Story: 8
Without giving too much away (<----- by that statement you should be able to assume I'll be giving some away) the story takes place in a futuristic society governed by the Sibyl System. The Sibyl System is the name given to a law enforcement enterprise run in cooperation with the government to manage crime in 21st century Japan. It is the sole operator and manager of proprietary hardware and software used to analyze the criminal tendencies of the entire country's populace. The Sibyl System establishes the Public Safety Bureau and rules over its personnel, along with all Psycho-Pass technology and weaponry with an iron fist.
The plot is centered around Division 1 of the futuristic police department, mainly Akane - an inspector. In this police force, there are inspectors and enforcers. Inspectors are basically detectives and are intrusted to watch the enforcers, criminals who use their criminal sense to help the police.
On the first day of her job, Akane is given a Dominator, a gun like object. The gun is able to determine the identity of its holder, and requires authentication and wireless connection to the Sibyl System in order to operate. Each individual gun can only be heard by the user currently registered to it. When pointed at any human will detect their mental state or rather, psycho-pass. If under 100, the dominator will not activate as they are not a threat to society. Between 100 and 200 the dominator will paralyze them, 200 and 300 would be lethal eliminator, and then 300+ would be destory decomposer.
These dominators and sibyl's judgment is what governs this society. However, the real story begins when division one discovers there are some people sibyl can't judge. Some people who, no matter what they do, will never have a crime coefficient over 100. These people include Akane and the seires' antagonist.
This story was executed very well and is quite original. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The art is done very well but nothing outstanding (in my eyes) so I give it a seven

The soundtrack fits the series, however, its nothing to brag about.
