This might be the most negative review I have seen of this movie. Then again, I don't remember much of the movie though I read it was made to end franchise due to the focus Akane and Kogami get but in a sense that they were written as a broken couple who have to deal with how befriend again.

Then again, I don't really see potential of Urobuchi saving the franchise considering how his name was used in Revenger that felt like an otome with his common tropes.

Okay I'm going to admit I have a personal bias towards this movie. I went to see it five times in theaters I thoroughly enjoyed it I thought it was well written. My biggest issue with it is it left me with more questions and that's not a bad thing. here is a little bit of criticismspoiler[ I also did feel that Kai deserved better. And arta's Dad was complete crap as a human being I was almost cheering after his wedding speech him getting offed|| but all in all I appreciated what it did for failing a gap in the story.

My biggest complaint where the heck is My season 3 dub Crunchyroll I have been begging I want it give it to me.

I actually thought Season 3 was some of the best of Psycho Pass but didn’t like this movie. Also, the timing of the rotoscoped action scenes seemed off to me, as if the characters were demonstrating the moves rather than actually fighting.

It's ridiculous that Akane is only now starting to question the Sibyl System in a way that's more substantial. And that it's only now happening begs the question: what straw finally broke the camel's back? Because by this point in the series, she's a seasoned inspector. She's seen what the Sibyl System is—and more importantly, isn't—capable of more than a few times by this point. That this case, which she seems more disconnected from relative to cases in previous seasons, was the one that seemed to change Akane the most just doesn't feel believable.


Did the reviewer not notice that the straw that broke the camel's back as it were is that the Sibyl System has only become more authoritarian over the course of the series, culminating in the dissolution of Japan's legal system?

Or that Akane has progressed to a point in her career that she should be moving on to a high ranking Ministry post, only to see via Stsushi Shindo, that people in that post are just as much a part of Sybil's corruption as any of the brains in the jars?

Pretty disingenuous to say that it came out of nowhere.
