New season of Chihayafuru is really good. Anyone know how long they're to going to continue releasing two episodes per week?

Not anymore. Only 2/3 and 4/5 were released together.

The first 3 episodes already felt quite rushed, but the next arc is even worse. They seriously crammed a full volume of the source novel into two episodes.
I'm actually specifically talking about the first three, cause that's all I got to. Unless they cut a huge amount of stuff, stretching that content out would honestly kill any enjoyment I had. The fast good pacing was really the best part.

Is there no thread for Psycho Pass S3, or am I just blind? I want to discuss that fun show that's totally ridden the coattails of a really good first season, but which I still really enjoy.

Psycho Pass S3 is a marked improvement over S2, which suffered from being mostly just a worse version of S1. I feel like they're retconning just how effective Sibyl is at detecting criminals but I guess that's kind of necessary if you want to do anything with the setting other than rehash the plot of S1.

Also just as I was wondering what happened to Yayoi, she's back. :toot:

Is that in the preview for next episode? I didn't see her in episode 3.

I liked S2 more than most, it had some really interesting ideas in it here and there. The main downer for me was that Kogami wasn't around. I need to check out more movies to see how Kogami and Ginoza ended up as super special agents (and I love the touch that the dominator straight up refuses to read their hues). Gotta catch up on Tsunemori too, though just her actions in the first movie are enough to get her locked up I think she's more there because of went down in another movie. I'm digging these new inspectors, though the enforcers still need to grow on me.

I doubt anything is going to top S1 with all the cool worldbuilding and reveals it featured, but this is a setting I think I'll always be game to dive back into, even if I don't always get to see my favorite characters. I'd definitely be down for a final season where everyone gets together and brings down Sibyl, with Akane's hand-picked inspector taking cases and her building up her manifesto somewhere who knows, maybe that's in the works for this season.

Are the 3 movies that came out before S3 require watch for S3?

I'm keeping up pretty well having only caught one of them and the big movie they did some time ago. I'm sure it would help clue you in on what's up with the already existing characters, but they don't seem necessary to the story of the current detectives and enforcers.

You know the basics of the current situation of past major characters after the first two episodes, I'm just waiting to catch the movies to hopefully be clued in on how they ended up where they have. They're very much in the background now but I'm hoping they play a big role in the season finale.

The movies do introduce Frederica, the Foreign Affairs lady who seems like she'll be pretty important to the season. Haven't watched ep 3 yet tho.

you shouldn't, because there is a growing number of japanese media that treats subjects regarding sexuality and personal identity and image with a fair amount of care, and there are social movements for discussion of these topics in the country and visible progress on those fronts, so media that continues to use these things as lovely jokes is bad and shouldn't be viewed as the norm to judge the entire country by automatically.
