With this system, law enforcement agencies known as the Public Safety Bureau maintain order and peace, ensuring that those with “cloudy hues” in their Psycho-Pass (a reflection of their mental state) are taken care of before they can commit any crimes.
The cast of the English dub includes: Kate Oxley as Akane Tsunemori, Robert McCollum as Shinya Kogami, Jessie James as Nobuchika Ginoza, Cherami Leigh as Mika Shimotsuki, Mike McFarland as Teppei Sugo, Z. Charles Bolton as Sho Hinakawa and Stephanie Young as Dominator.

What will Akane and Shinya Kogami do? Will this dynamic duo find the missing link? Or is this the beginning of their destruction? “The Pyscho-Pass anime series is like Minority Report on steroids,” said a review. It fuses a cyberpunk aesthetic with a dark color palette, which will make your eyeballs tingle. It’s a masterpiece. Though it didn’t receive mainstream attention, it’s nothing short of a mind-bending and mind-blowing series.
The movie, Psycho-Pass: Providence received average, not-too-great ratings from its viewers. It was too fast-paced, so the story couldn’t unravel itself neatly. However, all the unanswered questions fans had after season three of the anime series were finally put to rest. The movie is an instant must-watch for Psycho-Pass fans if you want closure from the anime series.
