Whoever said that Florida was the sunshine state was full of crap. Probably the same person who invented Daylight Savings time. I will just blame all the world's wrongs and evils on one person. Much easier that way you think?
So what is up now? The ending of Psycho-Pass. Episode 22. People thinks that there might be more to this show later down the line but for now it is over. Spoilers for Akane probably failing at everything.
Episode Summary: Shougo and Shinya continue to fight and banter around like they are getting ready to have sex with each other. Or kill each other. Probably the same thing for these two. Shougo says that Shinya feels the same as him and Shinya is like um no clearly I am okay with my lot in life. All these craziness is going on with knives. The battle goes back and forth and Shougo taunts Shinya, saying the man will never learn. Well Shinya nearly breaks his arm and lands a serious blow on Shougo. Before Shinya can take him out Akane is like halt I am here and I have a gun. Shougo gets away and Shinya wonders if this is really his life. Akane says she is not going to let Shougo kill Shinya which is good since he is bleeding off into the sunset. Akane gives Shougo the Dominator that has been locked on paralyze mode and she takes the real gun. They chase after Shougo is a super dramatic fashion with Akane explaining that they are not protecting a bad law. That the people create laws and they are protect their ideals to making a better society and she has to believe in that. After some more dramatic talk Akane and Shinya are nearly hit by a truck. Shinya is unable to shoot Shougo so Akane takes a ride on the back of the truck. She manages to shoot out one of the tires and the truck crashes. Akane is injured and Shougo stands over her but apparently there are no bullets left in the gun. He fails to kill her and limps away. Shinya catches up to Akane and she begs him not to go. He reloads the gun and chases after Shougo.
Shougo is pretty injured and is thinking about how Akane nearly killed him and that is something he never planned for. Shinya catches up and Shougo asks what Shinya will do without him to chase. A gunshot rings out and Akane knows she has lost Shinya forever. Some time later Akane and her bruised self goes to visit Sibyl. Since Akane failed she has been taking down a few pegs in terms of importance. But Sibyl thinks that they can learn from Akane and her unique beliefs. Akane is pissed that she is still being used. Sibyl says that one day they wish to reveal to the whole world their true nature and to do that they need to build up trust and what not. Sibyl hopes to learn that from Akane and Akane is like bitches I am going to create a world that doesn't need you. Ginoza visits his father's grave with his new arm self. Ginoza has become a latent criminal and an Enforcer, both are probably something his father wouldn't want. Akane picks Ginoza up as she is his boss now. Ginoza is grateful that his father has a grave as Shusei does not. Then they talk about where Shinya could be and how Ginoza isn't wearing glasses now. Elsewhere Shion and Yayoi are having sex and thinking about how all the boys are dying off from their group. Akane prepares to get a very new and young partner. It turns out to be the survivor girl from the school murders. Akane repeats nearly the same conversation that Ginoza had with her when she first started. Only she refers to her two Enforcers as humans and to be careful of the system. Elsewhere Shinya is living in a hole and THE END!
Well that was 23982 kinds of disappointment. It's like CLAMP has taken over all the animes and has no idea how to end them properly. Like oh snap um...um..never mind we will barely end it at all and leave everyone feeling unsatisfied so no one can be happy yay!!!
I thought that Shinya and Shougo....well I guess they fought enough. Maybe more fist fighting and not playing around with these tiny knives. I mean obviously knives can do some serious damage but it was like watching a fencing match. Like they were toying with each other and weren't ever going to do real damage. Until Shinya actually did which surprised Shougo. The banter between the two is something that did keep the other on their toes but maybe not so much connecting. Shougo seems to think that they are very similar individuals. I don't think that and I don't think Shougo does either. I think society views them as similar though. Maybe that is what Shougo should have focused on saying. But clearly Shinya did not think the two were the same.
Part of me was like Shougo....why didn't you tell Shinya about the brains?! Why not try to get Shinya to see what you are fighting against? But....I don't think that would have worked in Shougo's favor. Or rather Shinya would have agreed with Shinya, still blew him away, and then try to take down the system himself. Only he would do it in a way that didn't cost people their lives. Shinya was a latent criminal because his sense of justice was too strong. Yay system! So yeah I guess if Shougo told Shinya it really wouldn't have done HIM any good but it might have saved future people. Shougo didn't seem to want to stop the system because it was unfair. He wanted to stop it because it excluded him and he was bored.
While nothing romantic EVER happened between Shinya and Akane....that man must feel something for her. But even love has it's limits. Like Shinya finally was winning in a battle with Shougo and Akane comes and lets him escape. Like really....really....couldn't Akane have....shot Shougo? You know the two were busy trying to slash each other's heads off and or touch their penises together and no one noticed Akane. She could have gone around and shot both of the men without them knowing. But NOOOO Akane is like stop Shinya I have to save you even if that means the guy who is trying to kill everyone escapes. But all Shinya does is sigh. Like gurl you are dumb, like a silly dog that always messes up.
Despite that Akane suffers from a serious case of dumb the exchange she and Shinya had going on was quite intelligent. Even if their movements were a bit dramatic. Surprised they didn't drop to the ground and roll around. But yes Akane is like we are protecting people and their ideals. Because laws will always be flawed first. *Putting on her criminal justice hat. * There will be times when protecting the system will go against logic. But without a system in place either another one would come to take its place or chaos would reign. Now....brains...yeah that is a bit much. But we have a system that has people arguing and money exchanging hands and people not being thought of but self interest. So can we really judge them? Oh we can well continue.
Akane was a bit bad ass riding on the back of the truck. Shinya was like what is this day? I am so off my game! I really can't fault Akane for...you know being injured after the fact. She did her part. Although....she really should have died. Had Shougo stomped on her head I think Shinya would have stopped and been upset. I know he ran away from Tomomi but I think Akane would have been different. Is there a reason why Shougo stopped and looked her like that? Am I missing something?
In the end Shinya did catch up with Shougo. You know...with the obvious blood trail to follow and all. Shougo was able to show his slightly human side. I mean...he seemed upset that Akane almost killed him and not Shinya. Maybe running from Shinya was fun. That someone paid attention to him. In the end I don't really feel bad that his brains got blown out. Does the system need to be changed? Probably. But he went around and gave people the means to do horrible stuff to people. He deserves to stop existing, not to chill with other brains.
And that was the last time that Akane ever saw Shinya. Ever. Unless the little message at the end of the show means something. And the thing is I thought that Akane was going to be a little more upset about it. Maybe she is, alone in her room and not in front of people that she is in charge of. She had some anger yes but no sadness. Maybe she realizes that deep down that Shinya was never going to be safe and this is the best for him? I don't think that as Akane has a strong sense of justice. Maybe it is best he got away so she didn't have to blow him away? Still I thought there was going to be more between those two and POOF nothing happened.
Akane did get to talk to all the brains though. Which is good, that there was talking and not more killing. Clearly Akane is an interesting little case and Sibyl wants to study her. Which of course is a bit insulting when you think about it but I guess Akane can't totally bite the hand that doesn't kill her. Akane got her licks in, saying she was going to bring the system down instead of helping them become exposed to the public over time. I am not sure what they think Akane can do...she ain't a miracle worker. Maybe in the future people won't care so much brains will make sense!
Then the series wrapped up in a nice bow that no one really wanted. Like....really? Really? Ginoza wasn't smashing his head against a wall while being locked up? Because I am pretty sure that guy spent the last 22 episodes acting like he was better than everyone and now...he is one of them. Missing an arm and all. And all he is doing is going....meh? MEH?! He just accepted everything and is going with the flow. I mean...what else CAN he do at this point? But character development wise this is not how Ginoza should have ended up. Just...interesting. I mean if Akane was my boss and my dad was dead and my best friend is missing forever I might be slightly more upset. SLIGHTLY!
Who isn't upset? Well not Shusei because he is dead and barely got a mention. It really is sad how the show treated him. I am not pissed that he died (well I am but still) but that he might have been the greatest example of why this system is so flawed. A little kid flagged as a latent criminal? I would argue that is just as bad as cracking their eggs open because they are afraid if Fiends. It is more like they created a criminal with Shusei. His case really should have spoke to Akane on why this system was flawed. Instead she was like Shinya penis.....
Yayoi seems to be having a great time now that three of her friends are gone forever and her Inspector is now an Enforcer. Bring on the sex! Okay so maybe that was harsh. Yayoi really hasn't changed that much. She still is a very hard to read person. All that she said was she trusts Akane as a good leader. That is all. I think that there was much more going on with her though. Whatever happened to that blue hair music girl? Thought we were going to have an epic showdown with her and Yayoi. But no. Another wasted opportunity.
The episode ends with Akane getting a new partner and the show coming full circle. Some people think it is so cool and some people think it is lazy. I am not sure where I stand. I see both sides really. Has Akane really changed enough? Has enough time passed for her to have the air that Ginoza had about him? I just don't think she is ready enough for the job. Like a 15 year old kid who has grown up tough is still 15 you know? Just a really hard and jaded kid.
Also I think it was slightly dramatic to have someone so young be Akane's partner. I know we know now who does the picking when it comes to this line of work. They have to meet a lot of criteria. And given how crazy things got in the end maybe people were just recovering from the helmet heads. But a kid fresh out of high school? Or still in high school? I don't know. It just felt weird and forced. Like look Akane has someone to mold and train to be amazing just like her. Together they are going to take on the Sybil system. Quick pull out the Ginoza cards and make a few changes. Call it a greeting.
And that is about it.......sad really. I think the ending should have been more. More something. More with Shinya and how his life is like now, how Akane reacted to it all, Ginoza losing his mind.. Just more. This ending feels flat and it is hard to put my finger on it. Maybe because nothing has really changed and the world keeps on turning. Akane is on the case though guys. She will.....maybe...do something?
