If I believed in mandatory education, I would put Psycho-Pass as required course material. It is: "Society and Humanity: An epic summary of lessons thusfar." Pay attention kids, the criminals run the system, humans are livestock, fear is freedom, subjugation is liberation, contradiction is... Wait, that's the 102 course material. We have to get you into thinking about cartoons as serious business, first." Joking aside, there is a sort of "four corners" of Anime legends. Three of which belong to Gin Urobuchi. Psycho-Pass, Madoka Magica, and Fate/Zero. "Welcome to humanity, here is an animated guide. Don't make contracts with stuffed animals, kings are leaders who embody the will of their followers - by the way be careful how much you sacrifice for a miracle, and the reason why you feel like the system is criminal is because that's who runs it." Then Kill la Kill "actually, an alien parasite runs the world and learn to become the Man Empress of Mankind." ... You'd get it if you watch If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device.

@@Aim54Delta I wholly agree with you, on this. Anime like Psycho pass And Monster, are great representations of the human psyche, and society. People generally watch things for entertainment, but forget to assimilate the values imparted. And even if they do, they for get the most important aspect. Implementation of those ideals in our lives. People watch and forget. Ideals, values, and virtues are present, not to be admired, but to be followed. The higher value of righteousness, must always take precedence over the (relatively)lower value of practicality.

It took me multiple watches to even get into how impactful akane is. The emotions created by Makishima and Kogami are more obvious because they are seeking to enforce their will over others'.

It was society's choice to live under the Sybill system but I couldn't accept being forced under an AI thumb deciding what's best for me. Or at least let it live long enough for laws and a new type of enforcement for them could be established. It's feels so lazy to have something decide what's right and wrong without you having to test your own moral code.

Makishima wants to destroy Sibyl. Kogami wants to weaken Sibyl's control on the final decision. Akane wants to move Sibyl forward till it itself understands its own flaws. notice how each goal becomes Orders of magnitude more complex than the last. shows you how childish and selfish Makishima in the end really was, basically insulting his illusion of grandness. You can argue that "Makishima wants to destroy Sibyl to free the people'' but we all know the truth is he just wants it for himself disregarding anything or anyone else.

A video on gino would be great I don’t think he hated enforcers in season 1: his anger was more towards kogami and his father (spoiler fuck you) and akane being around them and learning from them made him jealous. If I remember correct he says something like “kogami was always your favorite” to Masaoka, he also talks about how he was hurt by his best friend and father becoming enforcers because he feel like they abounded him. I feel like his “hate” for enforcers is because he blames Sasayama on kogami demotion and his “lose” of his only friend. In conclusion I don’t think gino hates enforcers or akane in season 1 but If I remember they said he was bullied because of his dads latent criminal status till kogami came to his defense. He lost his dad and his only friend And it hurts him and it shows, he’s just jealous that people were able to get closer to his Father and friend then he was able to

There's also a lot of insecurity and fear in Gino's actions. He's the son of a Enforcer, his only friend is a Enforcer and his aptude was to be A FUCKING COP. Anyone would be really aware of the possible implications even without the bullying in the childhood. Gino cant stand sane without dehumanizing his dad and friend, because if he acepts them he's afraid all his traumas and insecurities will drag him to be a Enforcer (what actually does happe in the end). The way he acts is way more a move to protect himself than actually hating / being hurt / being angry at them.

Pretty great video on one of the best female leads in anime, at least in season 1. It's been awhile since I saw the animated movie and first two seasons on the show, haven't seen season 3 yet, but it's seems like the most you can do for akane's character now would be to make her a mentor perhaps to an entirely new main cast of characters. It would make sense considering her main goal now is to help develop society to a point to where it doesn't need civil. To me the biggest problem is there hasn't been any new characters that have the complexity and chemistry of the previous cast. Hopefully season 4 will change that.

Akane Tsunemori is absolutely the most cutest, genius and full of potential ani-female character ever. But they did her dirty in season 2 for not making her character development as good as she was in season 1. And they legit just made her AFK in season 3 (locked up) 🤦 Even though she ain't special to Sibyl (criminally assymptomatic) she was the most genius and useful, most realistic female ani-character ever. Imo, the s4 protagonist's ability (the rain is falling) didn't make any sense, so unrealistic how can someone just wear headset and listen to blurry tv sound, was capable to construct the crime scene before it even happened? I know it's cool but it's just doesn't feel right tbh.

I would consider Akane to be Lawful Good/Light on an alignment spectrum. Overall I think that the Sibyl system or at least the status quo that it upholds is firmly in Lawful Evil, and that was the case even before learning the truth, a system that judges people by their thoughts and not their actions is extremely unjust and is also the root cause for every single other flaw within the system the very foundation of society under the Sibyl system is flawed. The reasons Akane has for supporting the system are not wrong, and if she was not willful enough to try to reform the system then I couldn't consider her to be Good, but there is value in trying to reform a system which is flawed at it's very foundation, as the consequences of destroying it may be to great to bear. Her motivations are in the right place and although she cooperates with Evil she does not do so cowardly out of fear, but rather conditionally out of compromise.

Great video! I stumbled upon your page after watching the First Inspector movie and seen your discussion video on Akane and with how the movie ended Akane will be working with Mika again probably in pp4. Would you ever do a character discussion on Mika? I don't like her character at all (partly because of how she'd go against Akane in pp2 and had a hand in Aoi's death) and I know she's basically a counter to Akane so it would be interesting to hear a discussion video from you about her character. I know this is a reach but do you think Akane would ever find out Mika had a hand in her grandmother's death? Keep up the good work! It's great to see people still talking Psycho-Pass.

While I do like Akane I have problem with the fact that she basically keeps fixing the system temporarily. some person breaks all their weapons goes on a killing spree and causes mass panic Sibyl ignores it and eliminates anyone who knows or questions the truth. By the end I was hoping she would completely fix the system. Artists or consumers of any kind of not accepted music, art , etc are being forced to rehabilitate or worse. People whose hues rose due to seeing cops making bodies explode may be subject to the same fate. After fully understanding all this and the fact that the system is run by psychopaths who didn't get caught the people she was meant to catch gave Sibyl actual blows.
@ProfessorViral3 жыл бұрын
That's actually what I love about her. I'm admittedly more aligned with Kogami or Makishima; I would rather tear down the system outright. But Akane is able to see the longer game. It's not perfect, Sibyl will continue to hurt people while it exists, but she avoids the chaos and suffering that would follow a lack of Sibyl as well. And she personally despises it, but as someone who was once complacent sees its necessity and benefit as well. It's unsatisfying, and I love the confidence of the crew to make that decision for the narrative of Psycho-Pass
