Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit.

The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

I can't believe you guys don't have a topic about Psycho-Pass. Well here is one now!

Story:

100 years from now , it is possible to instantaneously measure a person's mental state, personality, and the probability that a person will commit crimes, all through a device installed on each citizen's body called the 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. This task is performed by a special team of potential criminals called Enforcers, who are supervised by police officers known as Inspectors; the Inspectors ensure that Enforcers perform their duties within the constraints of the law. Enforcers and Inspectors employ special weapons called "Dominators" that are designed to fire only on those with a higher than normal Crime Coefficient. The story follows Unit One of the Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. (C/P from Wiki)

It is produced by Studio I.G. , written by Gen Urobuchi (you know, the guy who did PMMM) and the characters are design by Akira Amano (KHR).

If you guys haven't heard of it give it a watch, it's fantastic and it's pretty deep like Puella Magi so I would really appreciate if we can get a discussion going.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

I have a friend who loves it, so I've been seeing her post it all over tumblr for a while. I looked into the premise and it seems really interesting, I'd love to check it out at some point.

YOU SHOULD. It presents with a society that is pretty damn chilling to the bone and it throws out a lot of book reference that I think you guys would find delight in. Good animation and pretty boys and girls is a bonus. As well as a pretty fantastic and likable main lead.

To be fair it's not like the main characters in most animated media aren't pretty. =P Idealized characters and all that.

But yeah. It sounds a lot like Minority Report, which is another one I've been wanting to watch.

I had not before heard of this, but now that I have, I'll certainly try to watch it. Sounds pretty fascinating.

Free to watch on funimation! It updates every Thursday.

I think Psycho-Pass was being compared to Minority Report but I haven't see the other to make much of it myself. It sounds like it at a glace.

Pretty boys and girls is always the way to go in animu. It's like the saying 'Sex Sells'.

I'm not sure why this isn't in the anime topic; I talked about P-P a bit when it was first airing.

It's not bad. Urobuchi meets GitS.

I've been following it since it first aired. It's a really good series if you set aside the fact that the premise isn't exactly original when compared to Western dystopian fiction. I mean, look at all the books you see the characters reading. It's totally on purpose, but in a pretentious in-your-face way.

Yeah, I agree, all those book flashes are really pretentious. Makes me want to punch someone whenever that shows up. Even if it was related I feel the representation was too heavy handed and way to literal. It wasn't really fun at all, minus a OH I READ THAT THING I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON kind of moment.

I may have spent most of last night catching up to this. I had gotten up to episode 9 before but then things got exciting suddenly.

Anyway, forget the book references, what is the deal with the music. This is not Evangelion guys, wtf is with the Ode to Joy 8|

Truly deep anime must have pretentious classical music. Didn't you know that?

What are you talking about, eps 18 is quality.

The Art Director issue an formal apology before the eps aired. Yikes.

But the plot HURTS. Even with the derp. Speaking of, the case of the missing Tie and Jacket. Did you see it?

Okay, that's the Psycho-Pass I know and love. ty ep 20.

Also, I took way too long to notice that they kept adding to the second OP in the later episodes. Mostly because I was being distracted by all the "'CAUSE I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL".

I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU

OMFG. I SWEAR TO GOD THE 2ND OP IS TOTALLY SPOILERISH.

And yes all of the 'AND I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL'

At least this eps clears up one of the mysteries of PP. He is dead. Decomposed. Poor guy. I liked him.
also Akane is so BAMF I can't even.

Still that deal will probably back fire on our poor baby.
