Psycho-pass 2

More than a year after the events between Kogane and Makishima, season two of Psycho-pass follows Tsunemori Akane's stint as inspector at Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. In the last season Akane chose to obey and work with the Sybil System, an omnipresent sensor which monitors the mental state of the people. Akane has gained an understanding of the system which some from the bureau do not fully grasp. Her unconventional ways of apprehending instead of executing criminals with only slightly higher Crime Coefficients has been looked down by some.

Despite Akane's abilities and understanding of how the system works, a new nemesis is working elaborate schemes to challenge Sybil once again. He leaves behind the message "WC?" written in blood. What's more, the man does not register on the Dominators, leaving the inspectors and enforcers at a loss as to what they're supposed to do. This 11-episode series is a direct sequel of the thought-provoking Psycho-pass. Akane faces her biggest challenge yet in a phantom enemy challenging the very existence of the Sybil system.

Tougane Sakuya and Tsunemori Akane

After that disturbing revelation in Psycho-pass, I wondered how they're going to pull off a sequel. Makishima was an effective antagonist so topping him off with a more cunning enemy will make or break the series. I thought Akane already asked all the necessary questions when she faced the Sybil, but there were still some that were brought up in Psycho-pass 2.

If you were scratching your head at all the information in the first season, season two will not disappoint as well. I also thought Akane was going to be a frustrating lead without Kogane at the helm, but she handled the

lead role very well. Admittedly this series is less intense than season one, but it's as though-provoking and disturbing as the first.
