Watch Order

Robert McCollum (VA of Kogami) did an interview at NYCC. In the interview he says that he got to go back and work on some new Psycho-Pass content and yes he specifically mentions SEASON 3 in the interview!

Nothing official from Crunchyroll. But here’s the link to the 1 minute interview.

We might finally be getting it y’all🥹

Spooky Boogie is basically a furry Vtuber and thanks to the hologram and costume technology it is probably incredibly easy for people to create the holographic equivalents of fursuits. There are even costume parties hosted by major internet personalities so I don't think conventions would be out of the question either.

Also, furries in real life have figured out how to make animatronic ears that actually move in response to nerve or brain activity; imagine what they could make with the cybernetic technology we see in Psycho Pass.

(Perhaps there is still hope for people like me, assuming that I don't get tagged as a latent criminal)

One moment she will be crying and next minute she will start complaining. She is so selfish and punchable that I am starting to ignore MC's stupidity.

Since people sees Mika as the one most likely to have a heel-turn flag, especially compared to Akane whose despite her actions is still considered the main protagonist, I think Mika would want Akane dead or at least had her hue painted black. Mika basically hated Akane for being Sybil's golden child, a patron saint even.

Sybil also considers Akane to be a threat to the System. Perhaps it demoted Akane to Statuary Enforcer because it wanted to see Akane's hue painted black, so that it can judge Akane properly.

So Sybil comes to Mika with an offer: paint Akane's hue black, and it will wipe Mika's hue clean. I mean, in S2 Akane was this close to have her hue painted black, and Mika actually had a minor role in it.

But I can imagine their plans backfires, at worst it fails from the start.

What do you think? Does Akane has any chance of having her Psycho-Pass goes up to the "enforceable" levels? Is there any chance that Sybil would simply turn against Mika?

I wanna just make sure I’m watching in the correct order.

Is Psycho-Pass season 3 dubbed?

Makishima is a great villain. One of a kind. I wish he would have persisted and gotten more screen time via more episodes like Johan Liebert from monster. Maybe not as many episodes as monster, but still I feel like his character is under utilised.

This was the author’s vision. So I respect it. But still. I just wanna see more of such a great villain.

Never felt this sad over a villain dying since probably chimera ant arc.

Haven’t watched past season 1. So avoid any further spoilers.

Okay we see holographics everywhere in psychopass but this question is related to a specific use of it as mentioned in the title and my questioning of it is prompted by recollection of a couple scenes in season 1.

The costume tool: Akane uses it pretty repeatedly throughout the anime, with a notable incident being when she goes to lunch with her friends before going to work later in the day. During the preamble to this scene and in others we see her going through multiple outfits before settling on one, and later reverting from this selected outfit to her typical work clothes.

During the spookie boogie case Akanes team is hit with hologram manipulation; and Masaoka uses flammable booze to figure out where holograms are (the engineer in me is appalled at how the apartment holographic systems continue functioning during a clear fire instead of physically cutting power to holographics: that's such an insane safety risk!) However earlier in the episode it is revealed to us (couch got moved) that holograms are purely visual and in no way whatsoever interact with the physical world.

Now my question / the topic of discussion: how do we think the holocostume device really works? On a simple level it projects a hologram around the individual wearing it but from an implementation pov it's so much more complicated than that. The holograms emitter is most likely located in the costume device: it(the device) would need to know where it is on the body of the person or it might emit the hologram into a space where the person isn't. For the outfit to actually mimic clothing it needs to be able to tell where the body is in relation to the hologram and then move the hologram to match it. It also would need to measure and react to things like air movement, and physical structures like chairs or desks. I just have more and more and more questions the more I think; can it accommodate rain and the person getting wet? Would it be like in video games where you look dry until it decides a threshold has been hit and gives you wet textures? What's the complexity of the control users have? Can they change individual textures, make whole clothing patterns from scratch like Minecraft skins, pick the color? Is it a subscription service, do you upload files to the device or pull them from a catalogue.

SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know, what are all of your thoughts on them? Any questions or glaring implications i missed?

Please remove if not allowed! Just very happy with my cosplay base, still needs a lot of work and adjusting! (Pls excuse messy bedroom and mirror!)

If all goes well then I will soon be graduating from my university, at which point I may decide to pursue a master's degree. I have presented my research at conferences with other people in my field and look forward to collaborating with them in the future. I have close friends and a partner who I love with all of my heart, and a family who loves and supports me.

If the Sybil System was in place, I don't think I would even be here.

I am lucky enough to be in a good place now mentally, but I could easily see the mental health issues I struggled with at different times in my life getting me flagged by the system before I even hit the age of 18. Especially considering that the worst of those issues (the belief that I was constantly being monitored and judged by God, including my thoughts, and that I could suffer divine punishment at any moment unless I repented, and that the people around me could suffer as well by proxy in the event of misplaced retribution, turning every day into a hostage negotiation in the back of my mind as I apologized for my intrusive thoughts in an endless loop) would probably be exacerbated further under Sybil.

Even if I did manage to undergo a paradigm shift like the one that eventually broke me out of that mindset, the anger I would feel at the system responsible for my suffering as well as my negative opinion of the very nature of the system itself would probably result in me remaining locked up in an isolation facility even if my mental health did eventually improve. Because that way of thinking probably isn't compatible with the society Sybil wants to build.

And that's assuming that my desperation wouldn't drive me to turn to those treatments that end up sending people into vegetative states due to eustress deficiency.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at a pretty young age and I took anti anxiety medication for a long time, so the idea of me starting a medication or treatment plan like this is actually perfectly conceivable to me. And that scares the hell out of me because as much as I have struggled to focus or with my mental health, I love my mind. It is my favorite part of me. And the idea of having to chemically lobotomize myself in order to avoid being locked away from the various people I hold dear as well as the many resources and opportunities that have enabled me to get an education and be successful in life is horrifying to me.

I am not so deluded that I would honestly believe myself capable of being an Enforcer. I am not nearly active or athletic enough to run down a suspect or hold my own in a fight. I could maybe, at best, be part of the team that runs analysis like Karanomori, since my work as an anthropologist could potentially be useful to the CID. But even that seems far off because of all of the ways that the aforementioned factors could impact the development of my skill set. The only reason I even decided to become an anthropologist is because I took a few classes on it in community college. Sure I had an interest in crime scene investigation even before I took a forensics course, but it was taking those classes that made me realize it was a feasible career path for me.

If that had not happened then I might have never met my friends at my university. I have friends that have also struggled with their mental health and with trauma, and the idea of any of them being locked away in an isolation facility, cut off from the outside world, makes me sick to my stomach.

Hell, the idea of anyone being subjected to that is upsetting.

I know I have talked a lot about my own experiences and the opportunities I would have missed under the system, but I want to clarify that even if I was not a successful person it would still be inhumane to subject someone like that to the amount of restrictions that the Sybil System places on the people it deems incompatible with society.

Mentally ill people should not have to choose between getting the support they need and having basic freedoms like being able to contact their loved ones outside of sparse interactions between panes of glass in a prison that is rigged to kill them in the event of social disruption.

Involuntary commitment should be a last resort as it is sometimes known to worsen the mental health of the individuals admitted due to the forceful removal of their rights and freedom.

That is probably part of the reason why so many people who come to the isolation facilities never recover. Because the very process of being subjected to that level of control and deprivation of everything aside from their most basic needs and whatever the staff allows them to possess is absolutely capable of taking a toll on a person's psyche.

And the fact that these measures can be implemented preemptively without the individual having any history of being a danger to themselves or others is insane.

Plenty of people experience disturbing thoughts, myself included, but that does not guarantee that they would ever act on them.

Just because I know that my tongue is made up of two different muscles capable of moving independently of each other and my brain goes “those scissors on your desk are looking pretty convenient” doesn't mean that I would actually give myself a DIY body modification on the spot.

People are capable of discretion and the Sybil System is unable to fully account for that, as evidenced by Makashima demonstrating Sybil’s inability to flag him as a threat even as he murdered another person right in front of it.

I've seen people claim that Sybil is effective at reducing rates of crime in the areas where it is active, which is true enough since anyone it doesn't catch will probably retreat to the lower income areas not covered by Sybil, but I would argue that the treatment of Latent Criminals under this system amounts to a crime in and of itself. It is a human rights violation.

“Oh but the Sybil System is the reason why Japan hasn't fallen into chaos like all of the other countries of the world”.

First of all the Sybil system was implemented in living memory and I feel like whatever conflicts were catastrophic enough to tank every other civilization in the world outside of Japan were probably way more complicated than they were made out to be, assuming that the information is even accurate considering that I wouldn't put it past the Sybil system to withhold or fabricate information in order to maintain order.

And even if it is true, that wouldn't be a shield from criticism or an excuse not to make improvements.

I am lucky enough to live in a safe environment with people who care about me and have my best interests at heart, but that doesn't make it okay to ignore injustices when they occur simply because another person in another part of the world might have it worse.

All of this is to say that I am glad that I don't live under Sybil because I probably wouldn't be the person I am today if I did.

He's always been someone I thought was really cool, but looking back I don't actually know anything about him. It's been so long since i've seen the series so I might have just forgot, but besides him being affiliated with Shogo, that's about it.

Would anyone be able to tell me his life history/background, and how he found out about or got into contact with Shogo, his reasons/motivations for working with him? And anything else really, much appreciated!

With urobuchi stopping writing psycho pass post season 1, is it safe to say it was planned as only being a one season anime?

I watched season one and two like ten years ago lmao. I recently rewatched while crocheting and ofc got caught up in entirety. Now I feel empty and nothing else is holding my attention. Any watch suggestions?

Been watching through the series. Season one was amazing, season two was good but felt like it was missing some sort of depth, and the movie was really good, but felt disconnected from the rest of the series which isn't that shocking. Anyways, a bit bummed to see that there isn't a dub available for the third season, especially considering its age. I understand it released during the funimation buyout clusterfuck but did that ruin the show's chances of being dubbed in english? I don't have issues with subs but I hate switching from one to the other after I've already watched a show in one language, plus this show just genuinely has a great dub. I haven't looked into what the source material for Psycho-Pass is, but I hope the series hasn't been shelved as of late. I'm a sucker for dystopian cyberpunk settings.

I've been a massive fan of season 1 since I first watched it around ~2015-2016 and have seen it maybe seven or eight times at this point. After my first watch way back when, I took a chance on season 2 and didn't love it, so each time I've rewatched it I've just left it at that. I felt like season 1 had enough closure for me to feel satisfied with how the story ended there.

Recently, I rewatched season 1 and ended up just continuing onward. I actually liked season 2 a lot more on the second watch and loved the movie as well as SotS Cases 2 and 3 (didn't love 1, but hey, that's me). I've been so out of the loop that I didn't even know that there was new material past the 2015 movie lol

I feel like SotS Case 3 ended on such a high and I was so ready to dive into season 3 but I'm about half way through episode 3 and struggling to feel engaged at all. It not only feels like we've lost the plot, it almost feels like we've lost the world itself? I want to like it so badly but it's just not doing it for me :(

I'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts and if it's worth it to keep going. I might just be too attached to the og material because I've seen it too many times and have now created an impossible standard.

What order do you watch Psycho Pass in?

Recently began my Psycho Pass journey and it's been a wild ride so far. Really enjoyed the last Sinners of the System. I can't be the only one who lowkey wanted Kogami to just settle down and adopt Tenzing as his daughter and just forget about Japan, can I? 😅I just want him to be able to live in peace surrounded by people he loves

I want to make a custom print of the Psycho-pass Providence poster as a gift for a friend's birthday. I looked everywhere but couldn't find a good-quality image anywhere. Can someone help me find a better quality?

I personally believe that S1 ep11 where Yuki dies is the saddest, even though we don’t know her character as well as many others that die later in season 1 and the rest of the series. I just feel like the ramifications of Yukis death seems to hit the hardest for me. It definitely still brings me to tears whenever I watch it just because of the pure terror and hopelessness it evokes from Akane. What are your thoughts?

I mean masaoka, kagomi, such a good dub.

I am just getting into psychopass. I plan to watch to the shorter version. But I was thinking that after watching, let's say first two episode, then watch the respective added scene. Then watch next two episodes, then watch the respective added scenes... so on and so forth.

My main reason is that I prefer dubs. Both english and japanese are my second languages but english is more easier. So.

Just finished the first season and im not sure if i have the time or want to watch the later seasons. One thing that stood out to me was sibyl systems algorithm. The proceedure is similar to what kurt godel did to proove his incompleteness theorem. Basically when the system has a contradiction you add the contradiction to the systems axioms. I probably wont watch wondering if kurt godel gets brought up or somebody tells em that this system is proven to not be perfect like 200 years ago lmao

Hi guys, I remember a deep conversation about why Akane choose to work at the agency. Which episode was that clip? I can't remember at all. It is one of my favourite moments. Thanks

The game is supposed to let you skip text that you have already read and it did work like that for me. However, now the game won't save the text I've read after I've closed the game and start it up again. I can still skip the text that got saved before this weird bug happened but new text won't be saved as read. There's a user on the Steam forum that has the same issue.

Does anyone know any fix? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled and verified integrity of the game files but that didn't help. The game isn't really fun if I can't skip anymore.
