almost everything.

Keep telling yourself that.
The various other minor details on the site with regards to the setting and story of the show confirm that Psycho-Pass is a near-future detective thriller sort of anime, dealing with law enforcement in a high-tech world, etc. Sounds good to me!
Isn't this going to be all-CGI, or am I thinking of something else?

This is the weirdest and worst sort of change you could make to a show. I can't even tell which is "before" and "after" because there's no objective view of one being better or worse than the other, they're both simply completely different background and setting designs. It's really.... bizarre. >_<
Erm, it's bad because it's pointless revisionism. It is damaging to art when you change things without a good reason and without preserving what was done before. By completely changing backgrounds in the home video releases, it means they are removing and invalidating the existence of the TV versions from commercial release. This is really no different from what Lucas does with Star Wars with each release, trying to replace stuff and revise the "definitive" vision. It's bullshit and should be condemned.
It's like they're Lucas-ing their own shows but instead of waiting 20 years they're doing it after a few months.

I so want this
At least, unlike Lucas, they aren't adding more shitty CG.
Are you sure about that?
I have no love for what Lucas did to Star Wars in general in the 90s, but I consider the militant purists of the original cut to be... not an example I would follow in any way.
Even ignoring that there's a big difference between making cosmetic changes to a work that was released 20 years ago and had since cemented itself into popular culture as opposed to changing a niche work that is barely half a year old.
In short, nobody cares.
If the artists don't care about their work, why should anyone else?

We're just going to have to disagree on this. Art is a medium of personal expression and communication, and as such the artist is the ultimate authority on how this personal construct is composed, and that includes the right to revise. Whether it's from some internal drive to improve or acquiescing to the wishes and/or pressures from your audience. And yes, I absolutely believe that George Lucas was 100% well within his right to do what he did to the original movies, as undesirable as those changes would be to us. I may not like it, but I'm not going to claim moral superiority over a work that I had absolutely no hand in creating.
The original cuts of the Star Wars trilogy are important cultural artifacts. George Lucas is basically an art vandal. Especially since it's not like he made them all by himself.
It's not like I'm the only one in the world who holds that view, you know. Pretty much any serious film watcher would agree.pizzaroll's alt?
Well better invent some ultra sturdy screens.
Culture has really gone to shit if that's the case.The original cuts of the Star Wars trilogy are important cultural artifacts.

Whether you think they are worth that status has nothing to do with the fact that they are important parts of culture.Culture has really gone to shit if that's the case.
Not to defend SHAFT, but there is a difference between what they do and what Lucas does.It's like they're Lucas-ing their own shows but instead of waiting 20 years they're doing it after a few months.
Regardless of the quality, Star Wars is/was important.Culture has really gone to shit if that's the case.
Not all revision is bad, you guys make it sound like an artist should never touch a piece of artwork again if their pencil leaves the paper.
Think of it this way, imagine if the Louvre decided the Mona Lisa was outdated and they painted over it with their own take. People would be outraged regardless of the legality of doing so.
They shouldn't try to pass it off as the same thing if they have modified it though. There's nothing wrong with revisiting something and doing it differently if it is presented as a modified work. But trying to go back and change things you did to completely replace the previous work is wrong.
Any revisionism which replaces the existing work is bad. There is nothing wrong with multiple versions co-existing, but they should be properly communicated.
Finally some focus on Rito's sister, Mikan. This episode wasn't as amazing as the last one, but not much could compete with that one. Though I suppose it had this.

This should become a televised sport. I'd watch it.
Bah, it's not like I've heard anyone talk about the merits of Bakemonogatari. Going through old threads is too much of a pain in the ass. For the record, I don't think it's totally worthless. I just don't think the good outweighs the bad.Excellent contribution to the discussion!

No, you had it right the first time.
