Psycho Pass (Anime), Hello Zeitgeist!


Recommended Posts

Finished it's 3rd and final season.  It's definitely zeitgeist inspired.

 

It depicts Japan turning into a closed off nation where citizens must be granted approval to come into the country or to leave.

 

The society is monitored by these electronic devices called "Psycho Passes", which scans the brains of it's citizens, the devices then displays a digital number showing how likely they are to commit a crime. Crime is never accurately defined. All the citizens in this society must act in a way to keep their "Crime Efficiency" number down, as the number begins to rise citizens' will be informed from the devices that they need to calm down or seek therapy, when the number rises to a set point they will be taken into government therapy, and if the number continues to rise even beyond the point of no recovery then they are murdered.

 

The shows follows a young newly hired female investigator, Akane who seeks out a dangerous criminal who threatens society. Her partner Shinya is a male enforcer (ex criminal), who will assists her in apprehending this individual and coming to truth on how how their society works.

Where did you find season 2, i have only seen the 2 seasons.

He's probably talking about Season 1, then New Edit and then Season 2. New edit is basically a recap of season 1 in 40mins length eps.So if he watched Season 1 and New Edit, then it would make sense that if he's finishing season 3 he would be at the end of season 2 :)

Sounds a bit like the setting in Ikigami. There's a manga and a live action adaptation (haven't seen it, but they are usually bad).

If you like Psycho pass I think you'll find this one interesting as well, and I'm pretty sure I'll give this one a chance in the near future. Peace
