Denominators is the given limit of a numerator, might want to check spell-check and put it as Dominators. Probably want to spoiler that too.

So many sodding plot holes.
Spoiler:
Where are the stun batons? Didn't Investigators learn basic self-defense? How can an old man who was infirm for several years use one hand to THROW an adult? Why did the people just stand there while the Inspector was being strangled? It should be common sense that if law enforcement is pointing guns at you(the investigator firing squad) you should slow down. I understand that people have difficulty making rational choices in a trying situation, but there was an entire group of individuals and at least one of them should have thought this through.

Like I said it depends on how the next episodes pan out. If Sibyl did orchestrate the clean up it would kind of legitimatize the nonsense that was the massacre but it also depends on how Sibyl portrays it. It would be really stupid on Sibyl's part though because she's covering up the fact that she can't properly judge people by massacring innocents before Investigators who are capable of questioning why they just butchered the hostages and an Investigator(like Tsunemori). However that doesn't change the fact that Mika is mindbogglingly incompetent for prioritizing integrity over people's lives, she's like a worse Ginoza from S1 because Ginoza at least acknowledged an Enforcer's experience in a crisis. I don't feel like this scene was handled right, it felt like things were too convenient to occur.


Spoiler:
I agree, but Mika is like how Akane was, she trusts the system too much. But like you said, this show has a thing with skimping on details.

I haven't quite seen the episode yet, but goddammit jwub4, learn to spoiler properly. The shit you want to hide is coming outside and you're not really spoilering anything you want to.

Well now, that was just maddening to watch. Ep4:
Spoiler:
He's just an unarmed old man (before the baton). That one guy had the right idea, but shouldn't have been mentally challenged and ought to have swept the legs.

The episode feels more like it was meant to be a shock episode, but not for the viewers, but for Mika. It's like the staff of the anime purposely wanted to show how indoctrinated a society could get. It would be normally sufficient to refer to the victims as sheep, but in this case, I think calling the victims "cows lined up for slaughter" would be much more fitting. There's always that one bovine that attempts to resist its impending death before quickly being killed.

All in all, the episode feels like it was meant to accelerate the plot (so plotholes galore, or maybe it would be better to equate it with potholes), considering there are only 11 episodes in total, according to MAL.

Spoiler:
Then they should have directly referenced that. I had the same thought that they were trying to show just how insane it is to have justice mandated by a machine composed of psychopaths who pull the trigger for you. That the insane Sibyl might as well be pulling the trigger rather than the so called law enforcement. Instead all I saw was a incompetent police work and some really good taste in lingerie.

I would've had the citizens come out,running and crying for the MWPSB's help(Division 3 panics a bit but then decides Sibyl is always right) only to get mercilessly gunned down, then I would make Risa stumble out in the middle of the slaughter(indistinguishable because of the gore from the perpetrator splattered on her) to see how her "justice" is being carried out before being caught in the crossfire(personally I wouldn't have killed her).

[color=#9400d3]I'm going to say this: I started watching this season going into it thinking it was not going to anywhere as good as the first one. I'm happy to say I was so fucking wrong. So far Psycho-Pass 2 is holding up to the first one, well at least for me it is.

Story seems to be keeping to the same things that that made the first one so amazing.

I want more.

Psycho-Pass 2 is still going strong despite how forced episode five felt. The plot..."push" is extremely noticeable now.

The current Psycho Pass 2 hasn't faithfully represented anything from the original in my opinion. I'm still holding on hopes of a comeback but this is already halfway in.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually agreeing more with WideEye and pihip than anyone else in this thread about PP2 in general. Episode 5 was by no means bad, but the constant shock factor from the blood and guts and average level pacing just doesn't put this up to season 1 standards, in my opinion. Still holding out hope, but this and Aldnoah Zero proves that anything made by Gen Urobuchi needs to be written by him as well, otherwise it's not going to be good.

I dislike the new inspector SO MUCH. she annoys me and I'm kind of hoping she will die.. but I doubt it will happen. . .

I love Akane as much as always and my desire for Kougami to return haven't disappeared. I want them to get together and make out.. The new enforcers looks cool enough though I have bad feelings about tougane. Well most would if they watched the opening. I'm glad that Ginoza and yayoi is still around ; _ ; if anything happens to them I know I'm going to cry so much. Especially now that Ginoza started to resemble his dad SO MUCH. He even wears his jackets and I'm all FEELS...

and URGH Kamui... I wonder what that guy is plotting and how things will turn out. guess I can't do anything else than just waiting

I'm actually liking the new inspector. I mean, I hate her as a person, but I approve of her as a character. I'd really like her if they didn't feel the need to make her feel like such an rookie. I especially loved Kasei's quote about her after their meeting. Got a good laugh out of that one. I'm also a fan of Kougami's replacement, but I think he needs some more screen time to really sell me.

I like the new villain overall, but the individual things he's doing don't really suite the things I like about him, and tend to be overly dramatic. I'm not expecting too much out of him at this point with 6 episodes left on the clock. Honestly, I feel like the main problem with this season is the damned 11 episodes. I can see a lot of potential, but I think we can all agree that it feels forced/rushed at the moment. The pacing is just not where it should be.


Spoiler:
On a side note, for the sake of pure speculation, calling it now, Kamui is dead, and is currently a Robot and/or AI. Or a hollow I guess seeing as the shows obsessed over them so far.

I'm following up with what Art said about Urobutcher. Episode 6 wasn't bad, but it didn't have that signature Psycho-Pass gleam to it that the first season carries. 6 was nothing special.

At this rate, Bahamut will easily beat Psycho-Pass 2 for the title of AotS.

Spoiler:
Pretty disappointed with the lack of Kougami this season, as I was expecting s2 to reveal what happened after he had left. I have a feeling he'll will start to become (I hope he will) more relevant towards the very end of the season, and then the movie will wrap up his fate.

For a split second that Kougami might actually be the mastermind behind the entire WC movement but then I realized how ridiculous that motion of thought was, considering his personality at the end of season one.

Spoiler:
You never know if he is going to return!! I'M WAITING FOR HIM TO COME BACK!!! but What is concerning me is all the body parts and such Kamui had in the hide out also the scar we get to see of the end of the newest episode!!

He might be someone else behind that face of his. Also what is concerning me is that he knows Akane so well or give hints to knowing.. I'm starting to wonder if he is kougami with a new face and voice /not hoping for it cause Kougane have to become canon/ but who knows. Also I kind of feel mixed about Tougane, should I trust him or not. We now know he wants to taint Akane's psycho pass :C
And I want Akane to realize as soon as possible that dominators CAN kill inspectors which she in this episode seems to think they can't!

Spoiler:
So far, all we can gather is that he's the lone survivor of a plane crash that had over a hundred other kids and some adults in it, and he's trying to make everyone's psycho passes clear, to the point of being invisible.

Spoiler:
Because god knows if they have a roster of the alibis that the killer is using and the name, the exact name that EVERY single perpetrator has been chanting shows up on that roster-nobody bats an eye. Especially Sibyl who supposedly monitors everything through the eyes of the Enforcers.

Oh and Sibyl chooses not to kill what is improperly judged in her system because it would admit that the system has faults

Spoiler:
Yeah, Kamui has been evading shit way too easily thus far, and in ways that make Makishima's attempts more believable. I can somewhat understand how Sibyl is acting though. I always assumed they were extremely xenophobic and metathesiophobic (yes I just looked up what the term for fear of change is just to sound more pretentious), hence why they're not taking any direct action against Kamui so far. Because he personifies the very concept that makes Sibyl so flawed and could easily change the way society is run if he ever leaked out the truth somehow.

Spoiler:
That picture is Kagari's face when he's getting shot by Sibyl after she forcibly changed the Dominator to lethal by the way. About the not killing innocent people in Sibyl's system thing.

Except that Sibyl acknowledged that they were an ever changing system that grows by absorbing criminals. Lol leak out the truth? The town is being overrun by drones with MWPSB logos stamped on their front and a majority of two Divisions are dead, if nobody is questioning the way Sibyl runs things by the end of this anime then by god something is wrong. More wrong than it already is. Thinking about this series is making me suffer.

Yes, I recognize that picture, I'd be damned if I didn't.

And if you ask me, the only thing wrong with season 2 is the fact that Urobuchi's not writing it personally. It's Aldnoah Zero all over again (except the stand-in writer isn't as bad as the guy who did AZ and Boku no fucking Pico).

Up to episode 8 now. This has been rather underwhelming.

Not going to lie, I actually really liked the latest episode(10). Akane is honestly the only thing making the second season noteworthy, and I've found I've loved her in the last 2 episodes.
