| I don't like the new characters Season 2 is better in my opinion |
| That was a really impressive first episode. Liking the new characters so far. Can't wait to see more of Akane and that Ginoza cameo at the end was really great. I'm only expecting the old team to team up once again sometime in the future episodes. |
| That was an overrated dragged and drawn-out 46 minutes. Cock-teasing with Akane doesn't help. With Akane removed there just isn't anything special about this show anymore. This has got to be literally the 3rd time I've watched the same episode now: season 1 episode 1, season 2 episode 1 and now season 3 episode 1. Nothings been changed up at all. The episodes and/or introductions are almost fucking parallel. Adding some form of ESP to a detective's character feels tropey and overdone not to mention the lazy writing that can be solved due to it occurring. But god forbid he uses it too much because his Psycho-Pass will go too high. How many times have we seen this before and how much longer are we going to settle for less? This sucks. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| I had high hopes but was very disappointed. The overall plot seemed confused with the bad guys reuniting to plot, give me a break. Some guy died, and it involved a company and loans, sooo exciting... reference to the subprime mortgage crisis? The enforcer shooting on a refugee was just absurd, and the fight of Kei Mikhail with the two immigrants absolutely non-necessary... Just use your dominator idiot! I get it that they were not in an official mission and could not use dominators, but the scene felt forced just to put some bad-ass fight (from today's standard, just an average one, and the enforcer needs to say that it was cool: "O-migoto desu."). The global pace felt weak in my opinion. Psycho-Pass managed in one episode to introduce a whole universe, and anime like Death Note or Geass Geass are other good examples of fast plot development in just the first two or three episodes, but I think that this double-episode failed to do so (and it was building on 33 episodes and 4 movies!). So they just gave to Arata super powers to make him a decent character (mentalist pseudo-science trash). Come back Kougami! I guess that Yayoi may have joined Akane in her protest and is hiding somewhere. Hope that we will see Ginoza soon too, he had one of the best character developments of the whole series. Mika improved (her haircut too!) quite a lot, and seems like a more likable character. Interesting to see that the Psycho-Pass of Akane was not made public (so it is certainly below 100 as usual, although she may represent a threat to the very existence of Sybil) when she was arrested (we only heard it in a dream of Arata, but it is certainly true). |
| VERY bold of them to start of the season like this, with Akane like that. Maybe stupid too, but I guess only time will tell that. Some of the biggest complaints with the last season though were with the complete lack of Kougami, and the focus on the new characters rather than the ones we actually love... And you would have thought that they'd have focused at least a bit on whatever happened in the past within those three precursor movies they just released.. Can't really judge it until I see more though! I'm definitely liking this 45 minute format at least. And the new characters don't seem too bad either (minus that one magical "ability"... :P). I have a feeling the second half of this season is going to be very different from the first half though. They gotta bring Kougami and the others back, right? (as that is what those 3 SS case movies were for--further fleshing many of them out and setting certain things up). And explore what that blonde lady from the other ministry was hinting about in those films, about the "big change that's coming" (to paraphrase badly) concerning the country's situation with Sybil? I feel whatever the mystery with these two is about will serve to lead into that. Also, really like the OP! So that's something good too. |

| Arata are you my spirit animal? I thourally enjoyed this episode, Just hope the rest of this is just as good and/or better |
 |
| A strong start to the season, but visually and thematically. The time skip concept was unexpected but cool, and I wonder how long over the 8 episode season it'll take before we fully uncover the whole story so far. Hopefully, it isn't revealed totally until later on. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| This is a much stronger start than season 2, I'm glad its finding its own identity rather than trying to replicate the tone of season 1 and failing. Even the villain(s) seem dramatically different than makshima and kirito so that alone is a good omen for the rest of this season at least standing on its own. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I am really enjoying this so far. The new characters are very interesting. I like that they're not complete newbies. We have a mentalist and the other one is just a mature officer in general. They already know each other and work well so we won't see too much arguing. |
| Thread cleaned Do not ask where to watch or ask for subs / when subs will be released. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for episode itself it wasn't bad. I don't think it'll achieve quality of season 1 but it doesn't have the feeling of season 2 either. A bit sad that Tsunemori was only teased there, I she will become plot relevant later on. New inspectors/enforcers lack character, especially in comparisson to S1 but there's time to get to like them. We'll see. |
 |
| Really good episode, and super interested in seeing how Sinners of the System 3 relates to this season since that was definitely my favourite entry in the franchise since season 1 (and I loved all the characters in it). Questioning where exactly Akane is and what everyone else is doing, but that'll come in later episodes (also why the red-haired enforcer is the only one there). Glad to see Shimotsuki getting more development, honestly even tho she had a rough start in the second season, since then she's grown on me a lot (yuri ftw). The new characters are sorta interesting, although I'm not sure from what Akane said at the end whether they'll end up as protagonists, antagonists, or somewhere in between (could be left to interpretation for now with how it's framed). Also curious as to if the new guy's sleep habits are related to his 'powers', and what the deal is with those since this series is sci-fi and not supernatural. I also wonder if their solution to those two dads was in regulation or not. The art, animation, and pacing were all great; I'm especially happy with the pacing since Babylon, which has already been compared to Psycho-Pass, feels fast and would honestly benefit from a long run-time like this. Looking forward to seeing more, 5/5 |
 |
| I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. Arata is a pretty refreshing protagonist, his amiability and capacity to emathize really shows, though his trace thing is a little too wacky for PP's established realism. Maybe it'd have a more grounded explanation afterwards, we'll see. Kei also seems interesting, from what we've seen of him at least. What were these guys called Bifrost doing? It was a little over my head. Economics isn't my forte so I'll assume something like real-life Monopoly but legally questionable. |
 |
| Akane is arrested, nooooo :( New cast except for Karanomori, Hinakawa, Ginoza and Mika. I wonder what happened to Yayoi, Kougami and Teppei Sugou. Kazumichi Irie, the new enforcer, and the new two inspectors look hot as fuck. The pacing is good cuz its 45 min. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Recognized Major Kusanagi and Batou’s VAs almost immediately ! I love how this is basically a new age SAC....let’s see if it delivers As far as the first episode goes, a lot of different moving parts and players... which made it difficult to follow at times . For instance, the game mechanic with Bifrost trio, the First and Seven inspector baddies, this new mentalist schtick with that wolf imagery, Kisaragi pocketing Koichi Azusawa’s business card with the wolf logo on the back(possible connection?), and the whole mystery behind the incident that made Akane an Ex-Inspector and Mika to chief Inspector. Hopefully, the next episodes offer more clarity. I was beginning to think Akane and Ginoza would not be getting much screentime, so the ending was a nice touch. Looks like they are doing their own thing which Mika acknowledges. Hopefully, we get Kogami joining soon too. Really interested in the Akane imprisonment though, but I don’t see her staying there permanently (fingers crossed*) So far, not bad... on to the next one! |

| What a disapointment Akane can't be arrested because her hue is always clear Mc has now esp powers, you may argue that the visuals were artsy and symbolic but he discovered too much stuff wtf Russian guy gets in a fight just for show, he even had the time to unzip his jacket. Dude, just act like a policeman! Mika as a boss is kinda cute, annoying as ever but she's good for this story The enforcers are so so In conclusion, it was garbage compared to PP1 but opinions can change |
    |
| I bet there's a good reason for the original crew to be missing, but it's still to accept that we'll have to suffer through Mika's leadership for a whole season. I'll give this episode a 5 because of Ginoza's appearance in the end, if was killed died off-screen, I'd never give this season a good score. |
  |
| Interesting new duo, looking forward to it |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Season 1 episode 1: Rainy Season 3 episode 1: Rainy At this rate I'm supporting the villain to make some revolutionary changes. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| WTF so aside from the Silby System, there is an underground system that them rich used to get around????? So that Bitch Shimotsuki is now chief, too bad cu'z she more like the system's bitch than a leader. |
| This is pretty cool so far but it's Production IG, so they're trying to live up to GITSSAC1. However, I'm pretty cool with them even trying. The main powers of the sleepy guy are neat and he's haunted by a demon. Pretty good cyberpunky noirish show so far which is exactly what I always want. I see the writing trying to weave in and out...I suppose the lead of the team, the girl had me feeling a bit off. And then I thought the weak antag was gay so then he's an evil gay...but then the guy betrays him and he dies. The writing as usual with PP is all over the place, nothing has changed. I like that the old characters from previous series seem to be in here too. Overall I'm interested, the 45 mins structure makes writing every ep a unique challenge so I have no idea what's going to happen. Also I never watched PPS2 so I hope that's okay. |
| Definitely intrigued first up, much like Season 1 and Season 2. Arata's "tracing" ability seems quite formidable and the demon beside him quite interesting as well. Is that some kind of a drawback to the quirk? I wonder who that "father" is too. Judging by Akane's monologue in the end there, she seems to have quite the positive impression of the two. "The unseen enemy", hmm. Op suggests she's behind bars but that's not possible, right? Ginoza with a short cameo in the end there too, I wonder who he is working under now. I hope they'll get more screentime and be plot-relevant in the coming episode along with Kougami. New Enforcers, on first glance, don't seem as interesting as those in the past two seasons. Hopefully, they'll grow in time though. Meanwhile, Mika as leader could take some time to acclimatize lol. She's still the hot-headed, arrogant and "ideal" citizen. Stylist Op and a really good ED theme song. Definitely feels similar to the previous Ops and EDs. Looking forward to more, surely! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Shion!!! So nice to see her, I hope we see Yayoi as well. |
 |
| I was expecting some Kougami tease, but I guess I still have 7 episodes left in store. I love the opening's visuals, but the song did not click, hopefully it's one of those growers. The ending song, however, was mesmerizing. |
| I don't remember a lot from the previous 2 seasons but this was an interesting start. Figured we'd see Kogami again but maybe later. The whole mentalist stuff seems a bit insane but who am I to judge a futuristic setting :D Didn't expect to see Mika as the new Chief though. |
 |
| Honestly I really liked everything except the stupid mentalist stuff. That doesn’t fit into the world of PP IMO, it reminds me too much of the s2 stuff with clearing people’s Hues magically. Also the animation feels a little... off? Idk, like too much CGI? That can be forgiven tho I’m very excited about everything else tho, like to find out what’s happened since the last movie! So many changes in characters roles (Akane, Mika, Gino) it will be fun to try to piece it together |

| 2120.Nov 3 years after Case 3. WTF! Akane narrating. Who are they? Akane! WTF! She's locked up? He fell out. I'm happy. Dat radio. His first day. Arata. This is not the beginning I expected coming off of Case 3. This is set exactly 3 years after it (2117. Nov - 2120. Nov). How do you hype up the return of the GOAT and then do a 3 year time skip? Kougami is 36 now. And what happened to the OG's plus Sugou? Are they with Frederica? With that said... WTF happened to Ling Tosite Sigure and EGOIST? Why did they not return? The OP is inferior and the ED is ok and catchy. The start was strange to watch (considering) but it got good as the episode progressed. Happy to see Kougami in the OP and ED. Happy the waifu Frederica appeared in the ED. Interesting that Arata is 4 years younger than Akane but it took him 4 extra years to be an Inspector. Yonekura's birthday is the same as Akane's, but in the ED theme, they have it as 10.31. I think the birthday's in the ED theme (aside from Kougami) are different than what is shown in this episode. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| This has nothing to do with Psycho-Pass anymore |
 |
| lol this was long, didn't understood why it didn't end in 20min. on another thought though, i hardly felt that, which making what i saw just now better than s2 lol. felt that the mentalist ability came out of nowhere and honestly little OP. i do wonder, but sure of it, that the more this season continues, the more we will know about why akane got arrested. so, so far it's fairly good. |
| Can't say I'm terribly impressed but the themes (immigration, housing) are interesting. The OP and ED are so-so. The OP aims for a noir feel but reproduces a shounen feeling, honestly. I'm skeptical about the Mentalist thing but let's see. I wonder how the girl from MFA and Kougami fit into this. |
| Strange episode. Arata's "ability" is just... They basically took the already hyperbolized empathy ability of Graham from Hannibal TV-series and made it in to the pure magic. If it's somehow connected to Sybil, good. If not, then writers don't understand the show. Although I am intrigued to see how they will play out the pieces they have arranged. |

| Visuals are amazing here, but I'll have to get used to the new characters. The exaggerated expressions, reactions and personalities make it seem like this season is really trying to push a humorous tone. It's jarring to me. Also, Arata literally has magic powers that allow him to visualise the exact events that transpired in someone's past? How does that relate to Sybil? |

| It was a lot to handle Akane's locked up at the beginning of the show cause I don't like Mika at all since Akane's Grandmother incident. I was kinda looking forward to Akane and Kougami's reunion since he said he is COMING BACK HOMEEEEEEE. Anyways the new inspectors was a "eehh" at first and towards the end is was like "ohhh" cause Akane my girl planned for those two. Overall, ep1 is good. I LIKE IT PICASSIO!' |
My candies :     Bonus:  |
| Don't even know where to start when trying to describe how bad this first episode was. This was supposed to be a world where people are assigned jobs based on their suitability for the role and ability to uphold Sybil's values, and yet immediately we are introduced to an inspector who doesn't care about latent criminals, and two enforcers who actively seek to hinder their superiors and behave in ways that are psychologically damaging to the civilians they are working with. All of the characters are behaving like goofy light novel cut-outs and one of them appears to have superpowers. There is absolutely no hook to the story whatsoever, just people talking about stocks and immigration, with the occasional scene of Mysterious People sitting in a Mysterious Room having Mysterious Conversations... I'm sorry but this is such utter shit. Compare this to how immediately engaging both the characters and story were in the original Psycho-Pass and this looks like a bad joke. Will probably force myself to watch all of this but I am expecting it to be punishingly dull and stupid. |
