| Some interesting revelations this episode. So the Sibyl system is controlled by a group of self proclaimed gods. I'm really glad Makishima turned them down, I don't like how he looks at the value of human life, but he's definitely still a very interesting character and I'd hate to see him reduced to a brain stuck in a box. |
 |
| GEN YOU DISTURBING MAN. I want to give this a 10 so badly but at the same time I really don't want to... ugh. |
 |
| It was quite obvious that he would decline, given his personality and the fact that turning him into a brain in a vat isn't exactly conducive to plot development. |
| did anyone here play VLR? that Kasei old lady got the same voice actress as the old lady from VLR i was surprised |
| Yeah Makishima!! Gotta say he is one of the best villains in a long time, rooting for him now XD Makishima twisting the Chief's limbs were quite satisfying >:) |
| This show is just awesome. Making the bad guy seem good by killing another villian xD I'm so glad he killed her/him/it (I hope he did). She/he/it gave me creeps o.o But really, this had me on the edge of my seat all the time. And in addition, totally cheering for both, Makishima and Kougami now O.O That's one intelligent duo for you. Except, Makishima could just stop killing ppl without a reason but well, this also makes him the villian, right... I don't even now how I'd like it to end and who I want to win. It's completely mind-blowing. So proceeding to the next ep... *.* |
YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |
| Makishima is irritatingly likeable now. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Why is everyone already assuming Kagari is dead? Granted the camera phone footage (and chief's reaction) implies that he didn't escape, but there was nothing like guts spilling everywhere to indicate his body was destroyed. And no one said he was dead...at least I don't think anyone said he was. Until someone says he's dead, I'm not believing it. |
 |
| That was interesting, the truth behind Sybil System has been revealed. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| WOW!!!!! definitely the BEST episode of this series so far!!! really really brilliant way to end an episode!!! first off, finally they brought in the mechs!! damn i thought they didn't have one in these world. glad they brought it in!! seems Ginzo and Kougami are starting to doubt if Sybil is really worth to trust in the first place. well Kougami never trusted it in the first place anyways. so the director Kasei was actually Touma Kouzaburou who disappeared three years ago? if that's the case who was the one that invited him in the first place? the real director Kasei?? i don't think Kagari is dead! i have a feeling he will be the one to warn the bureau on what Sybil really is. i freaking knew Sybil was already built 50 years ago. the way the system handles definitely needed a lot of resources as well as experience. so it's basically a compilation of thousands of human brains and trying to create a perfect law that can monitor everyone's hue's simultaneously and with perfect judgement? this is absurd!! and wow when the director started explaining what Sybil is, this reminded me of an episode in Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. one of the Complex episodes with "The Laiughing Man" :P fun fact, the voice actor of Director Kasei: Sakakibara, Yoshiko is the famous cyborg from Ghost in the Shell 2.0(it was originally voiced by a male), also she's the prime minister Kyabuki from Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG :) so i'm really glad she's also a cyborg here in Psycho Pass!!! i knew Makishima wouldn't join the Sybil system just like that. he doesn't want to become a "pawn" in someone's game. but rather the player or rule who controls the game :) Makishima is smart being able to capitalize on Touma being careless as ever. man he really destroyed those body parts huh? why was the fluid green though O__O it's funny how he was the first one who attack Touma as soon as he said "swift" :P does this mean Touma is dead now? i wonder if she made some back up on the sybil system? nah since he only has one brain :P lol Kougami got scared the hell when he thought Makishima was seating next to him! now i'm interested on how things will go from on here? Makishima escapes so does this mean they have to hunt him down again? what about the Director? surely Touma is pretty much dead no? and hopefully Kagari is okay!!! i wonder how will the enforcer's react if they knew the truth about Sybil? are they still willing to abide the system despite being a falsified system? can't wait for the next episodes!! only 5 left!! |
| Makishima is probably one of most interesting villains I've seen a long time. |
 |
| So how is Makishima going to survive the plan crash now? Hm... I'm sure it'll be some dramatic something or other maybe. Or maybe he'll just die but there's still quite a few episodes left so we will see. I still don't think Kagari is dead. |

| So this is what the Sybille system is made of... FUCKIN' BRAIN!! I hat Makishima, but he truly is a great character. The way he neutralised that old bitch/thing was awesome. I wonder how he crashed down a plane though. So he's on the run again. What will be is next move now that he know the whole truth. Oh, and Kagari is dead for sure. She wouldn't had let him go or used him. I wonder how the Akane and her squad are gonna find out the truth, if they find it of course. |

| Oh I have the feeling that he will show the world what the Sybil system is and maybe team up for a while with Kougami to defeat the Sybil but seems at the end something else happened.. hmm I thought that he will share that video. |
 |
| Oh, this is just great! Nice explanation! so this is what Sybil System is all about. I was mind-fucked when I learned about it. So, you know, I cannot help but love it -great idea! I wonder where it comes from, does it have any serious background or is it only the author's fiction? I should check that out. Anyway, I liked Makishima in this episode. I am sorry to believe that Kogami isn't going to really listen to what Makishima said. I hope he does, I hope Kogami will listen to what Makishima was saying (even though I seriously and honestly doubt that he will). Anyway, the thing is, Makishima was cool! I am really happy the chief got beaten up. I wonder what really happens to... her. There is something I did not quite understand. There were all those brains there, but did the cyber-chief had brain in her cyber body, or was it that all the brains are there in the Nona Tower basement? I should rematch some details >.< I guess Kagari might be dead after all. I still have a tiny hope he isn't. it's clear that chief could control the dominator -and now it makes sense why she was able/is??? to do so. Ah, i am looking forward to the next episode. So off I go, let's see what's next :)! |

| Kasei = Chief DAT PLOT TWIST. SO MANY REVELATIONS - especially about the true identity of the Chief and the true form of Sibyl System. Makishima could be a poet. And oh, he killed the Chief - I would be more happy if Kougami, Akane and others will find out about Chief's secret while that btch is still alive. I could not accept the fact that Kagari is dead. I hope I was wrong. Dat creepy moment after the ending credit. I lol at the part wherein Kougami was drinking coffee and all of the sudden Makishima appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night - but it was just Ko's imagination... until Makishima called him. |
 |
| We got to know that the Chief or rather the missing guy 3 years ago, is a bad guy.. So much revelations and poof, he's out of the game just like that. lol Well, the truth behind the Sibyl system was interesting at least.. |
| 1. seeing those brains being moved around like that was freaky 2. we need more people like makishima. 6/10 |
| 1) ok I guessed kasei was the Sybil system but that's as far as I got... wow that was a lot to take in O_o 2) I didn't really like makishima at first bc I thought he was a just a stupid stuck-up criminal, but I gained so much respect for him when he rejected kasei's offer and beat her up! 3) is kasei dead...? she's a robot so unless he got to touma's brain she's still alive, right? |
 |
| So much exposition. It was tiring to read nonstop dialogue for 22 minutes. I support Makishima's plots to undermine the Sybil System and their current society, but I also agree with Kougami that his methods and crimes needs to be atoned for and are not the right way to handle anything. Hard to choose sides. |
| The chief deserved to die cause she killed Kagari :( Shuhan said: Makishima is probably one of most interesting villains I've seen a long time. |
| Expected something like the old killer to be still alive. |
| rewatching The Sibyl brain-collective is still too stupid to identify a crime through a Dominator when it happens right in front of its scan range... so much for "judgement". Really good, intense episode still. Makishima even beats up robots. |
  |
| Lol, really liking Makishima more and more. So glad he killed the Chief. |
| so kagari died then i'm done I'M DONE |
 |
| I'm happy Kasei died. I actually don't consider Makishima hateful... I appreciate his way of thinking in this kind of world where everything is predetermined would definitely suck. |
| HEY! |
| No, THIS fucking episode. What in the fuck. |
Dude, Makishima's bad ass |

| I had a feeling the Sibyl sistem is composed from one or two human brains but not from 247! (it exceeds GLaDOS :D ... well between the Psycho-Pass events and the Portal events is a difference of about 100 years) Shougo is amazing! Will he form a partnership with Kougami? So bad Kagari is gone.. |

| Makishima escapes after we delve deeper into the Sibyl System. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Dang Makishima has layers and a sharp wit. I feel like he's really getting to be a developed character, and maybe even the most complex so far. I think he's my favorite of the series now, despite his brutality and lack of regard for human life. Despite his unscrupulous methods, is the series trying to make the viewers root for Makishima's side which even though ruthless, dreams of free will and anarchist freedom? The faults and oppressive discrimination within Sybil's system is pretty well established as this point. From the beginning, I looked at it as wrong and corrupt, but unlike at the start of the series, I no longer view Makishima as the bigger villain. He's more a heartless vigilante antivillan with a necessary vision and goal. I find myself going: "Yeah destroy Sybil, destroy Sybil. (Plus the series had Sybil kill Kagari, and try to get Makishima(a terrorist murderer) to join, further emphasizing it's corruption.) However, I do understand how dependent the people are on it, and anything too quick or radical would cause more than riots. I really hope the characters in the police force stop enforcing the will of this awful government. It bothers me more and more. They may be the protagonists and heroes of the series, but they have just been puppets following orders, in a position with lack of influence. [Okay, now I'm entering an art nerd mode.] The animation is great in this. It does a good job of conveying those subtle expressions to reflect what the character is feeling and thinking, like it did with Makishima's face during the whole conversation with Touma. It seriously changed with every thought he had, conveying so much! I wish every anime did this! |

| So Sibyl System is just a bunch of brains. Makishima just destroyed that cyborg chief. Too bad the Chief's just a body and there are way more brains left. I don't know how Makishima will stop this all by himself. He's going to need a bit of backup to make things a little easier. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| That mindblowing plot twist was overwhelmed by how confusing and difficult to absorb the information being thrown at the viewer was. It was probably just me, but I had to re-watch several of the scenes to get it. That said, SHOUGO 10/10 BEST ANTAGONIST SINCE EVER I'm greatly anticipating the moment when Kou and co. are enlightened upon the corrupt Sibyl system. Hopefully they find out THOSE BASTARDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING KAGARI. Gah. |

| good episode. |
| Wow Makishima. That was great. I like him for now. |
 |
| Huh, kinda liking Mikishima after this episode. |
| Such junk... |
| I didn't expect the chief to turn out to be that guy! WTF! Brains in jars, well ... that's a bit The Man with Two Brains with Steve Martin! LOL! Only no one fell in love with one! xD I haven't seen that movie in ages, still one of the funniest movies ever! I guess it makes sense in a way. I can't blame Makashima not wanting to be a brain in a jar! Only a weirdo would want that or someone already dying which he wasn't, glad he killed the chief and got off! He's such an awesome character! Like a kind of anti-hero like Light from Death Note. He's so smart and good looking <3 |
 |
| They use all the people that can't have their proper crime coefficient scanned to be the brains of Sibyl. The sibel system is people. I like this episode. There was a lot of story progression. |
 |
| Ok I know I've hated Makishima so far for manipulating people like he has, but suddenly I really like him now for rejecting the Sibyl system after these recent revelations. Never before did I get such satisfaction watching a psychopath beat up an old woman before, LOL Once Sibyl was revealed for what it is, we see now how he really is an anti-hero, willing to do anything for the greater good of society. |
| thumbs up for Makishima he actually earned my respect this ep! |
| hahaha Kasei took a book to the face pretty well there xD GO MAKISHIMA! |
| I knew Makishima wouldn't take the offer. But I also didn't expect him to get free so quickly! I wonder what he will do now? Convince Kougami and the gang of what Sybil really is and team up? Or just continuing playing his games like before and try to take down Sybil on his own again? ★4/5 |
