While we learned back in July at Anime Expo that Psycho-Pass was going to get a second season, more information has come out now at an event in Japan where the first season was screened. Confirmed via the noitaminA official site, the second season has fully gotten the green light to go ahead for Psych0-Pass but a full length anime feature as well. As can be expected, details are slim at the moment but fans of the series will definitely be pleased by the reveal and the trailer that was revealed for it.
FUNimation simulcast the series previously when it debuted in the fall of 2012 and they’ve indicated previously that the first season of the series will be getting a spring 2014 DVD/Blu-ray release in bilingual form.
Plot concept: Psycho-Pass is set in a future where it is possible to instantaneously measure a person’s mental state, personality, and the probability that a person will commit crimes, all through a “cymatic scan” of the brain. The resulting assessment is called a Psycho-Pass. When this probability, measured by the “Crime Coefficient” index, is too high in an individual, they are pursued and apprehended—with lethal force, if necessary. The plot focuses on a young adult named Akane Tsunemori who is a new police officer known as Inspector within Unit One of the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division. As an Inspector she hunts criminal alongside a special team of so called latent criminals (people whose Crime Coefficients are deemed too high, and without chance of recovery) called Enforcers. Both Enforcers and Inspectors use magnum-esque “Dominators”, special weapons designed to fire only on those with a higher-than-acceptable Crime Coefficient. During some of Akane’s first investigations, the group learns of a mastermind behind multiple crimes, Shogo Makishima.
