"Justice without force is powerless, Force without Justice is Tyranny." -Corvus Corax Primarch of the 19th Legion

As Silco said in Arcane "the base violence necessary for change"

"Violence is the supteme authority from which all other authority is derived." "If you do not possess the capacity for violence, you are not peaceful you are harmless"

The fact of the matter is that violence as a baseline option *must* exist for you to be able to pass *any* kind of nonviolent negotiation. If you aren't willing to get violent over what you believe to be the right thing to do, nobody has any reason whatsoever to compromise with you. If all you do is lay down and roll over when someone with more conviction than you deprives you of what you think should happen, you are not capable of negotiating.

Being comfortable around violence and understanding the gravity behind it. You learn to humble yourself around it and try you best to prevent it. But you will also know how to properly react when you experience it.

I feel like a large part of what makes phycopass so potent is that historically classes where always sent to deal with eachother. The poor will be sent to fight the poor.

Violence is like a fire, you'll hate it when it burns your house down but you'll cry for it in the dead of winter

Violence is the ultimate authority from which all authority is derived. It be like that sometimes.

Where words fail violence prevails. If you believe in something you'll be more then happy to fight for it

“You got to be a fighter if you want to be a lover. Otherwise what kind of love to you have if you aren’t willing to fight for it” -Keanu

If I may pull from another classic, Samurai Champloo, "One should not carry a sword if one is not able and willing to use it." This constitutes two separate disciplines when it comes to how one should approach violence: The capacity to bestow violence upon one's enemy and the wisdom of when to and when not to. One is a discipline of the body. The other is a discipline of the mind. You need both to develop a warrior mentality.

I think the best quote I've seen on the subject was from Bleach. "The Third Company's flower is a kinsenka the marigold. It symbolizes despair. Its also the symbol of our confidence and pride. Fighting isn't heroic. Its not meant to be exhilarating. Violence should only bring despair. Its dark, and terrifying. It must remain gruesome. Otherwise people won't fear it...and try to avoid it." ~Izuru Kira, Bleach Violence isn't a game. It is necessary, but, its also necessary for everyone to treat it with the gravity it deserves.

If you're not allowed or able or willing to commit some degree of violence, you cannot say you are treated as a human.

"to kill for youself is murder, to kill for your government is heroic, to kill for entertainment is harmless" -spec ops the line

"Vikings" were farmers, merchants, adventurers, and explorers. Raids were used to boost Status and wealth. "Viking" was a job

Violence is necessary because it's zoologically impossible to exist without it. Moreover, as civil or legal methods for effecting meaningful change or defeating real human evil become more and more useless, violence becomes the only recourse. We are rapidly nearing that point, and are in a race with those who would remove our ability and the means to not only protect ourselves from violence but mount sufficient force against our foe to overcome them without catastrophic loss. Weight of numbers can move mountains, but the cost in unnecessary losses is limited with access to these means. Act before it's too late. Swarm evil under. (In Minecraft.)

It IS necessary, to the point where it is a part of our nature. It IS human to be violent. Whether we like it or not, we are violent, and violence shapes us along with what we do when in violent situations.

Robert Heinlein has a good quote for this: "Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived." If you dont have power, if you dont have the capacity for violence, you can accomplish nothing. You’ll be treaded all over by the people who are willing to commit violence. And so if you want peace, if you want to be left alone, you have to demonstrate that you are not an easy target to attack. Reading Vinland Saga, I was getting frustrated by Thorfinn's uncompromising pacifism. I would think of moments where it would have been better if he did use more non lethal violence to let them know to take him more seriously. But watching the second season with my memories of the manga, I was pleasantly surprised to know that it wasn’t as black and white as I remembered. He uses violence as a last resort and doesn’t outright refuse to do so. He needs to use that supreme authority to ensure people will listen and hold a dialogue to reach an ultimately peaceful resolution to conflict.

Where the idea that debating with ideas is preferable over violence, from what I can gleam from a bigger picture perspective is it's always the largest group with the most guns who wind up calling the shots in the end.

Captivating video throughout; well done! Appreciate you making points by inferring and extrapolating rather than just summarizing a series' points.

Violence is not the answer, it is a question. It is always there. Rejection of violence is just as foolish as only ever answering yes. That is why vinland saga fails in its message to me. it abandoned a complex message for a simple one, "no violence, never commit violence, it is not necessary." foolish words from someone who has never experienced mindless aggression against them.

The probable best case scenario is to have controlled violence. The Code Duello existed for a reason. Mind you, it didn't always have to end in death. The Gauchos had a culture that dueled for scars with long knives and killing was seen as the killer being weak and lacking self control. Germans had a similar ethos about sabers at one point. Without a socially accepted and controlled method of expressing that part of our nature, with rules and rituals, it will start to come out in unhealthy ways.

PSYCHO-PASS has always reminded me of "Those Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula LeGuin. The suffering of a few for the happiness of many, and those who walk away from the violence.

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.

Always love your videos keep up the good work! I am trying to get into some of the anime you cover, so thank you!

beautiful video. thank you for reminding me of a life beyond the violence I've seen within my own family. I wish you well

very well done I like your final take, and I think you covered many of the less obvious perspectives. Which is quite impressive considering the abundance of fairly simplistic takes usually found on youtube.

One of first classes I had in Law College was "State General Theory", basically beta Constitutional Law class, my teacher asked "Do you know why the State can maintain it's existence ?", after some answers, he explained "The State is capable of it because it holds the monopoly of the force, the society allow it to justifiably apply violence".

gotta say, i love violence as fiction, ofc i wish it could stay as such there's is something truly primal to liking violence, it's in all of us idk

"Two men stand on a stage. One gives quite a rousing speech, to much applause, confident in his ignorance. The other man, quite knowledgable politely replies "i can not speak on the matter." What he does not say is the red dot on the back of his temple is the cause for his silence; not ignorance.

Fantastic video, mans just created the next series on my watchlist

Another wonderful video Prof ☕☺️ I learned a lot again, I suspect I will probably watch this one over again like my other favorites of yours, thanks again Prof

Only 11 minutes into the video I had to pause and just order my thoughts into writing. Your way of speaking is invigorating, Prof, and I really love it. I will copy-paste what I wrote here and then continue to watch the video. Society is essentially humans giving up (a significant) part of their freedom to gain safety. Humans then serve that society to uphold those ideals of safety and this rings true even if the society doesn't adequately provide said safety to all. Just think of the needless deaths of the poor and homeless people at the bottom, who through unfortunate circumstances have landed themselves there. With a more egalitarian spread of resources (and I count love under those resources as well), they wouldn't have to suffer or die, would be kept safe from those things. Yet the societal system (capitalism) is too big to be concerned with it. In serving a system, rather than serving our fellow humans, a part of our humanity is lost by following the rules. And no wonder a giant book of rules, a bureaucracy that strives to protect the existing order first and foremost, is too blind to the plight of humans to actually rule any manner of justice. We have made ourselves believe that dominance, an existing order, a society like the one we have built right now is necessary in order to sustain life. That we would all become violent, selfish animals were we to go back to living without it. But the cultures of natives all over the world, have taught us differently. Their languages, for the longest time, didn't even possess the words to describe things like dominance or rule, some languages didn't even have a different word for 'I' and 'we'. This way you can see how language shapes our thinking- and how we've now entrapped ourselves with it, in certain ways. Fear is our base instinct yes- but as shamanism has taught me: It is merely the seed of compassion, the love for yourself and the love for your loved ones expressed in it's negative form. Humans, in nature, are still pack animals. We overcome fear by banding together, by finding safety in the group- by knowing that we're cared for by the others when we need them, just as they care for us. We have attempted to build groups so big they encompass everyone (society), even the ones that we'd normally bully or cast out. But in reality it has brought us further away from our own nature and nature as a whole. Instead of spreading resources around and caring for each other, we just follow the system, ignoring the plight of our neighbors. We envision the system as just, accept it as normal- and thus pretend that the ones at the top deserve their riches, since they worked hard for it- that the ones at the bottom must have not been able to fit in enough- thus are flawed and deserve their fate as well. And the ones that don't believe so? They feel too entrapped within the system (needing to focus on their own survival) to do anything more than donate what they can miss to charities. This is how we've let fear rule us, how compassion gets lost. And yet- true human nature shines through in the way we still care for our friends and loved ones- despite how selfish and narcissistic we supposedly are. We understand that existence is transactional - but that it doesn't need some sort of big overruling system to dictate how and when these transactions happen. You don't have to be fearful of the end when you understand that everything is a cycle, that beginning and end are merely synonyms- the only constant being the change and transformation all around. You don't have to feel bad about consuming another living things in order to sustain your own existence when you understand that we're all made from the same life energy- and that what we consume will live on within us, endlessly- as much as we will live on within others too (in various ways). The indominable human spirit is one that can transform fear into compassion and resides within us all- and I will do everything I can to wake that sleeping spirit in everyone I meet. It is through healing that we'll change the world for the better, I truly believe that.

Such a great video - I learn so much and it give me new thoughts

I love your video's. There very relatable. Keep up the hard work!🙂

First of your videos I've ever seen. Really enjoyed it and I really enjoyed how you linked the animes and explained your position. I always think about the opening line of the Sith Code - Peace is a lie. I believe this. We can't have peace without violence which means we cannot have peace

Anyone who says anime isn’t for adults should watch Psycho Pass. I don’t think I have seen a more philosophical anime. I know there are more philosophical animes out there but Psycho Pass does it best. Ergo Proxy is very philosophical but it can feel like a slog at times. I never felt that way watching Psycho Pass. Also Makashima’s speech to Akane regarding free will, in the sewer, is awesome.

Another masterpiece bro. Just remember nothing good worth having is obtained in a day

"Look yonder, at your butcher gods. Ten thousand men and women lie dead at their feet. Bask in their efficacy! Are they not spectacular at turning men into ghosts? Behold! The awesome fires of God. The limitless power of pure creation itself. Look carefully! Observe how it is used for the same purpose a man might use an especially sharp rock." - Meti-ten-Ryo, Kill Six Billion Demons

I wasn't expecting a Jormungand part! most people don't know about this gem

Clicked on this to disagree... and after the first 1:30 minutes you somehow compiled a thought of mine I couldn't quite put to paper while struggling to write short stories devoid of any concept of violent conflict. So yeah ... Great video! Smooth editing! Also funny of you to say its difficult to pull off multiple episodes of just people talking while your youtube channel is more or less just a series of hour long monologues :P

Whats ironic is i was listening to this while sharpening my knife a shitty “self defense” combat blade and thinking on all those ideas and thoughts on the necessity of violence helped me focus so thanks professorviral i put a hair shaving edge on a walmart quality blade thanks to your great speech skills

Don't comment on videos often but very very well done!

This is a fantastic analysis, thanks!! Psycho Pass is an important sci-fi dystopian story to watch or read. It raises many important questions about how society should look.

Earned a sub just started but loving it already!!!

Awesome video! I think people tend to forget that even the most peaceful of societies, are enforced by equally violent means. When your actions have no consequences upon yourself, youre free to do whatever you please, no matter how egregious. The violent minority will have far heavier impact than the peaceful majority

Another banger video. So well said and I hope to see you again soon too Mr viral.

Bro you did all my top anime’s thank you for real 🤤🤤🤤

Never before have I seen one summarize the nature of original sin's effects on our world today, and the fundamental struggle of living as Christ did. He told us to love our neighbor as ourselves but never said what to do when you see neighbor A beating neighbour B. Whether you know it or not the Spirit guides your words and deeds. May he continue to give you inspiration that you may inspire others

I did'nt know that the same person that came up with Madoka Magica came up with Psych- Pass. By the way I have almost completed watching 100 anime series.

I'd be very interested to see you dig deeper post S1 Psycho Pass - I know it's a huge stretch for so many people who love S1, but I think it's a bit of a shame that there's this cloud that is Gen Urobuchi that people just can't seem to get over and prevents them from facing the work (imperfect and sometimes unnecessarily complicated as it is) without continuously referring to S1 or looking for "the way Urobuchi did this and that". Post S1, the series and characters continue to evolve (not necessarily in the way people expect or are looking for), in the context of this "violence" that was the topic of your video plus more, and specially because these themes come full circle in the latest iteration, Providence. You've seen it all (I assume you saw Providence), and I'm sure you know, the philosophical themes are less on the nose, and admittedly the convoluted plot probably makes it a bit harder to digest plus the show no longer holds the audience's hand and instead gives them the tools to dig deeper into it. What I've discovered is that this series rewards interest and commitment to understand the story being told, granted there is a LOT of Japanese cultural/historical/political context in there that won't necessarily be immediately relatable to foreign audiences unwilling to look at it in that lens. The fact that there's so many aspects of the plot that were ahead of it's time (ex. PP3's depiction of AI in 2019, before CGPT exploded - when you think about how anime production happens in spans of years before release this was quite amazing) and remains to be relevant in current times, I wish more people would open their eyes to what Psycho Pass is truly about. Psycho Pass is a plot-driven series that has strong characters, not the other way around. This is up to you of course, your channel your decisions - but this is a roundabout way to (request) and challenge you because your vids are great even if I don't agree with everything you say ☺ edit: and wondering if you've developed (for the best) in terms of the way you see characters like Mika but that's another thing.

I've had several discussion with friends about this, both exclaiming the need for violence in specific situations, and how, in for example martial arts/boxing, violence without anger can be incredibly fun and cathartic. I have often been very dissapointed by having the line "violence is never the answer" given back, and how they cant seem to seperate orderly violence within boundaries, from straight up moronic street fights. In truth I mostly see the "no violence" argument coming from the men I know that seem to be afraid of it in its enterity, and unfortunatly seem to confuse cowardice with ethical behaviour. Especially as men we have an inate desire for violence at times, and the task lies in mastering that side of yourself, so that you can exert control over these urges, and know when it is required. As such I honestly find it hard to trust the guys that never have had a physical confrontation, as they seem to lack trust and confidence in themselves as well. And from experience, the two most dangerous types of men are those that will resort to violence without a second thought, and those that are so deathly afraid of it, than any confrontation makes them instantly go to "kill or be killed" survival/anxiety mode. Both of these kind of men shows a weakness of character in my eyes, and more often than not, seem to struggle with how to express their masculinity in a healthy way.

fitting video for recent events

Never seen this guy before but he’s got a good UKposts voiceover voice gonna sub liked the video

"Violence is the supreme authority, from which all other authority is derived." "To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." People believe these two statements are in conflict. What they fail to realize is that violence is not the first form of authority, but rather, what the first authority relies on for it's credibility.

i would argue a large amount of weapons prevents violence to a large degree. Most gun deaths in the US are from suicides and a vast major is from gang violence. Hardly any is from school shootings or this mall shooting up the road from me. There’s roughly 3 million self defense uses each year that results in no deaths. Cops and teachers at schools with guns will prevent schools being targeted. Violence takes the path of least resistance. So the actor will go to the place that’s easiest to commit their violence. Which with concealed carry where it’s a fact these people on avery have way more training that. cops themselves. The violence can e neutralized with self defense. Self defense can not be violence. It’s a protective measure not with the intention to kill but put in that position to protect yourself and others. One is violence one is heroic.

I'll forever remember Dragonball Z Abridged and Android 16's speech to Gohan

Therr always being a bigger stick can also be a message of Hope ❤ You're always able to ride above the current greatest oppressive power🎉

This is an amasing video, again I'd like to add two ideas to the discussion though 1: Kaspar's coment that if there's no iron he will sell clubs is a good point on one hand, but he seems to forget that if people need to use clubs that in of itself is a stopper. Of course there are some special cases, but usually if people have to face the violence like that, up close and personal, a lot less will choose it. A button to press or even a trigger to pull puts distance between you and your victim. During the cold war someone (I forgot his name) suggested to put the key to nuclear warfare inside a person and let the president carve it out with a knife if he decided to launch another bomb, so he would have to face at least a little of the horror he would spread. So yes, there will always be violence and always a market for it's tools, but the more primitive the tools get, the less likely people are to choose them. 2: Is anyone else such a big fan of the concept that they made Koko kompletely snow white? She looks innocent, even angelic and then turns to be this nearly lucifer like being, claiming to be greater than god. (Sorry that one's pointless, I'm just a fan)

This video reminded me of two things The first is Arcane. The "villain" Silco fights a revolution for the independence of the lower class, and understands that his methods are unsavory yet necessary to make his people's voice heard, and has a monologue about "the base violence necessary for change." Theres a lot of nuance to it, but the line has stuck with me since i first heard it. Theres another quote in that show about "once a weapon is made, it cannot be unmade and will always be used" which i feel matches this videos themes. The second is the video of Oppenheimer talking about the first nuclear bomb test; the infamous "i am become Death, destroyer of worlds" video. Reading the quote almost makes him sound proud, but watching the video of him saying it is much different. The video shows a very haunted man who was very much in a "if its not me, itll be someone else" situation. The look on his face as he talks about it says he is fully aware of the widespread and long-term effects of his creation.

Understanding what you said in the Vinland Saga section: Humans make things far more complex than they have to be. In everything. There are many times I wonder why we exist.... Many times. Currently, I'm like Thorfin: in a state of existing until I can finally stop, but not living. Been in that state for over a year, now. People tell me they are glad I am still making it... But I don't know what the point is. I knew what content this latest season of Vinland Saga had, and because I am in a similar mental state, to Thorfin, I have not watched it, yet.

I always accepted violance as part of all things in life. It just at different levels. I believe understanding brings peace, but kindness should be discarded if it gets in the way of finding peace. Kindness in a way is not peace. Only those who know violence can understand each other and thus can achieve peace. Kindness just makes it easier to reach conversation.

The artist Leslie Fish has a phenomenal song about the necessity of violence called "The Sun Is Also A Warrior"

Well this is timely with the third Intifada

I wrote a paper in college about the necessity of violence after reading things fall apart and heart of darkness. It was pretty good and I made some similar points to you, but i just couldn't put together anywhere near this comprehensively.... so damnit, if only I had watched psycho-pass by then! Maybe I could've written the perfect paper 😔

I just thought of something everyone has their own personal laws they live their life by because people can only do one thing at one time people have to make choices on how they spend their time because to do one thing it's the temporarily give up doing anything else. And to achieve major goals you necessarily need to give up a lot of things to achieve them so people give themselves rules be able to achieve goals easier.

Hey, I'm just happy to see Jormungandr mentioned

Human violence is just training for when we get out into space, find aliens, and then kick THEIR ass.

There is no justifiable violence, violence in a sense of an strict act against law. Meaning all and every crime, and harm is injust. Something such as a "accidental murder while defending yourself or someone else from an aggressor" is no violence in my opinion, for it is just in the eyes of law

In hindsight I can't understand how the society in Psycho Pass can become so advanced technologically and then ultimately fail to understand the human condition on such a fundamental level. But if I'm fair even in this ear of 2023 that I'm watching this knowledge of how nuanced the effect of stress in it's many forms has on any individual is only now becoming knowledge that is readily available to the mass. Gabor Matès "The Body Keeps the Score" is a good example of this subject.

Opening the video with FLCL. Nice.

"I wanna punch stuff, I wanna punch stuff, I wanna punch-slam-boom-bang-kick, PUNCH STUFF" - All of humanity, probably ever

@ProfessorViral I think you should read C.S Lewis essay on the necessity of Chivalry, all throughout the video i thought that was the best answer to the question at the end.

What struck as entirely absurd in the most chilling way: At 02:38 he says "One disgruntled man in a mall who hasn't even bothered anyone yet, is a cause for dispatching two officers" - I realised how often that happens in the actual world. Its only now that he mentioned it this way (i'd previously watched psycho-pass), the exact thing happened to me, in a mall...and I wasn't even disgruntled...just black.

Maquiavel art of war. 04 choices a soldier must learn in a battlefild. Rumelt 04 types of competitive advantage. Life is made of 04 choices. Atcg dna for a reason. In law, 04 types of rights, as the 04 types of situations in the trolley dilemma. Great analisys. Godspeed.

I finally got around to watching Vinland Saga and have returned to watch this

1 person with a gun can control 100 without one.....i myself am not going to hope for the mercy of the guy holding it. id rather be able to give mercy than hope it will be given to me.

Jesus Christ, the quality of these videos with this low a subscriber and view count must be a sin, this is some great-ass content

Everything in existence works on equilibrium, for there to be peace one must know the cost of absolute violence

I don't like violence, but i understand that it is necessary for change. The oversimplification I've seen particularly from vinland saga fans is troubling. Without violence, complacency is absolute, and no change can be made. To see a better world, people have had to die, for all of history, that doesn't just stop when you start saying "I have no enemies." I don't like that, but as someone who plans to change the world, I understand that to make change, some level of conflict is necessary, and the outcome is what determines whether the lives lost were worth it in order to save and protect the future generations.

Philosophy in Our Modern Era. These concepts are important, especially now.

I love the video but... you gotta increase the volume man.

The question of Violence I feel is best summed up for me in three tenets. 1) (If possible) Live and let live. 2) Meet Violence proportionally with an equal or exceeding amount necessary to nullify any threat. 3) When fighting monsters, be careful to not become one, for if you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss will stare back into you.

Succession made debates into a show and thats great

It's nice to find a fellow dub watcher

Violence isn't evil in and of itself, it is simply one facet of our being; in the same way, Love isn't in itself good, it just is. Violence can absolutely be used to oppress, but it can also be used to protect and liberate. Religious texts, martial arts schools, military training, (and many other sources, I'm sure) stress not a complete rejection of violence, but of integrating violence through discipline and self control. Without the ability to enact violence, you cannot protect yourself or those you love. There's a character from Beastars that really helped me conceptualize this: He's the grandfather of the main character, a sweet old man whose a pacifist (

I think the dealing with violence is to not shy away from looking at it. it happens, it is human,and we can only mange if if we accept that yes its human but can we reduce it and harm reduction.Violet games, fufill a need, itsgood toletou. But to deal with our worst impuses, we need toconfrot them. That we are capable, all of us in a bad situation. There is no good vs bad in most cases, What i think is good toshow the consquences,while leaving healthy outlets and not ignore that there isntgood vs bad in near al cases. I have ideals, violece isntgood but,i gowith its a last resort and can be nessesary. And to reduce it you got to accept and understnd it and make people understand their capabiities,the wight it has to deal responsibly ,or try to

I find beastars the best when it comes to pacifism "pacifism only holds meaning when the upstrong hold it" and it as dont automatically use violence but do use it if others refuse to resolve there problems pacifism/peacefully

An unfortunate part of why violence is so easy to turn to is that it feels good in the moment. As a child, I would respond to pain with violence, even if it was an accident, and at the time it was gratifying. All the negative feelings that welled up in me were suddenly, explosively released. It wasn't until my brother asked if I hated him that I realized how much pain I caused. Hurting others feels good, and I believe that the most visceral among the myriad other reasons that people choose violence is one of the strongest. Exemplified through Thorkell and his unending thirst for a fight. He seemed happiest after fighting Thorfinn, even if it didn't end in one of them dying after all. Disclaimer: My brother and I have worked through things years ago and are on good terms, but it doesn't change the shitty things I did as a kid

"I think everyone should be peaceful" -The Lion

beautiful video and great series to showcase. Perhaps berserk should have featured too.......

Too add to the comment of use from the Jormungand section, there's a good chance that the same company that made your washing machine and dryer also made the system's vital to the guns on the A-10 Warthog, one of the most famous warmachines in the US arsenal.

I think it's important to remember that the Pandora's Box you talk about, predates humans, and perhaps could be described as as old as life itself. Violence is the natural result of unrestrained competition- or rather, competition in its natural state of being, without arbitrary rules and morality. Perhaps it could be said that Pandora's Box opened first when the first single-celled organism predated another; or maybe it was when the first parasitic or predatory forms of life came to emerge, but I'd argue it's inherent to life itself. It's no coincidence that our species- humanity- has risen to be the dominant species on the planet, the alpha predator; it's the result of the evolution of violence (and survival, which necessitated either violence and/or the means to propagate despite violence, long before humans) reaching its most successful peak as we know it- our species.

The main issues with weapon violence is 1 it starts with mental health issues and self control or a lack there of. Whether it's a gun, abomb a knife, a car, a bat, a poison, a big stick, a rock or someones bare hands. What matters is the mental health, intentions, and the self control of the individual. And 2 that there is literally no way to actually stop it. People are ALWAYS going to find a way to hurt and kill each other. That's why it's often even if well intentioned a reactionary and idiotic stance to try and ban things like knives or guns. The object isn't the issue, its the person in control of it.

ya know there is a manga called 'the great sage was executed and came back as the demon lord' which tackles the concept of what is a fantasy demon lords role? what is the point of them in the fantasy stories we all love so much? and more than that, what happens if they disapear? it tackles the ideals side of this disscusion and i personally REALLY want to see it animated cause i have a feeling SO MANY people would love it and mind you, there are shows where you could say you agree with the villain or at least understand them and i think thanos was the closest any villain came to justifying mass slaughter of countless numbers of people and doing it in a way many people NEARLY agreed with but the story i mentioned full stop...... i would FULLY commit to aiding the stories protag despite him living up to the title of demon lord and i wont spoil anything in particular aside from saying that but really.... what you said around the 35 minute mark is something i didnt just feel on a deeper level but understand intensly......

Fantastic

i guess we undersrtand his stance on season 2 now 😂

A necessary sacrifice to end suffering reminds me of Ayin from Lobotomy Corporation, and the question of: do the ends justify the means?

The real goal is if you want to be a better person or destroy everything

Psycho pass is one of the best, subtle dystopia shows.
