What happens when your entire life — your safety, your career, your freedom — is determined by a single number that measures your “latent criminality”? Psycho-Pass is a razor-sharp cyberpunk thriller that dives into surveillance, morality, and the cost of a “perfect” society. Following rookie inspector Akane Tsunemori and her enforcer Shinya Kogami, the story blends psychological tension, high-stakes action, and philosophical depth into a gripping, stylish noir.
With its haunting worldbuilding, memorable villains, and questions that linger long after the credits roll, Psycho-Pass stands as one of anime’s smartest and most compelling dystopias.
This episode sees Brendan White joined by David Schaak to unpack Naoyoshi Shiotani and Katsuyuki Motohiro's supernatural thriller, PSYCHO-PASS, which was produced by Production I.G.
