History Trivia / PsychoPass

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Kogami may be mean in the anime, his [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Japanese]] and [[Creator/RobertMcCollum English]] voice actors are nice guys in real-life.

* BannedInChina: In June 2015, Chinese censors banned ''Psycho-Pass'' as part of a crackdown over politically questionable content [[https://www.geek.com/geek-cetera/every-chinese-citizen-will-soon-have-a-score-based-on-how-they-live-and-conform-1635832/ Probably because of how the Sibyl System is mirroring the Chinese Government]].
* CastingGag: Noriko Hidaka, who voices the Dominator, has voiced a much more famous [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane]].
** You know, this is not the first time that Creator/MaayaSakamoto has [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai played]] a [[TheSociopath sociopath]]. The difference, this one is no [[SociopathicHero hero]].

* {{Defictionalization}}: The PSB jackets including Shinya's winter jacket, Yayoi's coat and Ginoza's glasses are part of the show's merchandises though they're sold out. There's also the actual Dominator which you still buy

* FanNickname: Kirito Kamui is sometimes called "Evil harem lead Kirito" as a nod to the similarly named protagonist of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' for various reasons, most of which involve a TakeThat or 2.

* {{Jossed}}: Some fans thought that Togane is [[spoiler:Kougami]] in disguise due to similar behavior. But this theory was debunked when Mika investigated his room and found a childhood picture of him and his mother, [[spoiler:along with photos of Akane with circles drawn around the eyes and mouth which is something that Kougami would never do]].

** In both seasons, Akane's idealism brings her into conflict with another Inspector (Nobuchika in season 1, Mika in season 2) who believes that the Sibyl System's directives should be followed closely, but eventually said Inspector is forced to revaluate their beliefs as they come to the realization that the System is actually much more flawed than they originally perceived it to be.

* SheAlsoDid: The anime's original character designer, Akira Amano, also the manga artist for [[Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn Reborn!]], would also go on to start her [[Manga/{{elDLIVE}} next manga]].

** Akane is also faced with similar problems in both seasons, firstly regarding a member of Unit 1 going more or less rogue due to an obsession with seeking [[ItsPersonal personal]] revenge against the antagonist, and secondly when her resolve is severely by tested by one of her close friends ending up getting murdered by the antagonist.

* RecycledScript: The second season is in many ways a shorter version of the first. The main plots of both seasons are that of Akane facing off against a mysterious antagonist who is bent on bringing down the the Sibyl System by using its own core infrastructure against it, and also has a special trait that allows them to go undetected by the System, and both antagonists try to achieve this goal by recruiting several followers to their cause and share their ability to operate outside the system with them, as well as exploiting the ways people interfaces with normal and seemingly innocuous technology for their own sinister purposes, and Akane eventually confronts both antagonists with a real gun at one point.

** Averted for the XBOX 1 game, since it's getting a release to Hong Kong/Macau with English and Chinese subtitles.

** In the dub, Lara Woodhull plays Akane's [[Manga/{{Kuragehime}} pink jellyfish]] avatar.

* CastingGag[=/=]HeyItsThatVoice: Noriko Hidaka, who voices the Dominator, has voiced a much more famous [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane]].

* BannedInChina: Chinese censors have banned Psycho-Pass as part of a crackdown over questionable and obscene content.

** There is also crazy theory about [[spoiler:Makishima]] surviving and "he" is in the Chief's body regardless that he was [[BoomHeadshot shot on the head close range]] with [[RealityEnsures zero possibility]] that his brain is alive and intact.

* NoExportForYou: This franchise has ''a lot'' of ExpandedUniverse material including light novels, manga, drama CDs and more that really flesh out a lot of the side characters. These include a drama CD that covers the Specimen Case, a novel detailing Masaoka's background with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and a manga centered on Risa Aoyanagi and Division 3. Too bad none of this has ever gotten officially translated, and fan translations are few and far between.
