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. | ||

For a system that has multiple minds at work, surely one could have come up with such a solution instead of being forced into a worse one later on. You even pointed it out yourself that the dominator can be modified on the fly by the system yet they wouldn't work out an exception for this case. Here's a hint, dominators = disabled, leads to rebel group not being able to try to overload the system to find a backway in. You should look into what being edgy and elite actually means. All I am doing is pointing out a lack of consistency and logic. edit: Adding one more thing + Show Spoiler + The system passing judgement through the gun is fine but here's the other thing... Random user picks up the gun that they weren't allowed access to in the first place and using said object to judge others. Remember that the guns needed authorization to use, this means others aren't allowed to help pass judgement on their targets yet in this case it was allowed through surgery/implants. 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. | ||

+ 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. | ||

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. 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 | ||

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. -Oku-sama ga Seito Kaichou! summary rofl whenever this is i'm gonna watch the shit out of this | ||

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 | ||
