KiraYoshikage said: It makes me think at VN Kara no Shoujo. I love the VN, but Psycho-Pass is less good. It's like girls who disappeared in the college of KNS http://vndb.org/v810 I agree, the last episode was nearly a direct copy of Kara no Shoujo. This episode diverted a bit, but it was still very reminiscent of the VN. I think Gen must have enjoyed the VN since he incorporated a very similar story into this show. I can't blame him, it was an excellent VN. |
| Ok™ |
VioLink said: itsvero said: Can I start shipping Akane and Kougami now?  There's your answer. ^Highlight of the episode. uh well... Makishima's conversation with this unknown pop get me bored. This episodes use dialogue a bit too much. Though few last minutes entertained me (and of course, freaked me out) Although I must say, this losing-reason-for-living disease is quite interesting. So I bet many people will do suicide, eh? and seriously, Akane x Kougami is canon. |
| Your so-called peaceful world makes me bored, so don't blame me if I destroy all of it. - http://worldinverse.smackjeeves.com |
| Ergh, too much of Kougami's fabulous pecs... Seriously though, Akane. Way to be discreet. Not sure what's got her so interested in him. He's got a personality equivalent to that of a stapler... Guess it's just the abs and the mysterious past. She gels so much better with Kagari, IMO. |
| This show is pretty damn dark. Very creepy. Not what I was really expecting but definitely interesting. |
| Great episode!!!! Gen Urobochi is definitely doing a wonderful job with this series. Loved the dialogue. Makishima's dialogue gave us more understanding of how their society works. The dialogue also gave us a little insight on Oryo's criminal mind. Really disturbing. However, I believe she's an intriguing character. Her view of things is surely warped. She's the most interesting villain so far. Hope they don't discard her so easily. |
| "We should be more proud of NEETs! Love the country that strives to produce NEETs, for world peace, we must stand up! We must find more non NEET-in-waiting elites, learn from each other , form a new Japanese Party, and bravely challenge the evil! Grow, NEETs! Grow like blazing fire! NEETs!” |
| Despite providing the means to an end to the show's collection of sociopaths, Makishima actually makes some rather valid points. |
| The toy seller and children analogy was unnerving given the context of the show. |
Tyrel said: My god. I was eating food while watching this. Fucking horribly idea. This episode was beyond creepy from all the rest. That girl, dem chicks, dem bodies and dat art. Heh, I couldn't finish my dinner neither. I love my mom's thanksgiving cooking, but this episode turn my dinner from 5/5 to 1/5. Great episode nevertheless. |
| As much as I love this show, the pacing isn't the best here. First we get Ouryou talking about her father during that yuri necrophilia scene, and then we get Makishima talking about the same things (among others) to that Senguji guy, whoever he is. Too much redundancy for my liking. Still, the story itself is just so good... |
 |
| Frick, she just gets creepier and creepier. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
Yumekichi11 said: I think she said when she got out of bed that she wanted to continue where her father left off and that she was showing the truth of people just like her father was showing through his artwork.Elite60 said: Still goes back to what I said of unreachable love and sleeping with a dead female more so proves my theorem of her problems. Not able to give birth in a noble family makes YOU SHIT for them. Clearly cause you can't give them someone to take over in the future. Even if she is not sterile, she still thinks of love as not being reachable by her. A tad sad considering any male would bang her body with the size of her breasts and depiction in the spoiler AiCon said: Indeed she does but that would be a factor not motive of her crimes.It could also be that she wishes for her father's love of art and spirit of life to return to the point before Psycho-Pass was invented. She clearly has some daddy issues since she talks about him and how she's carrying on the work that her father "gave up on". Yumekichi11 said: KingCez said: THANK YOU! She got me so angry last episode a MOD had to delete my insults as they were too hardcore. damn that girl pisses me off <_< Rikako pisses me off however for the fact she is hard to catch. PAIN IN THE ASS and I leave it at that. Headaches will ensue to figure out her motives cause the ones I said, are only a fraction of what the possibilities are. I find them endless when you include Shakespeare, love elements and twisted mental shit. The elements variations jump by a lot. Right now I will stick to what I think but changed may incur the more I know of her. Right now I got a idea of her motives and mentality a little. AiCon said: I would prefer to have more villains and variations then emphasization on one for long periods. Sure it proves good but variation do too and if you stale on something far too long it becomes boring. Next episode they should kill her already along with the father being euthanized to be with her. In Hell/Heaven's best places.I can agree that if she sticks around too long that she could get a little boring, which is why I only want her around for another arc.Wow. You're really sensitive when it comes to this stuff. lol I love having a good villain in the show. I find it more interesting than watching those cookie-cutter villains who's only reason for doing stuff is because they feel like it or they better than the rest of the world. I hope that she stays - if only for another arc, so that we can see more of her creepy artwork again. Yumekichi11 said: Bigbuffoon said: You know I was thinking about that and what happens if she kicks KO Rikako and escapes somehow? We might have a person that can confess to the cops less she is caught again.I hope Kawarazaki doesn't die. But she probably will :P I think it would be a nice setup to show that not all the girls are weak like Rikako got so far. AiCon said: YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! She can still do something and she is alive there. It's Mika who is dead next to her or some other girl. IMO it's another girl cause Mika was the one in bed dead.I think that crazy girl put her in the suitcase that she brought to her secret lab.The girl is dead. She'll probably be kept alive for a day or two so that killer can gloat about her work. Yumekichi11 said: I only meant that in terms of gore since they have been stepping it up since the beginning. I expect that after the 22 episodes of this season are over, we've seen some really crazy shit.Miyakoto said: I’m glad that they don’t show explicit stuff. Could be worse than higurashi =( AiCon said: YEAH? REALLY? Check out the spoilerThis show has been getting darker and darker every episode and this is just episode 7. I don't think that it's unreasonable to expect this to become as explicit as Higurashi or School Days in the end. Now guess what they did? Here: http://myanimelist.net/anime/384/Gantz BOOM! The most controversial Gore/Sex induced anime where there is actual sex. I think I made my point of this series and in fact it can be more serious than Higurashi and School Days. Like Gantz maybe. |

Nor I think gore wise it will be censored in terms of the blood and stuff. |
| I do pity Rikako for the death of her father due to illness which probably caused by Sybil System, but the way she murdered those poor high school girls just to shake up the society is getting more and more sickening. I get the feeling that the society will soon be against Sybil System due to that mastermind. Yumekichi11 said: Miyakoto said: I’m glad that they don’t show explicit stuff.

I never knew Gonzo was recently (since there's no Gonzo logo in the first 6 episodes) involved in this project. I thought Gonzo went downfall since 2 or 3 years ago.... |

| hmmm, who was the second girl that was killed and displayed? im a tad confused here xD might have to rewatch them straight soon after this arc is finished xD and the girl in the container at the end, they were just part of that friendship group at school right? oh wait, was the first corpse/art someone that we hadnt seen before and then the second one was the girl who went to her crying in episode 6? |
jimbob1141Nov 23, 2012 6:37 AM
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| lol akane staring at kogami's muscles = WIN good god, rikako is ONE FUCK'd UP BITCH! sleeping with corpses and her mutilation "art"... >.< maaya sakamoto's voice is amazing though! |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| that was yet another great episode of psycho-pass, many hate rikako but i can understand the reason but i actualy love her character very much and i really want to know more about her chracter and the reasons she does those killings... it really calms me and let me thinks about alot of things when she makes art out of those bodies, in other words it is really beautiful. |
| wow this is cool |
| DAMN! Where the hell is the episode preview of it?! THAT Cliffhanger ending makes me so anxious to see what's gonna happen next (I mean Last year Guilty crown official site hasn't even done that after each ep air next day)! That same guy from ep5 (Jae gu song?), the one who was actually Makishima's henchmen! I mean wow, NOBODY knows it was him who can disguise any people like he can mimic as a schoolgirl (Whoever the name is?) Miyakoto said: YEAH? REALLY? Check out the spoiler Since when GONZO studio done this in the first place? |

JeffreyZin said: I don't know but certainly their logo is the proof they are involved in the production of this. Seeing their line up they would be a perfect studio for the gore/sexual implications of various degrees in this series. Miyakoto said: YEAH? REALLY? Check out the spoiler Since when GONZO studio done this in the first place? So far they did quite a nice number on them in part form and service form from what was not censored. I know Gonzo is going to do it right. I have seen all their stuff in DVD and TV format with censors. They did it right IMO therefore from this episode on, I hope to see more their involvement. So far their impact with Rikako's art is showing up in viewers from the IMOs on this thread. So that's a good aspect. |
| Hope somebody just blasts this crazy rikako bitch |
Yumekichi11 said: Not to be a smartass but you're analysis of the criminal is way off and I'm not sure where you're getting most of this stuff from considering this episode explained in detail her motives. There is no mystery behind what she is doing. She is simply finishing her father's work in her own twisted manner. There was a massive exposition dump in the middle of the episode which spoon fed us the answer to what is going on here. As for the roses and such those are aesthetic choices, it's not there to denote royalty or anything. Just because something is can be used as symbolism doesn't mean that it is. Sometimes a rose is just a rose which is true in this case. You're grasping at the thinnest evidence looking for a meaning and coming up with baseless theories, which is kind of pointless when the episode spells things out clearly. Her art much like her father's art is about the nature of cruelty. It was a good episode the killer is very interesting and what's even more interesting is how the Sybil system and Psycho-Pass is negatively effecting people shortening lifespans and creating these living corpses addicted to stress treatments. With the advance in technology even if it's making the world safer it's creating new problems. It's to be expected in this kind of dystopia, but just as the criminals are getting darker each episode so is this society. It's definitely a future you wouldn't want to live in. |

| For those who wonder of the Title "Bletilla striata" It's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletilla_striata surprisingly a flower of all things. It belongs to them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchid#Symbolism whom the meaning is always baffling of flowers but interesting. As for E.D.C.I. aka Eustress deficiency cerebral infarction you can look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction and just think of the deficiency as something that reacts badly to the treatment of stress and you may have a better understanding of the whole thing. Basically it's after a while you nervous by being independent to machines stops working cause it does not provide feed to the body hence like they say shutting down all functions. That's why V gases were the best, they shut down your nervous system and you are dead. Itoukaiji said: It might not be. I know what is explained but of her inner desires, I would not be so sure. We don't even know of her mother but yet there might clues as to what can be assumed of her influence of character. Gen is really mysterious in his series.Yumekichi11 said: Not to be a smartass but you're analysis of the criminal is way off and I'm not sure where you're getting most of this stuff from considering this episode explained in detail her motives.Itoukaiji said: It could be there for another purpose. Denoting royalty is only one meaning it has. Also what was spoon fed is nice but I am looking more past that. She clearly has a inner that is rather dark for what she does. He father's work would be differently arranged I am sure.There is no mystery behind what she is doing. She is simply finishing her father's work in her own twisted manner. There was a massive exposition dump in the middle of the episode which spoon fed us the answer to what is going on here. As for the roses and such those are aesthetic choices, it's not there to denote royalty or anything. Itoukaiji said: Not exactly, it could be she put the rose there to show beauty as in she liked her mouth before killing her and other parts. Roses in this case can mean beauty over the body parts that are stuff in.Just because something is can be used as symbolism doesn't mean that it is. Sometimes a rose is just a rose which is true in this case. Itoukaiji said: Not baseless, founding of certain terms. It's hard to explain but I am quite complicated and so expressing them is hard. It's either you get it or not and are left out.You're grasping at the thinnest evidence looking for a meaning and coming up with baseless theories, which is kind of pointless when the episode spells things out clearly. Her art much like her father's art is about the nature of cruelty. It's not pointless as it expands other possibilities not though out, whom can spark more theorems over the show. Her might about cruelty but what kind? What type? Seems to me like a plain old saying of them girl in my school are all bitches. Well from how they are shown in rather humiliating forms, whom makes me think if she had some sort of hatred for her mother whom might have also died out in thee end due to the system. They should reveal her mother's side. It might give out more clues. |

| Kogami = Hot piece of ass. That girl = Crazy as fuuuuuck. The theories behind her dad's descent into addiction and eventual death is really interesting through and how the whole Psycho Pass system changed all of society. |
| Rikako is one crazy bitch. |
| that girl is really scary |

| That skank makes Sugou look like a Goddess. |
 |
| Wow that senpai bitch is crazy, I hope kogami or anyone else kill her soon (I would be happier if kogami kills her though) and poor girl in the end I doubt that she will be rescued and by the way what are the names of the OP and ED? |
| That Rikako chick is messed up as hell. |
| Older "sister" characters are just plain creepy. Plastination... cool stuff. |

iLostReason said: What the fuck is wrong with her? previous episode made me think that shes sick in head, but this is something even worse.It's like not being a human anymore. Well, is she less human than the ones who rely on Psycho-Pass? I'd say she is more "human" than the emotionless humans that follow the stress therapy. After all, humans are capable of cruel and twisted actions. This episode argues that it is part of human nature and a "normal" person should be able to show restraint. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I find her art very interesting, the only "problem" with it is that the materials are murdered And, except that "small" problem, I find it less disturbing than something like this : (be carefull, can be disturbing) |
| Too much serious violence for my taste... Not sure if I'll drop it at some point. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Rikako is crazy and its going to be interesting how long before the police catch on to her. At the pace she's commiting murder, it cannot be long before they do. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands."

| Rather deep episode,you should think it over. 4/5 for this. |
| Story with this girl making "art" is lame. But scene where Akane looks at Shinya abs was pretty funny. |
| i bet her psycho pass readings will get high after seeing her friends body... if she survives. |
 |
| I liked the details about Psycho-Pass affecting life span... I'm interested to see what's next. |
| "Our everyday lives may, in fact, be a series of miracles." - Nichijou |
taketori said: I liked the details about Psycho-Pass affecting life span... I'm interested to see what's next. ^same here. I liked the dialogue this episode... Each diff convo aided the story. This has been an intense buildup and I look forward to the mayhem that awaits. |
  |
| This episode felt a bit of dragged. |
| While not much happened we got a deeper look at the characters like Kogami and Oryo. As a protagonist, Kogami really is unique this season in that his flaws aren't frustrating and stupid. He takes responsibility for anything he does and always strives to improve himself if he does not have the power to be able to do what he wants. His conversation with Tsunemori gave a lot of insight into Kogami as a person and is someone I would want to work with. Oryo is definitely an interesting serial killer. Her methods easily rival any slasher movie I've seen in recent years and always put me on edge. I especially found it fascinating how her father's raising influenced her character and the way she thinks. Oryo's father was not capable of raising another human being if he can't even understand his own psyche. You'd think Oryo's father would be crazy with the kind of paintings he draws but he was in fact the opposite. For people who watch live television and not just anime, this arc reminds me a lot of Dexter especially with how meticulous she is with her murders. |
