Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System Case.3 - Onshuu no Kanata ni＿＿

Shinya Kougami continues to wander the Southeast Asian Union (SEAUn) away from the eyes of the Sibyl System in Japan. While traveling through the Tibet-Himalayan Alliance Kingdom, Kougami encounters Guillermo Garcia—commander of a paramilitary group attempting to unite the local factions and bring peace to the war-torn nation. Wary of joining another mercenary group, Kougami declines to join his cause, but agrees to be driven to the nearby Tibetan capital by one of Garcia's men.

However, Kougami's plan to remain uninvolved is short-lived when a bus of refugees are ambushed by armed guerrillas. Among them is a half-Japanese, half-Tibetan girl named Tenzing Wangchuck. Impressed with Kougami's fighting prowess as he single-handedly takes the attackers out, Wangchuck requests him to teach her how to fight so she can take revenge against the warlord who murdered her family.

Knowing first-hand that there is no turning back to the person you were once you take a human life, Kougami is initially reluctant to accept her request. But faced with the girl's desire for vengeance that mirrors the haunting abyss inside his own heart, will he train her?

Psycho-Pass(S1) is often regarded as one of the great shows to come out in this decade. There were two major factors behind it's success. First it's interesting portrayal of a future where AI's have the ability to monitor a person's emotion creating the Sibyl System which controls the humanity(in Japan ofcourse) and the interesting characters notably 3 major ones; Makishima Shouko , Kougami Shinya and Tsunemori Akane. While Makishima Shouko was the Fan-favorite and Tsunemori Akane was the series' main focus, Kougami Shinya's Character wasn't as acclaimed as the two because of his "generic" personality and the motivation of revenge. His Character arc ended at ... the end of S1 when he finally got his revenge but did it really gave him his salvation? Psycho-Pass Movie firstly showed him after the events of S1 where we found the answer : no.
And this movie serves as his character progression arc where he, someone who's just wandering off without any destination cause he already got his revenge(his purpose in life), finds a new goal.

THE ACTUAL REVIEW: (With Minor Spoilers)

Story : 8/10.
This movie can be considered as a stand-alone movie as despite being a Psycho-Pass movie, neither the Sibyl system nor any major characters from S2 and previous Psycho-Pass SS movies are present, aside from Hanashiro Frederica who was introduced as a shady character in the previous movie.
This story expands the world of Psycho-Pass, a post-apocalyptic world where no form of long-term-peace has been achieved for decades showing us viewers the importance of Sibyl system in this world.
Following Kougami's aimless journey this story is more of a aim-provider for the character who has already completed his goal(revenge). A revenge-story thread is introduced between two characters that Kougami meets in his journey where his character not only teaches the consequences of revenge while he also learns that there's more to life than just a singular goal of revenge.

Art : 6/10.
The art was good with unique character designs and depiction of mountainous region of himalayas but animation wasn't as impressive for a Psycho-Pass movie.

Sound : 7/10.
Good sound tracks, not hampering the experience of the movie.

Character : 9/10.
Kougami is already a good character and him finding a way past revenge is the best part in the movie.
Hanashiro Frederica while being shown as a "good" person still retained a sense of mystery throughout the movie.
Tenjin is a lovable girl and the character aside from Kougami to have a major development. She's a sad character who has witnessed the horrifying nature of humans as a child and served not only as a student of Kougami but was the reason behind his character progression.
Garcia, the main antagonist of this movie is a simple character. He creates a fire then extinguishes it as a fire fighter. He's a peace-seeker. He knows the importance of peace and would take any measures to achieve peace. Thus his conflict with Tenjin is created due to a fire. And he does complete his goal making him the sole evil in the society who has to be removed.

Enjoyment : 10/10
I enjoyed every part of the movie. Kougami and (imaginary)Makishima Shouko's conversation were the best parts along with the character of Selim,the kindest man in the story.

FINAL VERDICT: 8/10
Being a Psycho-Pass and Kougami Shinya's fan this movie was my cup of tea and boy isn't it a delicious one. This movie is just below 70 min. so, expecting a compex story isn't a wise thought, just enjoy the character of Kougami and the story of Tenjin and get hyped for Psycho-Pass S3.

Mixed Feelings

In a word: Mediocre.

Classical story of fallen hero that redeems himself by taking care of a child. You´ve seen it countless times in different mediums. And when done correctly it can work pretty well.

But Case 3 does not do it very well. The characters are all extremely one-dimensional. Even Kougami, who is a very interesting character in the first and second seasons, gets here reduced to just "revenge is bad so I won´t kill anyone anymore". And he takes that motto to ridiculous lengths.

One also wonders why someone who is renouncing violence travels to the hottest warzone in Asia. It really makes no sense. ... This story would work much better if he was running AWAY from violence, and violence found him anyway. But instead he´s travelling from warzone to warzone! Retarded.

Then you have villains whose plan reminds me of the South Park gnomes business plan:
1 - Collect underpants
2 - ???
3 - Profit

I´m still scratching my head trying to understand what was the villain plan and how doing what he does is supposed to make him rich.

While Case 2 could have greatly benefited from additional 30-40min or running time, here in Case 3 I was glad the nonsense was over quickly.

The final action scene is cool, so I guess there´s that.

This movie is pretty much a sequel to the first movie (the full feature) and if you thought that one was so bad it couldn't get any worse then this movie is the definite proof that it can.
The movie follows the former enforcer Shinya Kougami after the events of the first movie in SEAU. He takes a ride to the Nepal-Himalaya alliance, yet another country in a middle of a civil war. He rescues a girl who happens to be half-Japanese and who wants to learn how to fight, purely to take revenge on the one who killed her father, then somehow everyone ends up ... shooting everyone else.
This movie is awful even by American standards. It also has really no real connection whatsoever to the Psycho-Pass world. In fact, the term "crime coefficient" is only briefly mentioned once in the entire movie, probably just as an excuse to make this part of the Psycho-Pass franchise. Also, the only character from any prior installments that appears in this movie are Kougami (technically also Frederica Hanashiro, who appeared in the previous Sinners movie - for five minutes). And forget about dominators or any advanced technology, you won't find any of that stuff here. This is purely a generic action/war movie, nothing more.
Regarding art and sound - Nothing too special, same style as ever.
