Now that that's out of the way, I feel very confident in saying that this anime is easily Gen's best. Madoka Magica was incredible, and so was Fate/Zero, but Gen's full abilities can be seen in his vibrant art style, and this series reflects that the best. Dark and gritty with a half-Akira, half-Ghost in the Shell kind of feel, Psycho-Pass is almost immediately indicative of something Gen would want to do. The subtle nuances and interesting direction choices from Naoyoshi Shiotani bring this out very well, making this one of the most thrilling series I've ever seen as well.
My favorite thing about this anime, though, is easily its story. A somewhat dystopian future is compounded with a system by Sybil Industries, who are responsible for developing the Psycho-Pass system, a system that gauges the likelihood of a person to commit a crime. In a Minority Report-esque twist, Psycho-Pass is far from perfect, and in many instances, the numbers are skewed by the situation itself, leaving many innocent civilians in danger of running an elevated Psycho-Pass level and accidentally being killed by police officers when they might just need a minute to sit down and sort through things.
Psycho-Pass is not a challenging anime to watch, but it can be challenging to understand. The character development is executed somewhat awkwardly, especially around the main characters, but this is more than compensated for by its thrilling narrative and, ironically enough, that lack of understanding itself. You start to get drawn in more by what you don't know than by what you do after a while. While this can backfire towards the end of most psychological series, I felt they did an excellent job capping this one off.
Overall, Psycho-Pass is worth at least a good look. I love this series to pieces, and I know there are at least a few other people out there who will as well.
