That was one awesome episode and a promising start to a good arc. I am actually surprised that Makishima was involved in so many cases and he seems to have fun to building new murderers. His latest victim(?) is one creepy ojou type. And her art was...disturbing at least...
It was fun to see Akane interacting with her colleagues and this shows more of his personality. Now that Kougami is more determined than ever to find out the truth of his partner's death, I wonder how this new murder case will impact him. Next up, school time!

Btw, funnily enough I remembered another reference of such character in one of Agatha Christie's book last night. I still can't remember the name of the book or the villain who Hercule Poirot slowly came to recognize as someone who was a master at recognizing the vulnerability of the person in a certain situation, and then created that push needed to have those people commit murder.

We don't really know what precisely it is that the CC is a measurement of. But Monir raising the "lie detector test" made me think that what the CC is measuring might be simple guilt (or at least a person's guilt factors in considerably into the score). It's just quantifying precisely how guilty people feel about themselves and/or their actions. But what if you run into a criminal that's completely amoral, and hence feels no guilt over his or her actions? Or what if you run into a criminal that believes that his end goals justify the means, and hence while he recognizes some of the means are harmful to other people, he doesn't feel guilty over them? One or both of the above may well apply to Makishim.

it seems Kougami knew the real culprit from years ago is still out there, thats why he remains and waiting for a chance to solve the case
i guess most of our psycho pass will be cloudy after seeing that artistic statue...

Spoiler for Psycho-Pass and MariMite image comparison:
In both cases, you have an all-girls school with a certain air of refinement to it. In both cases, you have a taller, respected, older, smooth-talking, long-dark-haired beauty. In both cases, you have a shorter, charming, twin-tails girl that looks up to and admires her. At least somebody on the Psycho-Pass Production committee was clearly influenced by MariMite, and decided to darkly invert it. As a big fan of MariMite, I found this quite chilling and effective. What I think Gen is good at is taking these almost iconic images that anime fans tend to have warm mental associations with (these yuri/shoujo-ai archetypes, magical girl aesthetics, etc...) and showing how you can have this same imagery but with a much darker reality behind it. It's very effective. It would be kind of like a comic book where the lead villain has the same appearance, mannerisms, style, and strengths of Superman, but is a brutal killer. Not Bizarro Superman, but something much more disturbing than that because the visual similarity is greater.

In other words he has an imagination and dares to buck the trends and establisments. I think hes this generations Yoshiyuki Tomino although perhaps far less influential. |

I'd honestly love to see Gen take a harem anime and turn it into a horror story. I think that could be loads of fun.

Those girls are there specifically to keep their scans from getting cloudy so one should assume that there's a few potentially bad apples there.

Good point. I had forgotten that this subversion has already been done.

Also consider the dialogue the serial killer uses on the victim here. It's that same soothing, comforting, vaguely inspirational dialogue that "Onee-Samas" tend to use in all-girl school anime shows to try to uplift and mentor their most cherished juniors. It's just that this time, there's something very dark and menacing behind it... Spoiler for Madoka Magica comparison:

I'm going to randomly bring up Homura, since she's not exactly one, but definitely has that kind of intention that Gen did extremely well with. And because I can. Interestingly, she often gets slandered by her own fandom in fanfiction, portraying her exactly as that kind of creepy ojou type that just annoys the crap out of me Trash.

Not that I don't like Gen but come on people, Jinrui deconstructed the whole "yuri all girls school" setting just 2 months ago in its last arc (and it was the arc that was popular with otakus and boosted the BD sales) and I'm sure there were others before it.
