I'm aware that a lot of people really like Psychopass. The consensus is that Psycho-pass was great, many people's favorite anime, but the second season was terrible.
I think that that both seasons were terrible. As far as I'm concerned, every theme Psycho-Pass had was done better in Shin Sekai Yori.
The main reason its bad is because of monumentally bad characters, a plot that doesn't manage to be satisfy in the end, and an idea that isn't well explored or all that well justified.
The first two reasons would take a long time to explain, but the as for the 3rd reason, let me make two observations, and maybe fans of the show can correct me
1. We only ever see the sibyll system massively fucking up. How could anyone at the end of all this believe it to be a good system, when Akane has to circumvent it constantly. The show could've shown how 99.9% of the time it works flawlessly, and we'd have an interesting moral choice: are a few hundred people being unfairly asploded and comitted a fair price to pay compared to the current situation where Japan has 400 homicides annually and 60,000 people is Prison? The show never asks, and we don't see Akane ever considering it. her decision at the end is completely inexplicable
2. The Public safety bureau only ever seems to deal with violent crime. the show is nothing but Homicide. What do they do with less crimes like Illegal immigration, theft, stalking, tresspassing, embezzlement? we know there are political dissidents in the country. maybe it's handled by a different department, but it's something we ought to know about. do ceos get exploded for tax evasion? it seems like the dominators are the only tools public safety has. Why does this show treat criminality as though its exclusively psychotic serial killers and also completely normal people that Sibyll thinks are psychotic killers that need to be euthanized?

The premise was retarded as fuck while being mashup of a lot of previous ideas. In the beginning I kept thinking that halfway through this shit is going to turn around and become Very For Vendetta in Cyberpunk setting, Makishima was so much based on V, at least conceptually. But nope, can't have genuine storytelling because it needs to be a franchise because that's what Urobutcher is good for. Writing is filled with plot holes, characters are basic as fuck and dumb on top of that and everyone being an armchair philosopher literally is the most hilarious attempt at 2deep4u I've seen.
If you want to see good Cyberpunk anime or anime that has lot to say about society, watch the ones that are 10 times better, even fucking pretentious garbage shit movie like Harmony is better with more originality.

you guys will bitch about anything. But the Redlettermedia of Anime says Psycho-Pass season 1 is one of the best anime ever made, so you can fuck right off.

why did you make 3 posts in a row to derail my thread? this is the most intricate trolling I've ever seen.
>The consensus is that Psycho-pass was great.
If great in your vocabolary actually means mediocre or average, then you're probably right.

Let's face it, Psycho Pass is utter regurgitated garbage and anyone whose tongue hasn't died off knows it.
BUT so are many other anime that come out on top.
What does this teach us?
1. A huge chunk of anime watchers are anime-only
2. That huge chunk has no big standards cause they can only compare to other (most popular) anime
It's not simply that those people have nothing to compare the works to either. You can watch Psycho-Pass without ever having seen another anime and unless you have the attention span of a cricket, you will notice very fast how flawed the entire series, the premise and the conclusion are.
Meaning, you would have to be a very obstinate person about defending your pleb point of view on this series (referring to both S1 and S2).

Every single hobby thingy does this more or less.
