When I first watched Psycho-Pass, it quickly became one of my favorite shows. Containing a dark, gritty vision of the future, it showed an interesting dystopia in which thought crimes could be measured and criminalized through a person’s Psycho-Pass. Those who are deemed a possible future problem for society are captured or killed. However, the most interesting part of the series to me was the many references to literary and philosophical thinkers ranging from Shakespeare to Philip K. Dick to Weber. Despite these references, the biggest philosophical musings belong to the show’s three main characters: Akane Tsunemori, Shinya Kogami, and Shougo Makishima. Together, the three symbolize the whole of society in the balance of their ideals. Analysis of these characters will lead to major spoilers in the show. If you have not seen it yet, you can see where you can legally watch it here. Otherwise, continue if you have seen it or do not care about spoilers.
