Psycho-Pass: Providence: NOT A REVIEW
When I went to watch PPP, I was sure that I was going to do a massive breakdown and more on here, like I had seen so many fans do - it almost felt like I'd be letting down the fandom if I didn't tbh...
But I didn't end up doing one. For various energy and ADHD-related reasons, but also because the film left me feeling so very satisfied that I honestly felt like I had nothing to say. Nothing needed to be said.
So here is a bit more of me saying nothing:
The film truly was a representation of what a cast and crew of people who have held a story with them for over a decade can do even with the most straightforward plotline. I honestly forgot that I was watching animated characters on screen - the way their voices worked - especially Kougami, Akane, Saiga, Shion and Gino (because of course Gino) was so REAL.
I love the fact that in a sci-fi cyberpunk dystopia set in 2115 onward, there is really no attention to detail in the sci-fi part of things. That's always been the beauty of the storytelling in Psycho-Pass. The computers, vehicles, the non-Dominator weaponry, the medical stuff, gender and patriarchy, even the architecture - all of it is UNfuturistic af. And that's beautiful! I know it probably has to do with budgets and timelines, but I think the simplicity of the world also draws attention to the priorities of Japanese society in the story.
Also, I've read a few takes about the whole KouAka thing. The idea that when they met in SEANu their chemistry was off the charts and then they went back to being awkward in PPP. But I think that was the point. Because of the way Japan is structured under Sybil, there is no scope for straying from your path or playing beyond the role you have been assigned. So in the wilderness, they could push boundaries. I think the same happened when Gino and Kou met outside Japan. But under Sybil, you are consistently under watch and so you toe the line. Again, I think this is a brilliant storytelling detail.
Ginoza Nobuchika. My beloved. He had so many beautiful moments in the story. Even though he didn't contribute much to the plot per se. But for that very reason, he seemed like a whole person in this film, someone who wasn't being driven by lofty ideals or unreasonable motivations. Just a dude, chilling, kicking ass, looking gorgeous, detaching his prosthetic to escape an explosion, saving lives. How wonderful it is for him to have reached here. Gives me so much hope for the future. For me.
And this. Of course.
So I just want to congratulate the entire team behind this film for giving us a great chapter in the epic tale of Psycho-Pass.

Today (well, half an hour ago) was Peter Lorre’s death day, and in honour of him I've been watching some of his films: The Chase, My Favourite Brunette, Was Frauen träumen, and Number 5 Checked Out (screen director's playhouse). I’m closing off the day with this drawing inspired on one of my favourite rough gems that he played in: The Chase, a dream-like film noir where a man suffering from hallucinations is a chauffeur to a dangerous criminal. Gino, played by Lorre, is his right hand man and occupies this man's imagination as a death-like figure, chasing after him in Havana. My favourite part is when they first meet, standing in a hallway filled with Grecian pillars. I decided to draw him in a Casa Colonial, the type I grew up with in Venezuela and also haunt my own dreams.

I got a cupcake for the birthday boy!!!
I don’t have any merch coz I can’t get any in my country and importing is wayyy too expensive so I settled for his picture on my laptop and gave him all my heart 🫰❤️!!!
I hope I will see others who are as crazy as me not just about him but any character!!!
Being college student is hard! I have end semester exams coming up so I couldn’t really go out like I wanted to or order psycho-pass manga but for now I am happy with how much I can do for my Nobu-chan and I am sure I am one step closer to making him a shrine 🛐🛐🛐
(I know my sincere efforts can woo him when I isekai! Or find him here 😭🫰)
