Psycho-Pass 2 Review

Darker and More Disturbing. 

 Psycho-Pass was a great anime to watch, mainly due to it's style and interesting ending, Psycho-Pass 2 was slow at first, but starts to pick up momentum later on. So how does this 11-episode season compare to the first?

 -Spoiler Alert: This section contains spoilers from the first season.-

STORY-  After going his separate way in killing Makashima, Kogami is now a wanted criminal by the Sibyl system. A year and a half later, now experienced Inspector Akane Tsunemori leads Unit One after former Inspector Ginoza's reaches latent criminal state. Now, they must face a new criminal, Kamui, who cannot even be registered by the Sibyl system. His goal, like Makashima, is to expose the Sybil system. However, what makes him more unique is his twisted methods in doing so. Does he innocently convinces people to join his cause, or can he use an authorized person's organ to use a Dominator? All of these questions will be answered and expect more plot-twists about the Sibyl System and some of Unit One members's true goals.

 Personally, the season starts off pretty slow and it was unfortunate that Kogami didn't make an appearance, despite hinting that he's been up to something during the final credits of season one. Also, I was hoping to see more of Ginoza, who has reached a psycho-pass of over 140 and is demoted to Enforcer, but sadly he doesn't get any development. The story mainly focuses on Akane, Kaumi, and new character Mika, the rest of the group are just left empty.

CHARACTERS- New characters include Mika Shimutski, whom was introduced during the final episode of the first season, Sho Hinakawa, a brilliant hacker, and Sakuya Togane, a man who resembles Kogami in some ways. The villain, Kamui, is interesting to watch but later in the episodes, he becomes less realistic due to a prior accident. He just feels like a plot device to move the story along. The new characters are interesting, especially Togane, and are a breath of fresh air. 

There are lots of things to anticipate for in Psycho-Pass 2.

PRESENTATION- Psycho-Pass 2 looks and sounds the same in terms of presentation, which really great to see again. However, compared to season one, Psycho-Pass 2 is more violent and disturbing. You'll be constantly seeing blood everywhere, from tortures to beatings to a point where a shot from a Dominator leaves a large pile of blood, it's gory this time around.

"What Color?"

OVERALL- Despite its issues, Psycho-Pass 2 is an interesting continuation of the first Psycho-Pass, which dwells into the reliability of the Sibyil system, and how much security can it provide against. criminals. Also, Akane recived some great character development througout the season, but sadly the other would have benefited too. Overall, if you're a fan of Psycho-Pass, watch it; if you are interesting in the futuristic world Sibyl governs, check the first season then this one. Hopefully, the movie will get dubbed so we can see more of Sybil's actions and the return of Kogami.

- Psycho-Pass 2 is darker and disturbing than the first. There are scenes with gruesome violence, profanity, and some sexual themes.-
