This greatly increases the chances of a fourth season. https://piunikaweb.com/2020/03/30/psycho-pass-3-spoilers-after-credit-scene-from-first-inspector-missing-on-amazon-prime-video/ I really dont care at this point. This series has turned into a hot mess after a fantastic season 1. True...but I enjoyed both season 2 and the movie...more than the third season and its sequel movie. It may be a mess but it is still way better than most other seasonal anime. |

| I wasn't the biggest fan of season 3,it had potential but felt like it was going everywhere at the same time,with vague antagonists and a clumsy semi conclusion, Then came this movie that i wasn't sure about (or three ova episodes like i watched them) and at first it felt the same,just an entertainment like the other psycho pass movies But the third part of the movie was actually a really good ending like wow,if i could complain i would say it was a bit rushed but it aligned everything almost perfectly and it was a real thrill rush, This morning i woke up thinking i was done with Psycho Pass after this but now i just want more and would love a season 4 in the coming years.its been what 8 years now and i just can't let this anime go nor it won't let me. Anyway solid 7.5/10 for this movie and 6.5/10 for s3. |

| I like it, better than season 3... 8/10 for me Azusawa is an entertaining villain, good thrill, good end but there are still unanswered questions. I always like Arata as protag but that mental trace power is kinda BS, having everyone (kinda) has their own calm and happy end is good tho also... so many ship tease. Honestly, i don't want S4 that much (unless the curiosity of seeing Akane being an enforcer) having to meet the same PP1 characters again seem boring and repetitive, idk for how long they intend to keep extending the franchise unless they want huge finale to stop Sybil System forever. The characters deserved break, just let go Kogami and Akane, let them get married and life peacefully, end lol. |
Onii-chan said: Did I miss something? I think they still don't explain why and how akane was imprisoned. The theatrical release of First Inspector has a post-credit scene of Akane saying she will explain what caused her to go to prison. Season 4 or movie sequels is a probability with a cliffhanger like that. As for the movie and Psycho Pass 3, I experienced the story of this season as a grounded detective story with the following story elements: conspiracies, social connections, politics, social commentary, the battle of wits, and crimes that lead to an atagonistic magnus opus. A lack of the philosophical element exists in season three. There was no Makashima nor Kamui Kirito; no antagonist whose end means are based on idealistic principles. Instead, the main antagonists (Bifrost's Congressmen) had more tangible goals such as revenge or influential power through the Japanese economy and political system. Why I believe the writers have chosen Psycho Pass 3 to have a plot that is more of a detective story is that season 2 tried to replicate the philosophical finesse of the first season, but the outcome was a fumble, so to not repeat the similar mistake the third season tells a story that is closer to good cops/bad criminals, which a plot idea like that has a solid track record. An impressive reaction I have for the writers is they have turned Mika Shimotsuki - the worst character of Psycho Pass 2 without a doubt and I heavily railed about her in the discussion post of the last episode of the second season - to become a redeemable, leading figure as Chief Inspector of season 3. A huge relief; a significant turn around from the writers. All of the characters, new and old, are satisfying to view on screen. A typical detective story may not please every viewer and may not have the brilliant, witty moments as season 1, yet I find Psycho Pass 3 as a respectable show that should be on a person's plan to watch list. |

| This wrapped up season 3 fairly well, hoping this isn't the end. |

| Didn't think Yayoi would still be alive. Akane getting back to the Unit aswell! I feel like Season 3 and First Inspector were just a rehash of what Season 1 tried to do but not as good. Shogo Makishima had this whole reasoning behind what he did and what made him Criminally Asymptomatic but here we have Arata ... a guy with the ability to use it as a hero power of some sorts. The series tried to fit in too many organizations and cases at the same time that it felt like it was just throwing stuff at us to make it look more interesting. Despite being a lesser version of what Season 1 tried to do it was still alright and better than Season 2 though. It looks like I didn't enjoy it from my arguments above but I actually did, just think it could've done a lot better. |
 |
| Psycho-Pass is back baby! Season 3 definitely impressed me, not only were the new characters interesting but they also showed us the old cast without completely outshining the new guys. Hope there is a season 4 at some point. |
 |
| I don't have the energy to write how weird and illogical this was. They ran out of good ideas apparently at the best animation studio in japan. 5/10 |
    |
| It was alright. The best parts were the shotgun dominator and Kenyuu's sexy voice |

| Damn this certainly was amazing. Especially that ending I must say. Really amazed by the continous development of this franchise and the world that this takes place. With such an ending, I really do wonder what might happen next in this story and would love to see a fourth season as that really could happen even at this stage of the story. Yea quite impressive in all! Really enjoyed watching this movie/3 episodes combination. All in all a great watch! |
 |
| I am glad Yayoi is not dead...and she and Shion were together in the end. I think the ending was pretty good. |
 |
| But seriously can we talk about the kinda-Beyblade bug fight? I'm DEAD. |
 » Escapism. |
| My heart, what a heartwarming ending, I love how Akane got her resolution, and of course, the new head chief of the bureau. Man the line that Arata dropped, the fact that there is a trigger even though Sybil knows everything, there is definitely more to Sybil than we thought we knew. I hope there will be other seasons to follow. |
Habakuk said: So about Kei. He played the game as the 13th inspector to find out about what? Just trying to investigate on his own or I guess the truth behind his brothers death? But what was he thinking playing the game and giving the Ai data to Homura? Did he just trust him? Kinda weird? What do you say? In the end the only secret he found was that the Homura family was somehow involved? Do I remember that correctly? Didn't that other congressman say that to him to try to act for him? Don't really understand what you asked me, but my point is ths that in the season Kei was very important character on the level of Arata while it was obvious Arata was MC. And Kei becoming Inspector felt like it was important develpoment for his character, but in the movie it just didn't have much impact. And just who is Homura, he was just thrown into the movie llike it was normal. Mb it was all with the idea for continuation/ending in mind, but otherwise all of it feels questionable. |
 |
Habakuk said: I was just wondering what Kei was thinking playing inspector and not telling anyone. And I also don't quite understand the last thing he said to Shindo. What secret? As far as we know he didn't find anything. I was wondering if it was just the fact that he was an inspector or the thing the other congressman said to him. Something like Homuras family is involved in his brothers death. Homura is for sure mysterious. I'd say him being an inspector had a huge impact. He was the one giving Homura that AI data. Ok true. he had big impact helping Homura. I should probably phrased it the other way, in season 3 Kei had the role of second MC, really close to Arata, but in movie he was mostly a support. To be fair the movie was about Arata. |
|
Habakuk said: Yeah, you're right. I still wanna know. lol What do you think that secret was Kei mentioned. You know their last scene together when they both said they have secrets but they will tell the other one day. Or I guess it's been a while you've seen the movie. Shindos secret is obviously that he knows about Sybil and him being criminally asymptomatic. Yeah, it has been a while. But i think it is kinda both, the info about his brother and him becoming inspector. It's all probably connected in some way as the whole series is. Hope that one day we will see the actual ending. |
|
| Pretty decent conclusion but I found Azusawa just another discount Makishima. We know that he wants to join the Sibyl System but his reasons don't convince me. I'm surprised that everyone important is still alive and I like that they gave Shion more personality that even in the first season she need it. The bug fight was HILARIOUS hahahaha. About the new characters? I'm a bit disappointed that Kei becoming Inspector was not so important in the movie but at least he still trusts Arata and he even fight Kougami. I'm proud of him. Pretty good conclusion to S3, Idk why they don't include this along with S3 since the start lol. 7/10 for the anime. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| It's pretty clear they were going for a homage to the mid-season 1 climax here, similar to how the Kei/Torri confrontation earlier was a homage to S1's Akane/Makishima confrontation, but extending it to a 2-hour runtime was most definitely not the way to go. It's exhausting. The only really notable part was how they seemed to be aware of how ridiculously OP they made Arata. Like, nice try and all making him a damsel in distress... but that ship has sailed. |
| I have mixed feelings on this (and s3)… technically I think it was really quite good (animation and sound, even character development), it’s just the oomf that’s missing, idk. It didn’t feel like psycho pass until the last episode, that’s when I got really engaged. Like I loved the showdown between Arata and the villain, it reminded me of Akane. Also the last bit gave me hope for a s4! Maybe this was just a buildup to a new season? I still think it was overly convoluted but I liked the movie about the same as s3... so I’ll round up to an 8/10 I guess. Have to give props to how they miraculously fixed Mika as a character after all lol |
 |
| I really hope we get a 4th season. Akane as an enforcer is something I'd def like to see and all the original cast + Arata & Kei together would be badass. Eoussama said: My heart, what a heartwarming ending, I love how Akane got her resolution, and of course, the new head chief of the bureau. Man the line that Arata dropped, the fact that there is a trigger even though Sybil knows everything, there is definitely more to Sybil than we thought we knew. I hope there will be other seasons to follow. Yes, I loved that line! And how we say they're still responsible for pulling the trigger. It really makes you wonder why Sybill would even add a trigger and not just have the dominator go off the second a target/criminal is in its sights.

| I enjoyed this movie. From the beginning it was a cat and mouse chase. Season 3 built up to this because of the new characters. It also did a good job bringing back the old characters for cameos. It answered a lot of questions and also left enough things open ended for a 4th season. |
| OMG! The rod is in Yayoi's.... heart area? Koichi! Kisama!!! Maiko and Kei. Dat call. The Homura family developed Bifrost. Koichi. Kisama! 1/26. Dem Nanomachines son. Oh snap! Irie calling Mao out. Lockdown. Its them. Karina. Shino bringing up the lipstick as a present from someone. Oh snap! Karina called Arata first rate. And that was the end of PP3. It was good. Obviously not better than Season 1, just felt different in a good way. Shout out to Pillbug for that amazing fighting scene. Nice seeing Arata parkour as usual. So since Arata didn't give Karina that lipstick, it really is telling that she gave Arata that cologne. lol With that said... Shizuka was the real MVP. He freed Akane. The GOAT and true MC of PP fucked up Kei. Kei was stupid. If he couldn't beat Nobuchika back in episode 2, what made him think he could challenge the GOAT and true MC of PP? Kougami had to tell him don't even try. LMAO After Case 3, I wanted Kougami to reclaim his birthright. I'm glad he's back, but I'll have to wait a bit longer on that. Happy to see Kougami be the one to pick Akane up. Lastly, the waifu Frederica looked amazing as always. I'm grateful to the staff that she wasn't a one and done back in Case 2. Her design was too perfect for her not to come back. Hope we can see her be badass again in the future. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Finally reach the end (i will probably read some of the prequel manga). I have to say the last 15 minutes blowy mind with everything coming together. Also it teases so much for what is coming. I hope we get the sequel (and probably the end) of the series soon. I want to see if they will take down the Sybil system or it will evolve into a next level after become public (or both). 9/10. |
| if i wouldn't watch it after pp3 end, FI probably would feel for me more like a movie. watching it after PP3 end made me feel i just watched episode 9 lol. lol that drones battle was cool. i feel the characters little losing their affections as.. characters. maybe it's because kei did nothing in this episode, and arata only slept and were chained to the chair. apart from that this episode had very good tension. killing the bureau chief, yeah that will mean one less brain to sybil lol. |
| Well, I didn't dislike the 3rd season+ this, but it wasn't really good either. Mental Trace is just as unexplained as ever and is a pretty stupid "ability". I tried to explain it "scientifically" through the world but I just can't even if I try. Mika is there just to provide funny faces and nothing else, it seems. Kogami, Gino&Co are more or less reduced to just dudes who can fight really well. S3 felt more like a procedural police drama than Psycho-Pass proper, and the movie is basically a long locked building hostage crisis that has been done before. The isolated cases in S3 were fairly interesting to follow, but the overall plot is just meh. Bifrost apparently has been existing for years ever since the early phases of Sybil but we're seeing its effects only now? Okay. |
| The modded pillbug has become my favorite character of this episode lmao |
  . |
| That was a nice action movie, but It's a bit disappointing as a conclusion for the 3rd season. Kei's 'betrayal' leads to nowhere, the Bifrost and round robin story are just thoroughly skimmed, and what was the male Pathfinder talking about with Kougami.. something about avenging his kids or something? I wish we got to learn more about their past. I was also expecting Shindou's psychic abilities to be somehow linked to the Sibyl system or at least get a soft sci-fi explanation, but I guess it's not. In conclusion, an anticlimactic and rushed ending for the 3rd season IMO. 7/10 I still appreciate getting more Psycho pass though. So yeah I'm still interested in the next movie. |
| Okay, apparently this is split into 3 parts yet all the posts here are talking about the whole thing. Does this just mean MAL split it recently, and didn't think that this would put all the spoilers into the discussion of the first third? I'm lucky I noticed what was going on and scrolled past all the posts. Anyways, apparently I alone on this board am 1/3 of the way through, but all I can say is that I'm not impressed. Especially with the drone battle, which was some cheesy garbage. But in general it feels like they threw a lot out the window just for the sake of getting more action, and I don't expect them to justify how it was all possible by the end. --------- Am I the first person to get a first post on a popular series that aired 2 years previously? I would say something about this episode, but instead I'd rather gloat. I seriously think that I might be the Neil Armstrong of MAL posters right now. Who else besides me has gotten a first on an episode two years after it aired? I'd like to thank Jesus first, and then my family, and then my friends... Umm, so I guess I should say something about the episode though. Yeah it sucked. My early concern after the first episode was that this would be some hype action BS that throws out all the worldbuilding to this point. It seems like my concern was correct. I guess the action scenes weren't bad though, aside from the absurdity of fighting a robot hand to hand. --------- Ending was alright, I whined a bit in the midpoints but I think this episode at least brought closure. Complaints are still valid of course, for example I will never be able to take kung-fu fighting against a robot seriously. But I did enjoy how they tied up the Bifrost arc with Sybil's victory in a long chess match that we were unknowingly watching this whole time. It made this a bit more interesting than a mere procedural drama, although still far inferior to season 1. |

| This movie is the optimal choice for mindless action. It's two straight hours of competently animated combat, parkour and explosions. On the other hand, the plot isn't overly engaging, and overextends itself by having to wrap up all the variables and subplots this seasons didn't resolve beforehand. Bifrost were laughably underused as well, amounting to nothing more than an irrelevant shadowy collective promptly used and disposed of by a double agent. For some reason, this season also dabbled extensively in interpersonal drama and political intrigue, the latter of which shouldn't have meant anything under Sybil to begin with. The core themes and plot of a Psycho-Pass season should be neatly compressed into a nice package and delivered to the viewer, not obfusticated with a thousand new plot points and events that just screech to a halt abruptly. |
