Psycho-Pass

October 12, 2012
Finished Airing TV
サイコパス
Psychopath
SummaryJustice, and the enforcement of it, has changed. In the 22nd century, Japan enforces the Sibyl System, an objective means of determining the threat level of each citizen by examining their mental state for signs of criminal intent, known as their Psycho-Pass. Inspectors uphold the law by subjugating, often with lethal force, anyone harboring the slightest ill-will; alongside them are Enforcers, citizens that have become latent criminals, granted relative freedom in exchange for carrying out the Inspectors' dirty work.

Into this world steps Akane Tsunemori, a young woman with an honest desire to uphold justice. However, as she works alongside veteran Enforcer Shinya Kougami, she soon learns that the Sibyl System’s judgments are not as perfect as her fellow Inspectors assume. With everything she has known turned on its head, Akane wrestles with the question of what justice truly is, and whether it can be upheld through the use of a system that may already be corrupt.

Inspector Akane Tsunemori
監視官 常守朱
SummaryIn futuristic Japan, the human soul is analyzed and digitized. A flawless structure called the Sibyl System assesses this data and creates a perfect life for each citizen while also evaluating their potential for crime—otherwise known as one's "Psycho-Pass." Even so, incidents still occur, requiring the existence of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau (MWPSB).

Short on personnel, MWPSB employs latent criminals as Enforcers—morally corrupt individuals whose Psycho-Pass surpasses the allowed threshold—in service of the capable Inspectors. They make use of Dominators, special guns designed to read one’s Psycho-Pass, and work together to apprehend wrongdoers.

Being one of the few people the System considers adequate for MWPSB, Akane Tsunemori is assigned as Criminal Investigation Division’s new Inspector of Division 01. Secured by her strong sense of justice, Tsunemori’s Psycho-Pass is unwavering in the face of incurable fugitives on both the just and rotten sides of the system. But early into her career, Tsunemori encounters a person thought impossible: a criminal with the Psycho-Pass of a righteous man.

As a way to maintain peace, the Sibyl System is established: it serves as a method to measure emotion, desire, or a thought that deviates from the norm—also dubbed as one's "Psycho-Pass." However, crime has yet to be eradicated; the Public Safety Bureau's Inspectors utilize Denominators, lethal weapons that evaluate an individual's Psycho-Pass, to catch and deal with the immoral outlaws.

Inspector Shinya Kougami, along with his unit, Division 03, has been tasked with finding the criminal behind “The Branding Case.” But as the detectives delve deeper into the unusual incident, it soon turns unexpectedly sinister.

SummaryA year and a half after the events of the original sci-fi psychological thriller, Akane Tsunemori continues her work as an inspector—enforcing the Sibyl System's judgments. Joining her are new enforcers and junior inspector Mika Shimotsuki, a young woman blindly and inflexibly loyal to Sibyl. As Akane ponders both the nature of her job and the legitimacy of Sibyl's verdicts, a disturbing new menace emerges.

A mysterious figure has discovered a way to control the Crime Coefficient—a number compiled from mental scans that allows Sibyl to gauge psychological health and identify potential criminals. Through these means, he is able to murder an enforcer, leaving behind a cryptic clue: “WC?” scrawled in blood on a wall.

Akane and the rest of Division 01 soon find themselves playing a deadly game against their new foe, coming face-to-face with a conspiracy threatening not only the authority of the Sibyl System, but the very foundation of Akane’s own convictions.

SummaryWith the conclusion of the Makishima case, Shinya Kougami is a wanted fugitive, Nobuchika Ginoza has become a potential criminal, and two Enforcers are gone. The Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau is desperately in need of new personnel, leading the organization to bring in 17-year-old novice Inspector Mika Shimotsuki to join Inspector Akane Tsunemori's Division 01.

While Tsunemori now questions and even challenges the Sibyl System, Shimotsuki unconditionally believes in its judgment. However, her first case urges her to see the opposite: a new criminal emerges, an individual who has the power to lower one’s Psycho-Pass enough for the System to overlook them as convicts and even humans.

When a felon with hard evidence against him walks free with a clear Psycho-Pass, immediate action becomes imperative. Now Inspectors and Enforcers must work together to decipher an unsettling message left behind and trace the guilty criminal who, in the eyes of the System, does not exist.

While traveling through the Tibet-Himalayan Alliance Kingdom, Kougami encounters Guillermo Garcia—commander of a paramilitary group attempting to unite the local factions and bring peace to the war-torn nation. Wary of joining another mercenary group, Kougami declines to join his cause, but agrees to be driven to the nearby Tibetan capital by one of Garcia's men.

However, Kougami’s plan to remain uninvolved is short-lived when a bus of refugees are ambushed by armed guerrillas. Among them is a half-Japanese, half-Tibetan girl named Tenzing Wangchuck. Impressed with Kougami’s fighting prowess as he single-handedly takes the attackers out, Wangchuck requests him to teach her how to fight so she can take revenge against the warlord who murdered her family.

Knowing first-hand that there is no turning back to the person you were once you take a human life, Kougami is initially reluctant to accept her request. But faced with the girl’s desire for vengeance that mirrors the haunting abyss inside his own heart, will he train her?
