It's five parts and apparently you have to go to his blog to really see it because of wanting to use show footage and YouTube blocking him.

I was interested... but after listening to him blather on for almost four minutes of that 12 minute video just talking about the reasons we should go to his site instead I lost interest.

Sorry, I posted from my phone. I linked his YouTube video because it points to his website. He's worried about getting his video taken down due to copyright B.S.

To summarize some key points: the staff is entirely different, Makishima is a better villain than the new guy, and Akane's character arc is reset from the first season. Final point: the second season is ultimately pointless and changes nothing.

I understood that -- the problem was when I heard "this is a five-part, two-hour comparison"... two hours! and seeing how much time he wasted yaking away without even starting. Just gave me an idea the content to noise ratio in his analysis would be poor.

Well the first season changed nothing as well. They made this point specifically by having a reenactment of the opening scene at the end, except with Akane playing the "senpai in the field" welcoming the new girl and giving her the no-coddling talk.

[Show spoiler]But I agree the characters were some of big weaknesses in the second season. The new-new characters just weren't interesting. It was nice having the doctor as a reoccurring character this season, but Enforcer Ginoza wasn't as good as Inspector Ginoza, and most importantly there's no Kougami there for Akane to have undertones of romantic tension with.

Cerevo Develops "PSYCHO-PASS" Smart Phone

Transformable "DOMINATOR MAXI" smart phone mimics futuristic firearm

Cerevo is developing a smart phone based on the futuristic Dominator smart-weapons of the PSYCHO-PASS anime. The DOMINATOR MAXI will include LED lights, a camera built into the muzzle, 100 sound clips featuring Noriko Hidaka (the voice of the Dominator weapons system in the PSYCHO-PASS anime), Wifi access, and various other features.

Perhaps the coolest feature of the DOMINATOR MAXI is its ability to transform when the trigger is squeezed. Here's a short preview video highlighting the DOMINATOR MAXI's transformation abilities:

The DOMINATOR MAXI is scheduled to be released later in 2015. Although the final retail price has not yet been determined, Cerevo says it will not cost more than 100,000 yen ($806.06 US).

Seems like an odd time to introduce that -- unless the franchise isn't done yet and we'll be getting a season 3.

I wouldn't buy it. I mean it is cool but I'm sure if you walk around with that here in the US and the police will come haha.
