"Noitamina" 20th anniversary illustration

(Un)questionably clear hue

It was Akane's birthday (01.04), and I was overdue with drawing something PP-related lmao, happy birthday to the best and based Inspector.

[Psycho-Pass: Akane Tsunemori (S3/FI)]

...just in time for the Lunar New Year Eve, Feb. 9th. 🎉

Noitamina Shop will hold Arata Shindo-kun's bday campaign and at the same time promotes the PPP novel sale 🥂🥳.

Have you already prepared dried persimmons? 🤗 You know, in ancient times people used to wind-hang outside Hoshigaki, thus the Japanese lantern shape we know about today were taken from. 📸 Google Images.

Quick Review:

During the premier of PPP movie before the Global launch, fans kept asking Dir. Shiotani about

The meaning of empty liquor bottle in Kogami's desk.

Why Kogami removed his jacket during his balcony scene

And his answer were simple. Kogami didn't know the difference of wearing it inside or outside. At first, I thought it was some kind of a funny little joke, or I didn't understand the words full well (I'm not a full-bred Japanese though I studied Nihonggo way back in grade school).

But if you read the PPP novel, you will realize Kogami isn't fully adjusted from his traumatic experiences as a mercenary overseas 🤧. So he doesn't feel how to act just as he used to when he's back.

And ofcourse, we all know he and Saiga only emptied the liquor after long hours of chatting and Tonami profiling.

2. It's interesting that the writing team have taken the pulse of the fans during the Q&A session, thus some points in PPP novel is what we might've expect after all 🤭.

3. Some may say it's nothing new. As it seems the writing team pretty much remain loyal to the movie summary. But if you read between the lines, you realize how it is a bit forgiving & fan-serving, compare to the movie itself 👍🏻.

4. The locations...last minute alterations... 😆😂.

5. And ofcourse the last time Akane spent with Saiga on his detention cell 😭. She literally blame herself for asking him to come to them on Dejima in MoFA's HQ to retrieve the Stronskaya Papers a day after. Which we all know ended tragically.

6. She pulls the trigger. She question the justice. Which quotes the same kind of line from PP3 novel when she's writing her thoughts down in an analogue typewriter. From that scene she thought of Kogami's action and how Sybil judged him for that.

But in PPP novel, no doubt she puts into consideration the life of Atsushi Shindo and how he was used as a pawn, only to be a master pawn who puppets the life of another pawn like what happened to Akira Ignatov.

Aswell as Akira Ignatov's sacrifice. He volunteered to be a puppet for the sake of the future generation. For the sake of his brother in particular 😢😓😓😢.

7. Frede-chan's holding back and being indecisive to keep the truth about the mission to Kogami. Is like keeping her phone number to her crush 😹🤭. Sure, she's just conscious how would Kou-chan would react since she knows Saiga and him are pretty close 😮‍💨.

8. The writing team did a pretty good job by staying true to their plot work. They know what they're doing. As if taken up some piece of advice from Gege Akutami 😅😂.

9. The last scene is pretty much heart-aching but well executed 😘🤌🏻❤️

10. The General was a medical AI but I wonder if the creator of Sybil also created that?... how about BiFrost? Oh hello, Season 4! We're waving at you ☺️😀!

11. Many hate Akane for trying to control Kogami, again?! Let me get this straight, SHE ISN'T CONTROLLING ANYONE!

There's a MASSIVE difference when he a.) first pulled the trigger against Makishima (out of revenge) and when he b.) pulls that against Tonami.

Akane knows it best.

a) She doesn't want him to be a person swallowed by revenge like Sasuke (Naruto).

b) She hopes Kogami is back for the better but instead he acted again with his animal instinct which indicates he can still be easily outplayed by emotions instead of not letting it get the human out of him.

Akane still looks up to Kogami. She knows he was labeled as a latent criminal by Sybil. But the way Kou acted is like proving to Sybil that their labeling of him as latent criminal was right. And if there's one thing Akane isn't fond of, that is proving Sybil right.

So it's not about Kogami. It's about her campaign against Sybil's false and unfair judgement! So don't mock her! 😖

Lastly, PPP novel is enjoyable because a lot of fans are exerting efforts to translate it to English for fans abroad. Kudos to you all❣️

Not everyone have the time, capacity and dedication you've spent. Including me, I'm not good in translation. So thank you. You are the heart of PSYCHO-PASS franchise global expansion ❤️🥰.

End of Review.

Okay, so that wasn't a quick one 😋 sorry about that. I just hope you guys have a wonderful day. Have fun and enjoy everything that you do!

🥰🤗

Meanwhile, the original crew of PP1 are in their podcast discussing how the series have been progressing so far 😋😂

Nah! It's just a trace sketch of CD Discussion Vol. 1

Psycho-Pass - Murder is good if it's free will and you don't get caught. Unless you do get caught. Or you’re a cop. Then it’s bad.

Yuukoku no Moriarty - Murder the nobility that murders peasants. (Eat the rich.)

Shingeki no Kyojin - Titans kill people. People kill Titans. Titans kill Titans. People kill people. Titans are people? Huh. Everyone dies. The end.

Mo Dao Zu Shi - Murder is good unless it's your sister's husband or your sworn brother.

Tokyo Ghoul - I mean, have you SEEN it?

Kimetsu no Yaiba - Demons murdering humans is good. I mean bad. Depends on who you are.

Howl’s Moving Castle/Spirited Away - No Ghibli characters were harmed significantly in the making of this post.

Kuroshitsuji - Muuuuuuuurder? What murder? I didn’t see any murder hahahahahhaha- (please don’t kill me, Sebastian-)

Akudama Drive - Literally everyone’s killed someone in this town.

ID: INVADED - It’s cool to let an ex-cop murder serial killers as a serial killer who has a serial interest in killing serial killers. Oh, look; there’s three of them now. Two. Fun.

Link Click - Stop thinkin’ ’bout it- (SEASON 2 THIS SUMMER-)

Kami no Tou - Murder is good if you wanna climb the tower.

Vanitas no Carte - Humans are murdered. So are vampires.

Spy x Family - Murder is awesome if it's your parents committing it!

Youjo Senki - It’s literally about a girl committing homicidal war crimes-

Baraou no Souretsu - Being enby makes one want to commit murder instead of dealing with internal and external transphobia as a result of the time period one has been born into. (Also bonus absolute fire OPs by the VA of YuuMori Sherlock.)

Dororo - Murder everything until you get what you want, but don’t lose your human heart or your traveling companion.

Mob Psycho 100 - Exorcism may technically be considered murder? (Don’t tell Mob.) Also, bottling up your emotions is a mixed bag.

Chainsaw Man - Local hungry/horny man kills his half-siblings for the bare minimum standard of living. 

Banana Fish - *cries wails screams rolls on the ground sobbing*

Cike Wu Liuqi - Watching a guy slowly devolve into madness due to his murderous past is surprisingly fun, actually. (Just because you were good at murder, doesn’t mean you are now…)

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Being a cyborg significantly increases your chances of a) being murdered or b) committing murder.

Trigun Stampede - He just wants to spread love and peace, so please stop calling him a murderer. His brother, on the other hand...
