About

Quick guide

A 2113 Tokyo governed by a computer that predicts crime.

In 2113, the Sibyl System scans citizens’ brains and assigns each a Psycho‑Pass score, measuring the likelihood of committing crime. Law enforcement, led by novice Inspector Akane Tsunemori and veteran Enforcer Shinya Kogami, must investigate crimes while navigating a society that punishes potential criminals before they act.

What to know

  • The series is set in 2113 Japan, a cyber‑punk dystopia.
  • Every citizen’s mind is scanned for a Crime Coefficient.
  • Scores above 100 trigger the Dominator gun, which can be lethal.
  • Inspectors are civil servants, Enforcers are former criminals.

Watch if

If you enjoy cerebral thrillers that combine crime‑solving with a critique of surveillance and authoritarian governance, Psycho‑Pass offers layered characters, a complex moral landscape, and a fast‑paced narrative that stays grounded in psychological conflict.

Skip if

If you prefer light‑hearted action, romance‑driven plots, or stories that avoid heavy themes such as fear, justice, and AI oppression, this series may feel too dark and dense for your taste.
