There is also subtle hints at the end of the episode that say maybe Kougami does not really care about Akane's psycho pass reading for now, as he is getting more and more obsessed with Makishima. I just hope things won't turn too bad for them XD

Tomomi said that but I think he's wrong. Kougami knows about Akane's ability to keep her psyco-path clean (he said so as much in this episode) so he's not helping her just for the lulz. Rather he seems to think she has the talent to learn this stuff and to use it without going the darkside (unlike him).

In a magazine, it was explained that in PP's society, people's ability to remember faces have regressed. Apparently, people can meet a person once, and then forget what they looked like quite easily. I believe it has to do with the Sibyl system/stress care.
That's why nobody remembered what Makishima's face looked like. It's true that Kougami is becoming obsessed with Shogo, and THAT is the reason he disregarded the possibility that Akane's CC could rise. To be honest, it would have been better of him to first tell Gino and warn Akane of the risks. But I don't think that thought even crossed his mind, he just wanted to be able to have her help him investigate Shogo. It's not that he's being selfish on purpose, he's just got tunnel vision and probably hasn't even noticed how he's acting.

Once this becomes evident you can get a better grasp of Gino's character.

I guess I was expecting something more from a glass wearing smart looking guy

It's not exactly a good example, but we used to memorize telephone contact numbers but now we have our phones to do all the recording and memorizing for us. Will there be a day where we even need devices to recall people face? Hmm...scary thoughts

So it turns out Sibyl actually is relatively new. Akane is ~2nd generation into the Sibyl system, then?
That last 5 minutes...I'm really enjoying the whole Shinya-Akane-Nobuchika-Tomomi dynamic. Still wishing for a bit more Yayoi, though, haha. Interesting thing with the chairman. I've had that kind of thought myself. How much can a person replace/(cybernetize?) before you're no longer you? Considering he enjoys taking the 'souls' of others to cultivate his mind (hmm...), where does his 'soul' reside if he cybernetize his brain? |

Though really. It could be that this could be seen in a somewhat sinister light. Of qualified people to do police work, despite the population of mentally healthy people being much bigger...you still see 2-3 times as many people being recruited into this division of law enforcement basically from mental institutions. It almost makes me think that the Sybil system is confining the people who a thousand years ago, would be the most innately proficient and capable warriors a population produced. Extremely smart people who could see into the minds of their opponent, and figure out the most effective way of killing them. The kind of people who'd be celebrated as the most effective lower level officers or NCO's in armies. In this civilized time? They're anachronisms kept on a short leash for their innate capacity for violence. Quote:

I do think it's a rather lame explanation for why it was so difficult to get a composite sketch of Makishima, but as it's a fictional setting, I suppose it's best to accept it as reality and move on.
Over-all, I'm enjoying Psycho-Pass more than my initial impressions led me to believe I would. With the number of recent shows Gen has done that have really stood out due to their stark contrasts (Madoka contrasting with...Nanaho...Zero contrasting with Night), I was perhaps unfair in my initial reaction that PP seemed solid, but lacking any of that "oh wow" effect I got from the aforementioned shows. Now, I'm thinking that there's a high likelihood that by the time this series is over, I'll consider it to join Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex as Production I. G's (co-)seminal work.

What I found interesting is Kogami is already aware of Makishima's persuasive power. He's of course not aware that Makishima is interested in him. However I wonder how much of a leg up this gives Kogami on Makishima.
Will Makishima go after the other enforcers or just Kogami. I also wonder what role Akane will play in all this. I am sure she is crucial.

Ultimately, though, the most important characters probably are Akane and Shinya. So it's only fitting for the narrative to focus the most on them. Gino, Tomomi, and Kagari have all had good character development so far if you think of them as "major supporting cast" rather than "ensemble-cast in a Power Rangers sort of way".

I do not think the cyborgs brain has started to deteriorate, rather his personality has deteriorated. Reminds me of what I heard many years ago, the father of someone I knew was into hunting and he told me many rich guys by the time the have the money and free time to go to hunt in africa are too old and the guide is the one that captures the animal so the hunter can shoot it point blank. But in the psycho pass world hunting has been probably banned which must be very frustrating for mr cyborg which probably used to hunt in his older days, he has a body which can still go hunting buy he lacks prey, enter Makishima and the rest is story. But if his brain had deteriorated his speech and train of thought wouldn't be as clear.
