This is a top-notch thriller anime. But it is not for everyone.
I suspect those who can appreciate this gem are mature male audience, since I found some women and teenagers getting freaked out (or bored) watching it.
I think the Psycho-Pass should also be categorized as a thriller, seinen anime.
I don't want to give synopsis or partial assessment (story. character etc) about this anime. I'll just tell you my personal impressions why I think this is an outstanding anime:
- the intense feeling I felt when watching Psycho-Pass reminds me a lot when I watched Holywood movie like Prison Break or Se7en or Monster (anime),
...
if not greater (If you can enjoy those movies, then quickly grab this anime)
- The bleak atmosphere and the cruelty were presented "beautifully" (successfully convey the impression of horror while leaving out the gruesome details)
- The antagonist is not a maniac who kills people for fun or to rule the world. He isn't either the Hannibal type or the Moriarty type. He's a class of his own.
- The protagonist has a formidable faith about right and wrong.
- The story was compact. As you watch later episodes, you'll realize that there's a main plot hidden. It will start slow, but the plot will climax and give you a sense of an end.
- The ending is not ridiculous. I think it's better than Monster (anime).
- Cant wait for season 2.
