YAWN! Yep it is time for bed. Work is tomorrow. WOOHOO! Maybe if I woohoo enough work will be fine and lovely. XD But the closer it becomes to Christmas the more people seem to lose their mind. They are fine buying expensive electronics and what not but charging people for food is insane. Insane I tell. So yay work.
Okay! So post then sleep. Up now is Psycho-Pass episode 8. Spoilers for Shinya gaining a stalker....well besides Akane.
Whoosh little robots!
Episode Summary:Ginoza moves his team to the school and security gets insane. Shougo watches from the art school and says the CID are here because Rikako picked victims only from her school. She continues painting and explains why she picked the girls. Basically this school is a place to raise women to become ideal wives from the old world of thinking and that has appeal to creepy men. Since the women are raised to have set in stone lives and be basically pretty things she changes them into something different. Shougo seems to accept this answer. In an empty dorm room Ginoza and the team have no leads on the missing girls and wonder how this place could be breached. They decide that given how old the school is some things could be missing on the blueprints and the killer from the previous crime 3 years ago might know of some secret ways to sneak around. Back at headquarters Akane tries to admonish Shinya for looking at the case but he continues to talk and ask what she thinks is going on. Akane says she thinks it is the same killer. Shinya is like oh it is the opposite. The killer from three years ago picked flashy locations and did things to the body that had an underlining message. This new killer put the bodies in parks both times and the bodies themselves seem to lack a message. He believes they are copying something and asks Akane to help him leave headquarters. They go to a detention center to talk to a creepy convict covered in tattoos. He recognizes the bodies being copied from some paintings by Rikako's father. Akane looks up the dude's name and is like um...yeah there is a student at the school by that name.
You probably should just wait for Shinya to get there. It will be faster.
So Akane and Shinya march up to the school much to Ginoza's dismay and Shinya confronts Rikako who has a crazy crime number. He goes to shoot but a teacher stops Shinya and Rikako escapes due to Shougo placing men around to create distractions. The team gathers together where Ginoza does a little bit of yelling but they focus on finding Rikako. They are unable to find her so they use past tapes to see where she has been. They see her going to a trash maintenance area and decide to go there. They don't find Rikako but they find the bodies of the two missing girls. Mika watches as the bodies are hauled away. Yayoi comforts the girl who seems to blame herself. Shougo was hanging out in the teacher's lounge thinking about what an interesting person Shinya is and how he was able to solve certain things. The teachers all lose their minds over the dead girls and run out. Shougo seems to take his time and leave. Shinya continues to try to find Rikako via the computer when he realizes all the footage of her being in the art room has been deleted. He is able to find an auto recording that works and Rikako mentions Shougo by name, a name that was attached to the case three years ago. Rikako is trying to escape in what looks like tunnels when Shougo calls her. He wants her to tell him what she did wrong and when she can't answer he tells her peace out. Rikako tries to escape but finds herself stuck in a bear trap. The old dude that Shougo was talking to earlier turns out to be a person who paid (?) to kill Rikako. He comes to where she is and she says that Shougo will kill him one day as well. The old dude then blows her head off. Shougo says that while he liked Rikako he has a new and more interesting toy in Shinya. THE END!
Um...you got at least 2 dead girls. You are going to have to answer either way.
Death to a killer. But not by a shiny gun. By another killer. Who was hired/works for a killer. For a society that is hellbent on keeping things on the up and up and controlling people there seems to be a lot of killing...
This school is pretty awful too.
Could that be the point of the show?! XO That with a few rules in place society (especially Japan) does a good job of watching over itself and the collective keeps everyone else in line. A few people fall between the cracks but for the most part everyone was pretty okay. But once society issued this new system it put pressure on people who normally might just be okay and made the crazy people even crazier at the thought of being controlled. So great job Sybil. You have created insane people.
What does that even mean? You weren't in danger!
Spoiler Alert: Smart Girl dies. Mika does feel bad at the end of the episode which I guess is something. She might have been pushing the woe is me aspect when she said that it was like she killed her friend by sending her to Rikako. Like you were insensitive about the other girls being killed/kidnapped but you didn't kill your friend. I guess I am still not quite sure how the entire hue cloudy system works because Yayoi told Mika to cry it out. I am guessing all these girls are going to have to get some meds in them anyway after all this insanity went down.
Let me spell this out for all you at home...and my partners.
So in the last episode we saw Shinya smiling, saying he was going to get involved in the case no matter what and to just wait. Well it turns out Shinya is very sneaky. Wait we already knew about the sneaky part. To me it seems like Shinya was implying the two cases were committed by the same person, the accomplice from the crime three years ago. What Shinya really meant was they were connected. In true Gino fashion he rejects Shinya's theory only to realize it was “right” and followed the lead. Onward the rest of the crew goes to the girl's school.
I am pretending that Akane is looking at the anus.
This leaves Shinya to get on the computer and really solve the crime. I think Akane was there to make sure Shinya was awesome and to let him out of the building. I guess someone needs to be a witness to the awesome. Or creepy. To be fair he had more knowledge of the previous case than Akane did. Gino did too but he doesn't seem to read between the lines. A dead cut up body is a dead cut up body to him. But to Shinya when things are shoved up someone's ass it is important as well as the location of the bodies.
Shinya looks a little dramatic here.
I might not agree though that Rikako's art was amateurish. Or that it didn't have a message. Maybe Shinya just didn't spend enough time studying things. One can see whatever they want in things. The locations were boring and that really didn't fit the MO bit originality? Maybe I need to see more dead bodies or something.
Why don't you just stay in the shadows...
The guy with the scary tattoos was scary. I was almost too focused on the sad fact that Shinya was all like oh I might end up here if you get tired of me to notice how creepy tattoo guy was. I am not going to argue that a life behind bars can get really boring but....turning yourself into whatever that was is creepy. But hey it does match the kind of art Rikako's dad did so I guess it worked.
Thanks teach. It's not like she was dangerous or anything.
I love how Shinya just marched into the school and basically disturbed the entire crime scene. To everyone else's credit they did figure out the killer was doing the killings on campus. They just didn't know who the suspect was. Or suspected the wrong person. Will the teacher who pulled Shinya away from Rikako be arrested too? Because that is a SUPER HIGH number there folks. Where the hell are the random hue checks now?
At least you got something?
Tracking Rikako down was kinda boring. And creepy. I think my favorite word is creepy. But computers all over the place watching you is a bit much for me. Of course...there aren't giant cats that are running after people when things go wrong so I guess things could get worse. I sorta feel bad that Shinya managed to solve this case (with only being a little wrong on his profiling) and the team wasn't able to bring Rikako in.
You are betraying me evil person? HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING!
Oh Rikako. Usually when an evil master mind is helping YOU that makes you the underling. And underlings are expendable. I am going to assume the answer Shougo wanted was in regards to a mistake she made. She only picked students at her school so that is a mistake she was made aware of. Was there anything else that Rikako could have known? I don't think she really thought about the locations but Shougo might have. HMMM.
Shinya made a new friend and didn't even know it.
Maybe in the end it doesn't matter what Rikako did. Once they get caught Shougo throws away his toy and focuses on a new one. He is now focused on Shinya whom he does not know. I thought that Shinya's friend was killed on purpose and Shougo was the one behind it but it seems he just funds the crazies. So this feud is against people who do not know each other and the revenge is simply the dead friend, nothing prior to that. Will Shougo acknowledge his mistake on allowing himself to be filmed/recorded at the school? I realize he had to get close to Rikako but now it is out there he was involved. HMMM!
Um your fingers are missing and your foot is in bear trap. It is time for screaming, not making sense.
So that is about it. The old dude apparently flew in from Hostel to come kill Rikako and have fun while doing so. The team will probably be upset over another killer. And entire school of kids will live in fear. AMAZING! XD

The guy who killed Rikako is the same guy who was talking to Makishima in ep 7, and the reason? Like he said, it was for fun.
I think it is even more sad that she is actually sociable. Yet, when she call for help all she can do is “call” her dad, who no longer exist in the living. Her death is really pitiable for a “pity-less” character.
Also, I think the man dressing up and his robotic dogs are a reference to “The Most Dangerous Game” and “Fahrenheit 451″.
The same Anonymous as above,
Quote form Anca, the translator for a foreign fansub group for this series, and I really agree w/ this person on how the literature, Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare, quote by Makishima fit so well in here.(credit all goes to Anca):
>The quotes though were fantastically well chosen though and they were really worth all the effort.
Ouryou Rikako was a pretentious girl, that much was obvious; she wanted to be an artist, but she didn’t have a message of her own to send. She saw herself as a victim, but wanted to be Tamora from the play, the woman who had her sons rape and cripple another character Lavinia. She wanted revenge against society for her father, she wanted more freedom for herself and to have her talent recognized. Except she didn’t have any talent either. Her paintings were all ugly and amateur-ish, and although she did have a good eye for sculptures, those were just imitations of what her father used to do – so she hid behind pseudo-intellectual rhetoric and superficially chosen quotes. This is only obvious once you start combing though everything she says word for word though.
Makishima eventually saw this, and probably more that I didn’t catch, and grew disappointed. What’s interesting were the quotes he chose when he had her killed, which were really sarcastic and ironic – but you have to look them up to see why. The play itself was incredibly edgy, full of rape, mutilation, cannibalism; he picked a couple of verses that were appropriately creepy, and seemed to be making fun of her.
Again this wasn’t obvious, but it makes sense, as Makishima was quoting them for himself and not the audience, and if you quote something to yourself you’ll generally pick more obscure things.<
Hope this (above) explain the Shakespeare literature confusion. XD
Someone on another site suggested that hue checks are different than what the Dominators scan for – crime coefficient is a deeper diagnostic. So hue checks might miss that you killed people unless you are completely stressed out that you did, but a crime coefficient is an algorithm of many factors. Sounds plausible.
I like that Shogo is crushing on Shinya. Hopefully there will be much more of that.
And, yes that dude did fly in from Hostel.
--K8
Makishima didn't make any mistake. He left that sound recording on purpose, after fiddling with it so that the voice can't be identified. I think this guy is super good in computer. Remember how he changed everybody's avatar last time? Why did he left something on purpose? Probably for fun. Since he seems to have run out of toys.
Oh yeah, that old man is a cyborg. He must be super fast when he run. That's why, one moment he's still dressing up in his room, another moment later he's already in the sewer. LOL.
Anonymous 1- People killing for fun are awful. Of course killing people is usually awful but not having a reason behind it or because you are bored and want some fun...go to a movie. Take a walk. What the hell?!
As for Rikako...I really don't feel pity for her. Well maybe a little. Must be hard to watch your father melt away into nothing when he was trying nobly to save society and this was his reward. But running around and killing innocent people as revenge....not so much. Why not target the person who made this crazy system?
It surprises me how deep certain animes are. A lot of time and energy goes into researching them. I would not have known all this information unless otherwise told to me. Maybe the point of using the quotes is for people to research said plays and sources and become better educated. Maybe I should stop being lazy and research them myself. XD But for now I am grateful when people explain things to me.
Anonymous 2- I wish Akane would focus more on her job than her crush. There are double standards all over the place for women and she isn't doing herself any favors throwing herself into the Shinya train when her so called boss is telling her what to do and she ignores him. But I am glad someone sees Shinya as a human and not a criminal.
So hue checks are like metal detectors and Dominators are like the evasive TSA pat downs at the airport. So many layers to this creepy society.
Eternia- That does make more sense if Shougo did that on purpose. He seems rather bored too in life and probably wants things spiced up. But if everything was wiped out but one recording I guess it does make sense he left one there on purpose.
