| Awful OP, great ED. That aside, the pace on this episode was a bit slow in comparison to the last one. Still, it was very interesting. Nice to see everyone interacting at the office. |
| I think I'm going to like this anime, really interesting ideas! |
     |
| The beginning of the episode showed how futuristic the world has become. Basically any information you want and anything you wish do see/do can be done by voice and small gadgets. The trade-off is that this information is taken as fact – the psycho-pass letting the government know if you are likely to become a criminal as well as what one should do to obtain happiness. Tsunemori is already feeling confused on what she should do or what her purpose is. That talk with Kagari was blunt and got these feelings out right away. He’s another “cool character” who will be fun to watch. It seems the only people who will actually think about whether or not psycho-pass is actually helping or hurting others are those in the public safety bureau. Kougami said that he’s been believing that he is helping just for the sake of it. This would make his job easier since he’s got unfinished business but he and Tsunemori are alike in that they do think about it to some extent. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Hmm slowly I'm tolerating Akane, but I still hate her. I still want to know more of that unfinished business Shinya was talking about, he probably referred to what happened in the beginning of episode 1... I also noticed that Shinya looks like a mix of Hibari [KHR] and...Ichigo [Bleach]? Curiosity drives me to watch the next episode. |
| I don't like AKane's personality so far, but she's so cute. |

| Wow, I want to be able to change my room like that! I could do without the annoying creature waking me up though. I think it's a good thing for Akane to break out of what she 'should' do based on scores. This way she'll get into something she might not have otherwise and break out of her comfort zone, learn a lot about who she is. It reminds me of Gwen from Torchwood. Uwooh, did Karanomori sleep with that worker~ Akane is very serious on the job, that or things just fly over her head. What the hell, you can be flagged and branded a latent criminal as a child, and be locked up forever or controlled 'just in case'? How horrible. :/ I hope Akane can change things for the better. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| I like how they're making some episodes all action and some are plot based and hint things to us. When Akane met up with her girl friends a certain quote stuck out to me "That which needs to be done is carried out by those capable. Such is the grace bestowed upon mankind by Sibyl." who said this quote and who are they? Who originally created Sibyl? And also when Kagari was talking to Akane about how she could get into any job and he said something like Sibyl “tells you the way of living that will bring you the most happiness”. I can understand why he's angry. Shion's introduction was amusing! I also wonder if Sibyl discriminates idk and is there like a formula or equation for how Sibyl determines everything? At the end I knew Akane would stick by what she did - I personally think she did the right thing to paralyse the victim and Shinya - it was her first time after all. |
 |
| 4/5 Episode more than good, I wanted a middle of the action in the name, but also so good! |
 |
| quite a lot of people here that hate Akane, eh? I think she's good, i like her personality. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| amazing episode :D ohh Akane is soo gorgeous ^^ such a nice skin! wow so a virtual room, virtual service as well as virtual clothes can be possible in the near future?!?! and that Jellyfish! such a helpful guy!! imagine the time you could save as well as being able to choose whatever clothes you want without worry about shopping or size. i assume it automatically fits your size and what not. and i freaking knew that Shion sexy girl would be voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro even before she even opens her mouth. it really fits her XD and i really love how you can change your outfit on the fly!! you could be a police officer with the right uniform in just a second!! that kagari guy can be a pain in the ass. what's it matter to you if Akane decides to join the security bureau despite being top of her class and what not?? it seems Kougami has been through alot, it's obvious he wants some kind of revenge from the first guy in the first episode. really enjoyed the episode, despite being slowed compared to the first one, we definitely got to learn more about the characters despite being introduce as just killers in the last episode. lol i don't know what's up with the hate with Akane. it's her first day of the Job with NO experience watsoever so i don't know what you expect her to be like? she seems confident now that she confronted Kougami and thinks she did the right thing in her own judgement. no one but youself will know if you did the right thing. i can't wait for the next episode! i expect alot of new technology being introduce and all ^^ |
| Great episode, but I still don't really like it. I still wont complain much just after 2 episodes, after all I plan on finishing this ^_^. |
 |
| It was a pretty good episode. Akane will bring humanity in the squad. Without a master, they are like savage dog hunting their pray. |

| I think I'm going to like Shion Karanomori, she's the analysis lady. She's pretty cool. I very much enjoyed how Akane's room changes and her clothes too but I guess it's pretty normal for a society as advanced as this one. Why was Kagari getting all mad at Akane for and demanding her to tell him why she really joined the bureau? Didn't she just explain to him she was trying to figure out her life and why she was born and such? Hmm I wonder if there will be some kind of relationship between Kougami and Akane some where in this story. |
| I think I'm gonna love this show. I'm enjoying the OP and ED. I hope there's an action in the next episode. |
 |
| 1. The OP/ED songs really matches the dark vibe of the series 2. The way akane got dressed so fast was very futuristic 6/10 |
| Pretty good series so far, i don't get why people don't like Akane, both she and Kougami are pretty cool characters. |
| Akane's design bothers me more than anything else about her. I don't like it. I don't mind her personality though, and that's the main thing. As long as she doesn't turn out to be one of those stupidly optimistic, unrealistic characters then it'll be okay. I like Kougami. It was cool that what happened last episode made him change his outlook on things. And I like the sexy doctor, heh. I didn't really register this apparent fanservice that everyone's going on about. If I didn't even notice it then it can't have been that bad. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| Actually im happy I started this anime over some other i had in mind!! |
 |
| Holy shit only 2 episodes in and I already can't stand Akane. I hate whiny indecisive characters, she's like a female Yuki from Mirai Nikki. Nothing else in the show has impressed me thus far either. Could someone please explain those hologram watch things. Are they just making holographic clothes or are they physically materializing them? I can't see how it could be either of them since a) a watch materializing physical objects is impossible but b) we've seen the clothes be physically touched so they can't just be holograms. |

The fact you compared Akane to Yuki makes part of your comment null and void Try harder next time kid |
TheGrandSage23 said: The fact you compared Akane to Yuki makes part of your comment null and void Try harder next time kid You mad brah? Upto episode 5 now and Akane has still done literally nothing. At this point Yuki is a much better protagonist compared to her.....and I thought I'd never be able to say someone is worse than him..... |
| the emotional part with kougami in this ep felt weird idk maybe they wanted to make it fast paced so that the audience could get to know the characters faster but to me it was just awkward like, I don't even know him and already they're trying to make me sympathize with him ??? the flashbacks about his life were cool though, it's just that that whole scene was pretty awkward |
 |
| The worst part about this show is Akane, truly terrible character. The best part about this show is the setting, it's fucking marvelous. I hope to God Akane gets better because she's completely unlikeable currently. |
| Looks like Akane's habit of speaking too much kicked in and pissed off one of the enforcers. Is it just me or is the middle aged enforcer arrogant as hell? Akane got to stop fretting about whether or not what she did was wrong because she did the right fucking thing. It was great how she actually found her resolve thanks to the help of Hibari. |
| Not quite as good as the first episode but still a very good episode! |
| Nice episode. The OP and ED fit the general atmosphere very well. I want to live there!!! |
 |
| Dat OP. It's so awesome. And also the ED. Kougami's shedding some light in Akane's reason to shoot while there are lesbians somewhere nearby doing their thing. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| I love the ED song!!!!!!! |
 |
| Liking the OP and ED song. I'm glad to see that she came to the conclusion that she did nothing wrong. I thought it was pretty obvious since the girls threat level was lowered. I do hope Akane grows out of indecisiveness. That shit will not fly with the job she chose. |
 |
| this episode was not that good tbh.. just now started watching it.. 1st episode was good but this was not. |
| So the world of Psycho-Pass is essentially a dystopia disguised as a utopia. In the debut episode, a previously upstanding individual became criminalized due to a self-fulfilling prophecy and was swiftly terminated while a hostage was about to be terminated as well due to the immense stress of the situation she was forced into. In this episode, a man was captured and forced into "emergency therapy" (and we still don't really know what that exactly means) for what essentially translates into being stressed out. But it doesn't end there. The civil system attempts to read peoples' states of mind and institutionalize them before they even have a chance to prove themselves. All individuals are guilty until proven innocent... and remain under house arrest even after. This isn't a foreign theme, but it's a theme so commonly explored through an anti-establishment group of rebels attempting to overthrow the tyrannical, repressive society. Psycho-Pass shows us this repressive civil system through the perspective of the officers upholding it. Oh yeah, I'm going to love this show. |

| Not so much action in this one, and that's why I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Very interesting ^____^ |
 |
| Yeah, I thought from the first episode that all of them would be super fast paced but still, this episode even without as much action seemed to fly by. It was interesting to see the girls friends and every day life stuff. Also that clothes changer compact thing was cool and being able to change what your apartment looks like. |
 |
| Dat blonde doe :3 |
 |
| That was a good episode. There wasn't a lot of action, but there was more information on the psycho-pass stuff. Basically if you think like a criminal, you're going to have a higher coefficient even if you won't commit any crimes. The holograms were cool. I guess that means everyone is constantly naked because the clothes are holographic too. |
 |
| I just finished the 2nd episode and I decided to just drop this anime. I couldn't get past the first minutes of the 3rd episode. The protagonist is just as useless as Orihime (Bleach) and that's saying a lot. Maybe my decision is probably biased because I totally dislike bishonen characters and weak main characters. I peeked some of the last episodes and the villain looks so generic. His appereance is that of a pretty boy, of course, how could he not be when the other male characters are all girlish looking. Ah, white long hair, pretty face, so much shit. I also have to mention that pink jellyfish domestic virtual pet or whatever the main girl has at her house. Pretty damn annoying. Well, I guess that's the cuteness BS that japanese otakus like. I'm wondering how the main character had such a high qualification to almost every job available in that world when she has such a weak determination and so much insecurities. Those tests must be wrong. The music is so so. Animation is good. Characters are generic. Everybody using the same uniform but with details that differentiate them and express traces of their personalities. So cliché. Just like those animes with high school themes where they all wear a "different uniform"; one girl with withe socks, the other with black socks, short shocks, ko gal socks. Beats the purpose of an uniform. Story: Couldn't watch much but looked like a weak plot. I'm wondering why this anime has such a high rating. Résumé: Too generic. |
 |
| Lmfao @ people hating on Akane just because she's not some Mary Sue. xD This was a good second episode. Did not expect that reaction from Kogame. |
 |
| People already complain that Akane is useless, even though she saved someone's life in episode 1. I guess if you're not cold-blooded and badass, you're automatically useless. |
 |
| Glad to see the victim doing better in this episode. I've no comments on Akane as of yet, its too early judge. |
