The main inspectors of this season, are Kei and Arata, who make up a loveable tandem. The former being an immigrant in a time period, where immigrants are looked down on heavily, and the latter, being a mentalist, who is able to trace memories of people, and areas. Kei acts as Aratas keeper, as he generally needs help returning to his senses when he starts doing a mental trace.
Psycho Pass 3 does a solid job of introducing new characters that fit the bill, while keeping longtime viewers tied over on the occasional appearances of characters from the previous two seasons. Namely Kogami, Ginoza, and Tsunemori.
The plot was gripping, and kept me entertained throughout the 45 minute sessions, with a grand total of 8 episodes. With that being said, and the content withstanding, this season felt incomplete to me. Almost like they ran out of time, or budget, and didn't have enough content to wrap everything up neatly, or get to what I can only assume, was the target of 24 episodes. So, instead, they did 8 longer episodes.
Even still, the last episode didn't really resolve much of anything. Spoilers ahead, if you haven't fully watched this yet.
Sure, Kei managed to get his wife out of holding, what becomes of him now, that he's an inspector of Bifrost? How does this conflict with his friendship with Arata, or his position in the Public Safety Bureau?
Speaking of Bifrost, those lunatics are still out there causing mayhem... And to be honest, it didn't feel like they were even remotely close to solving the case concerning Bifrost.
I'm expecting another season of Psycho Pass, and I'm hoping it'll come sooner than later, because there are an awful lot of questions I'd like to get some answers to.
All in all, I give Psycho Pass 3 - an 8/10. Better than season two, but still not quiet up to par with the first season. Here's to hoping Season 4, whenever that comes, is a step forward, and not a step back.
