| The memory scoop sequence was perfectly directed. On that note:  Oh, shit. |
| This show really does just get better and better as it goes. But i have a feeling there is going to be an internal strife a the end of the anime vs sybil. |
KamiKali said: Thanks for t heads up.. the cyborg part perfectly fits on what was my thought in the last minute Kittybear29 said: idk she had facial expression just like that chairman dude Kogami busted in ep11.And I have to agree with that theory about that woman being a cyborg/robot, that was just creepy at the end. Maybe Sibyl is an AI and she's Sibyl?(Bad theory, but calling it! :P) At the end it seemed like she was connected the computer in some way. Actually I suspect that Sibyl is an AI as well. The very first ep intro where Kogami had a face-off with Makishima (I suspect that's where Sibyl is located) very much reminded me of location of VIKI from I, Robot. Just a hunch o,o And speaking about movies and books, it's evident that Psycho-Pass is strongly influenced by Philip K. Dick's creations, Minority Report above all. Does anyone else think that the dialogue between Ginoza and bureau chief strongly reminds that of Anderton and Dr. Iris Hineman where she explains how Pre-crime works and that it's sustained by people's belief in its perfection?? |
 |
| Haha, kogami was reading HoD. Btw whos that kid with the brown hair? And the old lady seems sketchy. My guess is that sibyl will get demolished/destroyed at the end of the series. How did Ginoza's mom die? Gino mentioned that the Dad brought Gino and the Mom down, along with himself. Akane's a pretty strong lady. I wonder if the only way her crime coefficient turns red is when she has hot, rough, sexual intercourse with Kogami. Lol. |

| It feels like that Akane is one of the 2 million people who's psycho-pass don't go up, same as Makishima. |

Danielcook said: Btw whos that kid with the brown hair? Touma Kozaburou - the guy behind the case in which Sasayama died (with the help of Shogo, of course, that b@stard xD). Rewatch episode 6. |
Nachtwandler_21 said: People you make me think that most users here has intellect of average citizen of US. It was obvious that Masaomi is Ginoza's dad as soon as they mentioned his family situation. You could be less aggressive, but okay. Anyway, I started feeling this some weeks ago and when the family issues were revelated I was almost sure. Ferras said: Some seriously good stuff here 5/5 But I found ridiculous the flashbacks. Why do directors of all shows decide that flashbacks have to be painful, produce headaches, vomit and such? meehhh -_- This was not about trivial flashbacks. Akane was reviving a traumatizing experience. Also, the visual direction made a great point of how she blames herself for the tragedy that happened (just look how Yuki face mixed with Shogo statements in the flashbacks). As @Harukomatsu stated, a perfectly directed sequence. --- Anyway, 9/10 episode. Great dialogues, and seems like Gino will get more development too. I'm in love with this show. |

| What? He's his dad? Never expected that! And I really love Supercell's ending song! :) I was going to point out how the scenery really fit the ending until the woman appears with really really weird facial expression... She feels so like a robot. |

| I was right with the Ginoza/Tomomi relationship :OOO Well, he did care for him in previous episodes. Great ep though :D |
| Masoaka is Ginoza's father eh? No wonder they seemed really close. I really like how Kougami respects Akane very highly now. Go Akane! :D Whoaaaa that woman at the end of the episode. That was pretty creepy. Great episode overall. |
 |
| Another thing that bugged me is that no one eveb acknowledged the cyborg guy dying, he's the head of a large robotics engineering company. What's up with that? |
Danielcook said: Another thing that bugged me is that no one eveb acknowledged the cyborg guy dying, he's the head of a large robotics engineering company. What's up with that? Why is that important to the story, though? |
| Well there's the confirmation between the relationship between Ginoza and Masaoka. Father and Son. Seeing that revelation made me happy because they dropped subtle clues earlier that actually made the viewer hypothesize and if they were smart enough they were able to connect the dots. Their conversation about what it means to live and be part of society revealed many things about Ginoza, Masaoka, and even Akane. When they said that Akane accepts the society she lives in and what it stands for, I felt a mixture of sadness but intrigue at the same time. Sadness because since she was born into the Sibyl system she has never known what it was like to live in a society where you can make your own choices and receive your own consequences as a result of it. I was also intrigued because that means if society gets rid of the system in the future where will that leave her. This topic also extends to Masaoka nicely where the reason he became an Enforcer was because he didn't like the idea of a VI if something is right or not, he didn't accept the society he was in until it was too late. That old lady Ginoza talked to was very ominous and had that uneasy feeling to the conversation. I was surprised at how calm she was looking upon the case at first only to realize Shogo Makishima isn't the first in this type of case. They've had this happen before and when they do the MWPSB causes these type of people to "disappear" as to not disturb the peace in society that is at an all time high thanks to Sibyl. I wonder if she has a personal vendetta or connection to him based on that ending |

Why is that important to the story, though? I thought he was supposed to be a major antagonist or something. There was something interesting/cool about his character. The fact that he seeks something with greater meaning, something that makes him feel more of a fundamental human. With a society built like that, its hard to feel that way about yourself, and also experience the thrill of the hunt. I thought someone had an artificial copy of his mind in a program stored somewhere and they were going to rebuild him Or maybe a plot twist occurs, where he has mulitple android copies of himself, and the one that Kogami destroyed was just one of many copies of himself. |
| nice twist with ginoza and masaoka, father and son i never really had that idea cross my mind, even with all the subtle hinting from previous episodes (although i was probably paying more attention to the main plot and action xD) what's up with the old lady at the end? kinda creepy... something tells me she's probably related to makishima, "shougo-kun", similar hair color this show gets more interesting every week i still hope they finish yayoi's backstory from last week. that plotline was pretty good |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| So the old man was Gin's father. That was a pretty interesting development. It screams out: father giving up his life to protect/save his son in the final battle to me. I suspect Shogo to be part of some experimental and/or development team for the Sibyl system and has some secret the higher ups don't want coming to light. Also Akane might have the same 'condition' as Shogo, in that her PP can never get clouded. Will that mean she will have to be made to disappear? Either way, with Gen at the helm of this anime, I'm not expecting a satisfactory ending that I will like and rate high, but as it stands right now, this anime has gotten really good and I'm really enjoying it. The wait is on for episode 14 now. Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 |

He felt like a Disc One Final Boss to me. The end of the first cour was the natural point to end his story and refocus on Makishima. |

Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 You know how they were talking about how the sibyl computer was still developing, as it only brings the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest amount of people? Well, i was thinking that maybe Makashima is actually one of those people associated with sibyl, and is testing the system to see if it is actually efficient in the job that it is supposed to do, bring happiness/well-being to the majority of the people. If they catch him alive , then he disappears like the other d00d, and improvements will be made to the system, which will be applied from the feedback regarding the case, etc. Its a never ending process, and constantly getting better, so theres always room for improvement, and theres the fact that there will never be a utopia. Makashima's bio: It could be that years back, they found out about people having the crime coefficient immunity condition and this brought the sibyl employees concern. So they decided to find one of these kinds of people, and they found makashima, who was a baby back then. He probably spent most of his whole life in a sibyl facility. |

The bio you came up with is exactly along the lines I was thinking. He was probably a test subject along with the other dude in some secret experiment for the sibyl system. My guess is that the sibyl is basically rigged or geared towards keeping certain people down and others in power and basically has the world in a somewhat master and slave dance. This would explain why Shogo is trying to find out what he really is, since according to what he grew up believing was that one such as him, cannot exist. |

| Great episode. It was quite surprising he was his dad and i think that woman is related to makishima, she sits in the chair before with her eyes shaking and that is usually used to show fear or shock. Can't wait for it to really get deep into the hunt for makishima, perhaps they will go old school and shotgun his head in ^_^ Theory about him being a tester is a good idea :) Woman is suspicious, she is clearly bad in some way xD can't get enough of this show. It keeps me excited throughout even without action, that episode was all talking but i loved it and was intently reading/listening the whole time. A well written show ine very aspect. When the real meat of the show does hit with hunting/fighting makishima it is going to be so exciting and amazing i think :) only a couple months to go now :P |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |

Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Best episode in quite some time. Definitely shat on that last episode. lmao. |

Why is that important to the story, though? Senguji's house (apparently) being above the execution ground is enough to make an investigation if you ask me. I was totally calling episode 12 would take part of it there. I mean, Oryo's head in the execution ground, Oryo's (and probably more) bones in Senguji's house and a ton of more stuff I would laugh if we see Makishima there when they obviously lured Kogami to the same place where Oryo's was killed edit: guys, what does 'kun' mean? |

| Just from the previous interactions when bringing up Kougami and how he became an enforcer, I picked up those slight hints on the Father-son relationship between Ginoza and Masaoka. So I wasn't too suprised about that reveal, I basically sensed that there would be dialogue between the two characters later in the episode when Ginoza was getting his Psycho-pass checked. As said earlier, I also reckon there is some history between Makishima and that woman at the end. Also, was that the Heart of Darkness that Kougami was reading? How fitting. It correlates with the fact that the they are going to have to abandon "civilized" life, one ruled by the Sibyl system, and delve into the Heart of Darkness, the "savage" lifestyle in order to capture Makishima. |
| I didn't figure out that Masaoka and Ginoza were father and son because I wasn't looking for it. And people shouldn't call others idiots just because they didn't figure it out sooner Anyway great episode! I'm liking Akane more and more after this episode. And creepy old woman is creepy. |
 |
| I wonder if the old creepy lady is related to makishima, they look alike and she called him *shogo-kun* Masaoka being ginoza's father wasn't surprising to me. |

| Akane was great this episode,Im so glad she improved and became stronger. Õh so the old man is Ginoza´s dad... I want Kougami to catch Shogo but I wish they blew up the sybil system cause I hate it. |

|
| Well... that Sibila system is a fraud... And that old man is Ginoza's father! =O |
| ... |
| Awesome Akane! Maybe she is also "asymptomatic".... and so the speculations before in the many previous comments that he was Gino's dad was right.. too bad I was not surprised about it now.. hehe. |
| Oh, the big reveal is there! Masaoka's Gino's dad. I think errbody saw that one coming. Akane's great. Just saying. The way she bounced back so quickly was almost out of character, but I guess she's proven herself to be pretty decent at adapting. I wish they showed her right after the incident instead of like a two-week skip. Old lady after the credits... She knows Shogo personally? She either knows him from a past incident (and has an axe to grind with him) or they might've even collaborated before... Hmm........ HMMMM... parfaited said: Danielcook said: Akane's a pretty strong lady. I wonder if the only way her crime coefficient turns red is when she has hot, rough, sexual intercourse with Kogami. Lol. ooh lawd! Thank you for typing out what i've always been thinking. I ship them. Hehehhehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehehe I ship 'em too heheheheheheheheheheh |
| Not a bad episode, although not much action this time around. Akane's memories brought back some harsh memories, I like the screenplay (right word?) during that scene, it was well done. The ending was also a twist, and I figured just as much. 4/5. |
 |
| The moment i saw the old lady some episodes (?) ago i was like ''I wonder if she have something to do with Shogo'' and here we go.Maybe shes his mother? well anyway, we will see. Akane! you strong gurl! im starting to like you more and more :D So Masaoka is Gino's father? well i did not see that coming.I thought he have something to do with his father but not be him himself.Nice. Urobucher, just don't kill everyone please >_> 5/5 gimme more. |
