Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness coming west for PS4, PS Vita, and PC this fall
- Thread starter mankoto
- Start date
Oddly enough yeah. The Japanese Xbox 360 is actually filled with 360 exclusive Japanese Visual Novels. Even the biggest titles such as: Steins Gate, Robotics Notes and Chaos; Head were actually original 360 exclusive titles. There's loads on that system(If you have access to the Japanese marketplace)! I have played a bit of Psycho Pass on Xbox One as well as Chaos; Child, which isn't that great honestly. I was waiting for Psycho Pass to get an English update for nearly 2 years now but then they scrap it and it's only for Sony systems
That's really disappointing.
It's on pc as well

I have no idea what this is and don't really care... but "Mandatory Happiness" is a pretty good title.
Abnormalize was the best song. I'd link it, but like Dragon's Dogma's Into Free it's been scrubbed from YouTube.
Also, S1's ending theme was great.

Here you go.
I like it, but S2's OP just has that sense of urgency I love in a S2 OP.
Both EDs were great.

Interesting to hear about season two, I didn't know it was such a stinker.
I think I can understand the complaints though, because some of them could be directed to small parts of the first season. I'm thinking specifically the moments when
The whole series is fairly well written and believable up to that point, but seeing humans not react to something like that is so ridiculous that it almost destroys the whole experience of the show. After millions of years of evolution, it's in our inherent instincts to understand what brutality is, and a couple hundred years of pacification could never change that. It really was the one dud in the first series, and it sucks to know they doubled down on it for the second season. For the Japanese audience I guess it makes a bit more sense because of their strong aversion to conflict, and the recurrent theme in Japanese fiction of moving from an honor-based samurai system to a morally deprived bureaucratic civil system.
As for Psycho Pass not being on Netflix, it was a timed deal which I think ended last week. I might watch the second season by other means, but judging from the comments here, it looks like it might not be worth it.

supposedly regular people just stand puzzled and watch as innocent people are brutally murdered in front of them.

Another VN for the Vita? Yes please. 
I've not watched Psycho-Pass. But learning that Sakurai Hikaru is one the writers, greatly improved my interest.
Word. There is literally nothing that story can offer that makes me want to dive into that universe again. What a terrible twist.

I hope the game is setup like Snatcher, but that might be too much to hope for.

Someone should take a look at the old Love Hina drama CDs that were released!
S2 was great where it mattered, i.e. it had the best Akane. I loved it.

Usually when people add subs to a drama-cd they usually put still images into a video and then translates them and add subs to the video.
I disagree. Humans are capable of unimaginable cruelty. Look no further than the Rwandan genocide. People raped and murdered their neighbours. There were pastors who lead people into churches promising sanctuary but instead, sold those who took refuge inside to the Interhamwe. It was a bloodbath. The international community just stood by and watched. Standing by as "innocent" people die is nothing for us (innocent being subjective).
I wish they used this boxart. It reminds me of the cool art style they used in the openings.
