| The new OP is catchy but I don't think the animation for the OP is as great as "Out of Control" from the first season. Also I have so many questions, WHERE DID ALL THE GOOD CHARACTERS GO LIKE GINOZA, YAYOI, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHERES AKANE??? I MISS HERRRRRR Also I still can't bring myself to like Shimotsuki even now, I just can't like her at all. |

| Well, I guess this episode was just OK. Maybe I was too much hyped as season 1 is still firmly in my top 10 all time, but there is some angst and mixed feelings in me how this will all turn out. So far my impressions: - lead characters seem solid and there may be some interesting dynamics brewing, the pairing of a stoic reasonable inspector with a chaotic savant type might be fun; also these two trigger happy enforcers will make some mess so it's good; the antagonist also looks promising - plot and pacing felt a little forced - maybe because we don't know much about MCs so it gave a very generic vibe (police inspectors doing police things and going against orders as they always do) - art is nice as I love the bleak and glitchy theme of this series - animation is up and down, sometimes it's great (omg look at the hair of characters aren't they gorgeous) and at some moments it's just lazy and uninspiring - CGI is mostly bad, holos and gun UI are ok I guess, but the cars and drones are freakin ugly - the mentalist skills of one of the inspectors is a red flag for me, could spell some OP abilities and bad plot twists/shortcuts, we'll see how they use it - music is just OK, as are opening and ending, nothing special IMO - I like the 45 min format, this is so much better than short episodes for a mystery thriller genre So in the end it's too early to judge, we'll have to wait and see. I'm just happy to have Shion back as her sex appeal and overall coolness factor alone will make me watch it to the end ;) |
| Did I miss something? Since when did PP become the Buddy Cop film with a screaming cop boss in the person of Mika? |
 |
| No Ginoza, No Tsunemori, No Kogami as mains. Mika is there and wasn't impressed with the new duo. It won't be hard to this to be better than season 2 but based just on this episode alone seems like the first season will be the best part of this franchise. |

moldbreaker said: Is nobody going to comment about how the new inspectors seem like a 'what if' Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham were inspectors? No, we were expecting you to do it. |
|
| Mmm... are the movies correlates to this series? |
 |
| I feel lost even though i watched the first season and the last psycho pass film, however, their cgi is at its finest. Also, they teased us with Akane in the end at some apartment(?), but in the beggining she was imprisoned and confined like she was in a high security prison.. now i really dont have a clue about what the fuck is happenin. Not to forget, these new characters seem really attached to each other, right? A bromance is growing.. |

| Well, nah, not classy enough. And a knockoff Will from Hannibal doesn't really suit the setting (not to mention that he lacks Will's autism, which set him apart a bit, and the black buck looked way more interesting than the monster here). |
| So it's back with a long episode awesome. The lore and World building is still amazing. Shion still a hottie lol. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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! |
