Lately, watching anime has been a total drag. I can't seem to find anything that interests me anymore. I spent some days watching Hamatora (and the new season just started, by the way), K, and such animes. Watching them was fun- like, the characters were great and the animation and the graphics are outstanding. But none of them really gripped me.
Then suddenly, here comes Psycho-Pass.
Psycho-Pass literally had me on the edge of my seat. Not only are the characters great and the visuals amazing, so is the plot. The whole concept of the anime is amazing, from the Sibyl System to the Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division's concept of the Investigators and Enforcers. You will be left in awe and frustration as they uncover the truth to twists and turns. Psycho-Pass gives you the usual question, "Who is the real enemy?"
Psycho-Pass is full of action and gore. We have evil geniuses and grotesque crimes. But there's also the Enforcers, who are just as equally criminal-minded. The portrayal of the relationships between the characters are very professional, so if you don't like too much romance like me, this is perfect. But there is a beautiful portrayal of a budding friendship and human understanding, which is all part of the most beautiful character development I have ever seen.
But the ending of the first season will have you jumping up and down in joy for the upcoming second season because of the lack of closure. Though, I have to say, even if there was no second season, it could have been quite an interesting end. It would've put every difference in the world in comparison to other animes of the same kind. But still, it would've been quite unsatisfying. We could only hope that they will finally put an end to the Sibyl System in the second season.
