Discuss the Psycho-Pass anime series (and associate media franchise) here.
The series takes place in the near future, when it is possible to quantitatively measure a person's emotions, desires, and every inclination. In this way, it is also possible to measure a person's criminal tendency factor, which is used to judge criminals which is called "Psycho-Pass".

I’ve just finished the movie, nothing went wrong until that scene
Just look at it’s destructive power and efficiency
I’ve started with the series quite recently and everything I watched so far was:
s1 -> s2 -> psychopass: the movie -> sinners of the system 3 -> s3 (on ep2 now)
Why is Akane being held at some sort of a prison?? Do I need to watch sinners of the system 1/2 to find out how that happened or is it explained later in the series?
Obviously, it's not gonna compare to Season 1. However, it feels like less of a continuation, and the picking up of another storyline within the world.
Sure we all loved the existentialism and god-like paradoxes from Season 1, but as Season 2 and some of the movies showed, it kinda gets a bit played out. I like them expanding the world a bit, and showing a different perspective of how people still quarrel with each other for their differences, despite Sybil pushing everyone towards a common behavior.
Certain things are slightly bothersome, but nothing too bad. Arata basically having a cheatcode is kinda weird. I feel like a lot of characters got put on the back burner and it feels like too many plotlines are occuring at the same time, while still only showing the perspective of the Safety Bureau.
All that being said, this season has been going pretty well for me. Definitely gives me hope for the franchise, as this feels more enjoyable than the previous works.
I'm curious, because whenever I talk about Psycho-Pass with my friends, they only know season 1, or maybe season 2.
Video essays on yt are also always about season 1.
This anime has a weird situation of still being relevant throughout the years but at the same time. Not a single soul, besides the actual fans, know it has a lot of movies and 2 more seasons
I have to opportunity to buy one low price since Kami Arts are getting closed down for fraud and i saw its very hard to get so im torn, should i buy it ? The face is... Questionnable
Okay so, I've been an avid Psycho-Pass fan since 2013, which means I have been starved for content for years and mostly disapointed with the scraps I've been given ever since the first season lol.
More precisely, I'm really into the philosophical and ethical discussion that Psycho-Pass provides, its insight on politics, systems and human nature. I truly believe that the 1st season does a wonderful job a summing up a lot of tropes and themes of the sci-fi genre and putting them together quite nicely. Makishima was a great antagonist because he very clearly provided an (obviously biaised) analysis on the lore and its philosophical consequences. With him and Kogami gone, I had hopes that Akane (who is a character dear to my heart as well) would take over as this figure who allows to discuss the system, even moreso that she is destined to put an end to it.
But she was, as we all know, put in the fridge for the third season. The series then relied more on its noir/thriller influences (you won't make me believe that Arata Shindo isn't supposed to be Will Graham), which was... okay in and of itself - the season was nice to watch but frustrating considering it adds on an already heavy plotline which feels stagnants since season 1... Except the first one, the movies fall under the same category for me : they feel like fillers or side stories.
Considering all of this, would you advise me to watch Providence ? Do you think I'll feel frustrated and disappointed ?
EDIT : Thanks for all the advice, I'll check it out !
Why didn’t Makishima hide the body of the agriculture guy? Both Kogami and Akane say that if the body was hidden then it would slow the pursuit of Makishima down significantly. We know Kogami didn’t hide the body because he wanted backup. But is it explained why Makishima didn’t hide the body or dispose of it?
Please indicate if your answer is speculative or if it’s directly stated in the anime or source material.
Hi, I saw this on Amazon and I'm looking to collect the shinya kogami version, and that is in English, but the akane tsunemori isn't. I was wondering if there is an English version?
Decided to draw them again for pocky day after 2 years lol 😂
I believe it played in the 20th episode when >!Akane was shown the inner workings of the Sibyl System!<. Has anyone got any idea of what genre this track might be? I like the cosmo-cyberpunky vibe it gives off, as well as its bpm, energy, whatever else there is, especially from 1:15 Maybe you've got something similar to it? I'd love to check it out.
Still waiting...
Alright so I have recently finished watching the entirety of the show, and something has been bugging me about Joshu Kasei, the Public Safety Bureau's chief. By the end of the third season she "dies" falling off the Bureau's tower. So I obviously thought "Well she died in front of witnesses, how will they deal with it?" To which the series actually surprised me by choosing to invest Shizuoka Homura as the new chief.
However, in the following movie Providence, meant to take place two years before the third season, Akane actually kills Joshu Kasei in front of a crowd and live televisions.
So I'm wondering: How come the chief died in front of witnesses and they still replaced her with the same android and it did not raise questions? And: Why would Sibyl invest Homura at the end of the third season when they could have done the same thing they did at the end of Psycho-Pass Providence ?
I hope this subject has not already been discussed here!
Its been years since I watched show but me and a few friends were recently talking about it again and I was wondering: Are there actually any laws in Japan under the Sibyl System? As in are there (criminal/(civil)) laws that are enforced and citizens must follow or is literally everything just based on your Psychopass?
So, I saw this show on Netflix a while ago, the first two seasons. I then saw the third, saw the movies after I learnt they existed and caught up on the context I didn't have and the context that I missed by looking up information in the Internet. Now I'm in my latest rewatch for a reason: I want to make a rewrite project starting from the end of the first season.
I now know that I'm in the minority, but I really liked season 2, and I'd like to rewrite the story after the end of the first season with hindsight on what stuff I now know.
I don't know how much the Psycho Pass fandom likes fics and rewrite fiction, so please, if you were so kind, reader, leave a comment with some thoughts on how you would rewrite the story after the end of season 1. I have my plan already going, but I'd like to read suggestions from fans that are fans of this more time than me.
Thanks!
There is a scene in psycho pass 1 Where yayoi , akane and the womaniser enforcer are discussing the specimen case and akane says they shouldn't do that while yayoi is eating I really want to see that moment again
Pls help, Pretty Pls
I’ve watched and enjoyed: SAO, Darwin’s game, Akame ga Kill!, chainsaw man, Tower of god, and Tokyo Ghoul and Ofcourse psychopass
Robert McCollum (VA of Kogami) did an interview at NYCC. In the interview he says that he got to go back and work on some new Psycho-Pass content and yes he specifically mentions SEASON 3 in the interview!
Nothing official from Crunchyroll. But here’s the link to the 1 minute interview.
We might finally be getting it y’all🥹
Spooky Boogie is basically a furry Vtuber and thanks to the hologram and costume technology it is probably incredibly easy for people to create the holographic equivalents of fursuits. There are even costume parties hosted by major internet personalities so I don't think conventions would be out of the question either.
Also, furries in real life have figured out how to make animatronic ears that actually move in response to nerve or brain activity; imagine what they could make with the cybernetic technology we see in Psycho Pass.
(Perhaps there is still hope for people like me, assuming that I don't get tagged as a latent criminal)
One moment she will be crying and next minute she will start complaining. She is so selfish and punchable that I am starting to ignore MC's stupidity.
Since people sees Mika as the one most likely to have a heel-turn flag, especially compared to Akane whose despite her actions is still considered the main protagonist, I think Mika would want Akane dead or at least had her hue painted black. Mika basically hated Akane for being Sybil's golden child, a patron saint even.
Sybil also considers Akane to be a threat to the System. Perhaps it demoted Akane to Statuary Enforcer because it wanted to see Akane's hue painted black, so that it can judge Akane properly.
So Sybil comes to Mika with an offer: paint Akane's hue black, and it will wipe Mika's hue clean. I mean, in S2 Akane was this close to have her hue painted black, and Mika actually had a minor role in it.
But I can imagine their plans backfires, at worst it fails from the start.
What do you think? Does Akane has any chance of having her Psycho-Pass goes up to the "enforceable" levels? Is there any chance that Sybil would simply turn against Mika?
I wanna just make sure I’m watching in the correct order.
