OP--spoilery

It's not that I hate how she was written or anything. She was perfectly written. She's absolutely devoted to her own conception of justice and order, and she's thrown into situation after situation that would shake a normal person, and she keeps to her rules, because that's the point--she's not a normal person, she's the kind of person who can keep a perpetually low Psycho-Pass. She's Makishima's counterpart in emotional steadiness, as Kougami is his counterpart in chaotic behavior.

But I can sympathize with Kougami, because he feels like a normal, sane person in an essentially insane society, and I can at least feel some comradery with Makishima as one of the few people who understands there's something wrong. (He reminds me of V from V for Vendetta, another dangerous nutcase who kills good people for being in his way and still comes out rosy compared to what he's up against.) Akane's so alien to me that I can't even sympathize with her, and her decision not to do anything about Sibyl is, by my admittedly bizarre moral standards, one of the most evil things I've ever seen on television. (Way to combine "It's worse for me to make folks suffer and die than for them to suffer and die because I did nothing" with "Organized sacrifice of innocent people is totally okay if it saves more lives." Not to mention "I know these people aren't really inferior, but society depends too much on this system to free them," which should have gone out of style along with slavery.)

She didn't decide to do nothing. She decided that destroying the system with no safety net was a bad idea, and is going to work to try and change it from the inside and make something better. If she just blew it up there'd be a power vacuum and chaos.

Mh... I get what you mean, but I disagree? I think Akane knows the system is wrong but that trying to bring it down by force will just get her killed and change nothing. She can do more damage to the system from the inside, I guess we'll see how she deals with it in the next season.
