| Ughhhhh there were so many things I wanted from this movie, but I got almost none of them. Judging purely from the movie itself though, it was amazing and don't think it could have been done much better. 8 or 9/10. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Absolutely loved it. |

| Psycho Pass Movie?? More like Psycho Engrish movie Gotta admit that was pretty good, but it just felt like a big tease Did that kid shoot Kougami at the end or something?? Why the hell did the cigarette drop out of his mouth That ending song to top it all of with :) mhhmmmm |

Why the hell did the cigarette drop out of his mouth I hope it was nothing more than a reference to the ending scene from Requiem for the Phantom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci50p9mSiiU (However, it's visible that the boy shot in another direction from Kougami who had been standing above and behind the girl). |
vlasic said: I'm actually like Shimotsuki better in this one. She actually is more competent and smart deducing that it was a plot by Sibyl. She's still a total asshole but a more competent, confident, arrogant one that actually has some brain when she helped rescue Akane. ^This. I actually Liked Mika in this. |
| So much Engrish. Was good movie. I wish there would be Season 3 or something |
 |
| Nice to see Kougami back. Villain is underwhelming. The Engrish is strong in this one. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Movie was pretty damn fun to watch IG put alot into this from all the visuals...but i knew psycho pass could get gorey but boy. would of liked a little more focus on the augment mercs they were badass *all the deus ex feels* but yeah just gonna forget the 2nd season every happened and be done with the series 8/10 |

| Akane facing the system and reminding them of the piece of shit they are is always a satisfying way to end Psycho-Pass and she delivered as always. On the other hand, SEAun re-electing Han shows how much people are willing to sacrifice just in order to live in peace, even if it means living with their minds and souls chained. Not everyone can be an Akane, and sometimes the easiest way to live is as a slave under a generous master, like a character in other anime put it so eloquently a few weeks ago, and oh my, Sybil truly IS a generous master. The interesting thing about the movie was that you can actually create a "peaceful" and "law-abiding" community like Shambala Float in record time via unmatched military strength and imposing a heavy stratification of society, even if your Sybil System is fake. Just like it always has been. Worst thing about this movie? NO DELICIOUS YAYOI AT ALL, what's wrong with the people in charge, fuck everything. But being serious, I have the feeling that Urobuchi is biting more than he can chew with the overall scope of this story. |

| Too much Enrgish. Mika still a bitch. Sybil system makes me vomit. Everything else good, especially Dat Kougami fight scenes. Dat Kougami and Ginoza bromance. Dat Ginoza ponytail. Also wow, Akane is changing the system from the inside bit by bit like she wanted to. Hope this is not the end of Kougami but it feels like this was meant a be a movie dedicated to his final scenes in the series. Oh Shit just saw past credits, they killed off Kougami? They really shouldn't have done that. I mean we see that he wants to live a peaceful life now and that he won't be a character anymore in future seasons if they will be made, but really? Killing him off by some random kid who's messing about with a gun? Come on, that's being completely disrespectful to him as the second main character of the series. |

There might have been a missed scene were he shot again or some other kid shot. Watch it again, and look at Kougami's face. Look at the eyes and the expression. That's clearly not "just dropping the cigarette", that's a typical anime expression of a character dying. |

Doesn't look like a revelation to me. I wanted it to be that too at first, but it's clearly not. More like "my soul is leaving my body" kind of expression. Listen, I love the guy myself (the reason why I watched this movie in the first place), but this doesn't need to be another Lelouch debate (when people really wanted to believe but even the writer just up and said that "that was that"). To me it looks like 90% that he was shot. 10% of why it might not be the case is because this is put at the very end of the credits which doesn't make much sense, since if they wanted to kill him off they would do it in an epic battle. Maybe the writer wanted to be artistic and give him an anti-climatic death. Maybe that scene was made as teaser for a sequel season/movie. But to me it looks like right now they killed him off lol. |
| Here's a reddit discussion on the cigarette drop scene https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychopass/comments/3f0d8q/major_spoilers_psycho_pass_movie/ |
| I refuse to hide behind the picture of a kawaii 2d girl. |
| So he was shocked by the news? Doubt it, will rewatch the scene again when I get back home. To me that really looked like the face of a dying man. Why would Kougami of all guys, who has seen so much shit, be THAT shocked by the news announcement? Besides his eye pupils also changed color, doesn't happen when you get shocked in anime, but when you pass away. |

No matter what she promises at the end its clear its true nature will never come to light. She thinks shes keeping it in check when shes the one being hoodwinked and aiding and abetting it by not blowing the whistle and allowing the public to make an informed decision based on knowing its true nature. Shame to see her character just fall into this cycle and be so foolish and complacent. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: Well this series was heavily influenced by 1984, and in the end of 1984 Big Brother remains after completely breaking the MC. This show has always had that kind of air to it, so having the sybil system remain and the MC believing that she's doing the right thing kinda fits.Canopus said: Akane facing the system and reminding them of the piece of shit they are is always a satisfying way to end Psycho-Pass and she delivered as always.

| Very good action and strong Engrish. |
 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| I just rewatched it, and the phrase "currently minister Han is pushing the votes" was made slightly after he dropped the cig. Not sure what to think now, I still think 60/40 that he got shot is 60% and the he was shocked is 40%. |

| Psycho-Pass movie was really good, I love it, and Psycho-Pass in general, this movie bring back one of coolest guy in whole series, but Akane, uh she is very good :D |
  |
| Mild disappointment for the fans that were hopeful for a self-redemption of the poorly written Season 2. It was basically the same thing over and over: flaws of Sibyl and how they're going through many trials and errors to improve. They've basically stopped at a wall where they can't think of any more unique ideas. Even Urobuchi couldn't wring a good plot from the ideas already covered in Season 1 and 2. Art and animation was top notch. Kudos to I.G. for that. Soundtracks were average. Only good sountracks were the ones from S1. |

Kerozinn said: i dont think i can watch anythging with psycho pass in it considering how much i disliked season 2 compared to 1. those characters are ruined forever for me. This movie completely blocked out anything to do with the second season so no worries there. It is pretty much an indirect continuation from the first season and answers every fan's biggest question through the 2nd season..."WHERE THE HECK IS KOUGAMI?" It was good, but nothing like the first season, but nonetheless, enjoyable. Thankful it isn't a plot hole-filled overkill gore fest like season two though. 8/10 mostly for Kougami and the bromance scene towards the end. |
| Best anime movie ever made! 11/10 |
 |
| I'm sorry but this movie was a complete travesty. Just because a decent-ish writer is onboard doesn't mean that the anime would automatically be good. Urobuchi wrote some crap too ya know (cough Expelled from Paradise cough Aldnoah first 3eps) |
| I really enjoyed it overall, however it feels like a transition movie into the next. I hope to see another sequel one day. The most underwhelming thing was the main plot and the villain. I was more interested in what Kogami was doing. |
| The movie as a whole was very good. The plotline was good. They should never speak english lol akane and kougami's seiyu's truely suck at english. Butcher takes pleasure in torturing Kougami throughout the movie. I can understand that Kougami is not someone who can lead people and even he knows that. He was trying to do what he can to stop Sibyl from governing other countries. But really Butcher calling him a loser is really disrespectful. He is not a strong individual but that does not make him wrong or submissive. What both Akane and Kougami want is for Sibyl to be judged. Also Gino is trying so hard to get Kougami out of Akane's head lol don't worry Gino you will be cockblocked by him till the very end LOL. 4/5 |
| Not great like the first season but definitly better than the second season. |

| And in the end Sybil was the hero of the day. |
| The movie was pretty average. Whoever directed the movie lost some good possible scenes, like the black guy fighting against the brothers with his robotic arm intact AND the mercenaries fighting against the Enforcers. The mercenary babe died like a fodder character, I wanted her to die to Yayoi in woman on woman action. So much lost opportunity. I understand why this arc was converted into a movie, its pretty shitty. |
 |
| The movie was pretty good. Couldn't stop laughing at the Engrish though. Ginoza with a short ponytail is really cool :D Was waiting for the moment where he punches Kougami. However, I don't really think anything important happened in this movie, just like season 2. We need another movie/season (I prefer the latter) to conclude the whole story. That last line, "One day, this System's true worth will be tested.", totally says that there might be a continuation. I guess it depends on the sales.. Aggron said: xJapaliicious said: The Engrish was strong It was very strong. More than it should have been. |
| I wouldn't say the movie was strong but I still enjoyed it quite a lot. One thing I don't understand is how it works as a sequel to season 2. Anyway, favorite moment: |

| I actually really enjoyed the movie. They took another approach/situation that the Sybil System can do... although it ended akin to season 1... where Akane and Sybil System goes to standstill, Akane has her own logical points, but you can't just exactly remove the Sybil System since it keeps the society moving without violence. On the movie, I really love the fight scenes. Very well done. Kamiya Hiroshi voicing the commander was awesome too, although his character got fodderized too fast and didn't even do any fights at all, which is kind of disappointing. Ling Tosite Sigure's Opening song was awesome too. I like that the foreshadowing of Ginoza punching Kogami happened. I also like how Kougami has an inner-Makishima to be the devil... the opposite of his thoughts similar to how Akane has an inner Kougami. The only thing disappointing thing is that it ended like season 1, where Akane vs the Sybil System ended on the standstill. What I really like about the movie is that it kept its thought provoking story which the Season 1 had. |

Unfortunately, Cambodia was featured in this movie instead, but hey! It's Okay! It's not like SEA countries always show up in anime! Also, the japanese are really trying their best to speak english!! But failed miserably!! im from msia too, hi bro!! ^^ anyway, the movie was quite nice overall but im not sure if my english is bad, the subbers arent good enough or...its juz those "philosophy" things thats juz really hard to understand i had a hard time trying to digest those sentences , god knows how many times i had to pause and rewind to make it look more sense |
This...is what i love to do dun get me wrong, juz cleaning metal rods |
| This was so bad. Two series and a movie and Akane is still as naive as she was at the start. The Sibyl System has shown her time and time again that a) it's not perfect and infallible as it claims b) it will straight up lie to accomplish it's goals and c) it will break Akane's precious laws whenever it feels like it. Yet after all this SHE STILL DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It's beyond infuriating. At this point Akane is basically just as guilty as Sibyl, despite the writers trying to paint her as a conflicted hero. She's just a naive, unchanging dumbass living in a dream world. All the other characters in the movie were completely generic and throwaway (including Kogami) I still also completely hate every single character design in the series as well, everyone's face is just so punchable (especially Akane) and generic. The series is trying sooooo hard to be the next GitS and after recently re-watching the entire SAC series I can without doubt say that it's completely failed to do that. (if this shit gets a 3rd series where SAC never did then I'm gonna be even more salty) |

| I think Psycho-Pass does not need any more sequel. After this third attempt, I can safely say this is going nowhere. The first season was great mainly because of the interesting world building & well-done crime cases to be solved, but now it's just nothing more than shallow action sci-fi that failed to live up to the potential. Almost forgot to mention that the movie has too much CGI background. It's really jarring. The first season handles the background much better. The soundtrack is, again, samey with a few new tracks. And I am not sure why, but the directing since the 2nd season has been a bit weird. They're not as cinematic as the 1st season. I am really struggling to find the answer to this. |

| I like anime. |
| lol the engrish was strong in this one. anyways i enjoyed the movie a lot (especially the action scenes and kougami heh) but the whole thing felt a bit unsatisfying, as well as the ending. well i guess we won't see any PP material anymore in the future. |
| It was a good movie and the animation was great my only,complain is that I felt it quite forced, like, it was so easy for Akane to get there and look for Kougami, I wanted more reasons for her to go, like a bigger case in which she was needed, not only because she is obsessed with Kougami. Also, I wish it was longer, everything happens on two days, I wanted her to stay more time so she could realize the corruption and see how the world works, I feel that the mercenaries was something that could had been removed and focus on something else. The best parts of the movie where the ones with Kougami or Gin but I loved how Akane can influence on Sybil. |
