Story: The story of this anime presents a very interesting concept in that it gives us a society in which machines are able to analyze your psychology and determine pretty much everything about you--from your likelihood of becoming a criminal to what job you are most suited for. Pretty much nothing is decided for you anymore, which is, as I said, an interesting concept with a lot of consequences that Psycho-Pass manages to explore. There is also the main plot consisting of people committing crimes and trying to hunt down the perpetrators. Whichever point you find to be most interesting, Psycho-Pass is an anime that will frequently have you on the edge of your seat with suspense as you try and figure out what is going to happen next.
Art: I enjoyed the art style. It was nice and modern with darker colors to suit the theme of the show. There were some parts where I felt the art was somewhat lacking, but for the most part, I found it to be very fitting and nice to look at.
Sound: Honestly, I really liked both opening themes and really didn't like either ending theme, so the music there is just so-so overall. In terms of the soundtrack during actual episodes, nothing really stuck out to me all too much in either a negative or a positive way, so I have to say that the music was just good overall. Nothing particularly amazing, but nothing really bad or annoying, either .
Characters: I think that all of the characters were very interesting. A problem that I have, though, is that this anime kind of fails at expanding into the background of many of the main characters. I would have liked to learn more about each of the main characters in more detail than what was given. That being said, I do think that many of the characters were very interesting, especially the main villain. He struck me as very unique and he really makes the viewer think about the situations within Psycho-Pass, and who is really 'right' and who is really 'wrong.' I enjoyed that aspect.
Enjoyment: I enjoyed this anime quite a lot. I wouldn't necessarily say that it was life changing in any way, or anything of that nature, but it was interesting to watch, and I had a fun time watching it.
Overall, I rated Psycho-Pass with an 8 instead of a 9 because, while I liked many aspects of this anime, the ending bothered me quite a lot and I had to rate it down. That's all I'll say on the matter here for the sake of avoiding spoilers, but overall, I'll say that regardless of the ending, its' still an anime worth watching and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
