For me, no. Maybe it's because Makishima and Kougami are not included. Something is missing here, maybe that certain atmosphere.

Judging from the first episode alone, it feels different, not better, just different, got to watch more to confirm.

personally i felt that makishima and kougami's rivalry/personality clash that consumed the second half of the first season hurt the series overall

but idk lolz

No because of the annoying Mika :(

Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!”

Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.”

I think most people don't realize she was in S1 and had her best friend butchered. They just assume she's some brat when she actually has a reason to act the way she is now.

I think it's definitely too early to say so far but I definitely think it has the potential to be so. Season one gave us a lot of reveals that turned the tables time and time again, but now that we have those out of the way perhaps we have an opportunity for plot movement on a more epic scale? The end of Season 1 pretty much screamed at us that Akane is bent on taking down Sibyl if only there was a better option. Maybe this new villain will present it? On top of that Kogami's on the loose, whom Akane's desperate to protect and her new recruit's hell bent on killing anything Sibyl System will let her so we're probably going to get some fascinating conflicts there. Besides which we only got to see Akane be truly BA for the last two episodes of season 1, and now we get a whole season of it. On top of all that Akane's the human counterpart of the Sibyl system she so despises. I don't know about you guys, but if the writer and director show even an inkling of the skill they showed in season 1 I think season 2 is promising to be just as much an intellectual intrigue as it's predecessor was. We can already see a plenty of drama, moral and philosophical conflicts evolving from the get go that will make for a fascinating show.

Yeah I'm guessing she had to instill in herself the kind of attitude that makes her so confrontational towards anything high PP related. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep her hue clear after the Rikako Oryou case. Doesn't mean she's not annoying, but it at least gives her depth that's relevant to the story/setting.

OT: No and I don't know that it will be, but we'll see. Things'll start getting good when Saiga-sensei makes his appearance.

It's too early to tell, it certainly could be though if they don't screw it up. I don't think S1 is an unbeatable masterpiece and I'm actually glad that Urobuchi isn't writing this season despite usually liking his work. I like the setting a lot and I'm hoping I'll enjoy another writer's take on Psycho Pass more than I did with S1.

why not? they were both boring caricatures; the real star of season one was akane, and season two is giving us much more of her, for which i'm grateful.

fwiw, based on the op we're gonna be seeing kougami eventually.

Are you out of your mind.........
Akane sucks, she is quite silly most of the time. If not, then why would it take for some Shougo like character on this season for her to finally made a move against the sibyl system. That is if she really does end up making a move against Sibyl the system. If she is so better than other characters, I would expect her to actually do something and not wait for somebody to do it for her.
Last season she was just an annoying, teenager in love trying to help her crush, and it doesn't look like she has changed the teenager in love part so far.

She was extremely conflicted in season 1, her idealistic nature slamming against the brutal reality of the world, the nature of people and the truth of the sibyl system. At the end of Season 1 the Sibyl system itself acknowledged this fact flat out and stepped in personally to resolve most of the dilemmas that were holding her back. As for taking down the Sibyl system itself the whole climax of Season 1 was about the mass mayham and anarchy that would ensue should Sibyl by suddenly removed. After a few generations growing up under the Sibyl system they're simply dependent on it. What makes Akane BA (in my own opinion) is her intelligence warring with her compassion and empathy as beautifully demonstrated in the first episode of season 2 when she saves the life of the misguided guy they were chasing. Her love for Kogami? He's effectively now the same as her. The only difference is that he's willing to step beyond the law and unable to keep his psycho pass under control like she can.

you know, i originally made this thread as kind of a joke, but i seriously agree and i'm pretty excited that the new season seems to be focusing so much on her. akane's an amazingly written character and i really, really like her.

That's exactly why I think this cannot be better than season 1. I mean it could be as bad as watching code geas without Lelouch and just with Suzaku.

Yay! :D Probably pretty obvious by now, but YES!!! Even though I'm not sure I agree with all her philosophies or not, the pure depth to her character is awesome, as well as the fact that her character is pretty much the embodiment of the biggest social conflict that's existed since the beginning of time: Is there a middle ground between justice and mercy?

"everything is worse" doesn't explain what exactly.. its just a vague and bland argument with nothing to support it.. might as well not comment at all.. if hes talking about the plot, were 2 episodes in.. animation and ost is pretty much the same.. characters is the only thing I could agree with at this point in the second season.
