At least it explains why Ginoza is so stoic. He just don't want to give off any hint that he might be a criminal, and also wouldn't want to repeat his father's mistakes.
In the words of Uryuu Ryuunosuke, this is pure art, and is soooooooo coooooooooooool. Next episode, time to infiltrate the school Spoiler for picture:

Sibyl does not detect criminals at birth, eg. Kagari was 5 years old (ie. someone who can think independently). Now we see why Ginoza is really trying to stay within the CC limits, to disprove the genetic link to CC, if it really is hinted that his father became a (latent?) criminal. As for Makishima and his new partner in crime, it seems to me the reason he's against the system is because the system is doing a good job of suppressing peoples dark desires, which are he thinks are people's "true" desires and the way of ultimate happiness. Sibyl tries to find the best way make a person happy within the bounds of contributing to society (ie. don't kill each other), whereas Makishima find the best way make a person happy ignoring all rules of a "normal" functional society (eg. killing some people because at least I'll be happy). The fact he knows his way around the system seems to be the bigger issue. |

lol, that creepy bitch reminds me of a deconstruction of a typical fixture of many yuri anime-- namely, the aloof, beautiful, and highly revered ojou type that often comes off as creepy due to the way they seduce their love interests. And I must say I found that enjoyable, since I frequently hate those kinds of characters. This episode reveals them for the sociopaths that they are. =p
And lol at Gen loving tragedies more than the comedies.

I think that Makishima is not a revolutionary. He is a sociopath who takes pleasure in watching the darkest side of the human mind at work. Like jeroz, I also thought of that famous quote from The Dark Knight.

him or joker who is worse? i think they are both very similar to each other but unlike joker that really go out and declare himself in the open, makishima is more calculating and manipulating bastard that only most of the time stay in the background, only come out to manipulate the "victim" to kill other so i think he is worse...

Sure, the Dark Knight was hardly pure white either, but he stood for something universal: justice. Unlike the Joker, Makishima is not as crass, not as outwardly violent. Makishima reminds me more of Hannibal Lecter, a highly dangerous man with an extremely twisted intelligence, and who also enjoyed toying with other people's minds. |

I see Makishima as the human version of Sibyl, except he enjoys nurturing people's dark nature.
As for the Sibyl system, as darker crimes like this becomes more prevalent due to Makishima, I can only see society deciding to add more of Sibyl's "eyes" to the street. |

thus makishima want to break the system by provoke every person to give in, giving them what they need to realize the "desire" even though he know that would just cause chaos in the society, truly "just want to see the world burn" thus the comparison to the joker, even though i do agree his calculating manner is similar hannibal lecter though... |

This show definitely don't pull their punch with grotesque displays. The last one was particularly frightening for me for reasons i can't quite pin down. Maybe it's the perverse nature of the murder or arrangement of the body.
I have to admit i was really creeped out during the last part. Makishima feels like the genie in the lamp for twisted individuals, making their wish come true by providing tools for it. The nature of his action though doesn't feel like he's trying to break the society that sibyl system have create but more like he enjoys creating and watching these homicidal maniacs.

Fantastic episode, really need to read that Shakespeare play now.
Actually Makishima reminds me a bit of Moriaty in the BBC Sherlock, who also happens to be behind all crimes. That being said Moriaty doesn't work for me because he is portrayed a bit too over the top. Makishima is captivating and hence it's easy for me to see why he would be able to seduce someone of an already weakened state or someone with latent criminality to commit murder. Of course I guess that is bad news for the enforcers. I agree with the comparison of Makishima being similar in a darker way to Sybil System. How that will come out to play I have no idea.

While I can discern and understand what makes the scene grotesque, the layer of animation distances me from the visual horror in front of me, to the extent that I actually feel nothing at all, despite comprehending the horror. Truth be told, animation rarely horrifies me. It's just not "real" enough. Or maybe it's because my psycho-pass reading is trending a bit too high... Hmm... Anyway, back to the point: Yes, the arrangement of the body is definitely one aspect of the horror. It alludes to an inverted crucifix, which invokes references to black magic and demonic evil. Then of course there is the macabre nature of the murder itself, involving dismemberment and mutilation of the poor girl's corpse, which invokes the repugnant act of violating another person, in life and in death. Then there is the act of presenting the murder as a work of art, which makes the crime even more disturbing. To present violent death as something beautiful... the mind and our sense of moral propriety would automatically recoil in shock. Worst of all, is the fact that the worker could not even tell he was looking at a real body. He was of course aware that it was creepy but he did not for a moment realise he was looking at something that was once alive. Think on that for a moment. Then recall what Mido tried to do in the previous episode, to create avatars that represented an ideal so well that they become indistinguishable from their original forms. This episode's murder served the same objective, to achieve ultimate fidelity to an absolute ideal. In ordinary situations, that may well be a noble goal. Under Makishima's hands, however, it becomes horribly twisted, like the poor girl crucified in reverse for all to gaze in awe. |

However the only exception to not being scared by animation would be the early scenes with Johan as a child in Monster. Something about the atmosphere of those scenes really freaked me out...but nothing else in anime ever has.

As of now, it's very hard to get a good grasp of Makishima's true nature. He is wrapped in mystery and could still be anything (I don't think we can rule out the possibility he is some sort of revolutionary yet, or at the very least an anarchist). I'm withholding judgment on him until we learn more. At any rate, he has definitely been a very interesting villain so far. Fascinating, even. Quote:

Does anyone here find the Chief more off putting than Miss KnK villian? Again, Psycho Pass inadvertantly creates more killers and makes more victims.
