That's misleading and not saying much, since actually that show's second season was comparatively better and we've seen far worse than it on a regular basis, both before and after the fact. DTB S2, E7 AO, VVV S2, AGE 3RD/FINAL GEN, etc. P-P S2 being worse just adds to the list.

Its funny, since Kamui showed more character in a single episode of a 1-cour series more then Makeshima did in 2-cours for the original one.
>>
>>118754193
So the answer to improve a society as a collective body is to remove all the bad parts. Brilliant, never thought of it. Except that was the point of Sibyl in the first place, except now entire chunks of the population can be judged by Sibyl at once. Given how easy it is to abuse the Psycho Pass of others (simply threatening someone a gun at someone can turn them into a latent criminal no matter how sane they are beforehand) this can't be a good thing
>>
>>118754301
>Nothing contradicts it.
Nothing about any past ~evil conspiracies~ was ever hinted in S1.

Kamui finding a job at a fucking military drone factory, as police psychiatrist and many others, all as fake identities of dead children in a world in which every job needs Sibyl's aptitude assessment.

Not to mention that MWPSB was clearly the one charge of Dominators is S1E12, but now it's Sibyl that's oh-so-bad for not turning Dominators off, even if it was in their fucking best interest, which contradicts S1's reasonable nature of the system.

I could go on and on.
>>
>>118754531
*facility, not factory
>>
>>118754497
That's not what its implied. The goal is to remove Sibyl from judging society, because it will be as flawed as a collective entity as humans are parts that make up society.

>>118754531
You don't know what contradiction means. Sibyl was always in charge of Dominators, see the fucking scene where the Chief hardwires and overwrites her dominator to kill Kagiri near the end of season 1.

And conspiracies were abound with the cover ups with criminally asymptomatic people being integrated into Sibyl's collective consciencesses was springboarded from there.
>>
>>118754531
>reasonable nature of Sibyl system
>season 1
Never implied. Sibyl system in season 1 is constantly portrayed as draconian, unsympathetic, and a symbol of big brother/authoritarian control and dominance.
>>
>>118754675
Never implied? Wasn't it exactly this reasonable side that Akane appealed to, when asking for a locked-in Paralyzer? Wasn't it this reasonable side, that was comparing risk and reward in regards to revealing to Akane and Kagari's death?
>>

>Nothing about any past ~evil conspiracies~ was ever hinted in S1.
con·tra·dic·tion
ˌkäntrəˈdikSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: contradiction; plural noun: contradictions

a combination of statements, ideas, or features of a situation that are opposed to one another.
"the proposed new system suffers from a set of internal contradictions"
a person, thing, or situation in which inconsistent elements are present.
"the paradox of using force to overcome force is a real contradiction"
the statement of a position opposite to one already made.

The Toganes were acting out their own ambitions and goals when Togane's mother was integrated into Sibyl. This isn't contradictory to what was established.

>>118754764
Sibyl under that time was under the guidance of Touma, Makashima's old friend who was the current Chief of the MWPSB. Notice how when Sibyl is shown to have a severe CC itself, it only purges those brains to preserve itself when threatened by Kamui and Akane is watching on.

The system is try to preserve itself, and Sibyl only grudgingly went along with Akane's request. I still wouldn't call it reasonable, just pragmatic when the situation calls for it.
>>
>>118752641
No, Log Horizon was. It ruined a good show. Psycho-Pass 2 on the other hand was a shit sequel to a shit show.
>>
>>118754764
So why was Kagiri executed despite not having a CC to warrant a lethal eliminator mode from the dominator before Touma/Chief executed him anyways?

Killing Kagari was a ruthless, but reasonable decision.

Attempting to get Kogami out of the way to make sure Makishima survives was also reasonable.

Not turning off Shisui's Dominator... name a single reason, aside from stupid one like "they think they're too perfect", because that decision literally just exposes more flaws.

>>
>>118754613
There's a difference between usage authority and literally overriding Dominator to whatever mode you wish.

S1E12 makes it clear that Inspectors can add a person to the Dominator's system, allowing them to use it, since Gino believed Kogami's bluff with a reaction "what are you thinking!?", not "is that possible?".

Now, stripping away Inspector's authority would require Chief to do it, but... here's the trick.

Imagine you're an Inspector and don't know about the true nature of the Sibyl System or about the Chief. You report to her, that an Inspector is aiding a criminal, shot several Enforcers.

It's only natural Chief would at first question validity of the report, but then acknowledge it, and turn Shisui's dominator off. That's how it worked in S1.

So, any other suggestion, other than "the plot needed it"?
>>
>>118755115
I think it's less about enjoying it or not.

I just regret it exists.
>>
>>118755102
>Not turning off Shisui's Dominator...name a single reason
Because Sibyl judged it to be necessary. Just like it judged Kagiri to be necessary to kill.
>>
>>118755243
I suppose it didn't add much to the overall plot, no significant characters died, Akane is in pretty much the same position she was in as the end of S1, but I found it entertaining at least. I'm glad it exists, if only to fill the gap between S1 and the movie.
>>
>>118755267
Necessary for what, exactly?

They disposed of him, to prevent their true form being revealed too early, at the cost of his possible contribution to the society.

I'm not sure how having a rogue Inspector murder their workforce does them any good.
>>
>>118755043
We are getting scrubs soon, but no Minori in the Akatsuki/gold raid arcs.
>>
>>118755383
Sibyl's awareness let Shisui's dominator remain active for their own reasons, and that culminated in them gaining a new dimension of awareness and perception in the end.

So that was probably the endgame goal. Its more of the "ends justify the means" spiel in S2.

Like I said, Sibyl had its own reasons and justifications for doing this. The fact Kamui could also overwrite and hardwire dominators with his own skills also makes this even more difficult to implement.

Its not like Sibyl even always tells Inspectors or the rest of MWPSB the full story at times. Both in season 1 and season 2 its held back critical information from Division 1 and Division 2 Inspectors.

None were shown nor implied so as far as the viewer is concerned, there were none.
And since they were actively supporting someone that was threatening the thing that is most important for the Sibyl system, they better be some fucking good reasons.
>>118755842

That's wrong.
>>
>>118756017
>None were shown nor implied as far as the viewer is concerned.
That's your problem. Direct exposition is not always needed to be carried out blatantly for the viewer's benefit. It impedes and ruins a story by clumsy displaying motivation or need for a catalyst happening in the story.
>Actively supporting someone that was threatening the thing that is most important for the Sibyl system
A person which Sibyl can not detect or recognize until the very end. Kamui is the antithesis to Sibyl and its polar opposite, it does not know how to deal with him.

So it let things play out until it could evolve to recognize its own and Kamui's faults. That's a good enough reason for me.
>>
>>118756017
>That's wrong.
Nope.
>>
>>118756223
>That's your problem. Direct exposition is not always needed to be carried out blatantly for the viewer's benefit. It impedes and ruins a story by clumsy displaying motivation or need for a catalyst happening in the story.
Characters acting without a motivation is just bad writing.
As was already said, if their objective was gaining the mass-CC thing (which they didn't really want until Kirito was about to get killed) there were far more effective methods of gaining it, like having anyone who didn't have a huge revenge boner against Sibyl and access to explosives in the brain apartments with a dominator.

Chaika S2 had none of the magic that S1 had IMO.

Sibyl in season 1 was supposed to be the ultimate expression of utilitarianism. The greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. And if that meant individuals got screwed in a manner we would find unfair, then tough. This was expressed with the composition of the system being criminal brains. By the rules of justice and morality, they should have been isolated or executed. But because they were the best suited to work the Sibyl system, from a utilitarian perspective they should be used. But in Season 2, now Sibyl decides it needs to be judged, and wipes out a bunch of brains, thus reducing the capability of the system for no gain other than some sense of justice. It's never explained what caused this shift in behavior. Nor is explained (unless she just knew that only a fraction of brains would be killed) why Akane, who has been established to dislike the nature of the Sibyl system but doesn't want it simply to be destroyed, would go along with this plan. Nor is it clear why, even assuming most of the brains were never criminals, given their past collective actions why they weren't all (or at least a majority) found wanting.

Wasn't there a discussion on the flaws of the system that was extensively shown in the show. Are you even paying attention or are you insisting on putting your head canon there?
>>
In S1 we're told Japan has become a stagnant society. Everyone is so accepting of the Sibyl system that for example the study of history had waned. Because nobody cares about looking to the past for lessons for the future, when the present has already achieved the "ideal" that human society can reach and there's no improvement.

In S2 we're told people actually did draw from the past (from Jeremy Bentham's ideas) for inspiration for the future, and rather than accepting Sibyl as the ultimate achievement, tried to replace it. And this was stopped by your cliched assortment of a evil rich people conspiracy.
>>
>>118762311
The only flaw a collective Psycho Pass solves was the inability to scan Kamui, a one off science experiment. Nor was it necessary even with that to take the subsequent judgement of Sibyl itself and try to solve it by killing brains to lower CC. Sibyl has already shown it will make value judgements outsides of CC when it decided to kill Kagari to save its secret, it can just as easily decide not to kill parts of itself in the name of preserving its judgement.
>>
>>118752641
Why did the brains have a high psycho pass if they are criminally asymptomatic?
>>
>>118762571
either they stop being CA when Sibyl gets more brains or it was collective CC magic
>>
>>118762571
I don't think that was explained, but the only reason I can think of is that their CC rose as they assumed the role of Kasei and did things that went against the system as a whole. Although that shouldn't happen because from S1, we know they vote/decide on things together, so that shit that Togane's mom pulled off must with the accordance of the other brains.
>>
>>118762441
That judgement to end Kagiri wasn't made by Sibyl, but rather Touma/Chief, who overwrote Sibyl's control of the dominator to kill him when it intended to paralyze him since his CC was low.

Sibyl by its own admission is flawed.
>>
>>118762842
>That judgement to end Kagiri wasn't made by Sibyl, but rather Touma/Chief, who overwrote Sibyl's control of the dominator to kill him when it intended to paralyze him since his CC was low.

When Akane confronts Sibyl about Kagari's death, they don't say "oh that was just Touma's fault" (who would make a pretty good scapegoat since he was dead) but defend it as a necessary choice to preserve the system. And of course the next brain put into Kasei tries to do the exact same thing with Kogami.

>Sibyl by its own admission is flawed.
That's my whole point. Therefore they shouldn't really care if their "collective' CC is high if the end result is them producing better judgements.
>>
>>118762441
I don't understand why they couldn't just BS it and say he had a psycho-pass of 134325235. Unless they're bound by some computer autism to stay internally consistent.

>Unless they're bound by some computer autism to stay internally consistent.
They broke that rule with Kagari, Kogami, and Makishima.
>>
>>118763329
>>118763335
To be fair, it seemed like they were planning to do that until Akane convinced them not to. But I still don't get why they had to "judge themselves" to judge him at all.
>>
If Togane was working with his mom the whole time, why didn't he ignore Akane and shoot Kamui at the dock?
>>
>>118763485
I just don't understand the concept of a "collective" psycho pass, especially one where they can instantly tell which individuals are causing the high CC, which makes me wonder why they couldn't just judge those individual parts in the first place and skip the need for a group score.

I wouldn't accept that in Season 1. In Season 2, where getting a Dominator pointed at you or seeing someone else getting shot with one turns you into a latent criminal? It become a contest of finding a worse system.
>>
>>118752641
Not worse. But not as good. It felt underwhelming and seemingly accomplished nothing other than killing off characters we hardly knew much about throughout the series. Plus, the finale sucked. Akane shooting out the tires of the truck she was riding and Kogami chasing Makishima through the wheat field is incredibly memorable to me. Meanwhile, we were fed mostly backstory of Kamui rather than personality which made me not care too much about his death in the end. And Togane's freakout was more funny than shocking. I still liked it
>>
>>118763964
>characters we hardly knew much about
at least they gave her a "THIS IS MY CHARACTER PLEASE CARE ABOUT ME" scene 1 episode prior

i guess that's what you have to do when you have 11 episodes

then again, if you have time restraints, why waste time on pointless shock value when you have hungry chicken coming up in 2 episodes?
>>
>>118762441
Kamui became scannable when group scanning became allowed. Were you even paying attention at all?
>>
>>118763630
I don't think they thought it through, to judge a collective, they need to judge each individual. If Kamui is composed of many people, it should read many CCs instead of no CC. It's like pointing the dominator at a group of people.

I doubt we'll see Sibyl judging a whole group of people, it defeats the purpose of having inspectors/enforcers as the eyes of the system.
>>
>>118764531
>Kamui became scannable when group scanning became allowed. Were you even paying attention at all?
How exactly do you think this contradicts what I said at all?
>>
Why was Kamui able to shoot Momma Togane? Shouldn't she be CA?
>inb4 "muh Sibyl group CC"
Brains playing inside Kasei are separated from Sibyl. This was stated in Season 1, when Kasei plugs into her chair, learns Sibyl has decided to tell Akane the truth, and says she won't understand the decision until she's in a jar again.
>>
>>118764547
You seem to be missing the point. Akane dared it to solve the omnipotence paradox and thusly made it possible to judge Sybil itself.

>Nor was it necessary even with that to take the subsequent judgement of Sibyl itself and try to solve it by killing brains to lower CC.

Kamui was the setup to make Sibyl a judgeable entity.

So you completely ignored the part where I said there's no reason Sibyl couldn't make itself judgable, and then never act on the judgement, which would completely fit with their previous behavior of value judgements.

Wanting to be the perfect judging machine is a reason for it to want to make itself judgeable.

Using that word is just going to make people point out S1 Sibyl's stance on perfection.

>>118765062
Because as I already said, Sibyl is a pragmatic entity. Those brains may give it a high CC, but the cost of "administering justice' to them is the loss of their judgement. The whole reason behind putting some awful criminals in Sibyl in the first place is that their contributions to the system outweigh their own crimes.

When Sibyl literally says just trying to make itself more and more complex will never achieve perfection. And then boom, what do we have this season? A complex "group" addition.
>>
>>118765100
Brains that cause a high collective CC are the ones Sibyl added because they were needed. CAs that had committed crimes and were caught and added don't "compromise" the system, they're the entire point of the system.
>>
>>118765151
It as something along the lines of "we're not perfect"and "we're never going to be perfect"
Not going to screencap this because fuck you, everybody knows they said it.
>>
>>118765184
There is no "paradox." Sibyl can judge itself and give a good judgement, judge itself and give a bad judgement, or be incapable of judging itself. Those are the options, there is no paradox present, and certainly not the specific omnipotence paradox.
