On the plus side, no Clink. Prayers were answered there. On the downside, Brina Stephanie Young (guess she does not let the 9 month disease hold her back) and Bolton are all possible pitfalls. Is Michelle Rojas related to the Rojas who is the funimation PR guy?
The LE doesn’t seem that bad price-wise and it doesn’t seem to be much larger than the 2 half-series put together. Since this has been the only “thinker” show in the pipeline, sadly, I have my fingers crossed that funimation can make it not suck.
Well, by ep 4 this show has finally started to have some promise. They’ve also gotten away from the uber-moe with the main character. Hopefully they stay away from it, that it was only there in all of its annoyance so that the UroButcher could “subvert” it, as is his signature.
Still, 4 episodes in didn’t leave me so awestruck that I had to order the show or feel disappointed that I can’t watch the next episode until later in the month (when Funi streams it).
Jason Douglas has definitely been the MVP of this dub. McCollum playing out of his typecast-being the Steve Blum substitute-has been interesting. Maybe Zach Bolton is finally coming out of his slump as a director?
Wow, I just noticed that RightStuf raised the price of the LE from $95 to $119.
The ~$86 was tempting, but $107 is a no-go.
2x the price of the BD/DVD version for BD-only and a smattering of extras just a bit below what ADV/Funi/Geneon/Bandai bundled in the old days? Am I missing something here?
Made it through the Brina Palencia arc. While this isn’t much different from what I see on mainstream US TV I do have to wonder if the people who push for it to be put on Toonami have even seen the show lol. Didn’t CN actually censor Death Note back in the day?
Speaking of Death Note, this show is definitely living in its shadow 
The later episodes of this show contain “brutality for brutality’s sake”. It is like watching a snuff film. In fact, it became a snuff film.
This show has been a huge disappointment. This is poorly written, poorly constructed pretentious schlock. Someone needs to contain this UroButcher doofus before he wrecks something else. Keep him doing Madoka Magica-esque stuff and away from Sci-fi. My disappointment with this sinks to previously uncharted depths.
I’m thankful that I didn’t buy this. I might never.
Then don’t, but one thing that should be on your To-do List is using the Edit button. 
If I put all of my contempt for and disappointment with Psycho-pass into one post it would be a post denser than a black hole, a post that would suck in all other posts. While it could, Madoka Magica style, also potentially provide a limitless source of energy I didn’t want to take that chance 
Though I’ve come up with a phrase to sum up Psycho-pass: “Baby’s First ‘Thinking’ Show”. The way it holds the viewer’s hand through all of its “complicated” stuff and shoe-horns in quotes from “smart people” in order to “sound intelligent” is almost cute.
Edit: “Dawwwww, the wittle psycho-pass is so cute! Isn’t it just totally adorable the way Gen Urobuchi believes that he’s Shakespeare’s successor?” (Just for you, I’ve used the edit button)
Good job, though you wasted a perfectly good chance to create an FTL drive and pioneer intergalactic space travel, not to mention make a fortune. :side:

Novel featuring 4 characters, Shinya Kogami manga to launch in June
Thanks for the warning 
Though with someone besides The UroButcher at the helm, these novels might actually be decent. Though one ought to read Sherlock Holmes or Death Note instead.

Well I believe that it is clear which entry shouldn’t win…
GuP is barely SciFi so it doesn’t feel justified here but I’d still vote for it over psycho-pass. I’ve seen shows that were worse on their own but psycho-pass takes the crown of worst because it didn’t live up to the hype that it built for itself with every other line of dialogue.
To nominate psycho-pass is to nominate Minority Report…
