| Pretty good overall, disappointing ending. 7/10. |

Litrydow said: My fucking god, this ending was bad. I'm giving it a generous 5- for considering it had some good ideas and managed to surprise a few times throughout the show, but in general the writing was just plain bad. No, wait, scratch that. This ending was so bad I'll drop it to a 4. |
 |
| Still laughing at how a lethal shot by Kamui missed Tougane by that much, where he was able to run away. What where they are couple feet away? |
| My mind was blown, and not in a good way. I can't even subjectively rate this anime. 1/10. |

| Brave Heart~ Dislikes politics. |
| This episode felt so incredibly weird, can't say the ending was that good. Overall, it was an ok season (7/10 for me). It had it's great moments, but overall, didn't appeal to me as much as the first season. I don't think it's as bad as everyone is making it out to be, but I could live without it. The newly introduced characters were nowhere near as interesting as the first season ones, nor did they have any sort of depth. It was pretty cool to get to know the characters of the first season and their back-stories. I dislike Mika and the red haired enforcer was so lame. Tougane was very cliché "ohh look at him such a bad person". Akane was pretty cool, sad about Kogami absence and Ginoza wasn't given any importance at all. I liked the music (not talking about op and ed), but story and character wise could have been better. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the movie. |

Psycho Pass is a dumb sci-fi flick that have moments of intelligent philosophy, but that's about it. But I like dumb sci-fi flicks, so Psycho Pass is pretty much my cup of tea. |
| Definitely not as good as the first season, by far. Welp if anything this episode showed how much Tougane actually sucked, what a let down. |
 |
| So, Tougane's psychopass got shot up when he killed his mom because he didn't want her to go away. And now he makes inspector's hues "black" 'just cuz.' That was literally what his reason was when Kasei asked him that question. I had my hopes up that he'd give us a good answer, but nope "I do it because it's my job blah blah" So stupid. And then they made his character into an insane and intolerable moron who has this dying love for his mom. This may be because I missed it, but how did Kasei's/Sybil's psychopass go up so fast? Kirito's i can understand because of the collective psychopass, but it just seemed really half-assed to me. I was expecting something amazing when they judged kirito, but no, it was just point the gun, CC is up, judge. The entire buildup to the ending felt like a video game where you're going to a final boss room or something...like can we get something better here please? Mika is still annoying and useless as she ever was. But that's every episode, so that doesn't surprise me. Shisui is obsessed with Kamui and his plan to the point where she's driven insane and shot. I've noticed that this show loves doing that to characters in this btw. We've had three insane characters and all three of them have been boring and unlikable. The build up the last episode had between tougane and kamui was all for nothing because we just had akane come between it and stop it. Even in the end when they confront each other again, all we see is them shooting each other at the same time. So boring I feel like I wasted my time watching these 11 episodes.... |

I'm somewhat disappointed that Tamers scored lower than Frontiers. Would check more, but you made your anime list private just now. I assume the reason is to prevent others from criticising your taste, but you criticising other peoples' taste is a-ok. |
| Just like the moe witch hunt, is it the new fashionable thing to hate Psycho-Pass 2 without giving any good reasoning beyond subjective complaints? From the plot-twists to the plot-points to the philosophy, it's all just opinionated nit-picking as far as I can tell (or a lack of understanding). Honestly, if this series gets a 4 or 5 like other people have mentioned, I would really love to know what judging criteria you guys use and how on Earth any other show on MAL can get above a 3. Please, someone give good, clear reasoning as to why this series deserves a hyperbolic rating like a 1 that's not a one word post. |

My criteria for a ten out of ten series requires to be as least Japanese-y as possible. Why is Monster, FMA: Brotherhood and Gurren Lagaan 10 out of 10? Because it's not as Japanese-y. |
| The ending was disappointing... This season was like the first one in most of the cases. But it had the better cards to get even more interesting, which weren't played. Oh well... Hope the movie is from Kougami pov, and, ya know, "hey look im here but don't follow me" type of plot. |
Darkdrone said: Still laughing at how a lethal shot by Kamui missed Tougane by that much, where he was able to run away. What where they are couple feet away? Yeah I'm not understanding how in the world he was able to escape when it was a lethal elimination by the dominator? Do they have to target a specific part of the body? |

Let me throw something else in the bunch. Togane's psycho pass last episode when facing off against Kamui is in the 700s Togane's psycho pass after bleeding, losing an arm and in a desperate episode is only in the low 800s. You would think it would be in the 1000s after that point. Goes to show you that the numbers are pulled out of their ass. Same as when Kasei and Kamui both got 300s as their cime cc. |

While I don't agree with such a low score, I think it shows just how much people loved the first season and how disappointed they are with the second one. No character development, new characters not as charismatic/interesting as the first season ones, Kagami's absence and not giving any importance to Ginoza. I agree that it doesn't deserve a low score such as a 1-4, but personal opinions. It's on my top 2014 anime, but that isn't saying much. |

Someone writes the series was shit, pussies from all over the place start their bitching. But when someone says it was epic without giving his reasons, no one gives a fuck. But the irony is that mostly those who did not like it say also their reason. Stop acting like complete loosers, seriously. Hell the motherfucking ya man. MAL is littered with them. |
Ammish said: As much as I enjoy Psycho Pass 2, people have been descriptive of what they didn't like about it. Being descriptive does not mean that they're giving logical or valid points. For example: Ammish said: Let's not all forget, Psycho Pass had a shit ton of stupid plot devices. We seem to accept on face value that the society is run by brains and helmets can tamper with Psycho Pass levels by latching onto someone elses. How is this a legitimate complaint? With any piece of fiction, you need to suspend your disbelief to a certain extent. It's like saying that one hates Harry Potter for using an inane concept like magic that doesn't exist in the real world. Yes, it's a valid reason for not liking it, but it's not a valid reason for calling it a bad piece of work. Besides, Psycho-Pass is actually referencing concepts from famous philosophical theories like the "Brain in a Vat" and dystopian literature. Ammish said: My criteria for a ten out of ten series requires to be as least Japanese-y as possible. Why is Monster, FMA: Brotherhood and Gurren Lagaan 10 out of 10? Because it's not as Japanese-y. I won't begrudge you for your criteria and standards. That being said... WHAT? How is any media not culturally situated in it's own way? How does that affect the quality of a show? Will you begrudge a show for being too American? British? If not, isn't that just pure xenophobia, ethnocentrism and cultural imperialism? I can see where you're coming from, being able to appeal to a wide audience, but I don't think that it is fair to the show to judge it based on its cultural elements. Dooropens said: But when someone says it was epic without giving his reasons, no one gives a fuck. Oh yes, no one ever gets shit for liking something (sarcasm). How much persecution must the SOL/moe/weaboo crowd suffer? |

| It's the end of the season. D: It wasn't really the kind of ending I was hoping for so I'm slightly disappointed. Mika seems to be useless as always, sigh. |

Yeah I'm not understanding how in the world he was able to escape when it was a lethal elimination by the dominator? Do they have to target a specific part of the body? It didn't make any sense because both Kamui and Tougane were going for the kill. Kamui killed numerous people in the past and so him being off target on his shot is a plot hole. Its really that simple. They wanted a cameo of Mika and Tougane being in the same shot, so they pulled this out of their asses. |
| What a disappointment this is compared to season 1. That's it. I don't even feel like writing anything more about this. |
| Meh |
AlfonseDec 18, 2014 4:18 PM
| So....can someone explain Kogami's "going up in smoke" cameo in the op? Was that just Kogami fanservice, or are we to assume that has some relevance to the upcoming movie? Personally, I never understood why Togane didn't just blast Kamui's ass on the dock LOL. Never could subscribe to the explanations for that, not to mention everything else... |
Ammish said: After rewatching Psycho Pass (the extended version) and just finished the last episode of Psycho Pass 2, the quality between them remains almost the same. That is, full of stupid plot devices and baffling decisions characters make. Psycho Pass 2 just exaggerate these problems. The thing I didn't like about Psycho Pass 2 the most was that each episode had some edgy plot twist for the sake of shock value. Whether it was the citizens unknowingly killed innocent people through a game or that horrendous fire scene at the mansion. Otherwise, both anime has pretty stupid plots with some minor attempt at intriguing philosophy. But it is good popcorn fun and as much as some of the plot devices are retarded (brains running the system, helmets hijacking the system, multi-brain/body transplant), I do enjoy those extremely dumb moments. It is a stupid, but fun sci-fi flick. I think people expect way too much from Psycho Pass. This. S1 wasn't all that great, though I don't necessarily think S2 was worse. Just different. There are much more intelligent crime/cyberpunk animes out there. I agree that Psycho Pass never really had much beyond entertainment value. |

If the ultimate goal was to have Mika and Tougane in the same shot, they could've carried it out better and in ways that made more sense. |
| Epic failure.................... Hate Akane so much that I couldn't care less for Mika..... Hope the movie is good and somebody put an end to sibyl system and Akane's little world....... |
 |
| Lackluster ending, quite uninteresting overall. |
| Well that was an underwhelming finale. |
| I'm pretty disappointed in this. Overall, I'd say it should objectively get a 7/10, but because I liked S1 SOOOOO much, and this is bad in comparison, my emotions want me to give it a 4/10. I have a feeling that all the ridiculously low scores people are providing are due to a similar subjective-emotional rating system. Luckily, I know it's not actually bad, it was just lacking in great, which is what I came to expect from S1. It also paved the way for the movie next year, which I suspect will bring back, possibly above and beyond, the greatness we experienced in S1. |
| 4/10 Overall |
 |
| Now I understand why people hate this. But I'm still rating it 6/10. The ending was absolute crap; it almost feels like a parody of S1. On the bright side, it looks like Kougami is going to be one of the main characters in the Psycho Pass movie. |
| bad bad bad 4/10 |
| The Akane vs Tougane was rather stupid The series shows Tougane is like Kougami in brawls as evidenced with the dummy training level. Pfft. I still enjoy this season though. 7/10 Good thing i stopped caring about the plot since episode 2 |
| To be honest I always felt that Psycho-Pass Season 1 was grossly overhyped for what it was, but it can't be denied that there was a drop in quality from this season (especially with the way it has wrapped up). That's not to say that this season was a waste of time, as there were enough stand out aspects that merit a watch (some that I liked more than PP1). Overall this season gets a 7/10 from me. |
 |
| I honestly don't know why people are calling it shit. I mean it wasn't as good as the first season but that doesn't make it a shit right? I'll give this anime a 9/10. The first season was about kougami and the second seasons about akane. Anyway what happened at the end? Why did somebody knock on the door? I wonder if it's kougami... Oh yea btw, do you guys think it's possible for a season 3? I know there's going to be a movie.... but still I'm hoping for another season with both akane and kougami in it. |

The number represents the word "bad" and that is what this season was. Terrible pacing problems. Too slow in the beginning, decent in the middle and then rushing the ending and tying up too many loose threads in the last episode. Cast that doesn't get development at all. Ginoza is barely seen throughout the entire season, Sho has his moments but doesn't get less shy or open up, Tougane is the stereotypical "I am bad because I am" character and Mika didn't change at all. Mika being useless Mika being a bitch to everyone Kamui being a lacklustre antagonist. Let me sum up Kamui: Made up of 184 body parts, wants Sibyl to judge him and drugs people to do his bidding. Akane not getting any inner monologues and questioning her thought process. Hell a little reflection and thinking back to missions from the first season would have been nice. You would think going against a brilliant antagonist such as Makashima would spark some thoughts and ideas....but no. Didn't feel like a team at all like the first season and felt way too individualistic in their missions. Too much unnecessary gore. Bad animation The plot was really lacking this season and even after the finale, several unanswered questions come to mind instantly. Most of the season I am scratching my head wondering why certain characters are doing certain actions that make no sense. Plot holes galore Last episode was a trainwreck I had time to cool down and rethink about it and watched the episode again and still gets the same score. A lowly 4/10. |
| Well. my honest opinion is that someone, who managed to maim the world of PP1 so badly, should be banned from writing. But for the sake of politeness I may also formulate is as “it was bad”. I won't even touch upon the numerous plotholes, cause people have already listed many in this thread and because it's useless to try to count the endless. I still think that the thing with judging groups doesn’t make sense. It didn’t have to appear in this situation, it is not necessary, the very term “group” is pretty unclear. How does it change anything besides making the system possibly worse, and why did they want it in such a case? But nonsensical plot is not the worst offence, I’ve seen worse in anime (probably… I think). There are two things I find unforgivable. The first is the abysmal use of classical music, which we saw again in this episode. The second is that they managed to destroy Akane’s character. Akane in season one was a rare gem of a female MC – she was able, active and she had her own goals, that were more important to her than romance. In this season, despite several good moments, she is turned into a “chosen one”, practically – into a Mary Sue. She seems passive – she doesn’t evolve, she is not a driving force behind the plot anymore – instead she just sits at the center, while males act, claiming to be “inspired” by her, “admire” her or simply find her special. I don’t mean that she isn’t special or that admiration is a bad thing, but I’ve seen stories like that and it’s always the same. Being strong willed becomes not too different from having a nice butt – a mean to attracts partners. It’s not that I look for ways to invoke SJW logic, especially when discussing anime, especially on MAL, but this really reeks of a bad shoujo romance (they even had a duel because of her, and that last Kamui’s glance “look, I am dying for you!”, ugh…). Not to mention that whenever she was in doubt she invoked a ghost of Kougami, cause she of course can’t decide by herself. I wanted to prevent arguments by admitting that she was an important actor in the last scenes, where she tried to not get Kamui, Tougane or Sybil killed before judging them properly, but then I remembered that it didn’t amount to anything, since guys decided to sort it out between men… I could stand it done to almost anyone but Akane. She was free from all this stereotypes, and that made her a very precious, very valuable character. Or more precisely used to make. |

| I was hoping to see Kougami in the finale T_T Rate score 8/10. Hope the movie will be more great than this. |
| Man, i really will stop come to see what ppl comment in the finals episodes, its so much bullshit to take, that all i can do is laugh on how pathetic and delusional some of the comments are! u.u Serious, the makers of this show have his own reasons to make less episodes, and more fast paced than the previous season, so before rampaging your hate here, try to enjoy a little more what the life has to offer, rather than be so single minded in just one way of understanding a concept! ^^ In your face: "It is not society that determines people's futures. It is people who determine society's future." Like the 1st Season - 10/10 |
| A life is a history with no end...it continues to be told by others endless. We do not own lives, we own histories! |

   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| i was unsatisfied with the ending after all that buildup.... 6/10 |
 |
| Not bad but not S1 quality. I don't really resonate with the whole judge the collective society vs judge individuals in a society. The means in which Sybil evolved to be able to judge the unjudgeable was fairly mediocre. Deleted some asymptomatic brains and viola Sybil 2.0. That's how I perceived it and it seems odd. |
