"Aspiration"

It feels like that old Saki mahjong, except with more bondage, evil geniuses, and revenge. Swiftly approved!

(Hametsu no Ashioto)
"Footsteps of Ruin"

This is rare for an anime- nay, any kind of story in general: a daring leap 12 years forward into the future, where the kids we've been following are now adults. Does it work? Oh hell yes it does.

"The man sweats under the blue summer sky"

Hes baaaaaaaaaack

First Impressions PSYCHO-PASS

Extreme suffering and a penchant for violence is a staple in any Uro~~butcher~~buchi Gen show, but their presence in PSYCHO-PASS strikes a different chord than their use in Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica or Fate/Zero.
