It's cheaper to do it that way.
Broadcast slots cost a lot, even the late night ones that no one really cares about.

Hopefully it sells record amounts so ufotable does an even better job on the next season.
|
It will probably sell well based on the Type-Moon brand alone

Terraformars: + Show Spoiler +so, one of the countries was betraying them huh? Pretty big reveal in that case. These roaches though, my God, it's amazing what they've done over the past several hundred years. Their tactics, preparation etc... beyond belief. Wonder how they will close this off. Guess they'll just take the samples back home after this latest battle is finished or something.

I was always under the impression that split cour is done to get more production time.

Random user picks up the gun that they weren't allowed access to in the first place and using said object to judge others.

Would you say it's problematic if said gun were shut down for whatever reason because it did not belong in its original user's possession? You pretty much picked the only thing that I agreed on and made an argument out of it again, so yeah, I can't really argue back ;D The edgy/elite comment was more general than directed at you really. People like to criticize shows because it's cool to criticize them. It just happened that in this case I just had too much to argue against. Psycho-pass season 2 is not "such a mess" because + Show Spoiler +Sybil for some reason doesn't interfere with rogue Dominators. I can actually find some decent reasons for that. For one, Sybil didn't believe Kamui existed until late in the unfolding of Kamui's plans. Plus, as I said, it would be acknowledging Kamui's point if Sybil were forced to disable their Dominators. Also, afaik it's not official at all that Sybil has a great control on Inspectors, Enforcers, Kasei is officially a regular human, not a body for Sybil, so it may be that the MWPSB just didn't think it would need to disable their gun because of super advanced surgery so they can't do it. If their guns started to be disabled, it would raise the question of "by whom", hence it would become public that Sybil directly controls the MWPSB, and doesn't just serve for the Psycho-pass measure. I also can find good reasons to disable them, mind you, which are probably the same as yours, but which obviously ruin the show so I'm willing to let that slide because, well, I like the show, and if they need the Dominators, I'm ready to let them have them. But I know I can suspend my disbelief very easily compared to my peers (this makes watching anything with my friends complicated because they can't get over plot holes and scientific inacuracies and stuff like that) so I can even understand why you can't accept this "flaw" :D.
Your comment that I most strongly disagreed on was about how silly it was for Kasei to fire Akane ("revoke her rights as Inspector"). First, it makes sense to fire her, she was bargaining with Kamui. Second, it's really not linked at all to whether Sibyl can disable dominators. Kasei is still in charge of the MWPSB, not Sybil. Officially they're not the same, this is a front Sybil intends to preserve.

If there was anything that we learned from Shirabako is that it takes time to do all that fancy shit ufotable does.

Shigatsu ep10
+ Show Spoiler +Was it a bit boring to me. Too long-winded. Still, the three stages he went through were nice. That Kaori could give him strength to seemingly come clear with his mother was nice as well.

Though no idea if that drop in production is money related or time related.

fuck i really wanna talk about this but i am in a hurry so ill make another new post later. the key point is that sybil cannot interfere with the rogue guns (because it would go against themselves), it is an absolute kind of order/system that i didnt realize that until this season. so while i think s1 is so much more superior season but s2 brings something different on the table that is definitely not lazy as some other shitty 2nd cour animes just for the sake of making it

On production issues, just look at Mushishi: split cour and they still were unable to finish the first half on time. Finished product is great and all, but they clearly wouldn't have been able to do that without the season break.

Isn't that mainly because they still working on the show as it's airing instead of finishing it or being almost finished when it starts? I thought that's how TV shows like HBO's stuff works where they film for most of the year then when done they release it. Wonder why anime works differently? Unless I'm mistaken.

Unless I'm mistaken. so that you can pull the emergency break if people don't like it/sells badly and throttle down the budget thus limiting the damage.
But really, it's probably just a "has been done that way, will be done that way" thing

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/12/12/my-wife-is-the-student-council-president-anime-announced
The story begins with Izumi Hayato running to be student body president. But when a beautiful girl swings in promising the liberalization of love while flinging condoms into the audience, he ends up losing to her and becoming the vice president. At the student council meeting, the newly-elected president invites herself over to Izumi's house, where she promptly announces she is to become Izumi's wife thanks to an agreement – facilitated by alcohol – made between their parents when they were only 3.

Don't forget your post, I'm interested in what you have to say :D
My biggest hope for this season is that + Show Spoiler +Kogami comes back at some point (like, for real, not just Akane talking to herself), probably to help Akane. But I don't really expect it to happen . Akane is such a fucking cool character though, I didn't expect her to grow on me like that after the first season.
