Even then, my main gripe is with the characters. I can’t stand em and the story isn’t doing a well enough job at countering it. So I’m gonna let this go.
Don’t get me wrong. The show seems really cool. I think that’s really where the show’s attraction lies too. It relies a lot on the watcher thinking the show is cool as well. Just like Another, which relies on the watcher thinking the show is scary even if it’s just a pile of gore. Otherwise, it just gets boring. I bet this would be a holy grail for 9 yr olds who enjoy playing with nerf guns.
Psycho-Pass is a trove of world-building. The Sybil system this show prides itself in is a really nice take on your run-of-the-mill dystopia. But the characters… They sorta fall short. They seem like empty husks whose purpose is to play a part. They don’t feel natural. It’s like they put too much effort into the worldbuilding, and not into the characters and plot.
