[Anime] Psycho Pass
I loved this. This is the dark incarnation of Minority Report looking at it from the side of the society in general and the people that they were hunting to get to the root of the problem which is: if society was largely sterilized, what will happen to its people's violent tendencies?
Also it shows you the side of the criminals that do get past the system. And those are damn scary, sociopaths in all honesty. I liked season one better, mostly because of the characters that were in it. Division 1 was more solid in season 1, and the main adversary Makashima, was more sociopathic and more devious than season 2's Kamui. (Besides his kill count is higher than Kamui's) although season 2 has slightly more disturbing crime scenes. Season 2 is also shorter, owing to the fact that there were no introductory episodes, and it was main arc immediately. BUUUT season 2 is more predictable than season 1, and the only thing I liked from season 2 better than season 1 is the Ginoya v.2 XD
As for the movie, I'm pretty impressed, they actually had half the cast speaking English half of the time with some... Thai? Indonesian? mixed in there for the SEAUn bits. Mostly the SEAUn is actually a lot of the meld of the SEA nations (except the Philippines because it's largely Catholic.) THe movie does tie up the loose end of... where the hell Kougami is right now and what is happening to the rest of the world while Japan is again isolationist. Honestly the movie was mostly meh... it doesn't deal with a lot of the grit and murders and the frank psychopaths that you dealt with the series, but again, I think mostly it was done to tie up some loose ends, and was largely a cut out of a Kouga episode.
