I really wish I could watch this episode. I can just imagine the discussion

I wish you guys would re-upload this episode with full length... it's the best episode of the series (imo) and I'm sure anyone watching your psycho-pass reactions would like to see it (I'm saying this because I would totally like to see it).

The Sibyl system takes away responsibility too. The inspectors surrender their responsibility and right to judge to the sibyl system and Makishima gave Akane the chance to take back her freedom along with the responsibility. He gave her a chance to start making moral choices again and she failed.

Wow really got to commend Makishima's dub on this. His lines are fantastically written and delivered, really capturing the essence of his character. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Akane's VA. It's a tough job, but she just doesn't command the same emotion that the Japanese VA can to define the character, in my perception of her that is. There's a really distinct change in Akane here from previous episodes that just doesn't feel the same in the dub. To me, the first episode mirrors this one in that Akane has the opportunity to defy Sibyl and use her free will to decide a course of action. In the first episode she was trying to save someone from being killed by it, and the Sibyl system agreed with her. Here she too is trying to save her friend, but the course of action that she needs to take is to trade Makishima's life for Yuki's. Of course we as outsiders to this world know which is the correct answer, but to Akane, the discord between her judgement and Sibyl's disorients her view of right and wrong. Makishima has put people into these extreme circumstances to see how well people can actively defy the system, but what Akane is trying to do is not defy it but to bend the system to her own will. It really shows how her sense of justice really is still attached to the Sibyl system's. I suggest watching the sub for this scene to really see Akane's confidence in her judgement turn to desperation when the Sibyl system doesn't agree with her, and the despair that follows.
