History Anime / Psychopass

* {{Gorn}}: Shooting someone with a Dominator in Lethal Elimination mode turns them into a pool of blood and flesh. Shown in full detail from the first episode.

* {{Expy}}: Shinya Kögami is practically a {{Bishonen}} [[LightNovel/FateZero Kiritsugu Emiya]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Well, Amano Akira did the character designs and we all know what she usually draws.

* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: Effectively, the Dominators are. Their wielders are ''not''.

Akane Tsunemori lives in a strange world. In this time, a human's emotions and mental state are measured by a device called the Dominator, which identifies criminal intent in a person's soul and quantifies it into numbers. Anyone found exceeding a certain number is deemed a threat in need of therapy. The numbers used to measure a person's soul are called "Psycho-Pass".

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The Psycho-Pass levels seem to be categorized by colour.

-->''This is a world where the mental state and personal tendencies of a human can be quantified. [[BigBrotherIsWatching While all sorts of inclinations are recorded and policed]], these measured numbers used to judge peoples souls are often called "[[TitleDrop Psycho-Pass]]".

Hunting down those deemed a threat to society is the Public Safety Bureau. Composed of Enforcers, latent criminals whose Psycho-Pass has exceeded the acceptable level but have been granted permission to go outside to deliver justice on fellow criminals, and Inspectors who supervise them making sure they don't go too far, the pairs make sure criminals are not left to roam the streets.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: Passes all the litmus test to be classified as one. This is from [[ProductionIG the studio that animated]] ''GhostInTheShell'', they know well what they are doing.

* BadCopIncompetentCop: Notably, [[SubvertedTrope it's not that the cops themselves are bad-by-characters]], it's that they are helpless before the cold and sterile judgement of their enforcement device. The end result is just the same, though.

* Bishonen: Well, Amano Akira did the character designs and we all know what she usually draws.

* NaiveNewcomer: Tsunemori is brought onto her first case with little knowledge of what to do, so other characters have to explain everything to her.
