This is my first review on this site so bear with me.
Essentially Psycho-Pass is a show with a lot of potential but with slightly better than average results.
Characters: 5/10 The only reason I'm not putting a 4 here is because i love the antagonist and how unpredictable he is, he makes up for a lot of the bland character development. BUT. The character that really ruined this show's enjoyment for me is Inspector Akane Tsunemori, the main female lead. I hate her. And not the "i hate her because she is evil" kind of hate. I hate her in the same way I
...
hate the people that make me sandwiches at Subway. No life. Dead stares. No real development. She is so lifeless. Even her character is written like this. In the story her psycho-pass is always mild and stable no matter what because... random unknown reasons? She never deviates from that, and everything she does is done because she is just a drone with fake emotions doing whatever is perfectly balanced and logical. She is hatable because this is how she comes off even though they try to write her as a ditz turning into a badass(-ish?). Yet she always manages to come off as a ditz. Even towards the end she's running around in her little office skirt like she just got the job bending her knees inward like she's never held a gun before. I don't know if I've ever seen a character so incompetently written. there is so much to hate about her because there is so little to even say about her. And now they are going to put another bland lifeless smol gorl character in season 2? What happened to VARIETY. Yeah no thanks i think im not even gonna bother with S2. I'm done ranting
Also there are a lot of other character developments that were sorely missed and could've easily been exploited for better attachment to them and their lives, but i digress.
Story: 7/10 The story itself is actually really good and mostly well-thought out. It follows multiple antagonists at first then slowly centering on 1, so it keeps you pretty engaged. It also has a mildly complex but digestable lore and it does a good job and giving you more elements of that lore as time goes on. I think these are the things that kept me going. The premise of the world is genuinely interesting
Production/Art: 7/10 Somewhat generic? But also really solid, not annoying at all, and generally cool to look at. It's not groundbreaking by any stretch but definitely a treat. Typical sorta dark sci-fi look and colors, very neat.
Sound: 5/10 5 because I'm addicted to the song 'abnormal' lol (OP 1), the rest of the OST was meh.
