The art of psycho pass is amazing. Dark without being noir and sunny without beingl sunshine and butterflies. Psycho pass manages to make a dystopian/utopian world that feels like a real world. Its animation is also great and the combat sequences don't look over exaggerated at all. If you don't like blood, gore, and violence though you should probably stay clear of this show.
The soundtrack on this show is awesome. Both opening and ending songs were top tier and suited the show perfectly. I first watched this show as a sub and then rewatched it as dub recently and I felt like the dub voice acting was spot on. The men in this show sound like men and the women don't sound like they sucked in any helium recently. Psycho Pass sounds great.
The characters of this show are interesting. Some of the fates and decisions that befall them are predictable while others managed to surprise me. I like all of them and none of them are irritating at all. They all have understandable motivations and even the crazy criminals of this show make sense. I do wish that the side characters had received more attention though.
Kougami Shinya - The primary hero of the show. Kougami is a guy that is willing to do anything and break any rules in order to deal with his obsession. His goal is something that the viewer can make a decision for themselves about the necessity of it without the writers implying it is right or wrong. Its difficult to write anything here without spoilers. I don't particularly like his hair. Too shounen.
Makishima Shougo - The villain of this story. He is cool because you can see and understand his point of view while at the same time thinking that he is a bastard.
Tsunemori Amane - The rookie protagonist of this show. She is naive at first but definitely comes into her own and develops well as a character. She does sort of get a mental powerup to make her one of the smartest characters in the show but it is nowhere near shounen level in my opinion. My only complaint is a specific episode where I just want to bitch slap her. If you watch it you will understand.
Ginoza Nobuchika - He seems to be a dick at first but he just suffers from a case of 'everybodyleavesmeitis'. His character growth is predictable but interesting nonetheless.
I really enjoyed this show. Psycho Pass is like Ghost in the Shell if it had been more of a drama with protagonists that seemed more directly involved in the plot. If you like GitS there is a good chance you will like Psycho Pass. I would recommend for anyone that likes shows about society and government.
