| Shit was getting real in this episode. I cant believe Aoyanagi got fucked up like that in this episode. And Mika is still annoying little bitch. |
 |
| That was a pretty... intense episode at the ending there.... Also is it me or did the opening seem a bit altered? With some parts/faces blurred out? |

skudoops said: Also the scene where they all instantly saw when her dominated was activated.. I mean.. what happened with that when it was activated on the mia detective in episode 3? Why didn't the sniper rifle identify Aoyanagi as an inspector like dominators normally do?.. I dunno about you guys but there's a lot of inconsistency that's bothering me in this season. This what happens when the original writer (Creator) wasn't present in the sequel series. Obviously he didn't know what was the whole Sibyl System present on the First Season and I Think he only knows the basics of PSYCHO-PASS? |

| Man that old can certainly lift. I bet he physically overpower superman. Good episode 4/5. |
novalysis said: My main problem is with Mika. This girl has no shred of initiative - with her passivity, you could replace her with a Drone, and there'd be no difference. This was an amazing level of incompetence, but sadly, I fear she's being set up to die in an ironic and horrific manner. |

| This was painful to watch. Not only how brutal that man was to all the victims, but the police as well, and worst of all....Mika. For an inspector who's supposed to be a leader, she's the epitome of a failure in the fields. She's had no accomplishments to support the vast amount of pride within her. Rayzer said: No, not really. She became an inspector to prevent such things from happening, like what happened to her best friend, yet she has no initiative to do so. She refuses to take any initiative on the case, because she doubts Akane's ability to enforce, yet she's done nothing significant so far, so where is all this pride coming from? novalysis said: My main problem is with Mika. This girl has no shred of initiative - with her passivity, you could replace her with a Drone, and there'd be no difference. This was an amazing level of incompetence, but sadly, I fear she's being set up to die in an ironic and horrific manner. Akane in the first season is a much more realistic character. Actions through instinct, not pride. |

Rayzer said: Considering she's an Inspector already for more than a year and no young girl anymore... nope, not realistic. |
Ringlord said: It wasn't realistic to begin with either, tbh. Rayzer said: Considering she's an Inspector already for more than a year and no young girl anymore... nope, not realistic. With her feelings to become an inspector after her friend's death, she should want to enforce action, not sit by and watch it happen to a whole group of victims, but of course, that's exactly what she did. I honestly can't stand watching her. |

Ringlord said: Rayzer said: Considering she's an Inspector already for more than a year and no young girl anymore... nope, not realistic. Young as in young age, therefore still rebellious and hardheaded in her own ways which are actually the sibyls. |

| I didn't like this ending. Left me with a really bad after taste.. |
hantere said: It kind of concerns me that their special weapon could shoot through walls, but can not identity the people lol. Man Kamui is way more sadistic then Makishima. All those innoncent victims plus inspector Risa that was so messed up. Shot while doing her job. But uncourse sibly and its messed up system will even kill its own inspectors. Taking a gamble with that weapon every time. |

deadsea said: Well, I think it was only lethal when they shot Aoyanagi since her hue was 300+ iirc, and the guy said he chose the target with higher stress levels.skudoops said: Yeah I missed that, when she took it from his waist it should have been in at least paralyzer at 280 hue, but going by the sniper rifle it should have been in eliminator. Uhm maybe this rifle can only act be in Lethal Eliminator like you said or that was a mistake. |

astro said: [UBUKATA INTENSIFIES] Though actually this episode felt kind of hamfisted and very Urobuchi in its delivery throughout the first 2/3rds. I'd like to know how much he worked on each individual episode vs. Ubukata and the other guy that helps write the script. Overall I'm much more pleased with Ubukata's work and delivery. I hope it continues and that the Urobuchi infodumps don't kick in later on. So far this season is much better and is making up for the disaster that was S1. ANYWAY Edit: surfboard_ said: Needless killing scenes are okay since its written by Urobochi It's not written by Urobuchi. A hint about his past? airplane accident? or maybe Makishima in disguise lol |
| That was intense but i still don't understand if the old woman in her office is still the same person we saw on the 1st season and still one of the villains or a new complete character. |

Ringlord said: surfboard_ said: That's because a sequel isn't needed at all. They're only doing it for the money. Needless killing scenes are okay since its written by Urobochi, it is their own fanservice. You can even laugh because there are "serious" animators doing this kind of thing. Season 2 isn't written by Urobochi, it's by Ubukata (Mardock, GitS Arise). No, it's not. This season is written by Kumagai Jun. The writer of masterpieces like Valvrape, Galilei Donna(remember DAT finale people? Yup, this guy was responsible for that clusterfuck) and Hamatora. Ubukata is credited for "series composition". Regarding the episode itself - absolutely horrendous. Cringe worthy, fan fiction level of writing. Shallow questions/dilemmas, awful shounenesque dialogue, sub-par production values. Pitiful attempt at imitating Urubuchi's style by simply adding "edgy" violence and "suffering". He should at least have the fucking decency to read-up on Urubuchi's older Nitro+ works before trying to emulate his style. |

But Uro also did the Series Composition for Season 1... and the job of the series composition is to check the scripts, before they go further into prodcution, So yes, in this case it's also Ubukata's fault. |

Silver4000 said: A good episode, intense and interesting. But, as I said on the previous episode, it's freaking stupid people following the system without questioning it. If there is no need there can only be want, which no one can have as sibyl decides that. Quite the dictatorship I say. |

| WTF! Great episode and I think (once again I think) I can see where the plot is going. Okay so I think Kamui plan is to show the world what color it is. Blue meaning your hue has not rise or red meaning it's clouded. What thought was to be something perfect is not. This episode was proof of this. Those people in that building were innocent, but since they hue was high (red) that got killed. Seems like Kamui is trying to expose Sibyl or at least (from episode 2) find someone like Akane to see this. The dominators can also kill investigators. I feel like that going to come into play later. 5/5 for me. |

| oh As much as I loved first season, if by the end Mika doesn't get brutally killed or better, just assaulted, I will drop my score to 7 Writer(s) are trying so hard to make us hate her character that in the end it can be ultimate satisfaction to see her suffer So now about this episode well... It's true that people are brought up to not question sybil system, control their stress level and under no circumstance use violance, but god... it was awfully pathetic to watch some old man overpower more than 10 people so easily but but what an old man <3 crushing skulls with his bare leg like they are nothing 0__o don't really like it so far I can't even recognize more than half of the characters there are so many of them can't really understand who is who and everything seems so forced... |

Do they always introduce the holder even in S1? Or is there something they press? Also, though Urobochi isn't the script writer, he's one of the overseers in this sequel. The writer could ask him personally about these plot points/information about this world. darkreaver94 said: SaveTheAralSea said: Omg, wtf??? Aoyanagi....>_< And seriously, how can you squish someone's skull by simply stomping on it? It was like that guy's skull was a grapefruit or something. Anime logic. Akame ga Kill have Tatsumi splitting someone into half from head to toe. My mother said there's a major/large(?) artery/capillary(?) in the nose. I'd also had profuse nosebleeds that seemed unable to end. The blood may be exaggeratedly a lot in this ep, but we can't be sure where else he was wounded on the face. I feel like the stupidity in this episode was meant to be a social commentary. Sybil has made these people act like children. They are absolutely dependent on Sybil's judgment that they couldn't do anything without it. If this was like our world, fight or flight response should have kicked in for all of them, but in a world wherein they were so protected that they don't get exposed often in fight or flight situations, what instincts of theirs will still work? What other instincts do they have except never let their hues get clouded? This episode also reminds me of the Stanford(?) Prison experiment, wherein the guard (or hostage taker in this ep) in power acts out his role in its possible extreme way, and the prisoner/hostage acts more like a prisoner/hostage (obedient in the face of authority). In short, in the time that Sybil couldn't work/have authority, they believed in the authority of the old man. Again, they become like children. |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Wow, this episode was truly amazing. So far, I'm loving this season much more than the first one. It's much more intense and isn't afraid to tap into the real cruelty of Sybil. While in S1 Sybil was something I definitely agreed with, now I realise just how messed up it can get when someone has cheat codes. Seriously though, this is a huge epic mindfuck where Sybil looks like nothing else but a prison for those who are in the wrong place at the the wrong time. I love it! It's also showing how messed up the inspectors are. Truly powerful anime. Hopefully, the ending will be just as good because the way Kamui is doing what he does will be the key in whether I like this anime or not in the end. |

Which show was "cut in half"? "Liking" a show does not translate into the show being well written or objectively "good" for that matter. I didn't say Ubukata is completely blameless, I simply said he's not the writer as you've stated before. Urobuchi was both, the script writer and responsible for the composition, so I don't see how this is of any relevance. |

Akane in the first season is a much more realistic character. Actions through instinct, not pride. I was just saying that It could be It wasn't her ambition to be an Inspector in the first place and she just forced herself to do it. And she can't trust anybody because of what just happened to her friends, It's a simple logic to think of. But most of you was pissed of with her without thinking of any possibilities of her reasons. And well 1 year huh? That's a big problem because they just hinted it without showing what happened, It's really impossibly that nothing happens on one year and we can't even see what was the progress of their operations. So I blame it to the New Writer who randomly think of ideas. |

Urobuchi was both, the script writer and responsible for the composition, so I don't see how this is of any relevance. Ubukata could still rewrite before giving the OK considering he stands higher in line, but nope... or he did, which makes it even worse :( |
