Anime/Psycho-pass

That was an Esoteric Happy Ending if I've ever seen one.

"Aren't you happy for them?" Urobutcher taunted.

So, when do the subs come out, normally?

If you're in the US/Canada you can catch the show on Funimation's player, comes out at 12:45pm on Thursdays I think (well, if you can get the player to work, it's been wonky lately). Otherwise I'm sure you can find the ripped subs a day later or so.

Back to the hologarms, I like nanobot idea but I rewatched the second episode's mall scene and saw another thing that bugged me, when they pause so the older guy can ask Akane how she's holding up (why is she tired anyway, does the generator take energy from the person?) you can see that his arm is a bit outside of the suits arm so why isn't it visible? Guessing the holograms must be able to make someone invisible as well, at this point I just want them to have a little techno-babble bit so I can stop obsessing over all of this. xD

thursdays at 12:45 pm via funimation, methinks. Edit: frack, ninja'd.

You know.

I think it's more of a virtual thing; Note how the Dominator displays information directly onto your retina - Everyone might have the necessary implants. Hence a lot of things are just 'overlaid' onto your field of vision.

That's somewhere between creepy and awesome. It's like they live in an Augmented Reality that practically amounts to a Matrix, yet is still not a Lotus-Eater Machine.

I found it especially jarring, what they did with the clothes. How does that work? Does she wear some suit underneath? Especially, how are heels affected?

Yeah, the clothes are a bit WTF - even Star Trek makes its characters wear the appropriate era clothes before stepping into the holodeck.

I like the nanotech theory in regards to clothes.

Clothes are probably nanotech, yeah. Otherwise they wear whatever and just change the superficial design, but that doesn't make sense given that you can touch your cyber outfit.

So we got a new episode and a new crime.

Not much to say about this one. Just a bit of world building, oppressive society and Kogami

Okay, fine. Those dominators (look) cooler than phasers, but I bet they get jammed up a lot.

Other than that, nothing in this episode really grabbed me.

Booooooooooooooooooring episode. The old man is still my favourite character.

The fanservice at the beginning was just trying too hard. -__-

OVER THE LINE.

ENJOY THE FANSERVICE MONGRELS

Cool Old Guy is the only good in the sea of bad that is Psycho-Pass.

\*lethal eliminates*

Him and the personal holodecks and the floating Kuragehime jellyfish program and the food dispensers. And the flying cars! (Were they flying cars?)

Gonna keep out the guns (cause I still think they're too much) and the clothes system (unless they're made out of nanobots).

Hey, I like the Dominators. And I'm sure I'll like the clothes if I only understood it a bit better! There's also Kana Hanazawa, she's awesome.

(Honestly, though, this show isn't exactly good, but it's definitely not bad either)

/begins psuedo nerd argument

Pfft. Those Dominators need a ***fing wifi signal to function (so they'll probably get hacked in a future episode).

Yeah, the gal with the big boobs is cool. Not as cool as the Cool Old Guy (not yet, anyway), but cooler than all the other named (human) characters thus far.

/ships Cool Old Guy with Big Boobs

Edit: Correction. My mistake. Kana Hanazawa isn't Big Boobs.

At first I thought they were rolling out cables so they could plug their guns into an ethernet cable and laughed my ass off (what did they do in the end, use the cable to make the cart a mobile wi-fi hot spot?). Didn't really like the crime this week, maybe I'm so used to crime shows where there's always a half dozen twists that it seemed too simple here but I did really like Akane's observation at the end (partially because it proves that she's at the very least paying attention to the world around her). SO, didn't Gen promise to not kill Akane off in the first three episodes? Does this mean she's fair game now? D:

Huh, Kimidori-yellow sounds kinda redundant to me. Especially for a flourescent green colour...

Huh, so it can guage the threat level of machines too? I wondered whether it would be able to conceptualise that threat.

Yeah, so this is just some of the shadow cast by the system. Obviously the bare minimum of what we're all expecting.

Yeah, it is hard to hate the latent crimanals working as cops when they're more the kind of people we can relate to and the people who do rely on the system - i.e. that cop with glasses and a suit and the factory supervisor - demonstrate that they can have less actual compassion at times.

No comment on the latest episode yet?

The plot seems to be taking shape, it seems. The mysterious guy from the first episode is finally back too.

That's an interesting net. Plot is getting underway. Spooky Boogie is dead right? It looked that way, but I'm not certain.

Cyberspace looks neat, but everything else in this episode makes me worry for the show's future. The villains are overblown, their plot is ridiculous, and the events are contrived

I kind of agree, but for me the Cyberspace seems thrown in there and unnecessary too.

Well, if whatever Gen does has a significant impact on the industry then I'd prefer this didn't fail, even if I can't say I like it all that much so far.

I could easily see producers blaming it on the lack of "moe" or even Gen deciding what he needs to do is dive right into the Grimdark in future (this show has been gritty but not grim so far). Eh.

But it is his own fault if what he wants to do is show off the future rather than give us a story.

Yeah. Well, it is still entertaining, so I will keep reading, but certainly is not something I would expect from Urobuchi. Well, considering his record, I can still believe this to be a fluke or whatever. This is 22 episodes, isn't it? There is still time.
