another plus in my book is the seemless not even forced representation of some lgbtq+ characters, which i love to see in any form of media. good job
psycho-pass has such a world that you love to imagine, since it's so complex, different and interesting from ours, but would hate to actually live in - at least that's what i think of it.
the art was the only thing that felt like it was lacking at times - like in transition scenes kogami sometimes looked hands down horrific, but leaving those aside it could be incredibly beautiful as well.
the sibyl system as a decision making force, that takes the burden of making decisions off of people's shoulders is something on it's own that could be thoroughly discussed. but i'm not gonna go into that deeper than what that means regarding my review.
one thing that was refreshing right off the bat was that akane - unlike many heroines in anime - wasn't annoying (almost) at all. she came off rather cool in my eyes.
my review may contain SPOILERS from this point on:
other characters however made an even bigger impression on me, such as kogami and/or makishima shougo
those two.. really there couldn't have been a more perfect pair of antagonist and hero character
neither of them are black or white - and makishima being in my opinion the
best (technically) anime villain i've seen so far, and having a motive so reasonable and understandable - being making people realize how much they are missing out on not taking control of their own lives, basically losing what gave meaning to their existance in some way (at least in makishima's eyes and mine, that's for sure)
in this world fabricated of lies and deceiving people, the one who truly understands him and behaves in such a way he looks up to is none other than kogami himself
the two of them are so alike, yet just happen to be on different sides - that's the core idea which makes it so appealing to me
haven't watched season two yet, and in a way i feel like i don't have to. this was an incredibly well rounded story on its own and makishima being dead, i suspect the show to lose the very thing that made me love it so much in the first place.
can only recommend this show to people. you're really missing out on something here if you haven't seen it
or it might just happen to really be my thing, it being psychological, theoretical and quite a bit philosophical.
