| I disliked the season mostly because of Mika, but there goes another season. It was a good ending, because Kamui finally got his recognition (their recognition?) and even though this didn't even come close to comparing to the first season, it's got me excited for the movie. Maybe, hopefully, after it comes out, Kogami will come back with a badass third season? aha...optimism. Probably not. 5/10 for the season, 7/10 for the series. |
| Am i missing something? Who is the person in the final scene in prison? Is that Kamui? |
| So, in the end not much has changed but Sybil got at least reformed somehow. I like how Akane go out and find a solution with her reasoning and by the law and I also like how ending was pretty bittersweet. But I didn't like those last words of Sybil system that they won't enforce this new group judging in the future even after what happened and that all in this series lead almost to nothing. (by the way - am I the only one who finds "group-psycho pass" judging pretty nonsense? Cause it would lead into even more dystopic society). Now my hopes are only on the movie and I wonder if they ends with Sybil system there.. but honestly? I doubt it). Compared to S1 this season was lacking all the time as there were many logical plotholes but I can't say I didn't enjoy it as a whole, though on the other hand it was nothing special in the end, just more of the same. 6-7/10 for me. Some episodes were meh but some were pretty good. |

One of the mysteries of Pscyho-Pass If you remember Season 1 same thing same scene inside Sibyl thats one of the mystery do be frank Eliminator mode kinda vague a so-so way to die so you saw Togane didnt explode only his arm came off but in other people they explode and they paint the surroundings Red (thats their color) WC? anyway Season 1 Sibyl already sided Akane only the corrupted brains are hindering her plans to make Sibyl perfect enough to judge equally and no more flaws |
 |
| So Kogami is going to be with the terrorists attacking Sybil in the movie. Poor Akane, lol. |
wat said: So Kogami is going to be with the terrorists attacking Sybil in the movie. Poor Akane, lol. thats how Reality works, this show depicts ideal world and corruptness/flaws of the system if you see it largely thats why there wont any World Peace because each one of us has their own Ideal World the anime is way too deep if you look in different perspective from Season 1 to 2 What does Kogami wants ? What does Akane wants ? |
|
| Lol so much hate. |
 |
| Disappointing, Just kind of boring. |
 |
| I love the amount of people who were like "it was average I give it an 8" haha it makes me feel like people don't take advantage of the full range of the rating system. Digressions aside too much of this season felt forced and just there for the sake of adding tension or darker tones. Now don't get me wrong the first season had this as well but it just felt more pronounced and ludicrous. For instance the numbers always felt like they meant something in the first season but here it's just for the sake of plot convenience. The way the dominators worked in general this season ((like the 3 shot limit which got added and if I had to take a guess will never be talked about again)) just seemed to be because of lazy writing. Overall I think I'd give it an average/10 ((that's a 5 not an 8 just in case you were wondering)). |
| Well, that ending was incredibly confusing. What happened with the Sibyl system..? To me, it seemed like it basically said ''We tried to change, but in the end, we failed and we'll have to wait until we succeed. Chow bye, lol'' It looked like it made a big fuss and ended up keeping the status quo. Woah, it makes me realise that Sibyl is probably the ultimate politician, shallow as fuck. Anyway, we also found the ultimate mama boy, aka Togane. That fucking dude... ''DON'T TOUCH MY MAMA!! ONLY I CAN STAB HER TO DEATH!!!'' Anyway, I found this finale to be a bit unsatisfying. It was really confusing, though it ended on a little wink to the coming movie with Kougami probably being the main ''antagonist''. |

| idk i thought it was pretty good. was a bis confusing though and not exactly told in the best way it could have been. I hope the movie is better. But overall wasn't bad. Reading synopsis for the movie, it seems good. Makes me think about s1 opening where akane and kougami are pointing guns at each other, akane a dominator and kougami a standard gun. Akane representing sibyl and Kougami representing terrorists/rebellion/not sibyl. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
Psalidokrator said: Am i missing something? Who is the person in the final scene in prison? Is that Kamui? that was Shisui , not Kamui. How can anyone confuse them,I knew right away when I saw the last episode . The main disappointment I had in the last episode was that Shisui stayed alive .... she deserve to die (sigh) she was the character that I hate most in this season. |
| This season have one big problem, lack of characters like Shogo Makishima or Shinya Kougami... |
| Overall not as gripping as the first season, I think. I'm still glad this second season exists and wouldn't mind having another season at some point - maybe with a bit more time for story development. The music was nice as always and I did enjoy reading some of the comments regarding Mika. As I posted in a previous thread, they played you like a violin. |

| I watched the first season right before watching the second, and I can say without hesitation that season two is almost boring in comparison. Okay, yes, even the first had some elements that needed work, but overall? The characters and the way the characters interacted were SO MUCH BETTER. Makishima was, in my opinion, a brilliant villain. I disliked him as a character for his cruelty but I was honestly upset when he died because a great antagonist was lost. Kamui...in my opinion he can't even compare :/ I liked the inspectors and enforcers way more in the last season, as well. I lost count of the number of times I wanted to slap Mika >.> Also, the first season was more exciting overall. For example, I know a lot of people found the last episode disappointing, but I personally thought it had a pretty good climax. Was there even a climax in this season's finale? I felt like nothing was really accomplished... I don't wanna give it a terrible score out of respect for the first season, but I definitely could have lived without watching this. I give it a 6/10. |

| Ugh, so upset that they ignored Ginoza D:< |
| ♥（ﾉ´∀`） |
| We already knew that the system was flawed from season one... Here are some of my final thoughts about this anime: -Too many deaths. -Severe lack of great MC and villain. Sorry, Akane, but Shinya is over 9000 times better and more interesting than you. Same thing about Kirito compared to Makishima. -Mika annoyed me with her constant jealousy and backstabbing AND she got away with all of it. Final score is 6/10 because despite all of the above mentioned, I was still somewhat mildly entertained. Now let's hope the movie will be better. |
| Dammit, I thought that when Kamui was making Sybyl judge itself, it was going to be a epic psychological back to forward about its morals and stuff but I get the most uninspired thing that happen. Sybyl was like whoops, erase, erase, erase. I'm more perfect now, now the error is gone now I can judge this collective being, can I get fistbump. I'm not buying this shit. What did it even acomplish? Sidenote: Why does Akane just let Sakuya just die, get rid of him, he's no hope saving anyway, what's the point of keeping him alive. Let god kill this son of a cracker. (he dies anyway tho). :l@ not impressed |
| My life is boring cause I'm boring If you're not at school what can you do, you stare at a screen of bright pixels |
| Wasn't expecting this season to top my favorite anime season ever (season 1) but very entertaining, 10/10 for me. Now I just that in the near future the Sybil system and Mika get destroyed because oh my did they both dodge a bullet there. |
VanishingKira said: MASTERPIECE.  But no seriously,this was utter shit compared to S1 4/10. agree, utter shit 4/10 |
| I don't get why you people hate it so much. Yes, season one was definitely better but this one was pretty good as well. Aside that idiot called Mika and the multiple massacres, it was very nice seeing a more serious Akane and a good villain like Kamui. Tougane was also a very interesting character and the OST and animations are great as always. I think my only regret is that Ginoza was left out. I personally enjoyed the season. Lets see that the movie will offer us. |
 |
| RIP Kamui. I don't care about Togane and his mom's death though, lol. So he had "Oedipus Complex". Akane still maintains her hue color despite of the terrible things that happened around her. Mika suffers insanity. Although she's annoying, I still feel sorry for her. Although this show is not really bad overall, it is not as gripping and epic as the first season. |
 |
| I don't hate the 2nd season as much as everyone else here apparently but it's very underwhelmng. I fell in love with the story and society season 1 created and even though not all cases/episodes were equally good, the end game with Makishima was truly interesting and kept me pulling in, something that S2 misses in my opinion. I don't dislike Kamui, I actually like the goal he managed to accomplish, for the system to recognize a group of people and judge them as whole and thus creating a situation in which the system itself has been (and can be) judged (in the future). The only problem is just that it's very underwhelming and doesn't feel like an ending, more like a prelude to another season or movie, though I highly doubt the upcoming movie will have anything to do with overthrowing the Sybil System. The main problem with S2 is the lack of enjoyable/interesting characters. Where in S1 we had Ginoza, Kougami, Masaoka and ultimately Makishima, I have yet to hear people actually state they like the S2 characters. Ginoza is barely even present in this season and Mika is just a piece of shit that managed to frustrate about 9/10th of the viewers. Akane is the only overlapping character for both seasons but she alone does not cut it, I personally didn't like her that much in S1 and without the other characters to strengthen the cast, it's just very weak and if a show doesn't have likeable or interesting characters, it's pretty much doomed anyways regardless of plot and S2 is the prove of that if you ask me. The only saving grace for S2 was the screentime Saiga got but again, he alone cannot save the trainwreck that is the "main" cast. Another problem is Kamui, like I said, I don't dislike him at all, I feel kind of sorry for him I suppose but that's it. He's just... there. His background story is very much stretching the bullshit level for me and we don't get the chance to get to know him like we did with Makishima and it just shows that the S2 cast is just not that good. They should've concentrated on his pov, shown how exactly he is able to control everyone's psycho pass (the one scene with Shisui -or what is her name- does not explain much at all) and important stuff like that. Apparenly he knew about the true nature of the Sybil System and used his own situation to confront his own problem and the System in 1 go but how the hell did he discover it? It just feels very forced and a bit of convenient writing, which only cheapens his character. Frankly speaking he's a very inferior antagonist compared to Makishima and that's the main problem I think. All in all I did like some aspects of this season. I like the idea of the possibility of Akane being the one to do the final judging on the Sybil system, and Kamui whom made that a possibility. But there are a lot of plot holes (how the hell did Kamui know about the true face of the Sybil System is my main question)/inconsistent writing/irritating actions from certain characters that just blow the good points up and made the season just... not that good. It might've been better if this was the first season or perhaps a prequel to it, obviously with Kamui having a different goal but still starting some kind of evolution against the Sybil System and then handing the baton over to the first season (and Makishima), I feel like a lot of people would judge S2 less harshly because of the unavoidable comparisons that are being made now. |

| this was one of the all time worst sequels ive ever watched, its astonishing how much this series gets wrong, this is definetly in the same veign as darker than black S2 and char's counterattack where the series is just nothing but a collection of fuck ups and bad ideas that only lessen my enjoyment of the series prior to it. |

| 7/10. Enjoyable overall, but nothing stellar compared to Season 1. I liked the Kamui character(s) and Tougane was a total piece of shit... other wise somewhat forgettable characters. (Minus a few from season 1) |

| Well up until this point I was sold on this one, but this final episode has stirred up an array of mixed feelings. Although I most certainly ended up enjoying this season, it just felt like something important was missing. It had some interesting ideas, particularly the omnipotence paradox and the theme surrounding the colors, but it felt a great deal less inspired than season 1. The philosophy was far more watered down and Kamui's motives felt like they fell short in comparison to Makishima's. I don't want to compare this to season 1 too much though, but I just feel that if they were going to do a sequel, they should have done something more relevant to what happened before. This story, as someone else put it, felt almost like it could have been passed off as filler. Huge potential was wasted and I would find it even more disappointing if Psycho-Pass suddenly stops without closure, which was ironically provided in season 1. With that said though, I will go ahead and give this season its due praise and say that it was able to draw me in and keep me glued to it from start to finish. The early episodes were very strong and Kirito Kamui's case was still a fascinating one. The idea that his existence ran parallel to the Sibyl System itself really begged a new question to its order and whether it was worthy of judging him or not. I'm not exactly sure what happened at the end, but my guess is that after assessing Kamui, Sibyl removed the brains that had Crime Coefficients above 300 in order to match Kamui's existence while remaining within their own parameters. That might explain why they were so readily willing to remove Togane as well, although I'm still confused how she was able to abuse Sibyl's will as an individual. Another shortcoming with this season is its length. 11 episodes just aren't enough with what this series puts on the table with its characters and themes. If they do continue PP, I hope they take their time to flesh out what made season 1 such a joy to me. I'm going to say a solid 8/10. Although that does indeed mean very good, it's still disappointing from the angle of someone who considers season 1 a 10/10 and top 10 show. Oh and can I just say how much fun Mika was? Trolled easily agitated viewers and I found her to be too amusing in general. |

| Ah this season was great! Kamui was a great antagonist with an interesting concept that supported him. Although having 184 people's consciousness is a little bit iffy for me because of how difficult it is to assign thought processes to sectors of the brain. However! That's something I can overlook because it is 2100 and there are many possibilities that I am not aware of. Some of Kamui's actions were kind of vague to me as to why he needed so many people dead to achieve his goal, but I can theorize about those. 9/10 for me. I enjoyed it very much. I'm not really too sure why people hated this season so much (because I don't go to each page and read every poor sod's post) but I believe the story does present itself well, although not quite as clearly as season 1. |
| Okay, so Kamui points the Dominator to Sybil and it reads '300'. After Sybil discards some of the brains that would increment its Crime Coefficient, the Target Threat Judgement is updated to '0'. 1) I understand that Sybil's CC as a collective entity could be low, okay. But how could it be 0? If Sybil discarded some of the brains because they were going to have a negative effect on its CC... was it because the final CC was going to be an average value? Then, Kamui says to Tsunemori, 'If it's a collective entity, the one who's holding the Dominator becomes a part of it. If someone else points it at that thing, it may show a different color'. 2) Why would Tsunemori be able to read a higher value if she pointed the dominator to Sybil? After all, Sybil is behind each Dominator. Why would the person holding the weapon have any influence on the veredict? All in all, I liked Season 2. I think it was unnecessary to leave Kougami out. It felt like those movies 'part 2' that leave certain characters behind because the actors who play them don't accept the money they're offered to make a sequel I really like how determined and independent Tsunemori became, and I definitely prefer 'the new' Ginoza from Season 2. |
| ^ That was one of the main points that frustrated me this season. First off, all the brains in Sybil are the brains of the CRIMINALLY ASYMPTOMATIC (info from S1). Why the heck would the collective CC be 300? And even if that were the case, all the judgements of the Dominator must go through Sybil first (this is also something confirmed in S1 by Choe Gu-sung). So they would never judge themselves as 300. Their number and psycho-pass would be pure right from the start. |

In fact, didn't Kasei, the Director, manipulate the reading of the Dominator or Kougami's CC so that Ginoza would kill him instead of paralizing him, in Season 1? |

Yeah, what I'm saying is that Sybil determines all CCs, so that would include their own. Why would they make their own number 300 in the first place? Also, yes ,Kasei (being part of Sybil) was able to manipulate the Dominator both in order to kill Kagari and to try and get Ginoza to kill Kou (or she could have communicated with Sybil to do that, etc., but it's technically the same thing). |

Ratohnhaketon said: I'm all ears if you can provide specific examples supporting those claims. It's very simple why the omnipotence paradox has nothing to do with anything.It's because nobody in the universe of this show is omnipotent. The whole talking about the Devil's Proof was also a waste of time,because we already know that Kamui is real ,and so do the characters in the anime just a few episodes later. While we at it,what's the point of collective Psycho-Pass,except to judge people like Kamui,whos backstory made no sense anyway? In what senario is judging people collectively better than individually? Because I can't think of a single one. Ratohnhaketon said: Just fair warning that you can't use Google on this one, since it requires critical thinking and application of connecting the dots. Don't make me laugh.If you are doing that you are putting more effort into it than the writer did. |
| Dunno why, but this season just didn't really compel me to watch it like the first season did. I just wasn't all that interested in the plot...i felt like the whole "What color am I?" catch phrase was a bit of a cliche....Kamui's backstory was to me immensely bland and also a bit of a cliche...I don't really know what to say...but the first season grabbed me by the balls from the very start, this...not so much... |
