- Akane Tsunemori – the main character of the first and second seasons; a young employee of the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division, who rushes to look for the offender on the first working day; the girl is very responsible, executive, open and sincere with others, but at the beginning of her career she lacks self-confidence; over time, Akane becomes the leader of Unit One, but eventually leaves the Bureau.
- Mika Shimotsuki – originally a student of Oso Academy, over time, she became an inspector, a colleague of Akane; sometimes argues with Akane when it comes to dealing with criminals and observing police regulations; Mika does not trust anyone, the exception is Yayoi Kunizuka, who once saved her life.
Interesting Facts
- The uniqueness of the 2nd animated film “Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System” is that in one year the viewer was shown 3 parts at once. Prior to this, there was no such practice in trilogy production. The director had a difficult task in developing a trilogy plan in the smallest details, with which he successfully coped.
- Katsuyuki Motohiro became the director of the first animated film, Psycho-Pass: The Movie. And, perhaps, this is the only project in which Naoyoshi Shiotani acted as an assistant.
- In June 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture announced a ban on showing 28 Japanese animes and manga, including “Attack on Titan“, “Death Note”, “Psycho-Pass”, etc. According to officials, such projects include banned scenes or situations on the verge of permissible. This is violence, terrorism, pornography, crimes against public morality, which may adversely affect the psyche of the younger generation.
