kondee said: It's interesting you mention this cause I though it was very similar to Fate/Zero's scene with Irisviel "Iri" von Einzbern whom the choking had a much similar show like this one.Yumekichi11 said: A rather interesting cyber crime patrol this episode. One thing I will quickly mention is the following spoiler I can't help but laugh considering my cousin was joking with me I am not sure of knowing the personal tastes of these people but it's possible Gen has a choking fetsih and it's possible he likes that IRL but IMO he just did it to traumatize people as much he did with that same shit on Iri and yeah RAGE LOADS! When that happened. This girl of this episode I could care less. Now get her to interact and give me some time to like her then maybe it would be different. What I care of is WTF is the dude's problem in doing this. What is it that made him jealous to the point of killing a person just due to their avatar and ways online whom are fictional IMO????? |
| Who voiced spooky boogie? I can't find info on the seiyu. Seems like the girl form that Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! |

| This ep kinda disappointed me, i was really looking forward to more action |
MajorArmstrong said: Yea I agree with you on hoping the series would be more gritty, I prefer the darker, serious side and hoped there would've been more actual action and fighting this eptotally wtf'd this episode, can honestly say that i wasn't expecting it to go in that direction. Hope the virtual reality avatar hijacking doesn't last too long because i was hoping this series was gonna be more gritty and dark as i just can't take "spooky boogie" seriously haha. |
xtremexx said: hope there will be more long arcs or maybe one huge one. For some reason i get the feeling that something will happen to the machine that controls the crime coefficients which will cause all the detectives to have high amounts and get hunted, while they try to prove their innocence. well that's just my opinion :/ They could be planning to somehow take over the sibil system by using that online thingamajig and then manipulate peoples psycho pass, so then dominators dont work on them = police are fucked xD |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| I didnt like the second and third episode,good thing the anime improves once again 5/5 for this episode. |
| Awesome shitz..... Season's Best Anime...... :D 5/5 |
 |
| Another solid episode... at first though, I thought I DLed the wrong show lol I love the character design of "Spooky Boogie".. great avatar. |

Obstinate said: Toucanbird said: UnbornMVs said: Dropped . These series are shit . Yet, one of your favorite animes is Sword Art Online and you have the audacity to call this "shit." Hmm... Opinions. Anyways, this was a good episode. I'm just saying it's a very narrow-minded opinion. I know everyone "likes what they likes and hate what they hate"...I am guessing his reason for hating Psycho-Pass would have to do with the lack of character development as well as progression in the plot, two things Sword Art Online are the MASTERS of. |
| So a top A graduate had to resort to seeking advice from a charisma counselor on internet that can be just a crackpot....sigh.... Anyway, the more I see this series the less dystopian it seems compared to, say, Blade Runner, Minority Report or 1984. True the mention about being scanned and identified just by appearance on streets can sound like Minority Report but here it is less intrusive and thorough - only identity and perhaps psycho parameters are scanned it seems; the mention of indoor camera may sound like 1984 but here it is used for decoration not for big brother type of monitoring; the dark and night landscape may look like Blade Runner but here there seems to be no lack of people having real fun, and the society is fully employed. I do not mean to deny there are certain questionable issues in this society, be it the acquiescence of bullying in a government sanctioned factory or the potential to kill an innocent person by police just because she gets emotionally unstable; but I just want to say that it seems the society in this anime did not confirm my worst fear of what a dystopia it is -- at least compared to those works I've just mentioned. Anyway, I can't shake off the feeling that I am watching an updated version of Kirino (from OreImo) cursing in front of the computer monitor ;-) When you stare deep into the abyss; the abyss also stares at you |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| so the question guys is, if the victim couldn't have left the house untraced, how come the suspects do so, oh and how come they didn't investigate at that point of view anyway, a great episode and a solid show still \m/ |

skudoops said: symbv said: Well she didn't know that, apparently the dude was very popular because of the advice he gave working? Either way, alot of people do that, it was a more direct approach but many people ask for advice on the internet from random people, not really out of place imo at least.So a top A graduate had to resort to seeking advice from a charisma counselor in internet that can be just a crackpot....sigh.... I know. Perhaps I have some unreasonable expectation that a person who graduated top of the class would know better than going to the most popular talking man in the internet to ask about her personal socializing issue in front of hordes of spectators. Perhaps in that world people are so used to doing things on internet and in public forum instead of seeking private counsel... |

| Easily the best anime this season. Love the world and the technology they created for this setting. I'm thinking that the episodes are more linked than we believe and in the end it will all lead to a showdown between Kogami and his nemesis. |

| Hmm that episode was trash. This anime is starting to get boring. Guilty Crown was much better and more exciting. |
| Definitely my favorite show of the season so far! (I did a mini-review of the first three episodes in my blog as part of my "Fall Ranking" series.) Tris episode was full of fantastic world building! Great to finally meet the main antagonist that was foreshadowed in the opening. Now on to the meat, of the first part of the show at least. On a side note, it is hard to believe that the person whose avatar was Spooky Boogie went to school with Akane! She didn't look like she was anywhere near the same age! Perhaps Akane is older than she looks? (Or that woman had some seriously hard miles on a low mileage frame!) |

| I felt safe trolling (guilty pleasure) behind my computer screen...not after this. |
 ^ Why isn't this updating... |
| Ok, I'll prepare myself mentally every episode! I'm sure the series is going to be darker and darker! |
| This wasn't the show that I was most excited for originally, but it's starting become the one that I look forward to most each week. |

I actually always assumed Akane was in her early twenties, like a graduated university student. |
Z-flame said: It's like Madoka all over again. Clearly there's no moe in this show. JK Akane is pretty moe. |
| That is one gruesome way to get rid of a body... Was kind of amused that those forums members had high crime coefficients. Anarchism is likely to lead to crime? Go figure. |
| Nice Halloween episode with some interesting developments. I knew I got a 1984 vibe from this :) |

| Well, this anime has been decent so far. With these previous 3 episodes, it feels like CSI meets Equilibrium. Boring characters, with a procedural crime similar to that shown in Equilibrium. Hopefully things pick up with this main antagonist. |
 |
| Dem Tomatoes portraying the blood being spilt. Oh Man, this show is so damn sexy. |
 |
| Another nice death. |

Kurini said: YOU SHOULD! Everyone knows Gen is always planning something nasty around. Look at the O_O of Fate Zero through its course. There are loads. Guess what? Same guy makes this show. Be ready , this is just a taste of it and the OP should also tell you a rather weird screw up around with the setup it has.Ok, I'll prepare myself mentally every episode! I'm sure the series is going to be darker and darker! |
| HAHA!!! Upgraded Amusphere version - Comosphere!!! Great episode overall!!! |

FatCobra said: Hmm that episode was trash. This anime is starting to get boring. Guilty Crown was much better and more exciting. ok man no....I liked guilty crown too, but this is so much better. besides, they're completely different kinds of anime, you can't really compare them in terms of "excitement" |
 |
| Good episode. The shot of the tools at the end sparked some pretty nasty mental images though O_O |
| Oh great the current villains are as bad (as in "bad grades" and not "bad guy") as the villains in the current SAO arc (anime obviously). |
 |
| Finally, a harder case to solve :D |
| Well, Urobuchi haven't really disappointed me yet... |
| Masaoka's decision to find the suspect by checking the crime coefficients of the guests is bugging me. Because of the hacking, there was a bit of commotion and people were bewildered so I think it's safe to assume that the crime coefficients of almost everyone present there rose up at that point of time due to confusion and fright. So, among all of those people clad in identical costumes, hoping to find the suspect by simply checking their crime coefficients is stupid in my opinion. |
| I suspect that Akane will be the next one to be targeted, since she is also pretty famous apparently. I didn't expect Spooky Boogie to die before Akane saw her irl somehow, so that was pretty unexpected although her death was kinda expected. I'm looking forward to more, interesting arc. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

So, among all of those people clad in identical costumes, hoping to find the suspect by simply checking their crime coefficients is stupid in my opinion. I have to agree with you. His decision really bothered me especially since he was, in my opinion, the wisest man out of the whole team; given his age and his previous conversations with Akane. Now I know that he's still pretty ignorant regarding how CC works and spreads from one person to another... Oh well. |
| Nice, nice, nice episode. Oh the suspense :D. Best anime of the season so far. Easily 5/5 Oh and tomatoes :D |
 ~ IA- Aria on the Planetes ~ Vocaloid V3 voiced by LiA (Clannad Afterstory, Angel Beats! theme song singer) |
| I enjoyed the fact that they keep on diving more and more into their universe as the episodes go by. Other than the relationship between the characters and their suspects, I enjoy seeing how their society functions. |
| Horrible. Can someone please tell this guy that artificially creating moments to drop another one of those philosophical gems does not equal good writing. This is almost the exact same level of abuse you would associate with the likes of Tite Kubo and "Oh Great". So this whole episode was pretty much based on the laughing man case, at least a poor mans version of it any way. This series could do a much better job at disguising where it's influences are coming from. Although that's not the biggest problem, The weakest area so far is the mystery aspect. I find the comparisons to CSI quite fitting both have a lot flash but when it comes to deductions,piecing information together,twists and building suspense both are very lacking. Will probably give it a few more episodes to see if things will finally start to pick up. For me no amount of talk over the moral ambivalence of the Sibyl system and dominators can gloss over the huge flaws present in this anime. |
