I like moe myself, but that doesn't mean I need it in every anime show I watch. There's no harm in the people behind Psycho-Pass basically saying "We want this show to be different. We want it to stand apart from most modern anime shows. One way we aim at achieving that is by avoiding all discussions of moe during the production of the show, since moe is an exceptionally common element in modern anime." Quote:
1) There's no good, in-canon reason to think that the gun is giving recommendations instead of giving commands. 2) Going by the wording used, it sounds more like its giving commands. So why are people just assuming its giving recommendations? Because that would make the system more defensible? Maybe the system isn't meant to be defensible. And like I wrote before, a crazy system doesn't mean a stupid story. 1984 had a crazy system, but it was definitely not a stupid story. Quote:

If the legal system takes rehabilitation seriously, you'd only want the gun to switch to Lethal Mode if... 1) Paralyzing shot isn't working for some reason (that wasn't a factor with the woman who had been raped), or... 2) The target is a complete psychopath/sociopath that's too far gone to be believably rehabilitated (think of The Joker from Batman comics). Like I wrote before, I can imagine (and probably even accept) this system determining that some targets really are too far gone to be worth trying to rehabilitate. But that decision should be based on more than just moments of extreme trauma and high emotionality, which people tend to recover from at least to some extent.

how robust is the system? how long has it been implemented? is it a new one that needs more adjustments or has everything been tested thoroughly already?
when it's in a grey area, does it give benefit of the doubt to the target or decide to go for a harsher penalty?

He's directed tons of popular TV series on Japanese television, as well as over a dozen theatrical film. Dude is quite a far cry from amature. Show you how much ani-ota focused some of these wikipedia editors are. As for anime, he's a long-time old school anime fan, and used Evangelion and Gundam BGMs in his movies. He's a vocal fan of Anno, Tomino and Oshii Mamoru. In fact, Dai-sousasen's police drama took a lot of que from Oshii's work on Patlabor. Also, your link didn't take me to any article with content. If you can provide the original Japanese source on it, I can tell you exactly what was said.

Well,I'll leave the moe discussion alone since I don't really care for itall that much

Same for the victim at first: it just says "Crime Coefficient is over by 160.Se's a target for enforcement action,the safety will be released" The characters keep talking about the "sibyl judgement", the victim is "far enough gone that we don't need to wait for sibyl judgement" and it seems to be that lethal mode was activated once that judgement is received. Now I don't know how the sibyl system works but it could be more than a coefficient reading or else there'd be no need to wait for it,unless ""sibyl judgement" is just something that happens automatically once you go past a certain coefficient point and the team didn't want to wait for that to happen.

Bayside Shakedown Yes, it was really big. I think the ANN interview (or somewhere) mentioned the director always wanted to do an animated series, and this will be his first attempt. |

aohige, by request, here is the original news article source: clicky
Wow, I just discovered that Gen Urobuchi's name translates to "the mysteriousness of the hollow abyss". Oh, and the article I linked to is supposedly the ANN profile article on Katsuyuki, not about the news article.

another point that probably will get addressed later on in the story is how does the Dominator identify who's using the gun? Or did the enforcer lock on/shut down the dominator before passing it over to the kidnapper? If it's the former then another question would be what happened in the academy that gave the permission for them to use the gun.
just some random thoughts.

Pretty legit comment. "moe" simply doesn't belong in the world building they're aiming for in this anime. No talks of crusade against moe or any of that nonsense, just talking about this anime and its Blade Runner roots.

And yeah, it's just one episode. Anyway, even if the system is crazy today, maybe it started as a reasonably sane and effective system. How the system has corrupted over time could be an interesting story itself. But what story Gen wants to tell here, we'll have to wait and see. I will say I'm liking it a lot so far.

Just my 5 cents.
- Sibyl = Latin for Prophetess. To quote: “The Sibyl, with frenzied mouth uttering things not to be laughed at, unadorned and unperfumed, yet reaches to a thousand years with her voice by aid of the god” If this is what this system is based on, then it basically makes predictions based on currnet psychological and physiological data only. Yeah, big flaw there already. On the other hand, if you switch the “i” and “y” and make it Sybil: Still means seer, but could also allude to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_(book) |

I suppose it just didn't feel right in that situation where you really should just pick the safe option instead of running the risk of getting everyone killed in a fire. So I couldn't really feel as if I support Akane's "moral" choice.

Anyway...he's just saying they want something that goes in the opposite direction from the moe trend...not that he wants to topple it. なぜなら、今のアニメのトレンドの“カウンター”をいくつもりだから
