The series have the same showcase of "Law versus Crime", the only difference is the themes. In terms of characters Death Note revolves around two Genius students with different personality and the anti-hero holding a handy-dandy Reaper Notebook while Psycho-Pass revolves between Cops using Advance Techno weapon that has full duplex psychological inspection that switches the gear from a Neurological paralyze r to Anti-matter shooting bullet and Masterminds that have odd different assassination fetish.
Both anime are dark, deal with crime, and have detectives attempting to catch the criminals committing them.
Society Problems + deaths + mysteries + people using deduction + Police + totally unpredictable .................
* Both have action and criminal scenes.
* Both have genius enemies.
* Both have characters how fight to change the state of the world.
* Both are unpredictable as the next chapters.
* Both have a character how rejects the state of the society.
Similar gritty tone with several shared themes. Psycho-Pass places a heavier emphasis on action but, much like Death Note, does not rely on action to progress the story.
Killing criminals. The best way to eradicates evilness throughout the whole. Psycho-Pass and Death Note definitely shares the same mindset.
Another anime that features the opposition of two geniuses. But these time both, unlike Light and L, the main hero and the main villain BOTH have criminal psychology which essentially makes them similar rather than different.
Two master minds battling each other..
Another tries to captura another to become GOD.
This series is just brilliant investigating, failures, victories, sadness, shinigamis, evil vs good set up.. But what really is evil to become god and what cost?

CYBER punk world ruled by advanced technology (the population's over-reliance on tech tools borders on unhealthy). Humans playing gods in a vain attempt to superfically suppress social malaises, ala Orwell's 1984. Dystopian narratives with elements borrowed heavily from loads of thought-provoking literature and philosophy.
Protagonists' increasing sense of self-awareness causes psychological alienation from blissfully unaware masses, leading them to be caught in truly tense, nail-biting Catch-22 situations and often tosses them between following their ingrained values and (eventually) questioning the system.
Antagonists are hard to hate anti-heroes who, unlike the former, have clear albeit destructive purposes in sight. They are often resolutely unwavering in the pursuit of their Machiavellian goals and will stoop to anything to get things done, i.e., murders, but they are usually well-justified in the grand scheme of things. Rationale being: What's a few human sacrifices, amidst the ensuing anarchy, compared to fulfilling a "noble" cause... which is revolting against a firmly-placed and unquestioned system?
Great dark art styles and BGM. Catchy titles.
Ergo Proxy is easily my favorite out of the two but I have spent years trying to find a substitute worthy of its greatness and I have to say, PP meets the criteria but throws in more action and gore/violence (not a big fan but yeah).
Both are cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk anime highly influenced by Hollywood sci-fi movies like Blade Runner.
The main characters in both anime exercise the police power to keep the order in their ideal worlds:
- Ergo Proxy is set in an utopia (going wrong), while Psycho-Pass is set in a dystopia.
Ergo Proxy and Psycho-Pass share a dystopian setting combined with a heavy philosophical backdrop, with beautiful animation, dark cinematography, and a cold, dominating, yet enjoyable score backing them up.
The philosophies covered in Ergo Proxy and Psycho-Pass tackle different topics, but Proust ideals are brought up in both shows. While Ergo Proxy tries to tackle too many philosophical ideas, Psycho-Pass has only a few core ideas it explores from a variety of angles, using themes present in Phillip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and William Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" (among others) to illustrate its themes.
If you have viewed and enjoyed Ergo Proxy, then hopping into Psycho-Pass should fit like a glove.
It can be argued, but I have an opinion that Ergo Proxy is similar to Psycho-pass.
When i was watching Ergo Proxy i found this anime with very grim environment, which i liked a lot. And now I'm watching Psycho-Pass with the almost the same feeling of situation. So, according to this, perception of these 2 anime is hard and complicated. Also what is most important is that Ergo Proxy and Psycho-Pass are present in the future and stories tell us about how "afterworld" affect on our characters and what happens with people's initiative, that can be the main highlight of these anime by genre - SCI-FI. Withal, such kind of anime always supported by "FUNimation Entertainment". In addition, both anime are full of action and involving descriptions what make both of them surprisingly interesting.
I'm pretty sure that those who liked Ergo Proxy without any doubts will like Psycho-Pass not less.
I found these two series a bit similar given their settings, themes, and backgrounds.
Both series takes place in a setting beyond our present times with advanced technology. They have a sort of dystopia like feeling to them. As such, both series employs the usage of science fiction featured throughout each episode.
Both series main protagonists are cold, independent, and have skills that makes them who they are. As such, they use those skills throughout the series to deal with issues and problems going on in their worlds.
Both series features action, drama, and gives off a general serious tone. Murders and crimes are also expected in both perspective series.
Both series have dystopia as settings. They both have intense action scenes while these are not the main focus of the anime. Both of these animes have fascinating plot starting with fascinating backgrounds, and I would strongly recommend watching both series. While Psycho-Pass is straightforward for the most part, Ergo Proxy may be frustrating at times for some.

Both Protagonists are kinda labeled as the anti-heroes and both have a dark past which both have antagonists that can be compared to with Vicious and Makishima. Set in a futuristic world with a Noir atmosphere, its a must see!
Both anime share a near future setting where technology has an important role in society. Kougami is a character similar to Spike in the way they think and both have an archnemesis which wants to play with their mind and twist it.
Cowboy Bebop has a unique style, while Psycho-Pass tries to put the viewer to reason about society. Psycho-Pass will surely not disappoint Cowboy Bebop fans.
Psycho-Pass has that dark futuristic adult story telling just like Cowboy Bebop minus the Jazz.
Both series are set in the future and center around police work, cowboy bebop specifically bounty hunting. Kougami and Spike are very similar in personality as well as Makishima and Vicious.
How do I put this... Cowboy Bebop is like the tv series Firefly but grittier and cooler. Psycho-Pass has a Cowboy Bebop feel but it's like a mix o Bebop, Bladerunner and the Minority Report with a tad of Equilibrium thrown in there.
Both are Sci-Fi, both have the "cool" factor, and both are filled with great animation, music and characters.
If you love either of these then I really can't imagine not loving the other. Both are amazing action Sci-Fi series!
-Both series take place in the near future
-Both series have a main male protagonist who uses guns and has a badass attitude (Spike being the layed-back, energetic kind while Shinya is the more calm, collected kind)
-Both series have great action scenes

Both are set in a plausible futuristic setting focused on some police authority. Action scenes litter throughout both series, and when done, they're brilliantly choreographed. Like any two great sci-fi, both looks critically into the social implications of technology, the ethical considerations, and any significant impact of change in lifestyle. Easily two of the best sci-fi anime has to offer, utmost care was put into both in developing a world that feels real and the characters themselves behave accordingly to the circumstances given.
First of all in both cases we have the police as the main characters. Secondly we could say the time period is not too distant cyberpunk style future.
Psycho - pass seems to have some interesting philosophical views on this kind of future... It's the kind of anime which actually needs you to think when watching it.
Ghost in the shell has multiple story arcs, while Psycho Pass has a single arc which connects it all together.
Both of these story lines fall deep into the future with technology that can better mankind but also still have the same amount of crime. Characters are a bit different than ghost in a shell however you will learn about the characters in this anime at different episodes just like ghost in a shell.
Both series shares similar themes involving dealing with criminals in a world with powerful technology. In fact, these traces of technology can be traced with cyperpunk themes. Thus, both series has a similar feeling.
Both series' characters works with a superior organization to deal with the criminals using their skills.
Production I.G. is also involved with both series hence similar animation artwork and visuals.
Both series has action, drama, police, and great dialogue usage in many scenes.
Both amines have a similar feel to their story telling as well as both being worlds in a not too distant future. Both can also be classified as science fiction and each follow a form of law enforcement.
Both animes feature an advanced technological society that despite the cutting edge technology suffers from both existential and criminal issues. Both animes feature cybercrime and a lot of action. Both animes focus on police and investigations.

Only Himitsu springs to mind when thinking of other sci-fi 'investigation team' series involving the usage of futuristic scanning technology that reveals the truths people try to hide from others.
In Psycho-Pass technology exists that can display a number for each person, revealing if people are "latent criminals" or not. In essence, it's technology that allows for the punishment of thought crime.
In Himitsu the last memories of those murdered can be viewed in order to catch the criminals responsible. It's very similar to how in Minority Report the pieces of visions would be put together in an attempt to solve crimes... only after the crime is committed, rather than before.
Both series begin with a rookie cop just starting at their new jobs and having to balance the practical realities against the moral weight of their actions. Then, until the last stretches of the two (/end of series arcing), it's episodic psychopath hunting.
-Has a rookie cop who is trying to understand the system
-Rookie cop works with a team of detectives who know how the system works
-Police drama
-Sci-fi elements
-Psychological themes
Both have a new detective in a police department the uses new, cutting edge technology (or at least new enough that the characters need to explain it for us). Almost every episode revolves around solving a case with that technology.
Both share an aspect of sci-fi crime investigation. In Psycho-Pass the focus is on prevention through the mind "cloudiness" evaluating scanners where as Himitsu has a scanner that can retrieve the last moments of the victim's life. Both introduce ethical questions to the viewer along with dark-ish theme. Plots and characters also seem to share certain aspects.
Police/detective stories where the investigators scientifically analyze people's brains. The main character is the new member of the team. Quite violent and gory. Have characters who have been gone psycho because of the crimes they have to deal with. Have a strong appeal to female viewers.

Both take place in future.
The same idea, that people with 'anomalies' work for organization against people having the same kind of 'anomalies'.
The same mood.
Both main characters are something like garbage.
Similar vibe, color scheme, and detective/hitman tones in both
If you enjoyed the sci-fi and crime aspects of Darker than Black, Psycho-Pass is a great show following that similar mix of topics.

Both of these series have a very similar vibe. Both series follow a group of detectives solving crimes generally involving murder. Character interactions and personalities are also very similar.
Plot of both series is "young girl joins an agency hunting 'abnormal' people". Robin is a witch hunting witches, and one of members of the agency can't leave the office building because he's a criminal; enforcers are latent criminals hunting latent criminals and cannot leave the building without supervising.
In both series, there's the theme of finding individuals who are considered a threat to society and the world they live in. The main protagonists uses their skills, knowledge, and tools to accomplish this task.

In essence, both are about flawed systems and their consequences. The *major* differences being in execution (cyber punk/advanced technology vs folklore/village life), style and flow. Heck, the main female characters are very similar as well.
Perfect society has finally been created. Or so it seems. Is everything really as perfect as it is made to seem?
Similarities:
Both deal with the protagonist finding out the hidden nature of their 'perfect world'. This causes them to go through many near death experiences. On the way some friends die, as result of the sybil system or the ethics committee covering up evidence. In the end both have to learn to deal with the fact that is how society is currently but hope for change in the future.
Differences:
Setting:
Psycho pass is set in a somewhat more futuristic world than today.
Shin sekai yori, although 1000 or so into the future, do not rely on technology and have no 'concrete buildings'.
Powers:
In Psycho pass, the Denominators give them power.
In Shin sekai yori, human have psycho kinesis (something along those lines)
-Both have a dark atmosphere
-Both are very pyschological animes, where characters goes through alot of unnatural circumstances.
-Both have questionable society that invokes alot of deep thought
-Both are a must watch!

Both Monster and Psycho-Pass are psychological mystery thrillers were the main male protagonist is after a ghost murder. No one believes in the existence of mastermind serial killer until late.
The lead killers both kill as a third party using others to do their dirty work for excitement excitement. Furthermore they see nothing wrong in their ways are are in essence pure heart-ed but evil in soul. You can judge them by their presence.
Uncommon seinen anime in detective genre with dark mysterous atmosphere. Characters are interesting and psychologically realistic. Protagonist is forced to make difficult choices that are beyond good and evil. In both anime there is an antogonist who tries to fulfil his vile plans and fights either with the main character or with entire society itself.
The main malefactors seem alike, IMHO. They both have a global plan and ruin a lot of lives without any doubts. They both prefer to play with people's psychology. I hate both Johan and Makishima.
Both series are also serious, clever and for adults only.

Anime that have dark themes and deal with killing others in a very distant, cold, calculated way though both main characters have to deal with it emotionally it themselves. Both characters face dark and twisted opponents who show the darker side of human nature, especially when the normal social restraints are removed either from the lack of civilization or a broken criminal justice system. The animes are both violent and graphic.
* Bloody/lots of deaths
* future technic
* wrong System
* people using deduction
* unpredictable
displays a similiar world, with mentally sick people, twisted minds and bloodstained action.

The Ouryou Rikako arc with school girls being dismembered and their body parts being used for "art" immediatly made me think of Mouryou no Hako.
While the context is different, both of them have mystery, gore and profanity, Psycho-Pass being more action oriented, Mouryou no Hako more on the psychological side.
"Gore", that is presented as some kind of beauty is an recurring theme in Mouryo no Hako and also in at least one of the cases of Psycho Pass.
The presentation of a young female infatuated with another is also somewhat reminiscent of Mouryo no Hako.
The idea of trying to understand the culprits mindset or else the one trying will get dragged down the abyss towards craziness is also present in both, through in Mouryo no Hako not as strong a topic as in Psycho Pass.
Both have in common:
- A group of investigators/detectives investigating bizarre murders of schoolgirls who have been dismembered.
- The most beautiful/popular girl of the private girls school has a strong connection to the deaths and she is infatuated with another girl/girls.
- While PP is in a futuristic setting, MnH is in a past era. Both have wonderful artwork and visuals.

Both animes are setted in a futuristic world where devices conduct the inhabitants life style. The main characters are also similar, Shion and Akane being raised in a privileged environment, both being gifted students, having a bright future ahead of them. However, their destiny change when they meet someoone who isn't part of the system, an outcast. Both animes focus on social issues in a world controlled by technology. If you enjoyed Psycho-Pass, you might as well enjoy No. 6.
Same feel of a near-future setting that is close to controlled society.
Both in societies that seem perfect but underneath have a darker side to them. Both will encourage the viewer to question what ends can be justified, although No.6 probably not as much as psycho-pass.

Both of these are darker scifi/fantasy series with interesting character relationships and a slight hint of mystery.
The Dog solving mysterious murders to his Queen!
Sebastiaan with bitchy boots
Well loved this one with the humour it brings with it specially Undertaker :D

- Both has an unjust justice system that almost does not give a damn about victims and casualties..
- Both does not shy from showing you death mercilessly
- Both anime shows some MC that defy the current laws and standard of society.
Both have the same premise of bringing down a corrupt government and questions whether it's better to bring it down from outside or work from within to change it. Both have psychological and ideological themes that will have you thinking about for a long time after you've finished watching and make a point to confuse you about whether the ends or the means are correct (Code Geass is more emphatic on this) and that not everything is black and white (well duh): you'll have to reflect and decide on your own about what you think is right.
As for differences, Psycho-Pass lacks the super-powered piloted robots in Code Geass but makes up for it using "Dominators" (huge badass guns, basically). Psycho-Pass surpasses CG in terms of artwork and animation by far, however. PP also doesn't mess up its characters arcs like Code Geass (although CG's first season is better than the second in terms of this).

They both have this mysterious feel to it. They also both have music sung by EGOIST which is beautiful. The type of story is different, but they both are amazing.
- Both have a male and female protagonist .
- Great character growth .
- Both male protagonists are driven by their own ideas .
- Both female protagonists are motivated to help the male protagonist .
- At least one character from both animes grow a back bone .
- Both male protagonists possess something special ( in Guilty Crown's case ; he can take people's voids && in Psycho - Pass the guy is extremely , unhumanely clever and intelligent. )
- Both endings leave you sort of upset but wraps up the anime nicely.

Both are detective type animes that involve murders but have a weird twist to them.
The dark and serious atmosphere of murder mysteries topped with science fiction and similar protagonists.
|
|
|
Both are about police forces in a futuristic setting, utilizing the things they are protecting against to perform that protection. In Heat guy J's case, it's an android, and in Psycho-Pass's case, it's people with a high criminality rating. Both police forces also hope to prevent crime before it happens, but never really manage it.
Both series features a futuristic setting with advanced technology beyond our modern times. In such a time, there is crime loose and it's up to a group of special individuals to eliminate such threats.
Both series involves police forces where the main characters are part of.
Both series has drama, action, and some psychological vibes.

Two men who undertand each other more than anyone else but have completely opposite goals.
Made by the same writer. Both have amazing art and some of the characters and plot are similar even though their settings are different (Psycho-Pass: sci-fi, Fate/Zero: supernatural).
|
|
|
Characters, the atmosphere, the dark city, restrained style of character's outfit, elements of sience fiction and people stucked in sin - all of it is very simular.
Tbh, I find both of these two series a bit similar.
Speed Grapher and Psycho-Pass both features a dark world where there are criminals and those with supernatural abilities. Both series has a dark atmosphere that can be reflected on the settings of their respective series.
Both the main characters in the series seems to be stoic while the main female protagonist has a more general personality.
Both series contains super power/supernatural themes that also involves elements of detective fiction. In a dark world, there is crime and violence. Both these series has that.
|
|
|
Similar concept/scenario of criminals working for government
Both are futuristic and revolve around the police using criminals to stop crimes.
|
|
|
In both shows main characters solve problems and look for clues to solve mystery cases. Hyouka is funny and kinda romantic, Psycho-pass is more about solving murder cases. Both got one quiet cool character (Oreki in one, Shinya in the other) who is great in getting all the clues together and always solve the case.
|
|
|
- Both ruthless
- Both will eat your heart out
- Both series is not shy to show you blood and bodies blowing up or hitting the floor
- Both series will have a lot of casualties more than the fingers for both of your hands.

As Edward, they have obey orders from a governament in order to protect the people but try to discover the truth.
|
|
|
The worlds of Psycho-Pass and Steins;Gate are both science fiction worlds which each seems relatively realistic. They are also more serious with little or no comedy and have very good character development
|
|
|
Police after criminals in both have main character girl and said character gay , helping him his life and partner.
|
|
|
Psycho-Pass and Jormungand are a great choice for those of you who like to see a bit of bloog and gore, mixed with the thrill of military involvement. There's plenty of gun action and the storyline is always kept up to pace.
Settings are well-designed, in my opinion. It's uniquely set up and fits very well with the plot.
The art is beautifully done, both with great OPs. It's got a fantastic mix of regular and grosteque styles.
|
|
|
Both take place in a futuristic world where humanity depends on technology. Fractale is more childish/romance while PP is more action/mystery.
|
|
|
Similarities:
-Theme of 'man-hunt' seeking revenge
- a manipulative 'antagonist'
- confusion on who really is the antagonist in which there is a clash between moral and logic
- Cool detective work
- characters varied from avoiding, accepting and fixing the past
- And, unfortunately, the ending is what really connects these two animes together...

Amano Akira sensei, creator of the immensely popular Katekyo Hitman Reborn! series, attempts a more mature twist to her style in the Psycho-Pass series. (Think TYL-counterparts in sketchy neighborhoods, under dimly lit warehouses and impossibly tall and abstract skyscrapers)
Physically, they resemble the Reborn! characters, which isn't particularly a bad thing. Kogami Shinya looks like the lovechild between Hibari Kyoya and Yamamoto Takeshi, Tsunemori Akane is a less annoying version of Miura Haru, and Makishima Shogo could easily be Rokudo Mukuro possessing Byakuran in a parallel universe. Personality-wise, they are also pretty archetypical so far. The protagonist is an outcast who seeks revenge (as well as redemption), the good-natured heroine is sadly still quite useless, and the villain (anti-hero?) is the untouchable genius who prefers not to get his own hands dirty. Again, the potential is there to make these characters more interesting in the future episodes. Psycho-Pass definitely has better female characters than Reborn, but not by a big margin. Personally, I enjoy the resemblance.

|
|
Similar sci-fi feel with a lot of gore and nice looking guns.
|
|
|
Both are set in a futuristic city, which is controlled and secured by a "system".
Mysterious murders occur in both and some dark secrets are yet to be revealed...
|
|
|
Very similar in style, mood and setting. I find that Psycho pass has more in common with this than ghost in the shell. Psycho-pass focuses more on story while mardock focuses more on style.
|
|
|
Grossly dark but entertaining story's with murderers that are beyond understanding; In Kara no Kyoukai 3 Fujino Asagami and in Psycho Pass Rikako Ouryou among other people.
Both got action and mystery.
|
|
|
Both are great science fiction anime taking place in a futuristic setting, and involve solving crimes, murders and mysteries. UN-GO has a supernatural element and is more focused in finding "the truth" rather than caring about justice, while Psycho-Pass is pure cyberpunk, and more about the moralistic repercussions of judging people based on criminal potential rather than criminal action.
|
|
|
Think dark but with no jokes and an appeal to your sense of justice and detective action. Black Lagoon on the other hand is dark but with comedy and military action.
|
|
|
Both are dark gritty series which explore the world of crime and have a focus on guns.
|
|
|
Both series explore the criminal mind and how it operates.
|
|
|
Do you like sci-fi? Yes.
Include that with puzzling mystery? Yes.
And a progressive-defined plot? Yes.
Top it up with some big baddies? Yes. (Psycho-Pass)
Then look no further as these two shows (Good ones too.) are just the ones you have been searching for.
|
|
|
Dark cyberpunk future feel where a band of people hunt down threats to the population.
|
|
|
A more experienced individual (with whom the central protagonist shares the exactly same personality uptake) is supervising a pupil and is mainly supporting from behind the shadows to straight out a government's dictatorial/aristocratic nature. Also by the same producer.
|
|
|
Both are from Production I.G and have the similar futuristic police thriller theme to it. In Psycho-Pass the police's special team that are comprised of Enforcers who are latent criminals who are specialized to hunt down other latent criminals. In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig this special unit works for the organization called Public Security Section 9; a division that exist under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The unit is a group who specializes in fighting technology-related crimes like cyberterrorism.
Both have a cyberpunk setting.
|
|
|
Both series are dark and contains a serious mood involving a world of cruelty.
There are science fiction themes present in both series. With that also includes various plot twists, surprises, and some gruesome scenes. There is violence involved in both series so be a bit aware of that if you decide to give these two titles a shot.
Both series has drama, action, and some psychological factors. There are also thriller like endings that are build from some of the plot settings.
|
|
|
Both are noitaminA original series produced by Production I.G. that explore changing world ideals, analyze the meaning of the human conscience, and explore how people with the potential to do good and/or harm to society act out when given the power to do so. Both are action-packed series that question the lines between 'good' and 'evil' and what it means to abuse a power given to you. Psycho-pass is a more science-fictional series with a utopian setting, whereas Eden of the East is set in modern day Japan, but both share similar themes and focus heavily on the decisions made by their characters, and how those decisions impact society.
|
|
|
I'm surprised this hasn't been recommended yet. Both are alluring and dark, taking the average person into a world of chaos, crime and justice. Both appeal to a mature audience and dabble with a bit of the supernatural. Psycho Pass is set in a far futuristic version of Tokyo while Durarara is present day. Amazing seiyuu Kana Hanazawa and Miyuki Sawashiro play female leads in both. Psycho Pass' main focus is crime and police while Durarara is gang violence and the not so ordinary lives of three teenagers.

The world mentioned in both anime are different from our usual world.
The main character in both anime are surrounded by strange comrades and enemies.
Awesome weapons are always available.
