Review of Psycho-Pass: The Movie

The Psycho Pass series can be best summed up as: Season 1: Criminality, Season 2: Terrorism, The Move: War I have to say that I genuinely enjoyed the movie and had a grin on my face the entire time Kougami was on screen. But that's just my inner fanboy talking. Anyways, about this movie. It seems too short. I enjoyed it for what it is and is a much more welcoming return than Season 2. However, they should've made this movie into an actual season instead because it winds up wrapping everything up by the end that it wastes potentially great characters and story arcs. It is almost difficultto say anything without spoilers, but the show has taken a more action path in contrast to its detective mystery that it held in the first season. In fact, one could say that this is Psycho Pass on steroids.

The story is great, but the main reason overall for it is to show the Sybil Systems grasp outside Japan and to let the viewers know what Kougami has been up to this entire time. Besides the expansion of Japan's government to foreign territory and Kougami being a badass, this show doesn't really do much add to the series. However, I could forgive this under the guise that this overall is just a movie meant to appease the fans for the long awaited Season 3.

Watch it. You can even do so without full knowledge of what transpired in Season 2.
