PSYCHO-PASS
Psycho-Pass is an anime from the genre of science fiction and thriller. Psycho-Pass is set in a future where it is possible to instantaneously measure a person's mental state, personality, and the probability that a person will commit crimes, all through a "cymatic scan" of the brain. The resulting assessment is called a Psycho-Pass. When this probability, measured by the "Crime Coefficient" index, is too high in an individual, they are pursued and apprehended—with lethal force, if necessary. The plot focuses on a young adult named Akane Tsunemori who is a new police officer known as Inspector within Unit One of the Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. As an Inspector she hunts criminal alongside a special team of so called latent criminals (people whose Crime Coefficients are deemed too high, and without chance of recovery) called Enforcers. Both Enforcers and Inspectors use gun "Dominators", special weapons designed to fire only on those with a higher-than-acceptable Crime Coefficient. During some of Akane's first investigations, the group learns of a mastermind behind multiple crimes, Shogo Makishima.
The main attraction of the anime is its concept itself. The concept of the really drawn me into thinking about the pros and cons of the system of scanning a person's mental state. The other aspect of the anime that kept me watching it the the main antagonist, Shogo Makishima who had this really twisted ideas and yet can't be argued. The main antagonist was also portrayed as someone very charismatic which is not common to be seen in anime. Besides, the dark side of the anime and the madness involved in it are something that is very interesting.
Here's a trailer of the anime. Enjoy~
