this anime was amazing, first the setting.(also i am an avid anime viewer so i have watched enough to judge this) Setting and Story -the cyber punk world of Psycho-Pass is extraordinary the 'Sibyl System' has great philosophy and poses really good questions about society, law judgment and order etc. also the visuals for the setting of japan in this anime is beautiful. The Sibyl System is actively measuring the people's mental states, personalities, that will commit crimes, using a "cymatic scan" of the brain. The resulting assessment is called a 'Psycho-Pass' . When the chance of a person engaging in crimes measured by the Crime Coefficient exceeds a certain level in an individual, he or she is pursued and/or killed if necessary. This concept is just amazing.
Characters and Characterization- so are main female lead is Akane Tsunemori, he is a headstrong believer when it comes to justice her views really shape the series as a whole, as the series progresses she becomes aware of her boundaries and she is a very well shaped character and not your average anime girl which i can accept. and then there is are male lead Shinya Kogami a sort of rebel cop who really has strong views to society and his dialog is amazing, he also is a person of great value to the series but he stays for season 1 though, he is another well rounded character and this stays consistent through the series, on a side note the characterization of sibyl system a collective entity is a very nice step forward than your average hive mind villain or terminator sky-net.
Animation and Sound- Should i say more Porduction IG has out did them selves when it comes to the animation and the choice of soundtrack they went for is a different approach but it was good none the less, and yeah that is much i can say about it. oh and this anime is not for the light hearted because the leave no censorship when it came to its violent and gory nature.
The Villains- Shogo Makashima a criminally asymptomatic individual whose primary goal was to liberate the Japan of the Sibyl System. He is one f the best villain in all of anime. he is complex but sharp and mentions many pieces if classic literature e.g Gulliver's's travels and many others, Makishima is a humanist on the dark side: someone hopelessly in love with cruelty, savagery but he make you wonder. Kirito Kamui- He is a unique villain unlike Shogo Makashima he is a collective entity of one being who is like the Sibyl System, He is similar to the Sibyl System because in that he is also a collective mind housed in a physical body. Because of this, Sibyl is unable to render neither a Psycho-Pass nor a Crime Coefficient on Kamui, which leads him to deduce that Sibyl is a flawed system of justice. He believes, rightly or wrongly, that a perfect judge should be able to evaluate itself, as well as others.and this is just brilliant concept that should be explored further.(note Kamui is the main villain for season 2)
this anime has a very good English dub that is enjoyable and the sub is also very good i like them both but i just love the concept for the series as a whole. but this anime is not for the light hearted i mind you that, the shear blood and gore is understandable i would recommend anyone who is interested or who just love sci fi to check it out and as an anime it is beautiful, did i forget to mention the writing for this series is beautiful and they mentioned things like the Onimpetence Paradox.
I loved it and i understand if people wouldn't watch this or dislike the anime for any reason. Best anime ever? no, it isn't perfect, i am sure there is some flaws in there. i give this 9.7 out of 10
