>There are references to works of Project Itoh (Genocidal Organ Like what?
Asher Young
psycho pass more like gaycho pass
Zachary Reed
I can't remember the exact line, you'd have to check. Like it says, "no works are specifically named". Real mature pal lmfao
Adrian Thompson
I want to read something that has an antagonist like Makishima
Aaron Thompson
psycho pass more like i will pass
Eli Gray
Thanks
Elijah Sanchez
Makishima was the hero of Psycho Pass
Oliver Ortiz
He really was, too bad he enjoyed the more murderous aspects of his revolution too much.
Jacob Lopez
I really wanted him to succeed, just for the hell of it.
Owen Foster
Me too, but if there's hope for any system its Sybil. An inhuman, yet human, system.
Noah Cox
Holy... BTFO
Joseph Campbell
Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber ?
Jeremiah Jenkins
Was it mentioned in the show or just referenced because the name of the system?
Aaron Stewart
Wtf I suddenly love Psycho Pass!
Landon Flores
Is this actually good? With character designs that shit I have a hard time believing that anything about the show is bearable.
Colton Scott
It's better than 90% of anime.
Dylan Thomas
That's not saying very much.
Michael Morris
It's the best thing I can say about it.
Austin Sullivan
It sounds pretty shit then.
Easton Long
You sound pretty shit then.
Jordan Richardson
At least I'm not Pyscho-Pass
Luke Taylor
You could only dream of being Psycho-Pass
Nathan Reyes
Thanks yo, downloading right now
Austin Harris
>On Veeky Forums >judging something by its cover
You deserve not to enjoy quality writing.
Evan Mitchell
Covers are generally a pretty good guide as to general quality. For example, anything which has a generic fantasy name and a guy wearing a hood on the cover is sure to be garbage.
James Wood
I found the character design of psycho pass edgy nonsense and would have discarded for the same reason. I understand what you're saying, I just think it's a bad rule. Unless it's like, moe shit.
Matthew Gutierrez
I think it's a very good rule.
Nolan Bell
I can't stop you from being stupid man. Do you.
Ryan Perez
this
Ryder Collins
Understandable since I thought the same, but I swear the mong face of the protag grows on you over time
Connor Gutierrez
lol and her dumb bowlcut
Xavier Ramirez
A book's cover is chosen by some semi-literate publisher who probably never even read the thing after the fact. An anime's visual direction is a conscious decision made by the creator in most circumstances. If they have shit taste there isn't it reasonable to assume they might be a pleb all over?
Eli Mitchell
>No Catcher in the Rye Surprise, looks like I'll still prefer Ghost in the Shell
Asher Morales
>Sybil, I am a... Psycho Pass.
And Veeky Forums likes this anime.
Elijah Wood
If anything that's a perk and a reason to prefer Psycho Pass over Ghost in the Shell!
Oliver Morales
dark humanism is best humanism
Easton Lopez
counterpoint
Jaxson Scott
>prefer Psycho Pass over Ghost in the Shell! This board can't be saved.

I would have specified but I don't quite know how to describe it, the bad covers are the ones where it's actually a stock-photo tier picture of an actual guy wearing a head in front of a mostly white background that looks like it was thrown together using photoshop in an hour. You know, all of these edgy Assassin's Creed-posing faggot covers with names like 'blade's edge chronicles'.
Shadow of the Torturer's cover is better on so many levels. First off I'm not a pleb so I immediately get hard when I see Papa Pringle's name on a cover, secondly this was hand-drawn, meaning not published in the last 15 years, meaning much less likely to be unreadable anime-in-prose garbage, thirdly there's a black cloak and a sword but in what's easily the most creative black cloak+sword cover of all time. Look at those frills, look at that staircase thing, look at those little heads. This is clearly more than just Garreth Gobblecock and his band of edgy men fucking around preparing for some bullshit fantasy heist or something.
Dominic King
I never said I prefer Psycho Pass over Ghost in the Shell. Nice reading comprehension dude. I just treat Catcher in the Rye like the shit it is.
Jonathan Diaz
CAUSE I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
Didn't urobuchi admit to reading basically none of the referenced works?
Camden Foster
Psycho Pass is finished for one, and Berserk is never going to be done
Kayden Cooper
Sibyl did nothing wrong
Christian Foster
Source please Ehhhhhhhh
Jonathan Stewart
I couldn't find anything, so maybe it's bullshit or i'm remembering wrong, but a few years ago i swear i read an interview with him where he said it, an example being that he hadn't read Dick because the English was too hard or something
Eli Lee
If he didn't read them then he is a sparknotes wizards.
