| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Sakaido is apparently a "briliant detective" trying to learn the way of the world. Something I noticed about him is how he analyzes almost everything and constantly trying to learn. The most interesting part of the show is the "fragmented world" imo. Feels like this anime has a lot of strange content going on including the criminal he was tailing. So I suppose this is more of a science fiction thriller/detective series. Interesting stuff imo. The overall usage of the OST used for the first two episodes were also kinda catchy. |
 |
| You get to know more about Sakaido in the real world. First case has been solved but who is John Walker? Seems like everything is linked to him. This anime has potential I think, very unique in it's genre. |
 |
| Okay, I'm hooked. I also got some heavy Unlimited "Drill" Works feels from this episode, hah. Great episode. |
| The second part of the special. Is Sakaido a prisoner. Now I want to learn more. From just the first two episodes, well the special, got me interested. |
 |
| This world is definitely original and interesting |
 |
Leo said: The second part of the special. Is Sakaido a prisoner. Now I want to learn more. From just the first two episodes, well the special, got me interested. Yeah, its a really interesting premise and the execution is pretty good too. I'm hooked and definitely looking forward to picking it up again come january. |

| Honest question: How do people come up with such insane premises? I wish I was this creative! Anyway, these first two episodes presented not only an interesting story but also solid animation and soundtrack. Can't wait to see the Opening and Ending next month! |
 |
| I'm hooked, hope the rest of the show can keep up this momentum. John Walker has very similar hair to the Chief although I hope it doesn't end up being him as it seems too obvious. I'm curious how Saikaido's daughter died and who he killed to end up as a prisoner. Maybe his daughter was murdered and Sakaido killed the person responsible for revenge? Also looking forward to seeing what the other 'wells' are like from the future killers. I wonder if Sakaido could go into his own 'well' or if that's impossible. |
   |
| i like that it will have all kinds of weird "wells". this one was all broken up, with him swinging around on his broken up hand, the other ones will have something else. that's pretty cool as for the premise, it seems people have connected this to psycho-pass, i can see it vaguely in the gun itself. the machine seems to remind me the Cerebro machine from the X-Men where you can infiltrate one's mind, on distance even, and do all sorts of stuff definitely will continue watching this one |
 |
| Ok so this had a lot to unpack and grapple with and threw tons of ideas at viewers so I was hoping someone with better comprehension might help. Is kaeru supposed to be his daughter? How do they access these id wells? I initially assumed they would need the mind of the person somehow with a brain scan but it becomes obvious that can’t be the case. I realize it is early in the series and these are possibly questions it will answer later, just want to make sure they weren’t already answered and I missed them because I am dumb. |

 |
| I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw the PV. Ee Aoki has done really good original anime before this one (Re:Creators) so expect a lot of mind-bending concepts. Apparently we have one twisted protagonist! |
 Explaining my scoring system would take more than 650 characters. |
| Wow i love Psycho Pass: The Somnium Files tbh the way this opened was really cool and one of the better "wakes up in strange place with no memory" scenarios i've seen but i wish it held on Sakaido in the well for longer instead of intermittent returns to real life, but i suppose that wouldn't work for Plotte reasons. |
| moe moe ichijou seiya |
| The crime got serious, but it's not doing anything for me to understand how the entire ID world exists for whom and what. For the most part, Sakaido in the fragmented world learns about the bits and pieces that forms one big canvas, but the fragmented world being naturally separate is a course that couldn't be countered. Additionally, the "ID wells" are like different dimensions in people's memories, as Sakaido attempts to deride Kaeru's death mystery and understand the link to serial killer John Walker. Almost all of that dialogue is in one way or another important, but not much clues as of now to determine any causal factors. Definitely interesting premise, and none other from Ei Aoki himself. Just have to wait until the rest drops next month. |
 |
| Damn i just finished playing Ai the somnium files yesterday and this story feels a lot similar, the ids are literaly somniums. And So far i quite like the story, the animation seemed off at times but that didn't affect my enjoyment. |
 |
| Unusual. Mysterious. Interesting. This one has a lot potential. |
| If it keeps up this level of quality I could see this being one of the best series of the season. |
| I have only one question. 6th january .. what episode will be out ? Third one or first one ? |
 |
| I fuck with this show a lot more than I was expecting |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| So Sakaido is a prisoner it seems and looks like for some reason his own daughter suicided because of him. Also there's a guy who creates serial killer, wow. So much mystery for now but this is definitely interesting. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. |
 |
| I will give a few episodes. |
| So far so good. It caught my attention. |
| Holy shit that ED slaps Anyway the anime is pretty decent. Nice mystery show with some imaginative ideas. Looking forward where this will go. |
| He is a Dilf omg -3- |
| Yea this and Babylon definitely going to be two of my all time favourites, that ED fucking bangs wtf. I also just realised why this felt strangely familiar, very similar to Paprika and Satoshi Kon's work, I'm really loving it so far. I think the little girl is going to become evil by the end of everything, think we got a bit of a Chekhov's gun situation going on with that shit he planted in her head figuratively. Looking forward to the next one. Not sure why this has a 7.39 rating already, why would anyone rate a series two eps in? MAL should really ban that. |
 |
| a bit confusing, okay. so from what i understood, that Dominator-like tool detects a person's killer intent, and when it does, it allows the other police to enter the detected person's mind (which creates that world) and they sent the mc into it and figure out the killer? MegamiRem said: So Sakaido is a prisoner it seems and looks like for some reason his own daughter suicided because of him. the synopsis already said his daughter was murdered. |
| Ok so to episode 1/part 1 had my curiosity buy this second episode now have my attention. The setting in quite interesting, it feels like Psycho-Pass x Inception. |
 |
| Meh The first episode starts like a low budget indie videogame in a very disorienting enviroment where the player must find some sort of orientation of what's up or down, left or right in a world with it's own rules. On paper it might sound like an interesting premise, but the execution is totally mind numbing. Episode 2 at leasts shows up a bit more of the outisde world that complements the boring lifeless world inside these so called "wells" but it's also a very boring and lifeless world. The idea that people can live after being pierced by a drill right into the lobe is incredibly hard to buy, and so is the idea that somehow the killer from this first case was able to switch places with one of his victims and managed to scape while in the ambulance. Same goes for the younger investigator Hondomachi that managed to get inside Sakaido's well before becoming a victim with no explanation how she did it. I know I shouldn't ask for the first episodes to answer everything, but quite frankly this lifeless and boring world and lazy directing isn't appealing for me so far. I'll leave this one on hold for now and wait until it goes past mid point to see if more people stuck with this one. |
| Looks promising, I have high hopes for it, maybe the dark horse this season. But this type of show can easily fall flat, hopefully that doesn't happen here. |
| Looks like the Perforator's captured. I thought the girl died, my mistake on that one. The tool to get into the serial killer's mind, Mizuhanome huh? Looke like we need some further explanation on that one. But, it's an interesting concept. |

Frat_Snap said: John Walker has very similar hair to the Chief although I hope it doesn't end up being him as it seems too obvious. Too much a tell if Chief = Killer. Hopefully a red herring. |
| The story is very interesting and good I'm hooked only after Two episodes Can't wait for Ep3 |

| so the main villain is this John Walker that creates serial killers but for now it makes sense that John Walker is just a common concept or symbol of the killing intent of serial killers so Saikado is actually a prisoner with special talent to dive in the unconscious so criminals are fighting against criminals eh that seems like Psycho-Pass too |
 I just want to who is john walker, then I will stop watching.... for me there wasn't anything interesting.. |
