Synopsis

Psycho-Pass is set in a futuristic era in Japan where the Sibyl System, a powerful network of psychometric scanners, actively measures the biometrics of its citizens' minds. The resulting assessment is called a Psycho-Pass. When the calculated likelihood of an individual committing a crime, measured by the Crime Coefficient index, exceeds an accepted threshold, he or she is pursued, apprehended, and either arrested or decomposed by the field officers of the Crime Investigation Department of the Public Safety Bureau.

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Chris Kawahito I've been doing a marathon for this series for the last couple of days and I had to take a pause for a second and write a review.The Animation, the writing, the voice acting (ok, for Japanese version) are all top notch. Production IG, the animation studio that made this, is at the top of their game, and I knew them from watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex (I highly recommend as well). The writing is superb if not genius, and before I knew it, I was attached to all the characters (on both sides). Although the main theme have been done to death (future worlds where AI's run things and judge us, and so on) the show definitely made it feel fresh and had me diving in episode after episode. I'm actually on episode 19.. I can't express how excited I am finishing this! Watch it!
John Jan Psychopass is most definitely a top quality anime. Futuristic, Guns, Violence, Psyche.Avoid if very faint of heart or young children as the anime definitely has some dark undertones. There is violence and gore in many scenes, think a slightly more twisted and gruesome death note.The plot and art is top notch, beautiful and scary all at the same time.This anime will make you think and question our society and could mess with your mind.This anime is highly recommended! Sit back and enjoy!
jacques_bronkhorst Imagine a world where we are watched and accept the judgment of a system that has been developed to dictate your life, your job and if it is determined that you might commit a crime based on your state of mind even be prosecuted for a possible future crime. This is the basis of this wonderful anime.With some of the most thought provoking questions put forward in brilliant animation with some horrific depictions of true human nature, and the narrative accompanying it will make you question whether you would accept total resignation of your perceived free will.This is a must watch!
Catwings "Ghost In The Shell," "Innocence," or "Blade Runner" fans, those who seek thought-provoking realities into a story, or people who like watching stories that make you think about technology and humanity. Then, you may also like to watch "Psycho-Pass."Technological advancement and lack of humanity is an open question all- time throughout the history. While we are seeking to enrich our lives by using gadgets and machines, we may lose something important as human beings. What if we are born in a safe society where criminals and even potential criminals are managed and isolated from the society in order not to harm other good citizens, and they are guaranteed to live in the society with given happiness. We may not even have questions about morality.In the story, a person's mental state is simultaneously measured, and the value is determined whether the person is potentially a criminal and is killed depending on the state level. The police officers use a gun, but the gun is only fired if the targeting person's mental state is measured as dangerous, seemingly it also helps them avoid shooting the wrong person. Akane Tsunemori is a novice officer who is in charge of solving crimes with other members.One of the things that astonishes me is the dialogues where characters talk, referring to quotes from famous authors such as Philip K. Dick, George Orwell, Gulliver Travels, Wiliam Gibson, Macbeth, Humlet, etc. The lines that characters speak casts philosophical questions as to what is justice and what is an ideal society.I really like the story in which it depicts a different aspect of the technological world from Ghost In the Shell or Blade Runner, yet somehow it reminds me of those epic anime and films.
