This anime is the modern (and anime) equivalent of great dystopia stories of aldoux huxley (brave new world ) and George Orwell.... this ofcourse blew me away!!
this highly intelligent anime is set in future tokyo (or/and Japan) that has been closed off for the rest of the world because of a people regulation system caled Sibyl system ", as they call it in the beginning of the anime , A computter regulated system , that orders society , the human choice factor is taken out off this future...there is a pass that checks your mentalstate (Psycho-pass) and if it exceeds a hazarded level you will be picked up by a team of inspectors and inforcers
this team of investigators is what you will follow during the serie, It will start of with some cases that are not connected to get a feel for very well designed characters and after a couple of episodes the man story picks and like a tsunami will take you away.... !
the tention between Shinya (a former inspector demoded to enforcer) and Shougo ( The main antagonist, a goddamn evil intelligent man ) is really well done ,Shougo's psycho pass doesn't work like those of normal people and he takes advantage of this fact by shaking the systems foundation to prove its faults...
in his way stands Shinya ,A protector by heart , breaking the law he upholds if he has to !
these characters are made both Intelligent and bad ass
in a well drawn future world !
and the makers leave cool little hint to books and people of intellect in the real world !
I wanted to elaborate on the story abit more but then I remembered how I was blown away by certain acceleration throughout the story , So just check It out it will blow you away !
"You can play any character and yet in the end, you yourself are nobody. Your core personality is null. It’s empty. That’s how you could wear any mask all over your smooth, featureless face and have it fit perfectly. Shougo Makishima"
"I’m sorry. I couldn’t keep my promise. I wanted to go into a line of work where I could protect people.That’s why I became a detective. But Makishima changed everything. That man will continue to kill people. And yet, the law can’t judge him. As long as I’m a detective, I can’t touch him. This case made me aware… that the law can’t protect people. Shinya Kougami (Psycho-Pass)
