| WOAH! Masaoka is Ginoza's dad. Didn't even know! |
| Masaoka is Gino's father, I wasn't expecting that. That episode flew by me. |
FragOutFire said: Why am I a Berserk fan? All I ever experience is pain. We are in the eclipse and Miura has sacrificed us |
| The way Akane and Shogo's crime coefficient works makes me think they are very similar but are polar opposites to each other its quite bizarre how strange their Psycho-passes are. |
| poor akane. and so this are father and son. interesting. |
 |
| Story-driven as it gets, this one felt like the calm before the storm! How did Ginoza and Masaoka end up with different last names? While I've seen some predict in earlier threads their relation, it caught me off-guard. Poor Akane. That is one tough ass girl there. Re-living that horror and basically saying she doesn't give two shits about her psycho-pass is hardcore. They have Makashima identified, but that dude is wheels within wheels and he already no doubt had a plan figured out before they ever ID'd him. |
| Tsunemori is strong! She is definitely the one that will end up defeating Shogo. Lots of nice development on the nuances of the Sibyl system. |
  |
| That old lady seems to know Makishima?? Wonder if they're related by blood...purely because they both have white hair lol Brave of Akane to go through that process, though I thought her psycho pass would be as high as a latent criminal's even for a little while, guess not The thought crossed my mind briefly when it was mentioned Gino's dad is still alive, but I didn't expect Gino's dad to be Masaoka; somehow in my head I had this image of Gino's dad that is like Gino type, different than Masaoka lol so that's a shock XD |
 |
| What surprised me the most is that they (the old lady in charge, and probably a few other people) recognize that the system is flawed, or to say it in their words, not perfect. Their reasoning does make sense from a point of view, but i'm sure you could still equip the MWPSB with more traditional methods and such so that they do have a backup in cases like this, or when there is no connection. A low power shock (more like todays tasers, maybe even more low key, not like their 100% guaranteed knock out setting) that can always be triggered by an Inspector (and possible Enforcer) would be enough in most situations. Makishima might set up things differently if he knows about it, but there's a chance he wouldn't, and it would still help in most situations where they can not rely on the Sybil system, without undermining trust, especially when nobody (as in, the public) knows this third firing mode does exists.. |
| Great episode well it was much better than 12, Akane was really brave going through that process it's like a time leap without your authority to do anything, Huh I was so shocked when I heard Ginoza father is masoka. |
| Akane was very respectable there. Very positive episode. But I sure am expecting things to go very wrong in the upcoming ones. |
 |
Not strong enough if she let her friend die >____> Still not letting that go because she was weak >:T |
| Gino looks NOTHING like Masaoka :3 |
| Akane really has guts to go relive such a traumatic memory like that and she showed that she truly has a fortitude of steel by showing how easily she recovered from that experience mentally. She probably has something like what Makishima has but she's definitely not criminally sane like he is. Masaoka and Ginoza being father and son is finally clearly shown and I liked how they hinted about their relationship early in the series. That old lady's too faithful towards the Sibyl System and there's probably some relation with her to Shogo, the hair color alone being quite a hint. |
 |
| It's quite amusing that everyone is questioning the system, yet they gotta roll along. Akane impressed me with her mental strength, I hope she will utilize her potential with actions soon. And holy shit dat post credits scene. I knew something was up once she pressured Ginoza to change the report, but damn... |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So, Masaoka is Gino's father..... Damn, Akane had it tough there but at least everyone knows Makashima's face. I don't know but that old lady is creepy. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| ok like akane is becoming bad ass it seems |
 |
| So that's why Masaoka throws Ginoza rather than punching him. Akane don't seem so sad in her friend's funeral. The Chief called Makishima as 'Shogo' which indicate she must've known him in the past. And by the tone she speak, it makes me think she's the evil one. She also looks like a robot/cyborg/android. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Okay I really don't know how I didn't see that twist coming, that Masasoka is Ginoza's father. I'm a bit of an idiot huh. Well played PP. Oh and they changed the OP's visuals again?? I don't know what was up with last episode's but I guess that was a one-off. Anyway I've changed my mind on this new one, I guess it is pretty sweet with those visuals (the colours!). Also I might actually be able to sing along to this one with those English lyrics. The change in OPs will definitely be less painful than the change in EDs |

| I wonder why he allowed himself to be caught by Akane's eyes. |
| Ahh, now that's an actual OP animation haha. Last episode's was probably thrown together because they didn't ran out of time to get this one out. It looks good! |
| Masaoka being Ginoza's dad was a rather surprising reveal. The boss lady is clearly shady and that end only reinforces it. |
  Floating Around... "You're loved as deeply as the ocean reaches"  |
| So that’s why there’s always a tension between Ginoza and Masaoka, they are father and son after all. I guess that old lady boss personally know Makishima as she refers him as Shougo-kun. As for Akane, her ability to control her stress and manage her Psycho-Pass is somewhat similar to Makishima’s, so she’s probably an “asymptomatic” as well as they called it. |
| Is Tsunemori a person without symptoms? I mean her coefficient is always low like Makishima |
 |
| Really curious to see what Shogo's master plan is to bring down the sibyl system after pretty much exposing himself, just like every criminal genius, he probably wants to get caught eventually |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| I had already suspected that Masaoka was Ginoza’s dad but to hear Ginoza speaking like that to him. Uwuuuu you can almost hear the pain in his voice. Nojima Kenji is frickin amazing I like how Ginoza always speaks up for Akane. Their department seems more close-knitted than they would think. They care for one another in their own ways. L O L @ Kougami threatening to set the room on fire if he couldn’t get discharged. It’s a joke but lol, his sense of humour |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| What was that after-credits scene? |
| damn, the episodes just keeping getting better. akane is one hell of a girl. ginoza is facing the truth. and i didn't saw at all that masaoka is gino's father O_O |
| As soon as I saw Akane's CC go down after going up with the memory scan, I instantly thought that she is Crime Asymptomatic just as Shougo is. If this is the case, she may be the ace they need to bring him in |
 |
| Makishima might find akane is the person he has been looking for as she seems to have the same "ability" as he does. He probably has a plan for her to join him. That dad reveal was surprising as it doesn't seem like they hinted at it much from what I remember. Doesn't seem logical that he would work for him as it would probably cause is coefficient to go up, but that is just my thinking. |
 |
| Sounds a bit like Akane is also such a special case with a psycho-pass that never gets clouded. |
| I hope Ginoza grows closer to the other guys. His doctor recommended he talk to somebody about his feelings. I hope he can open up with the group or with one of them like he just did. He’s very reserved because of what his dad did. |
 |
| So basically this grandma (police leader) already understand about the situation, yet thinking that the system could be better.. I wonder how her reaction when sh** happend to her.. Soo.. This sh** is about scanning stress level? Glad that they will capture him even w/o using those gun.. |
 |
| Ok the new op FUCKS, and that comes from a person who skips 99% of op's and ed's "For a system such as this, the most important thing is not that it functions perfectly, but that people continue to believe that it does" -> meaning that people in Psycho-Pass live their lives based on a somewhat Stockholm syndrome-esque epidemic. They love and obey their dominator that strips away human life of it's humanness - ability to handle adversity and unexpected circumstances & make one's own decisions no matter how "wrong" they are. Also, my girl Akane is one of the best written female characters in anime i've encountered so far! |
