After reading the thread and watching the first episode for myself, I gotta say that the setting and concept are definitely at least worth a three-episode test, but the characters are totally uninteresting and seemingly copy-pasted from other material. This is the only gripe that I could find though, in all honesty, looking at just the first episode. If you're a fan of character driven work, I don't think this is your cup o' tea. On the flipside, I'm willing to give the main character's complete lack of field skill some leniency because it allows room for growth, and from her mentioning she wrote a thesis on crime-coefficient contagiousness, I'm assuming she's just your typical bookworm idealist whose ethics and morality will clash with the grim reality of things, which will come down to your typical conflict between security vs. liberty. So it should be fun to see how Urobuchi runs with that (straight into the ground, perhaps).

Wouldn't that be interesting if Sibyl was actually some sentient process that's trying to self-perpetuate and protect its own existence as best it can by using (abusing?) humans? Like some kind of socio-technological symbiosis. So whenever anything threatens the Sibyl system, it'll bring down the hammer by marking it as a threat to all of society, and seeing as how Makishima doesn't particularly threaten the system (though he may threaten individual humans), he isn't considered a high priority.
