I haven’t found the topic about the series and the movies and i consider it groundbreaking cyberpunk body of work. I watched it all and I could again. I’m sure there are fans here. What are some of your favourite moments?
"
In the near future, it’s possible to measure each person’s potential for violence. Inspector Akane Tsunemori, as part of a special unit, chases down these prospective criminals."
Not rambling when you have something functional to say bud. This adds to the conversation.
I feel like the whole “system is broke but still trust it” thing is actually closer to reality than what fiction normally depicts. We have TONs of proof that so many systems are broken but the certainty of how they work prevents corrections a lot of the time.
Also the “True Believer” character shows up in season 2, and whilst she has an arc she never stops believing in the system. She’s so indoctrinated that even with visible flaws she chooses the certainty of Sybil over any possible alternative.
And here’s the thing, Sybil DOES work for 99% of the population. It’s insanely accurate, and functions well, the problem is the people who slip through the cracks or hell even the ONE guy who the system never sees who’s only desire is to break the damn thing.
Obviously it’s not up your alley but man it really sells for me
