Psycho-Pass is such an underrated anime in the sea of series. I highly picky on what anime's I watch, and when a friend recommended this one to me, I Gave it a try. Best choice I've made in anime.
Story- Set in a Futuristic, Cyberpunk/dark setting, the story follows a group of inspectors and enforcers who are out to ultimately stop the antagonist, Makishima Shogo. The plot and ideas the writers came up with in this show were incredible. It's gritty, dark, gory and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Your constantly wondering what will happen next, what danger the characters are
...
going to be put in, and over all it's highly psychological. This show really gets you thinking.
Characters- One word can some up the amazingness of these characters; development. There is soooo soooo much character development in this series. Akane is taken on a roller coaster ride of crazy and how she and the others react to it is perfect. They all have varying personalities that stand out, and there's never bland dialogue between characters. Kogami and Akane are my favorite, and they way they work together just fits naturally. You have the jokester, the flirt, the fatherly figure, the uptight figure, etc. It's easy to get attached to characters in this anime. Also, the villains in this show are so different from your usual 'I want to take over the world and be evil King fear me blah blah.' Shogo is a brilliant antagonist, and the atrocities and crimes he commits, are based on what he thinks is /right/ for the society and himself. The supporting antagonists in his merry band of insanity are disturbing in a way that makes you want to watch more.
Art- It's dark, it's trippy, and it fits. There isn't a lot of bright colors obviously, unless you count the blood that is often splattered everywhere here and there. It's suppose to Be dark and gloomy. The way the characters are drawn and designed are beautifully done. They all stand out on their own. The settings are also done with amazing detail.
Music- HOLY FJDJSJWOWPPA. THE MUSIC IS FREAKING AMAZING. IM HOOKED ON IT. The openings >>>>> And the endings are done by a band called EGOIST. Flawless music, flawless band, I would highly recommend checking them out. All alone with you, Fallen, and Namae no nai Kaibutsu by EGOIST are the ending songs to psycho pass. Check. Them. Out. Especially if you're a fan of Japanese music.
Overall Enjoyment: 10/10. It's quickly become one of my all time favorite animes, I'm hooked still and I finished both seasons. I'm waiting for the movie in January! I recommend this show to anyone that's a fan of futuristic and dark themes animes. It takes on a psychological coaster ride. You sit on the edge of your seat wondering who will die next, if your favorite character will survive, and what twisted idea the writers of this show will throw at you next.
