So the entire purpose of the new inspector in Psycho Pass is basically to be an incompetent ass. Boy, I sure hope that's not because they have some super obvious character growth planned for her.
One also wonders why Sybil still hasn't fixed the hue calculation algorithm since season 1.
The episode was pretty cringe worthy. + Show Spoiler +Just stand in front of that locked down store for however long and do nothing more please. But talk shit about your own boss/superior more... poor Sakura Ayane.
How much more are they going to try and pretend that Kamui doesn't exist, despite so much evidence to the contrary? Does your suspects constantly calling for him not give a hint that he's real?
Even Akane's interrogation was pretty shit. Maybe I've just watched too much NCIS and expected a bit more from that.

Psycho Pass 2 is many things, but subtle sure isn't one of them.

Hmm one thing about Makina's route I do not get
+ Show Spoiler +
Where the hell are the main branch people who supposedly want her alive and well? They have the lions share of the power in that family yet so far only the branch family who want her dead are doing anything. You would think they would take measures to protect her outside of 1 phone call from her grandpa asking her to come home since this issue seems to be very very important to them.

Six episodes into Welcome to the NHK and I'm kinda iffy on it. Any interest I have in seeing the end is weirdly balanced out by every time the MC does something cringeworthy with the hikikomori/paranoid stuff. Is finishing it worth the ride or should I shelve it for the time being?

Obviously grandpa forgot about her due to his alzheimer's.

Hmm, as for the Psycho Pass calculation, what do you mean? If you mean Kamui's, Sybil explains in PP1 that criminally asymptomatic individuals are bound to arise (ones that cannot be judged by Sybil's limited criteria) and that in that case Sybil tries to incorporate them to the system (like it tried with Makishima). If you mean his mindless sheeps', I thought it was clear that whatever he's doing to them fucks their mind up.
I think you know that hue calculation doesn't take into account people's behaviors and current actions. So you can very well be killing people downtown, if you're intrinsically clear Sybil won't change its mind about you.
I can see why you would be annoyed that Sybil doesn't do a better job when it obviously could (like when a guy kills 10 people :D), but the entire point of the series is to show how flawed that system is. Psycho Pass is not a perfect show, but the premises behind the Sybil system are decent, and at least consistent as the episodes go, imo.
And yeah, otherwise, Shimotsuki really is overly annoying.

Sent, I also feel like you when people talk about best girl in Amaburi. At least you're actually best girl though while I get called a retard and slut.

Its better to be called a retard than have MJ claim you as a waifu, IMO

+ Show Spoiler +My main gripe with the system is the chief. It's made explicitly clear that she is representative of the Sybil system. It is also capable of judgement and of circumventing the hue system, as demonstrated in season 1.
So Sybil's composed of people - they obviously know that killing is bad. What exactly is stopping them from using behavior as criteria? The people used by Kamui are certainly not benefiting mankind or the Sybil system, as the result of their actions is an increase in area stress, so why are they not judged?

If you don't like it now, then the rest might not appeal to you either. It's pretty much more of the same style. The mc advances quite a bit through his life, but a lot of the same jokes stay around.

- "no japan girls will ever like you"
- "ghandi never watched anime" LOL
- "how am I supposed to have grandchildren when my son only talks to his pillow" -> this one takes the cake lol.

Help me! I can't fucking figure out why I'm blanking on this, but what anime was this thing from? I'm pretty sure I watched it somewhat recently but i keep blanking on where it's from. It's really bugging the shit out of me. I know it was something a little dark (like this thing looks all cute but is actually like some sort of demon thing? i donno, i can't remember..grrrrr) + Show Spoiler [image in question] +
