Psycho-pass

Figures know if you are a good civilian or a born thug.

Some people love fortune telling. This is, maybe, because they want to know the future to relieve themselves. Somehow, they believe that their future is relatively good; otherwise, they never want to know the outcome in advance, especially, which is unavoidable. In other words, they expect the fortuneteller to say something good. They don't want to hear bad things. However, figures are always honest. They are never wrong; it is always us who get wrong. If your future is digitalized, do you want to see it? The world of "Psycho-Pass" is such a thing.

- What's Psycho-pass?

This is one of Japanese anime. This depicts the world of a dystopian future of Japan, where all the people are calculated according to a system, which is named "Sybil". The Sybil System shows all the personality of a person and how to have a great life. It tells you even who and how to get married to and it is never wrong. As long as you follow the system, your life is always in good hands.

In the society, Sybil System finds a would-be criminal and kind of police forces catch him/her in advance. This means that you will be caught without perpetrating an actual crime if the system says that you are going to. This likelihood of your becoming a criminal is digitalized and called "Psycho-pass". If your Psycho-Pass is high, you are almost a criminal. Once you have high Psycho-pass, will you be caught and never be free? Yes, partially. If you want to get out of the institution to "purify" you, you have one means. Be an executor.

- The potential criminal and executor

Potential criminals are sometimes allowed to be an executor by Sybil System. This is the person who catches or kills other potential criminals (whose Psycho-Pass is high enough). If a normal officer tries to catch or kill such a dangerous person, his/her Psycho-Pass will also get high because he/she get close to what they call "crime". Therefore, officers have executors catch or kill the suspects (good term, huh?) The officers are called "Inspector", and the job of the main character, Akane Tsunemori.

- The story

The story begins when Akane is assigned to an inspector. As soon as she is, Sybil System finds a would-be criminal and he escaped from the drones to lead him to the purifying institution. Her first mission is to catch him, but she understands what are "Inspector" and "Executor" then, and gets confused. She does not know the distress of her will take her to the secret of the whole society -- yet at this point.

Are you excited? No! Don't get excited! That can raise your Psycho-Pass to death...
