If they played it off with him just getting arrested, it would have thrown out the 3 years of investigating and revenge for his enforcer. Akane was also never planning on killing Makishima just like she said but he realized this when the gun wasn’t loaded. I think that’s why he let her live – he felt that she understood to some extent as well. Ginoza has now fallen into the same path as his father. He returns to work as an enforcer under Akane. This will probably lead him to gain the skills that he never had – that instinct that was mentioned several times. The end sequence is just like when Akane started and this was a nice device to use since it shows how much she has grown. We see the glimpse of Kougami, perhaps on a boat, and know he’s still alive. |

| Good episode and anime, damn too bad it ended hope there'll be a second season ~_~ I was so satisfied when the gunshot was heard. Damn that felt good. Also the whole Akane - Sybil discussion I was like "snap snap snap snap snap" but she didn't >_> would really like to see Akane full rage mode on the sibyl system. The end was just like what happened with Akane at the beginning of the anime which leads me to believe that it's some sort of initiation ceremony for new inspectors. It only shows how brutal the sibyl system is, making a "normal" person go through such a thing. I think they release a latent criminal into that district and just see what happens. In Akane's case a woman got raped and almost killed. who know what happened with the new inspector.... |

captainwalrus said: katsucats said: The point is that if the values of a society changes enough, then the law must change with society -- not the other way around. If society changes to the point where people stop caring about other peoples' "crime coefficients" and "hues," then Sybil's judgments will stop mattering, and the burden will be on Sybil to change with society, not the other way around. If you want a real world example: sodomy laws were on the books for some states in the US up until 2003. Nobody had been prosecuted for anal sex for decades, but the laws were just forgotten. A dude in Texas ended up being prosecuted under a sodomy law, and the Supreme Court ended up ruling that sodomy laws were unconstitutional. No violent revolution took place. The End. If "hues" and "crime coefficients" stop mattering, then Sybil will have become irrelevant, and I doubt society will somehow be plunged into chaos by the revelation of the nature of an irrelevant entity. It'd be a curio worthy of an academic paper, but nothing more. Appreciate the thoughts by both walrus and katsu, and I found this to be very thought provoking. My example would be the right to hold firearms in the US which has proved to very controversial but a reinforcement of the fact that society's values and laws are very much alike. Is it strange that the further I got in Psycho-Pass, the more I liked Akane but the less I liked Kogami... Maybe cuz of the fact that his character felt the most tragic now that he's accomplished revenge for Sasayama and no longer has a place in the Sibil System either. Deep stuff, definitely not what I was expecting from a supposed crime/thriller anime. Reminds me why anime can be such a rewarding yet still challenging medium. |
 |
| Brilliant series. The crimes were solved quite linearly so that the show could focus more on the philosophy behind transhumanism and utilitarian/dystopian societies, and how they interact. This is a great genre and I would love to see more. |
| I wonder about the old woman who appeared after Makisima killed the chief .... Who is she ? they didnt say anything about her |
  |
| Even though Makishima did some horrible things, I actually did not want to see him die. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wanted to see Makishima plans go through. I found myself rooting for him. Even though I loved Shinya a bunch I think it would have better if he would have died at Makishima hands and in turn make Akane break her ''detective'' code and kill him. Though it makes sense that they went with this ending, it leaves space for a 2nd season if they ever feel like breathing life into this awesome anime again. Overall I loved it, their timing with the music was flawless had me choking up left and right. |

| good series 9/10 overall |
| Hm shot in the back of his head, that's a real cheap shot, Kougami! I kinda wanted Makishima to live because. . . . I liked him. Makishimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  All my tears and misery. . . . on a side note Gino looks good without glasses. . . . -sigh- Akane is really original huh? -_- I hate her. Her incompetence resulted in so many losses. |
| There's so much to say, but I feel like the part that was the most meaningful was when Kogami killed Makishima. Makishima resented the Sibyl system for creating a world where everyone was a cog in the machine and could be replaced based on statistics and calculations. But at the very end of his life, he finally found someone - Kogami - who considered him an irreplaceable part of his life. Makishima: "Say, what do you think, Kogami? After this, will you be able to find a replacement for me?" Kogami: "I sure hope not." Once Kogami said that, Makishima appeared as though he was finally at peace. That for the first time in his life, he finally found someone who didn't look at him as a just an exception to the system, but as a human being. With that said, other things I really like are Gino becoming an enforcer and following in his father's footsteps. I also noticed that the new inspector is girl from the all girls boarding school. My guess is she decided to become an inspector to honor her friend's death. This is a brilliant series and I'm glad that a season 2 is in the works. I don't like to hand out 10s so easily but I think this may be my next one. |
 |
| Well, the Makishima vs Kougami Fight was pretty awesome. The ending was really good, and we are going to have a second season. 9/10 Overall, still thinking to rate it 10 tho, the Soundtrack/Opening/Endings are just brilliant. |

| Overall it was a great anime and I'm giving it a 9/10 loved the characters, the plot and the twists.. my only negative is the last arc of the show (from Makishima escape to episode 22).. It was anticlimatic and dull compared to the other 15 episodes or so. The rest of the show was thrilling, with great creepy moments and some good dialogue (philosophy was a good addition). I'm glad to know there will be a second season I just hope Uro doesn't fuck it up.. Take down Sybil! And that last Yuri scene at the end was.. awesome. |
 |
| The chain of justice system never ends. So true. We get a cycle. It ended like how it started with exactly the same roles. Kogami the next Makishima? The way the system let him go, I assume he is not dead, it might be on purpose so he can be added to the system. Great series. EDIT: Also, I wont be surprised if this cycle is what makes the criminals who you can't read their psycho pass then the system just adds them. Reminds me of Madoka Magica. lol. I also liked the antagonists. I like Makishima. I hate him but in a way that I also like his character. The Sybil System, I don't care. I want it dead but that's why I like it so much. |

| now i can be happy for the news of season 2. dat Ouryou girl and perhaps ratio of girls in the Division is now higher? XDD im kinda sad that the badass bgm with the breath and guitar didnt make its appearance in the climax episodes..... |
| That ending felt kinda like death note, The setting, time, even the people. |
 |
| I liked the ending, even though it wasn't really satisfying... |
| most realistic ending yet, absolutely loved it, its not your typical happy ending can't wait for more! |
| The irony at the end was funny. Really good background and setting for this series. I still don't understand how some people cannot be judged, but oh well. All in all 8/10. |
