Blame the studio, they want to keep jerking off Psycho pass because for some reason people keep watching it but it suffers for the olde trick of Japan of forcing something to be popular by sheer publicity, everyone knows Psycho pass has not been good since Urobuchi stop supervising it that's why the studio dont promote it with his name, also the "super power" is just the "mental palace" of sherlock holmes only in cyberpunk fashion (its explained as such in the series), now for some reason american anitwitter is watching it because it tackles the matter of immigrants so its easy to find neo brained takes using the series as a example even when people forget that the only reason the city of psycho pass is a dystopian one is because it was needed because the world went to shit with a war and they decide to take a isolationist policy to prevent being affected by it, in the movies you see how bad it is and why there is so much people trying to enter the city because the other options is neo philippines and that place is a shithole with a Sybil System
I fully 100% blame the studio. They want to do a fucking soft reboot when there are threads to be explored and characters to still develop and relationships to bring to fruition. I know absolutely why they hid 90% of the cast behind 'muh mystery' and had fucking Akane framed for murder?! How in the ever living shit does that even work? Yeah, she's got a really low Psycho Pass due to her insane will, but murdering someone? How does that even fly in this universe? It is the most piss poor excuse to side-line a character and unbelievably disrespectful. Can we stop having the 'Inspector became an Enforcer' shit? It worked with Ginzo because his arc and characterization were exceptional. I'm still shocked 'Oh she's suspected in a murder.' Nigger, if her Psycho Pass is like 5, she didn't do anything. You think if that character committed a homicide she wouldn't just go black instantly? My god. Its so bad.
Akane is portrayed as a force of will, whose unflinching faith in law and the belief that people need to protect it would NEVER let her stray from the path and making her an 'ex' inspector is fucking insulting and shows they want to sideline her right off the bat.
They absolutely KNEW the second they introduced the old cast the new one would pale in comparison so they had to only brought the most boring characters back. I'm still seeing delusional replies 'Oh, its not too late, there's still time to introduce the old crew!' on Reddit and Anime forums. I have Amazon Prime and I'M Pirating this shit. They don't deserve a ratings boost.
Don't even get me started on the Anti-Immigration shit. My eyes rolled in the back of my head and cracked open. Everyone is anti-immigration because Japan is literally the last peaceful country left on the planet, which is why Akane struggles with the existence of an omnipotent hive-mind controlling everyone's fate and just shutting them down to actually working with them because she knows the darkness of the world that is out there, and its this massive conflict. The problem with immigrants is that they're all from war torn countries and so psychologically traumatized all of them are latent criminals (sorry, they would be) and people are terrified just by being around them they might become criminals themselves. Which is why Japan is incredibly isolationist.
It makes no sense for any of the enforcers or inspectors or anyone in that society to be pro-immigration. When the entire world is a war-torn hellscape, yeah, no fucking shit you don't want immigrants. Why WOULD Japan want immigrants? Its already testing its program in other nations, why would it increase that load in its own?
This has been a massive failure IMO and I hope it bombs. I'd rather it die than get a soft reboot again and have to, yet again, see characters I don't give a fuck about doing shit.
If only urobutcher was here he would have known what to do.
Yeah, not any of this shit. And what is with this fucktarded format? 8 episodes that are 45 minutes each? Wut? Is this trying to conform to Amazon or something?
I mean, for me, Season 3 is pretty straightforward. Play up the strife between Akane (who hasn't been onscreen since 20fucking15) and Shimotsuki. Develop the characters more. You've expanded the world outwards, use it.
Nope, soft reboot. Same thing the faggots in the west are doing. You're not reinventing yourself. Whatever writer you've hired is not good enough. And their symbolism will date the ever living fuck out of this. Why is this even a thing and not a separate anthology? You know you can't compete with the old characters, just have it happening in a different part of Japan or something. But they didn't do that because they know they can't compete on their own. Fucking hack trash.
