The Scales of Justice <299/300> is the first episode of season 2 of the anime series Psycho Pass, Extended Edition (Original Japanese Version). In this gripping episode, we are re-introduced to the world of Psycho Pass, set in a dystopian future where society's psychological tendencies are constantly monitored. The episode starts with Akane Tsunemori, the lead character, who has become an inspector, investigating an incident in which a drone dropped a package into a crowded street, resulting in several deaths.

Meanwhile, another team of inspectors is examining a case involving a woman who has been attacked by a man wearing a strange mask. Upon further investigations, it becomes clear that the assailant is someone who had been sent to a prison colony for being a latent criminal, but who has now returned, seemingly cured of their criminal tendencies. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the Psycho Pass system.

As events unfold, the two cases converge, and Akane discovers a plot to use the drones to strike at the very heart of the Psycho Pass system. She must race against time to stop the villains behind the scheme before they can bring about the destruction of society as we know it.

This episode is a great reintroduction to the world of Psycho Pass, and it raises interesting questions that will likely be explored in the episodes to come. Fans of the series will be excited to see familiar characters like Akane and Shinya Kogami (who makes a brief appearance in this episode), and the show's trademark blend of action, dystopian sci-fi, and psychological themes is present in full force.

Visually, the episode is stunning - the dark cityscapes and futuristic technology are gorgeously rendered, and the action sequences are thrilling. The voice acting is also excellent, with the characters' emotions and motivations coming through clearly.

Overall, The Scales of Justice <299/300> is a strong opening episode for the second season of Psycho Pass. It sets up intriguing plot threads and raises thought-provoking questions that will keep viewers engaged. Fans of the first season will be pleased with this continuation of the story, and newcomers will quickly become enthralled by the show's rich world-building and engaging characters.
