| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Poor Shinya-san in the hospital :( Anyways, good episode imo. I think Akane is finally deciding to deal with Shougo, even if it's difficult. Dem flashbacks. I think the main arc is going to soon anyways, and I wonder what will happen. |
 |
| Using her Psycho-Pass / memory to get the criminal's image. Wow, she's strong. Wow @ the relation between that middle-aged police officer and the girl's strict sempai, who seems to be nice. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Wow. discussion already. I need to wait for dem subs....ㅜ_ㅜ |
 |
| Damn, Akane having to resee those horrifying events again. |
 |
| So Ginoza is the son of Tomomi. Very interesting. Also, Akane is pretty darn strong to see something like that again. Ginoza slapping her was funny. |
 |
| wow, dat old lady at last scene was creppy. i think shougo isnt really main bad guy at this show, only he is trying to save country from sibly system or this machine life, maybe..? it becomes more and more complicated. |

| Wow i had no idea that tomomi was ginoza's dad. quite a shock tbh |
| Does anyone else like when the characters say.. SPOOKAY BOOGAY!!? |

| I confess i freaked out when i heard Yuki's scream. My PP probably went sky high xD. That was one hell of an awesome episode! That old lady is giving me the creeps though xD. 5/5 |

Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| Haha, i really thought for a second she might be his mom but that doesn't sound right xD. Am i the only one thinking the showdown between Ko-chan and Shogo-sama from the first episode can happen earlier and not exactly in the last ep? o.O That way, Ko can die. Lol! So harsh! xD |
| Such an awesome show. Love the atmosphere, so intense. I thought some of the sound tracks were pretty cool this ep as well. I'm somewhat hoping the run into the final arc relentlessly increases in pace. I'd love for some psychological and actiony force of nature. Plot twists of zetsuen with action set pieces, the craziness of mawaru penguindrum. All in a psychopass package. Even if psycho pass stays as good as it is now it would be great but I'm kind of dreaming of something mindblowingly incredible. |
| Didn't expect Masaoka is Ginoza's dad. And finally, everyone knows Shogo's face. Can't wait to see more of how they will hunt him down. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Akane was really brave. To do something like that just for the investigation. |
 |
| I got to say, the fact that Masaoka is the latent criminal father of Ginoza was suprising. It's not unexpected and it makes sense, but the thought did not cross my mind becuase they didn't countinue the topic. And I'm suprised at how strong Akane is, considering the writer of the series. There is a change in her personality, but I still suspect that is not the end of it. |
| I had my suspicions that Masaoka was Ginoza's father ever since that episode when they were arguing violently and someone hinted that they had known each other from somewhere besides work and that there was a reason that Ginoza seemed to hate him. This anime just keeps getting better. The whole thing about the last guy whose crime coefficient didn't increase was interesting. I wonder if they will get some old school weapons that would be pretty cool. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| 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. |
 |
| I'm relieved that they didn't go with Akane's Hue getting seriously affected. If anything, it's possible that she's much more similar to Shougo than she thinks. But damn, she's got balls to pull it all together and go through memory reconstruction. Not to mention that she keeps that determined attitude. That scene of the memory scoop was well done imho, Akane's reaction being so realistic. Poor Kogami. In hospital yet again. About Masaoka being Ginoza's dad, I've had suspicions before, still an awesome twist, given their relationship. That chief lady is fishy though. Somehow the ending scene made her appear like a cyborg :/ Oh and gotta love that Rubik's cube. I want one like that :C |
 |
| I find it... not disgusting but not fine the thought they eliminated Touma. I'm sure they did it >.> |
| I did not know the old guy would be Gino's dad, but my best friend pointed that out to me a few months ago lol and that old lady at the end was creepy haha |
 |
| Yeah it was kinda obvious that he were parent and son, but i guess you can miss it out, it's was more obvious that shion and yayoi having sex though. Really liked this episode, way more than the previous one. Old lady is probably related to makishima... interesting. |
| Jesus, just because she also has white hair doesn't mean she's related to him... She could just be old and like her hair like that... Though it's more likely she's actually his mom or something. Bah! So Tomomi is Ginoza's father... I certainly didn't see that one coming. Especially since Tomomi is so warm hearted. Brrrr... I saw Ginoza smile... I'll never surpass the trauma. (Guess I'm hating too much here so I'll shut up) Akane's strength surprised me. I knew she would act bravely but that was amazing. It was cute to see Kogami worried. Psycho-pass's episodes always fell rather short, though they're roughly the same size as any other anime episode. I wish they never ended. Or at least not in a cliff hang. |

parfaited said: I agree with your prediction there and at the least has something to do with him, she seemed familiar with him.Great episode. Finally the ball starts rolling a bit and I feel that the next 9 episodes will be awesome. For a second there I really did think Akane's crime coefficient would go up. Masaoka being Gino's father didn't surprise me. (Speaking of...holy crap that slap that jolted Akane back.) I remember someone guessing that in the very early on in the series and they were right. That old lady is probably Shougo's Anyway I don't like her. |
| 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 -_- |
| Holy crap. Everyone watch after the ending song. Seriously I'm amazed at latest PP episodes. So much char and plot development and so nicely executed. That twist in the end was awesome too. I'm curious to see how they are gonna fight vs that. |
 |
| 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. |

| an ok episode, was like a filler episode imo |
Hydnlife said: an ok episode, was like a filler episode imo I don't think you know what a filler episode actually is. |
| It feels like that Akane is one of the 2 million people who's psycho-pass don't go up, same as Makishima. |
 |

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 |
