| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Oh wow, the beginning..and that scene at the street. Damn. Nice episode if you ask me. Shit got real in the latter half. I also liked the music of this episode :> Shougo being a boss once again this time as well. 5/5. |
 |
| Helmet that copy the scan data from nearest people to prevent from sensing criminal status. A shut-in it seems. That bad guy (Sakurai-san's character) hates Psycho-Pass system and can fight, it seems. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Shougo can fight? Great xD. |
| Dat helmet. Poor woman getting the beat down. |
 |
| It won't be an exaggeration to say that episode was the best s$x ever xD. |
| That's some brutal action ;__; Though similar to what happens in reality, I mean all those people just watching and taking vids. Can't get over how awesome Makishima is. |
 |
| Glad the finalized second OP kept the artstlye that was used for the first, I would even say that it surpassed it despite the somewhat stale song. If it hasn't been evident before, the latest episode has made it clear how the citizens have become so accustomed to the system that they wouldn't be able to survive without it. That such a blatantly suspicious person could walk around without causing distrust from passerbies says it all. In this regard Makishima is right about the citicens having turned into mindless cheeps, who abide the rules of the system without questioning it, while submitting themselves to a carefree life freed of responsibility. |
 |
| Woah, that was AMAZING. I'm so in love with Makishima! <3 |
| I've barely got words for this episode. It was so perfect. I just. (Did the animation improve since the last episode? It's always had great animation but If felt like this week it was better) The OP animation was great. And so was the ED. IDK EGOIST JUST ALKDFJASKLDF. I completely agree with Makishima. It's scary how those citizens were just watching, with such nonchalant expressions on their faces (although I'm aware it's because of the fact that they're so used to not being suspicious or scared of anyone, due to the 'godly' Sybil System). It's scarier how this sort of stuff actually HAPPENS in real life, and no one does anything about it. |
| I'm quite impressed. Great Episode. |
| Great ep. I know it's kind of messed up, but I agree with Makishima's methods lol. I know I wouldn't want to live in a world that's controlled by computers where everything you do is already decided for you. The fact that everyone just looked on as that chick was getting beat to death just shows how wrong the system is. Everyone just lives like sheep as Makishima said. With that said, he's obviously going to get caught and die but hopefully in the end the system gets changed. |
 |
| Wow. Disturbing and awesome episode. This show is a GREAT social commentary on society, and what we could become... |
  |
| Just to mention that i've seen videos where people are just staring and passing by the street when something bad happens. So, yes, it was a commentary. |
| Should've arrested the bystanders. And wow, 282? |
| The beginning was crazylike, and the chase scene was awesome ^^ |
 |
| Okay wooooooooow that guy is so creepy killing people with stationary. that gotta hurt;( BUT once again amazing episode. I wonder what Shogo wants with the.. stuff he got from the robots? LOL |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Wow the deaths this week were brutal even more so than the mid season finale with Shogo Makishima. Another piece of the puzzle is thrown out there with the mysterious person Shogo is in contact with and the stuff he stole. What he said at the end I agree with his end goal but the way of getting there is horribly flawed. It's true that Sibyl creates a fake sense of order and safety, but the way of trying to change society he has to be evil himself to expose the flaws of the system. As we've seen though, he has no problem with it which still at the moment makes him the antagonist. Another thing that got brought up which I can see playing into the factor is the surprise that Kogami's Psycho Pass got even higher. I assume the limit you need to be a "normal" citizen is X< 300 because they said he was close to becoming a criminal at 282. At the end of the series I'm predicting that Kogami's PP will get high as a result of his colleagues dying then fighting Shogo in the finale as we've seen in episode 1 Edit: Just rewatched the beginning of episode 1 and the guys with masks were there too : O Piquing my curiousity even more! |

| Wow, Makishima knows some ka-ra-tay! This episode was one of the best yet. I'm completely blown away by every little thing. The OP animation actually really impressed me as well. Holy moly, this was amazing. |
| Damn that was pretty good. Makashima seems more like a good guy now. His motive is clear and he just doesn't want to cause random crimes. The way he kicked ass at the end with those thugs was pretty awesome. Cant wait for the next episode. I wonder what they will do with those helmets? Maybe distribute them to people? |
Hybridbloodszak said: I'm predicting that Kogami's PP will get high as a result of his colleagues dying then fighting Shogo in the finale as we've seen in episode 1 I think this can happen eariler in the series. Isn't this foreshadowing? o.O ;_;. |
| So who want to see a magic trick? Boom hold these scissors kinda laugh at that part, cuz it reminded me of the joker, but that other death? no one help and just watched as a woman was beaten to all shit, there system is flawed to all shit. live stock indeed |
| Ooh. An invention to surpass cymatic scans. Glad that it all wrapped up in the end of this episode. I hope we can go on a manhunt of Makishima soon enough. |

| Those helmets were pretty cool. And the crimes were rather crazy. Great episode like always. |

| Man that was an epic episode. Brutal murders, bystanders just watching as a woman gets killed and once again the Sibyl system proven to be useless. Kogami's PP is getting ridiculously high, but apparently it was only that high for the time-being because he wanted to kill the guy. Still really high nonetheless. Then Makishima really just lays it out with those thugs! Once again kills a guy brutally by sticking the bat in his mouth and just forcing it through his throat.... Ouch. Simply awesome. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Much better than previous episodes. It reminded me of the potential that the first episode showed before it devolved into pretentious quoting and trite themes. I actually loved this episode, though, especially since the show seems to have direction now. Hopefully it can keep to this level of quality until the end, because it may end up being something neat if that is the case. |
 |
| Those two murders in the beginning. Ouch. And that woman who was being slapped around. Seriously, these people are ruthless...and shame on you bystanders. This is classic example of bystander effect and pluralistic ignorance. I almost thought it was also diffusion of responsibility but it's not because those bystanders completely didn't think about how the woman needed help. Seriously? I get that these people trust the Sibyl System and all, but how does violence not freak anyone out. It's not even the matter of desensitization, because people in this society do get freaked out by bloody stuff (like that lady in the first episode)... Makishima said some good shit. And although I agree with him about people living like livestock, I still hate him because WTF you can't just go around killing innocent people, or to overlook the killing of innocent people. |

| Brutal crimes, awesome episode. Why is Shion Karanomori not in the OP or ED animations along with the others? She is part of the team. |
 |
| All those people seeing that woman being killed... just like that... seemed exaggerated to me, Masaoka said he lived before the sybil system so it's no THAT old, and some people in the scene looked old. The way makishima killed the last guy... ouch |
| Quite an intense episode we had this week. Sibyl and humans are useless |
| Actually the crime in the street reminds of the Bystander effect, but the absolute trust Psycho-Pass society puts in Sybil system makes it more intense. Just a guess.

| It was a good episode but it really annoyed me when they just stood there and let that women get murdered, I didn't feel the explanation was enough. |

| Amazing. Every episode is better and better. I love how they question everything about that dystopic world they live in, which is not that far from the reality we live in. Science is approaching to techniques to control behaviour, know crime coefficients (do we born being evil or not?), etcétera. I just love how the show manages to question this and makes us think even further in the series, not only watch but analyze. For me, it has a score of 10 already and it will only decrease if the end is very bad, which i hope won't happen. Waiting for more!! Sent with Mal Updater |
| I have no problem saying that this was by far the best and my favorite episode of the series so far~! It was so freaking brutal and gory! This anime just keeps getting better and better. |
 |
| I shall never see the baseball bat the same way 0.0 but srsly thou Akane and Shougo is right imo, the citizens are so accustomed to the SS that they dont know how to judge things for themselves. The girl beaten to death didnt even think of running away! While i was screaming here how dodgy he looked... Best show ever thumbs up! 5/5 |
