Sami-kun said: Everyone saying that the second season was disgusting and I'm here thinking it was even better than the first season. > Better pace > Great cast (Akane is fucking badass now, Gino is great, Tougane was THE character who made Psycho-Pass 2 - at least, in my opinion - and Saiga Jouji was interesting too) > Great OST, like the first season. I liked the OP/ED (best ED from the series imo) > Better animation (11 episodes rather than 22 so it's normal) and still the great atmosphere that I liked from Psycho-Pass I don't agree with people saying "Kamui = Makishima bis", they are totally different characters, particularly when you learn who Kamui really is, "his" true nature. They share perhaps similarities in their modus operandi, but they are clearly different : Makishima was using people for his goal while Kamui was helping people, making them clear, and just wanted to be judged and recognized by Sibyl. Don't get me wrong, the first season was great too and had clearly more potential, but there were many moments that slowed the pace from the story (Spooky Boogie case, flashbacks from secondary characters, Makishima endless speeches with his numerous book quotes...) So yeah, I can understand people who prefer the first season but I don't understand people saying it was utter shit and a pain to watch when it was actually pretty well-made and enjoyable to watch (which was a big surprise in my case because there weren't Kou and Tot-san, my 2 fav characters from the 1st season) >great cast >great ost >better animation am i supposed to take this post seriously ? |

| Kougami became a ghost in ths season. 7/10 Time to watch the movie. |

| Not nearly as good as the first season but I expected as much. The OP and ED this time around weren't good at all imo and I skipped the OP every time which I rarely do. The plot itself was just a lot more meh than the original. I could care less about Sakuya and the nothingness he brought to the show. I doubt I'm going to watch the movie now since this just really put me off the idea of more Psycho-Pass because this was such a let down. 6/10 |
 |
| Good finale, but really mixed on this one. Kamui was able to technically kill Tougane's mother, even though she was just a figure for Sybile. Heck how many times did the chief's body destroyed back in S1 :P Also fuck that Shisui. Seriously she went crazy as fuck and i can't believe a normal side character inspector could do so damage so far. It's an interesting concept they were trying to cover. Collective Psycho-Pass in one person. I think the show really shows how flawed something like Sybil system can be. Do wonder if a society can accept such a thing. So Kamui dies in the end. How the hell did Tougane survived the lethal blast!?!?! And Shimotsuki is annoying the shit out of me. Seriously i hope Yayoi finds out what she did and torture the hell out of here. As usual the Chief survives. I wonder if Tougne did died??! I think the problem is how the series ended in a middle of the show. Its not fully covered as S1. Heck S1 ended on a high note, and Psycho-Pass 2 feels like it ended at the middle. I give it an 7 or 8. Definitely not on par with Season 1, but at least the music and gore is much more. Gonna watch the movie and see if it can follow up much better :) |

| I liked this season overall and the end was good. I give it 8/10. Akane will uphold the law no matter what so it'd be good if she was one of the brains in a jar lol. I don't think she wants that. I can't believe Sibyl destroyed some of it's own brains and Kamui finally got a read of his crime coefficient as it finally recognised him. But now after all that he's dead and Togane mother who was somehow pretending to be Kasei, which I don't know how or where the real one was. I thought his mother really was that one which kinda would have been a plot, I didn't know she was impersonating her until I read it on the Wikia and it all made sense how she was there at the end again after being shot. Plus Togane and Kamui shot at each other and killed each other at the same time, or not quite because somehow and I don't get how Togane survived for a bit then the other girl Mika was gonna kill him but he just died, which I wasn't sure if he had or not and said she'd keep it all a secret. Well, quite intense episode and season. It didn't have Shinya or Shougo from the first season which made that season epic but the plot of this season Kamui wanting to be recognised after his Frankenstein surgery and to get revenge for the season of hell was an interesting story made more interesting by it being interlaced with Togane and his mothers story. I did not like Mika much though, Akane was a bit cooler this season though and she imagined Kougami a few times and started to smoke like him because he missed his smell which is sweet. I can't wait to see when the movie is dubbed what happens as Shinya is in it, that should be epic again. |

| Not as good as the first season but still pretty enjoyable, i was waiting for Kougami reappearance all the time but never happened, and that annoying Shimotsuki was a bummer nothing happened to her as well. Overall score 7/19, onto the movir, i hope it'll be better |
 |
| There's honestly no solid reason to watch this. 4/10 |
 |
| I have some questions. Why could Togane mother be judged? Aren't the people that compose Sybil system asymptomatic, unable to be judged? So why did her numbers go up? And how come other brains in Sybil could also be judged? Did I understand season 1 wrong and there are normal AND asymptomatic brains in Sybil? And why could Sybil suddenly judge Kamui? Does it have something to do with the brains Sybil threw out and that it decided to judge groups? |

| well that was kind of anti climactic, like everyone else has been saying no where near as good as S1, it ain't terrible its like a 6 or 7, I enjoyed seeing the more experienced Akane but this final episode was pretty underwhelming. I was sooo looking forward to Mika shooting tougane and killing him but instead he just bleeds out and she pathetically conforms to sibyl. Ohh well still have the movie to look forward too. |
| All in all I really liked the season, but this finale felt a little... I don't know, underwhelming? It wasn't as explosive as I would have hoped. I felt like the new characters didn't get enough time to develop with only 11 episodes as opposed to last season's 22 and this season suffered a bit from it. Animation and voice acting were still strong, as was the world building. The story was good overall but lacked here or there. I do like the returning characters but wished we got more of them, especially Ginoza |
| I wonder if the brains ever get headaches? it must be SO LOUD with everyone thinking at once lol |
LOOL alkchf said: No mention of Zankyou no Terror excuse me?????? ----- so basically the ending was letting sybil do whatever the crap it wants until it decides on the polka dotted moon to change. which is exactly what happened with S1. ....... |
 |
| Overall I can't say I particularly liked this series, it has too many flaws and is nowhere near as good as season 1. The overall plot felt relatively similar to season 1 where a main antagonist is attempting to exploit the flaws of the Sibyl system. It didn't necessarily add anything new to the series. I didn't particularly like Kamui as a villian either, I found the fact that he is made out of 180 or so dead people rather unrealistic, even in this technologically advanced cyberpunk world. Overall he isn't as entertaining as Makishima. I had problems with some of the other characters as well. Akane didn't have much character development this season, infact she felt much of the same as she did last season. Still unable to pull the trigger while Kamui is getting away. Tougane was an interesting character but to me he felt like a mere replacement for Kougami. I hated Mika and honestly didn't understand the point of her. All she did in the season was whinge about Akane not 'doing things by the book' yet she hesitated out in the field while placed under pressure, absolutely useless. The one time she actually did detective work she was shot down by Kasei & the Sibyl system. With Ginoza now a mere enforcer from season 1 it would have been interesting to see him develop as a character in his new role and explore his professional relationship with Akane. Sadly that didn't happen as he's reduced to a minor character with few lines of dialogue. Really disappointed. Hinakawa summarises the problem with most of the characters in the series. He seems like a decent likeable character but like with the others his character isn't development while his back-story isn't properly explored. Despite these flaws there were some things I liked. For instance the season reinforced my knowledge of the Sibyl system. Yes I know it was explained in detail in season 1 but it's all easy to miss if you're not paying attention. It's also been a while since I watched season 1 so I'm unable to really compare the Sibyl system from the two seasons but from what I've read here on MAL, each season presents Sibyl differently. Also I still found the series to be mildly entertaining, I didn't find any particular episode to be boring. Overall I'd give the series 6/10 (which is actually a bad rating by my standards). |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| The reason at least what made first season enjoyable for me in the first place is that there were so many inner monologues especially that was done one of the best and cool main antagonist in anime history in other words Makishima. His inner dialogues and the way he questions the current corrupted society that is regulated by artifical intelligent sytem what made this show more intriguing in my eyes. I mean I'm English Language and Literature graduate and seeing so many question from one of my favorite authors made this more literal. It is a good way to make a some comparison between plot and the way the things are happening in our modern, corrupted society that is currently being watched by Big Brother. So those quotations from well-know artists were very nice touch on character development and was also good way to deepen the plot that tries to critize our current corrupted yet still ever going beautiful society. In this sense I really liked the existance of Makishima and his sworn enemy who is in the same mentality and wavelength with him. Their challange to each other in witty way to find the meaning of their own existance as well as to hammer some sense to audiance to realize what shitty system we are living in now. In short it was good ride to watch those character up until the very end of the show. However this season which meant to be sequel I guess was a mistake. There were no witty dialogues or monologues were included in the script that they did with first season so it was utter dissapointment for me to see the quality of storytelling dropped this dramatically. I could at least understand where Kirito is coming from with his ideals but it wasn't enough to explore his true character as well as his inner thoughts with only 11 episode long second season. It felt pretty rushy so I'm not satisfied with what I have watched with this so-called sequel. I guess that might be the reason why people are shit posting about second season and it is my dear mates the second season didn't meet with the expectation of most of people who were expecting the same quality plot writing which can be relative from people to people and character development and their background stories that was told in literal way that they have witnessed in the first season. In short the first season was interesting to watch but the script writing didn't appealed me that much so I'm not even going to rate the secon season while I have rated first reason with 7.5 just because the reason I have told above and it is the witty monologues that criticising the very fountation of our modern society in literal way by quoting from actually literal works. And then again when you look at this season you wont see anything like that at all. Literally nothing and hell if I know why did they something like that... |
| Finally this is over. I have to admit I was hooked but only because I wanted it to eeeeend. The case dragged on for way too long. With all the new characters they should have atleast some normal cases to build up everything. This was really really annoying to watch. This season shouldnt even exist imo. |

| maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan this was terrible, thank good i already heard that the second season would be bad so i didnt come in with high expectations but still... it managed to undergo my low expectations even then. 3/10 |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| This was a pretty sequel and super disappointing due to so much characters being added and not much development for the 1st season characters like our old former Inspector Gino or the other enforcers. |
| 7/10 First season is superior but I liked the finale tho its about time Akane actually kills someone over 300+ |

DreamerXX said: TragicRomance said: 7/10 First season is superior but I liked the finale tho its about time Akane actually kills someone over 300+ Who did she kill? No one, she never even fired her Dominator even once this episode. That's what I said. It's about time she actually kills someone. |

| What the fuck was this season???? Just degraded Akane and its in-universe logic to such an extent that it became ridiculous. Akane's insistent on 'arresting' doesn't even make sense on a 'ghost', a person of no registry or colour. She herself doesn't pulls the trigger that kills but conveniently someone or the other handles that problem. The Sybil System was showing concern over a multiple transplant-in-1 person, and evolving over such a abysmally small probability of re-ocurrence, but no contingency plans for other scenarios such as hackable system, guns or grenades, illegal drugs or suppressors. Thw writing was shallow just as characters behaviour and other rationalities......Ughhhh 5/10 |
| Just finished my rewatch of this and I remember why I didn't like it as much as the first season when I first watched it years ago when it aired. It feels like the new writer/director for S2 saw how dark PP1 was and tried to emulate it with dark and edgy scenes, but couldn't emulate all the things that made PP1 so great in the first place like its philosophical themes. It has alot of gore and shock factor in the form of brutal death scenes but that's about it. I felt like Kamui was such a generic villain compared to Makishima and his motivations feel like a poor man's version of what Makishima sought to achieve in PP1. Overall the series just feels like a watered down version of its predecessor. Also, alot of the new characters like the new Enforcers on Akane's team feel pretty generic compared to the Enforcers from PP1. It's not all bad though, there are some legitimately cool scenes and it's worth watching alone for Akane's character arc. She is a fantastically written character and arguably the sole saving grace of PP S2. It also needed more Yayoi x Shion tbh, that small scene in Episode 7 isn't nearly enough. =[ |
| Could of been better. But as Frank Sinatra once said. "That's Life" |
| This society is ugly, This season is bullshit. Not enough Ginoza. Tougane is a weirdo bitching about his mother. Kamui is bland even though he's portrayed as someone so complex. All the more reasons to miss Makishima... Sibyl doesn't make sense. Well, this season really shouldn't exist. |
| Final episode greatly resolved the conflicts character-wise, but as a whole with Sibyl only purging itself from outliers in its brain collective and its society kept intact then the last episode is reminiscent of the finale of season 1. Nothing absolutely changed for the context of the bigger picture. Back to square one using Dominators on criminals and keeping crime coefficient readings to safe levels. What a roller coaster of a ride this show was: there were ups, downs, bends, and loops yet the experience at the end is the same - on flat rails. |

| Entertaining? Yes. Anywhere near as philosophical or thought provoking as S1? Not at all. gonna give this one a yikes/10 |
 |
| I actually found this season quite intriguing to say the least. Kamui is leagues behind Makishima but damn this season really highlighted how flawed the system really was compared to the first season where it mainly focused on the philosophy of the system and its relationship to the likes of Makishima. My memory is a bit hazy since I watched the first season years ago after putting this on hold because of people not really liking it but I guess I'm in the minority that actually liked it. There were bits of bs that was hard to swallow but overall I think this sequel really opens up a lot of possibilities for the upcoming sequel. I'm still not sure how the eye-patched inspector got brainwashed liked that, I actually can't wrap my head around it or is it really just drugs doing its thing? Characters really needed a bit of fleshing out like what they did with the first season |
| There was a lot of bs in this, but at least it was never boring. Looking forward to S3. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Great finale on so many levels, where do I even start from. - Kamui finally got judged for the blackness in his soul. I was starting to think that it won't even be admitted at this point. - Teppei not only successfully stopped Aoynagi, but he also just paralyzed instead of killing her. - Mika demonstrated character development, and for the better instead of getting off scot-free because of Tougane's involvement. By the way, Tougane may have failed with Akane, but he very easily might have succeeded coloring Mika black. - Sybil successfully evolved, removing the black elements that ruined its clear image from Season 1, instead of just being destroyed. - Tsunemori kept her color, reinforcing her image as a protector of the law first and foremost. The last two are very important, because they mean that this sequel eventually developed the story instead of ruining it, even if the way to getting there was extremely frustrating... I do actually wonder if it could be executed better. I also gotta give props to the Season for showing that the show can stand on Akane's lone shoulders instead of relying on Kougami. Not that I don't want Kougami to get back to the scene, but because of this his return would be even better now. 1. Characters. +1 | While I'm not a fan of Kamui or most of the new cast introduced, Akane and most of the old cast were still good enough to carry the show. Most of the support cast didn't get much attention, but you can't help that in a single cour. Overall score: 6/10. A nice continuation to the series, we could do with or without it, but at least it didn't ruin the series like so many other sequels.2. Atmosphere. +1 | The anime carried the same atmosphere of Season 1 and while we're used to it at this point, it doesn't make it any less good. 3. OST. +0.5 | I really didn't like the OP. I get why they hired Ling Tosite Sigure, as the season was focused simply on Akane and the OP's point was to explain her inner world. I still don't like it, as I think that Psycho-Pass is better as a story bigger than just one character. While this may not be the OP's fault, it still enforced that. The ED was something that could have played in Season 1 to success thoughk, I enjoyed it a lot. 4. Animation. +1 | The animation quality was great, though I wonder if it was a bit darker than Season 1 or that's just my impression. 5. Background story. +0 | Even if it served the plot's purpose I really didn't feel Season of Hell story. It somehow came off as very cheap to me. 6. Storyline. +0.5 | I didn't feel the first half of the plotline but the second part and especially the last two episodes were great. 7. Ending. +1 | An ending worthy of its series, I don't really have any complaints about it. Sybil evolved, Akane remained clear reinforcing her intentions further and the status quo didn't really change so we can continue making good stories in the same setting. 8. Drama. +0.5 | I'm giving more props to side characters like Teppei and Mika here than to Kamui's personal drama. 9. Overall affect. +0.5 | The first 6-7 episodes felt like a slough to get through, while the last few returned me to what I liked about the series. |
  |
| How Togane still survive after Kamui shot Dominator at him was plot convenient for him to give a final word which isn't necessary. Mika might become an antagonist in the future. Akane just made Sybil much worse. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I liked this season. With all the low scores for top reviews, I thought it was going to be total garbage. I mean the 184 bodies/7 brains thing was REALLY stupid, but I thought everything else was fine. Episodes 2-7 were super great. The Grandma being kidnapped by both situation was confusing at first. It made it seem like there was another huge flaw in the writing, but I think it ended up being explained well enough, just not directly. There were a lot of things this season that showed how different the beliefs between the two villains were, even though they both hade a reason to bother Akane. The fact that some of the "new" characters were shown during the riots of season 1, and the fact they made the Psychologist a primary character, to me, showed that they had a lot of thought put into this. The body/brain thing was stupid, there were some edgy moments, but besides that, I still think it's an 8. Just a low 8. I really liked it though. A lot. I look forward to watching the movies and eventually season 3 when it comes out. EDIT: Updated signature because Tinypic is shutting down.  |
