How come there is no thread about this awesome anime :(

Genres: action, science fiction
Themes: dystopia, future, police

Plot Summary: The series takes place in the near future, when it is possible to instantaneously measure and quantify a person's state of mind and personality. This information is recorded and processed, and the term "Psycho-Pass" in the anime's title refers to a standard used to measure an individual's being. The story centers around the "enforcement officer" Shinya KÅgami, who is tasked with managing crime in such a world.

Opening Song: "abnormalize" by Ling Tosite Sigure

It is 22 episodes long, still airing of course, pretty much about Police catching Criminals, but the way the Criminals kill are unique and gruesome, which is part of the reason why I like this anime.

I watched the first episode and didnt like the idea of how the society worked to think of continuing.

I like it. It's violent. I need to take a break from all the cutesy anime I've watched these days.

It's pretty intense, but it actually has a really good plot.

Original character design by the same person. Should also be noted that Gen Urobuchi is working with the series as well. (Creator of Fate/Zero, worked with Madoka TV series and movies and I'm sure everyone knows the VN Saya no Uta, he wrote the scenario.)

The system is a nice idea but it has it's own fault.
While it may be difficult in for many people, to some degree you can control your own mind and point of view. Someone especially skilled at that can easily fool the system too.

That makes sense. I was looking for an anime with a good plot, may give this a shot.

Once again, forgot this anime didn't have a thread before yet.

For a bit of trivia, the ending of this anime is by the same fictional band that was used for Guilty Crown, 'Egoist'.
