09. [SPOILERS for Psycho Pass]
http://i.imgur.com/4H0Uvqo.png

Kogami dying would suck, but I can do that. Akane dying? Hell no. In fact I think it goes entirely against the point of her character. Akane could deal with Kogami's death and move on. She's tough as nails. It's not going to be less painful for her to just die. :\

... The timing of this secret is impeccable.

Anyway, considering what this series has done to my heart (re: tore it to shreds and stepped on the remaining bits), yes it's hard to think there'd be a good ending. But if I had to choose one or both of them to die, it's Kogami. Because then Akane will definitely not break from that, instead becoming even more of badass and having a shot at stopping the fucked up system in this series.

spoilers for Psycho Pass

[Picture is Shinya Kogami and Akane Tsunemori, characters from the anime "Psycho Pass". Kogami is a young man with light skin and short dark hair wearing a dark blue suit. Akane is a young woman with light skin and short light hair wearing a white blouse and a dark dress jacket. They are bloodied and smiling at each other with closed eyes, upside down one from the other's perspective and with their heads lying next to each other.]

If they meet again in Season 2, there's a good chance that one of them will die. I'll pray on the tiny chance they both end up dead by the end of the season.

I don't even ship them all that much, but I think that's the least painful out of the possible Urobutcher outcomes.

"Urobutcher" is a reference to the writer of the series, Gen Urobuchi, who has a history of putting characters through horrific scenarios and death.

Which one I want to die depends on how I approach the series.

On the one hand, I'm a big fan of V for Vendetta, and I think V-like measures are the only reasonable way of destroying a government so powerful that it can literally control what citizens are and aren't allowed to think about. Akane could never pull that off, but Kogami could, so I want to root for Kogami.

On the other hand, I have the feeling Urobichi himself agrees with Akane's philosophy--it gets more description and more monologues devoted to it in Season 1, whereas Kogami's philosophy is more implied. That means that he's unlikely to allow Kogami to achieve meaningful change in a way inconsistent with Akane's philosophy.* Thus, if I want to hope for an ending where Sybil is destroyed, I most likely have to hope for an ending where Akane lives.

* It's possible he'll let Kogami or someone else violently destroy Sybil, then show the aftereffects in the form of social chaos and a great many dead innocents. If he actually does that, my opinion of him will rise a notch. (Or better yet, Akane finds a way to lawfully remove Sybil, and innocents die anyway--I don't think there's any way to remove Sybil at this point without at least sparking riots.)
