It’s a cruel opinion, but I had assumed for a long time that Psycho-Pass wasn’t popular on its own merits. I had figured that folks were so starved for a third season of Ghost in the Shell that they’ll take something that only vaguely resembles it, like dating the sister of the girl you really [...]

It ends in blood, bullets and oats. Blood, bullets and oats sounds like a good name for a heavy metal band consisting of only farmers. Then again, there are no farmers in the Psycho-Pass universe. Just robots. Nothing more metal than a band made of robots though, am I right? …Anyways, I digress. Trying to [...]

I liked this thing. Psychological crime noir stuff. Weird criminals with cool gimmicks. Oppressive cyberpunk whatevertopia. Guns that make peeps all explodey. Comfortably cynical views on government. Good stuff, man. I really liked how things wrapped up. Makishima’s scheme is thwarted. While the dude’s base ideals were pretty understandable (Seriously, fuck Sibyl), he also recruited [...]

So I’ve seen a bunch of mixed opinions regarding the ending to Psycho-Pass. Specifically, how it didn’t really end, how the system still exists, how it didn’t go anywhere, etc. Basically, how I felt about the ending to (and consequently, the entirety of) the other Noitamina show, so to speak. Underwhelmed and disappointed. People can [...]

Them hyper oats, maaaan, them hyper oats. Started with a bang, ended with a whimper. In the series of B-tier Production IG shows Psycho-Pass was certainly better than the 550 minutes of vaguely robotics-related boredom, but doesn’t really deliver anything outstanding. Now, I wrote a thing or two about this show in the past and [...]

Why do I have the feeling that this isn’t the end of Psycho-Pass? Why do I also have the feeling that Gen left things as open ended as possible for a potential second cash grab? After 22 long weeks of sweat, blood, tears and a lot more blood, Psycho-Pass final draws to a close…for now. [...]

That title is referencing a poem by T.S. Eliot, by the way. Y’know, just in case you didn’t notice. After all, you can’t expect the general public to understand a literary reference without namechecking the author, can you Gen? I thought the finale of Psycho-Pass was a little underwhelming.

It was inevitable that it would come to this, and thus Psycho-Pass' final episode sees Kogami facing off against Makishima in a no-holds barred knife and fist fight.  Can Akane reach them in time to stop this conflict turning lethal? Yes she can, as it happens, although in the ensuing confusion Makishima manages to slip away once again.  Rather than immediately taking Kogami into custody,
