| Oh my, lovely Chief Kasei there! I don't care whose "brain" inhabits her when she's talking alone with Akane, that unique demeanor alone, Chief Kasei is Chief Kasei, nothing will ever change! :D |
| Seemed like a lot of time was spent on exposition of common sense and/or easily deduceable/predictable answers without advancing the plot much further. Not impressed with the writing either. However, I'm liking Ginoza more than the rest of the cast combined, although Akane is pretty good. Mika needs a good bitchslap LOL. My Japanese coach would f*** me up if I spoke the way she does. And who's that VA for Saiga? He was bitchin. I like this villain far more than Makashima as well. Someone mentioned the possibility of a Kougami holo in our future. I think that's very likely. Funny, after everything that happened with Maka and now Kirito's marionettes, they still don't have a dependable or even quickly deployable weapon for self defense. An inspector just got taken down by RoboFido LOL. |

| Nice episode, the show is really going well after the first episode. There are still questions about that investigator being held hostage and how it can't be tracked by Sibyl while active. I guess we will wait and see. DPXJube said: Also I dunno why everyone wants Kogami back. I like him and all but he's not the main character, Akane is. At this point I can't see how Kogami would fit in to everything without feeling like they just shoe horned him in to make people happy. We saw his story, give the guy a break. It's just fangirls dude. Nothing to take seriously. |
| So I see they altered the OP animation, about damn time! It looks neater this way. An interesting episode, lots of references to S1. Kamui is probably indeed the case where his hue is clear to the point of insanity; at least he doesn't seem to distinguish between right and wrong methods in his pursuit. Makishima, while believing his cause to be right, was perfectly aware of his own cruelty. I also wonder how is it possible to have a transparent hue, I actually thought "no color" or "clear hue" would be white. It is sort of strange to see everyone else in Division questioning/doubting Akane's sanity. Moreover Mika's jealous b!tch act is getting old tbh. I'd really like to see the connection between Chief Kasei and Togane. |
 |
| Well it's like the policial series on tv, you want to know the culprit and what's happening next so ye i'm liking it so far but i guess this case won't be like the ones in the 1st season that were solved in 3/4 episodes this will probably be longer. |
Digitalcommunist said: The opening is changing... it's like something is leaking through or hidden in the static. I went back and watched the op for episode 1 and these images are there... just barely visible. I think the OP is going to get more and more disturbing as the season progresses. Maybe it mirrors Akane's mental state? Now that would be awesome if the OP changes through the show, I really hope they do it. Also Tougane has the highest crime coefficient on record... that's makes him all the more suspicious. |
 |
| Didn't like the new episode at all. Boring. Talk, talk, so much talk - all static, without real tension. Why do they argue whether the ghost exists or not? Akane couldn't leave the first mark, so it's obvious not her going mad. People managed to fool the system in the first season too, police shouldn't be so surprised becaue of it (why would they have existed, if it had been impossible?). Things that made their setting so interesting - people worrying about their hue, inspectors being afraid to deal with criminals directly, enforcers feeling bitter because of their status - everything is sidelined. Akane doesn't think about her hue at all anymore, all of the enforcers are suddenly fine with their work, we don't see other people struggling in the system. And what's with new enfocer being "the criminallest of them all"? Chief said that they erased his data, so then his criminal coefficent is not shown correctly? Because you can check tgings like that in their world. |

| That explains why the therapist guy was in prison, also explains why there is a connection in the OP between the chief and Togane... and of course, Kamui is spreading his goal... to make people clear. |

| Holy this car is accelerating on jet fuel. Antogonist is being pretty comparable to makishima, I think his name is Kamui. He is the polar opposite to the other guy, while m wants people to raise their psycho pass, k wants to lower their psycho pass to overrun the system. Also are my eyes deceiving me or does she look like shu from guilty crown, his face looks so innocent, I can't tell the good and bad guys in this series. At least this time the antagonist doesn't start babling about metaphors that bore me That gory opening was so saw like and unnerving, main girl is still being strong as ever. The society is starting to fall apart again, this time it's now basicaly makishima times who knows how many The car is taking off |
| 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 |
| I'm digging this season so far, and I'm really not liking Mika she needs to know her place I'm wondering if this season we will be seeing Kogami? |
 |
| I didn't get why Saiga/therapist is self-incarcerated. His hue, I'm guessing. But Sybil/Akane needs him, not the other way around. He can either give them the finger, or force Sybil to release him as a consultant at $1000/hr. I must be forgetting something from S1... |

You're forgetting the part where Sybil is a totalitarian system and if they say his crime coefficient is too high he will be incarcerated (like he is right now). |
| Are these people completely helpless without their guns? Whats the matter, Risa? Youre a police officer, you cant overpower some old dude and his AIBO? |
| Damn this show is boring. The beginning of this ep was the first time I got excited for a while. All these scans and 'WTF ONLY 20 HUE' are getting lame. |
| Togane is getting more creepier by the second. Mika is annoying but I feel like I get where she's coming from.. also Risa's story with the Enforcer could have been done better flow-wise. It had some awkward placements here in there. Still, Kirito is interesting. I guess he's different from Makishima who set out to destroy the system who refused to accept/notice him wheras Kirito doesn't even want to exist?? Clear enough to be invisible? They're kind of contrasting characters. I don't remember much in S1 tho. |
| Mika seems to be very jealous . Her ways of doing justice is right not the way Akane is. Tougane has the highest number ?! Oh shit and he's encouraging Akane to go on with the case. Ahhh and Gino seems to be concern to not go in deeper. That scene when Tougane said " it will take more that this to cloud her hue" I'm like dude what the hell ,just because your clouded don't drag her to it. I got mad. I got the WC wrong, I thought it was White Color but they said it was What color? Kirito seems way different then Makishima. I like him though . Why do I I think what Kirito did too Shisui was hot?! The lips part was like woah dude .... |

You're forgetting the part where Sybil is a totalitarian system and if they say his crime coefficient is too high he will be incarcerated (like he is right now). Well...obviously. But that hardly addresses his motives. Perhaps I should have asked, "why is he cooperating?" He's holding all the cards. I gather he's doing this out of generosity to Akane (a la Silence of the Lambs), otherwise he could just tell Sybil to go F*** itself. And I don't recall Chief/Sybil employing torture measures either. Then again, I wouldn't put it past them. It's minor point, but one that left me somewhat perplexed. Or maybe it's just that I like Saiga's character. Most likely ;-) |
DouluoOct 24, 2014 1:05 PM
| I'm so sorry for Shusei's eye and that robotic arm reminded me of FMA that being said I'm still wondering where Kogami is |
 |
| Kamui really exists, it seems that only Akane believe in this It seems to me that this such a Tougane is involved with all that is happening, Mika continues to act like an idiot and Ginoza increasingly pareceido with his father I've had the impression that something bad would happen to Aoyanagi inspector when she said goodbye to Ginoza But I still think the lack Kogami in this series .. |
  |
| so the villain uses pleasure to clear your hue hmmm that's cool |
 |
| Well, it looks like Kirito is done with VRMMORPGs and is now resorting to a life of crime. Also, it seems kind of suspicious that the Chief wants Akane to keep an eye on that new inspector. Could it be that |
| La familia es todo. |
| Rawr~~ Thrilling as ever, Psycho-Pass giving me some cool type of chills. :3 So, more and more people are relaying on Kamui to make there Hue clearer huh? o-o Uh-oh, this isn't good. It's gonna end up like in last season when those stupid people in Helmets started making chaos cause those Helmets protected them from the security cameras. xD |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I thought I'd never dislike a character in this series more than I dislike Akane.......then I met Mika. |
| I'm confused on when Risa killed an enforcer etc and why Ginoza has a robotic arm. Feels like all the inspectors are blending together too many characters all at once. Still decent, 4/5 |
Qans said: I'm confused on when Risa killed an enforcer etc and why Ginoza has a robotic arm. Feels like all the inspectors are blending together too many characters all at once. Still decent, 4/5 First was during the riots and the second when Ginoza freed himself in PP1 ep21. Risa mentioned she helped Kougami get 'out/escape' or something to that effect, if I heard it right. Anyone know to what she was referring? Can't find that backstory... |

| LOL talk about gotcha bitch moment. Assistant-chan is still annoying the fuck out of me. hope she implodes in the next episode. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
Malfegor said: Are these people completely helpless without their guns? Whats the matter, Risa? Youre a police officer, you cant overpower some old dude and his AIBO? Er...if she was tackled by that little robot, her gun taken, the old guy doing Kamui style and pointing HER OWN GUN at herself, and her Crime Coefficient rising enough to enable TRANQUILIZER, and he shot her, she would be deeply unconscious? Or since they're in a pharmacy, he got her in some meds or what? Or that robot thing had something done to her? There are a lot of possibilities. Besides, she might have gone through some shock. There are people who freeze when they're shocked, and couldn't react immediately. This seems a situation that doesn't happen to her everyday. |

Szadek23 said: Well,that was a lot of exposition.At least the different shots and angles kept it somewhat interesting. At this point I have to say that I think the anime introduced the main villain too early. It would have been better if he had time to learn more about these new characters. The anime only has 11 episodes, and with the way they rush things i conclude with season 2 not getting a part 2(as in +11/12 episodes more next spring/fall). So basically the plot has to be rushed a little, and there is to little time to get to know all the characters. I think the only character that will be the highlight of the anime is Tougane... |

Thats where Risa was working and they all basically let him leave even though they knew hed be going after him. It was around ep 17-18 of the first season I believe |

| I believe due to the opening that Tougane has split personality, as it would also explain the reason he's so collected, because as you mentioned no one can get that well structured after having the highest PP ever. Might be that there is some kind of experiment, but as in creating some kind of personality that is not his own(i base this of the similarity between him and Kougami. Maybe he has Kougami's personality? to keep Akane's Hue in check?). |
| Besides Akane, Tougane is the most interesting character so far. High crime coefficient in history? Excited for what can come out of that. |

HuaXue said: Besides Akane, Tougane is the most interesting character so far. High crime coefficient in history? Excited for what can come out of that. There's never been anything interesting about Akane but besides that yeah curious to see how Togane will turn out |
| Reading these comments I feel like I must be watching a different Psycho Pass 2 than the rest of you... Kamui is sensual, charismatic? How do you get that? He's shown nothing sensual in the few seconds we've seen him so far, and we've definitely not seen enough of him to see any charisma. People believe in him, that doesn't equal charisma- he could have drugged them, brainwashed them, or both. I am of the mind that he drugged idiot inspector lady to bring her PP down, because if anything having a psycho who kidnapped you, killed your enforcer, and cut out your eye sitting on your lap talking to you like a child is going to make your PP go up NOT down. I've also seen a couple of people mention how the events of S1 seem to be completely erased from everyone's memory, I feel the same way. But, since some people have tried to give bad explanations for this... Here we go... So, Makishima was in the system. They knew what he looked like and who he was, that doesn't change the fact that he could slice an innocent woman's throat in plain view of an inspector pointing a dominator at him and his PP not go up even a bit. He was teaching people how to murder and create anarchy without their hue getting even a little cloudy. Sound familiar yet? This Kirito guy is basically a cheap copy, but instead of creating anarchy to show that his hue doesn't change he's taking people who's hues have changed and bringing them back down. All the while the inspectors and the sybil system are acting like nothing like this has ever happened before, even though it happened almost 2 years prior to the setting of this story and almost took sybil down with it when it did. Now, I do have to admit that this episode was much better than the first two. I was actually able to enjoy most of this episode, but I just could not enjoy the entire episode because of the really shitty Hamatora writer screwing everything up. Mika is a waste of screen time, the plot is a cheap copy of S1 blended with an almost identical concept as was used in S1 of Hamatora, and the entire fucking planet seems to have completely forgotten what happened in PP- the chaos in the streets, the techno-helmets that copied PP values, Makishima's ability to teach others how to commit evil and cause chaos without his or their own PP getting the slightest bit cloudy. And don't get me started on the stupid WC? crap... Anywho, considering I was able to enjoy most of this episode and it presented better story value than the previous two- I'll give this one a 5/10. |

| One word: Drugs Wasn't it mentioned that Tougane's family has a large ownership interest in the pharmaceutical that allegedly brings PP's down? Seems to me Kirito would be their natural bedfellow and experimental scientist. This would explain Sibyl's concern about Kougane's potential for subversion. But then why would he encourage Akane to continue the case? Cover? |
skudoops said: I don't really understand the missing inspector investigation part of this show right now. In episode 2 they said they could track her using GPS although "It comes and goes" and that her dominator was online all that time but dominators are connected to the sibly system, why can't it track where she is exactly? Why is she still missing? If that dude was jamming communications then how was the dominator still online and connected to sibly? Also why wasn't there a log of the fluctuations of the inspector's hue? It can't be said that the sibly system and/or dominator doesn't take logs of this because they obviously took one to know that togane has the highest crime coefficient and the system also logs dominator usage. A record of those fluctuations would have obviously raised some red flags... so why didn't they? Also why the hell does it feel like everyone in this show forgot the events of season 1? When akane asked the chief that question I don't know if she meant a person who under normal circumstances is not recognized by the sibly system or not but did she forget that she worked on a case that had people not being recognized by the system through technology? Yes and no, he previous system had a person who could commit crimes with a clear psycho-pass but he was sill picked up by the system (had a crime coefficient and was known to exist) Those who knew about this fault in the system were restricted by being killed or put on a gag order, so it's possibility is not disclosed to any new characters. Plus the villain last time (as far as we know) was born with a sociopath's psycho-pass and has always been able to commit crimes with a clear psycho pass. This is very different than clearly mentally disturbed and stressed ordinary individuals having psycho passes that change so low and can be low when committing a crime. It is like a virus (or person) that creates intermittent sociopaths popped up. This new villain is also unique because his very existence is a question. For example, if a person with a psycho-pass of 13 came into the inspectors bedroom and wrote on the walls security would have logs even if it would not set off alarms. Also, unlike the last guy who gave people helmets that copied other's psycho-pass, this guy appears to actually alter their psycho-pass. So they cannot have their helmets forcibly removed and then have the system pass judgment. |

| Great episode! |
 |
| From 4chan take it how you will "The moment you deliver any form of justice without the dominator in your hand as you do it, you are committing a criminal act and sybil judges you as one. Akane was under this impression so she held the shotgun in one hand and the dominator in the other. She gets proved wrong when Makishima slits Yuki's throat in front of her. I have all the novel trivia and spoilers so I'll try to keep an eye on PP threads and clear up confusion where I can. Like another thing is that anons are like "Akane is perfect and never has mental health issues". She is hallucinating Kagari, Masaoka and Yuki at the end of the novel for her entire workday. It's implied she sees all of them constantly, except Kogami because she pictures him on a boat." |
| On the Psycho-Pass wiki, Risa Aoyanagi's occupation is "Punching Bag" xD :D Nice ep. Good that the psychologist from S1 is back. |
| This Mika girl is so annoying.... Anyway good episode. So Kamui Korito was it right? Kamui from KLK and Kirito from SAO? Gehe whenever I hear that name I'll be thinking those two.... The way Kirito cleared that inspector's Hue was pretty nice. Ghosts Ghosts Ghosts!!! Who wrote the WC in Akane's room? Was it her ir it was sb else Oo? I miss you Kogami! Where are you? The show isn't the same w/o you! I can't complain though. Akane is doing good job. Now that new enforcer...who is he I pretty confused. I jave a small theory though for him. |

Shes with the police, this seems like exactly the kind of situation that happens to her everyday and that she should be trained to deal with. Thats why so many of them do martial arts exercises, which has been repeatedly shown in this very series. Or should at least thats what they should do, in order to be able to defend themselves without the Dominator. You dont want a police officer freezing during tense situations, thats not a trait they should ever have. Im gonna go ahead and assume there might be some truth to tysonultima's comment above, that any form of justice delivered without a Dominator in hand might be considered a crime. Though it still seems a bit bullshit that self defense counts as this. |
| Reading some of the people thoughts on this new season and they be like: "Oh this is not as good as season 1." "This season sucks without Kogami" and crap stuff like that. For crying out loud,we have only been blessed with 3 eps right now. I know a lot of shit has gone down.the scriptwriter and the studio being changed. People should be thankful that we are even getting a second season for this anime and it's not that bad as people are making it out to be. And then they are those same people who bitch about not getting a second season. Make up your minds already! -_- |
 |
| So far im enjoying this more than the starting eps of s1,gonna be honest. |
 |
| The show is still enjoyable, but the episode was fairly dull in my opinion. There was a lot of build-up for a final minute where they made a huge cliff hanger, I really dislike these kinds of episodes in on-going series ;_;. So once again there are two camps, the horrible system which controls and enslaves human thought, and a dude who tries to fight the system using a loophole. Sadly, just like in the previous series, the resisting party is using violence and crazy people, and I can't really accept it. It kind of feels like a repeat of the first season, but it's too early to say anything. I just hope that a third party appears that will be a bit more acceptable for me so that I can finally root for someone in this damn series. I'm pretty sure Tsunemori won't independently oppose the Sybil system, but perhaps she will change sides at some point. Well to be fair I'm probably missing a lot of details, and I don't entirely remember the first season. Btw this new inspector really pisses me off with her arrogance, I can only see bad things happening to her in the future. |
| [b]Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. |
| Why can't I help but pity Aoyanagi-san? She just happens to get involved and injured all the time. Like some punching bag. Anyways, I would really want the following episodes to impress me. As much as I have high expectations for this anime, it really stands out from the rest as being something excellent and unique. As a fan of science fiction philosophy, I'd like to see more of Psycho Pass. |
