Ferras said: New Makishima's toys have appeared anyone remember this? and also the image "JReitan" posted here Definitely, this wasn't a random episode I dislike the ending a lot. Not my taste of music and there's a lot of unnecessary fan service. Makishima does exercise? what a joke!! he almost looks like Kogami -_- PS: People really liked abnormalize?? from ep 1 to 11 there were more people posting bad things about it. I was not expecting that XDXD "when people experience depair , they understand hope" lol |

I think ti was episode 3 or something, somone came in and i think the blonde one pulled her pants up, cant remember fully though. but it was implied. Thanks! I found it, its in ep 2. Also episode 6 around 8:30 |
| Yayoi's back story is great and all, but can we please get back to the deranged hunk that's running free because Sibyl can't judge him. |
 |
| This episode was so-so. I was a bit bored by it but I can't call it bad either, getting some background for the characters is always a good thing :) I just want to see Akane and know how she gets over the events of episode 11 so badly that I can't really appreciate this episode T.T And we once again saw a new fault in the oh-so-great Dominator. You can't even target criminals who you're aiming at if there's someone even slightly blocking the view. That guy could've been so easy to take out with normal more convenient weaponry. Nooo what did you do to my favorite opening? D: Give it back! T.T And the good ED changed into a bad one too =( |

| People are acting like 5 year old that want to skip dinner and get straight to the candy with all their wishing to just see the bad guy and stuff. This was a good episode, and it gave us more inside into the Sybil system and the frustrations of life in it. People also should realize that the major plot of this anime is that system in-itself and life around it and not simply the fight with some bad guy. Yumekichi11 said: All this is quite possible in the flaws of the system and essentially the creator can be centered over a interesting plot. The Nazis who escaped got families and now one of them made them machine. It’s possible this is just a wild theory but one from IRL that can be taken from mucho conspiracies revolving around it on the NET. So I am going to leave all this as the Creator is some ex bad guy that made the system not being able to recognize his types. New theory if you will. I don't think it's like that. Sybil isn't some evil intended system, it's just that it fails at realizing the complexities of human nature. For example it can translate stress etc as dangerous even when it's not exactly like that. It seem to fail to comprehend or underestimates the ability of the human mind over impulses or stress. Is like a mind reader that can see your crazy thoughts but can't comprehend your ability to ignore them or not take them seriously. A system like that could have work amazingly well as a helper but unfortunately many humans tend to like absolutes. It's easier for them because they can stop having to wonder and tiring their minds so they made it like a God instead of just a non absolute helping tool. And the more times the system was correct the more they thought of it as flawless and made it into absolute ruler. Such system is dangerous exactly because it isn't completely evil and it can be right most of the times. Because of that the lives of those getting unfair judgment got at first ignored and then just disappeared under the assumption that the system can't be wrong. Basically is like having a lie detector as an absolute. We know it's most of the times right but we know that it can be wrong too. But if we had it as an absolute we wouldn't even accept the possibility of it being wrong. a lie detector isn't an evil device it's just a system. As they say "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". |

| ^ Exactly. And it is not perfect because we humans are not perfect. Only perfection can create perfection, be it human being or a system. |
| I enjoyed seeing yayoi's backstory, especially how they talked about artists having the potential of becoming latent criminals if they get too involved in their work. What I really couldn't bring my self to fully enjoy though was the new beginning song, at least in comparison to the previous one which I felt was perfect for the series. I do hope that they get back to the main story line next week though. |

Monad said: But that's the thing, if the one or ones created this system as a absolute to hide behind and do whatever they want cause they know how it works, would it be the most convenient for them? You just proved it that it is. By making something absolute and like that, you can do anything you want behind its back if you know the flaws of the absolute machine.Yumekichi11 said: All this is quite possible in the flaws of the system and essentially the creator can be centered over a interesting plot.

| OMG they all had an orgy at the end ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Wow, this new OP is bad. Abnormalize was perfect. The new ED is OK, I mean it's still Egoist. Where is my Akane? |
 |
| yeah, abnormalize totally kicked this new fail engrish OPs ass... but the new ED is hella nice at first, i was kinda meh on this ep just being another backstory ep. but shit got really good, really fast. now i actually hope they continue and wrap up this story next week, i still wanna get back to the present with akane's situation and sasayama was pretty beast, sucks that hes dead now |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| dayumm those were some nice abs and pecs in that new ending there. although i have to agree, the new op and ed songs suck compared to the old ones. i liked learning about yayoi. virtually nothing has been said about her up until this point and she actually seems like a decent person instead of a stone cold bitch like they were making her out to be. i like the anarchy theme and comparing sybil to a fascist system. all very interesting. i love anime that digest the nature of humanity. |

| Very solid backstory episode. New OP and ED are pretty cool, but I still prefer the previous ones. |
 |
| This episode wasn´t bad, but they should have either showed Yayoi´s backstory earlier or not bothered with it in the first place. Trying to suddenly characterize a character who hasn´t had feelings for 12 episodes at this point is like trying to come up with an excuse, or just to say "Look at us! All our characters can get character depth. Aren´t we great?" I would have preferred her to have a few minutes of every episode for herself instead of doing an entire episode all about her. To me, the most important part about this episode was that they revealed something that could turn out to be an important fact: There actually are people who are trying to fight the Sybil system. Not everyone is just sitting around, complaining or simply accepting it. |

| Ok, abnormalize was over the top but I liked the new OP, and I'm the only one here, I think. |
 |
| Not the greatest episode but i can see why it was a needed one, aside from character back story via flashback it also brings into light the problems of the system which was already being heavily questioned based on the fact that they couldn't kill the guy last time. |
 |
| It was cool to get some background on the characters and after the break was as good a time as any. Real solid anime this. Good characters and good writing. I used to have Ernie Ball strings on my guitar too. Good times those1 |

| I'm okay with new OP and ED, liked previous ones much more though, both in terms of visual sequence and songs. I feel that Abnormalize was much more distinctive :D As for the episode, it was good. I'm sort of glad they decided to postpone with current story and instead gave us some further insight on Sybil and rehab system. Rehab system was the highlight of the episode for me. I mean, a mental institution with classical music, white walls and sleeping gas? Pretty messed up. Even more so, when Kogami mentions that it's next to impossible to emerge from there with a stable set of mind. Just further proves that sybil system is a sugarcoated atrocity. So in a sense that there's a possibility of Akane getting her Hue clouded and maybe undergoing a treatment program, this was sort of relevant to show. |
 |
| Now, that's how you do a Character Development episode, the only bad thing is that it came out of nowhere, specially after last ep but the episode itself was great, I liked that they showed the guy that died, quite a crazy guy indeed. Btw, why did they have to change OP/ED, the old ones were great, now I'll have to skip them. |
| Bring back Abnormalize lol, it suits Pyschopass perfectly unlike the new one |
 |

| srsly, how can you show a cliffhanger, disappear for a few weeks and then re-appear with a character development episode? the episode itself was great executed imo, but i think we all were expecting more. anyways, it's was nice to know a little bit more about Yayoi and to see how was the inspector life for Kogami (also i know everyone has said this but, the dead guy looks like a complete ass) |
| any Development is better than none just the timing on it was weird ,like the Op and Ed not better then the last ones but still good. |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| ED: "You'll never walk alone..." Yay, Liverpool! |
 |
| This episode was good but I was expecting a continuation of the last episode since it was such a cliff hanger, I'm guessing Mina will show up in the next few episodes and Yayoi will stop her, Like most other people (Judging from the comments) I also like the old opening better then the new one, But the new one is still good just not perfect like Abnormalize And the endings were about the same. I'm glad that i recorded the old opening and ending :P Can't wait for next week |
 |
| I like backstory episodes, it adds depth to the show. It showed that Kogami was still a bit of an A-hole even when he was an inspector, Ginzo was...the same idiot which shouldn't surprise me. I wonder if Rina will re-emerge. I think why the show was rated lower was simple...we want the main story back!!! |
 |
| Yay a Kunizuka episode! And some Sasayama. Now just waiting on some character development for Shuusei and Masaoka >:3 I agree that this would have been better early on rather than after the previous cliffhanger, but oh well. And the Sibyl system has some problems with the arts in general, eh. That's depressing, but not really surprising. |
 |
| Hurray Yayoi backstory. |
 |
| Good new OP. ED is good too except for the visuals~ but I might get used to it and start to like it later. Enjoyed the whole episode as a whole :D |

| The episode was good, but kind of like hitting a wall when you're running at full speed. I was really excited after 11, and they didn't even give us a hint towards what happened next so that kind of dulled me a bit. Like they put us to wait anxiously for two weeks and now they don't even show us what happened next. It's frustrating. Still I enjoyed it. Nice to learn more about Yayoi and her reason for becoming an enforcer. Never would have expected something like passion for music would make your hue darken. And it was kind of sad how she parted with her friend. I wonder if the next episode will be about Shuu? Probably not, since he said he joined after Kogami went bad. It would have been nice to see a bit more about Tomomi, I really like that old man. I liked meeting Sasayama, pity he died. Ginoza's hair: Oh My God I mean, his hair is ridiculous even now but... I pity him. I seriously pity him from the bottom of my heart. So much I can't hate him anymore. |

jaredross said: pointless filler episode It's not really pointless though.It gives Yayoi's past and the system being flawed for more reasons |
 |
| Well, this was a nice episode, but it seemed a bit out of place. I liked the OP, both the song and the visuals, but I liked the first one better (it was more unusual). Liked the ED song, can't really judge the visuals yet, as we only have had them for a few seconds. We'll see what they'll show us next time. It was nice to see Yayoi's past and I really liked Sasayama's character, he's a badass bastard, just like Kogami described him. Well, to those who wonder what the next episode is going to be... According to spoilers... |

| While I expected to see more after that awesome last episode, I really liked this one; one thing I think PP lacks is proper characters' backgrounds, and finally we saw more from Yayoi, with well executed flashbacks. Plus I got the feeeling it wasn't all just "background" and Rina will show up later ...(considering even ep 3 and 4 cases had a part in the main plot) I hope we get to see some more also from Shuu, the old man and the hot doc. New OP is definitely a step back; don't like the song and neither the visuals. ED song is good but not "Namae no nai kaibutsu" level. And lol @everyone's naked |
| I was a little disappointed that Episode 12 didn't continue from where Ep 11 left off but I'm thankful that they told Yayoi's story. After watching this episode I re-watched the episodes before and had a deeper appreciation of her personality. It makes sense now why she was the one who comforted that girl who lost her friend. I'm impressed that Yayoi, despite being labeled as a latent criminal by Sybil (prolly) because she was too passionate about her art, still chose to be an Enforcer. I kind of expected her to take Rina's side..? I'm really looking forward to a flashback about Shuu! :D |
St_Ranger said: Well, sh*t. Though i really wanna see what happened to Akane, i also wanted to see Sasa-chan and his death. |
| Meh, boring.And the old op/ed were definitely better. |
