Psycho-Pass Season 1 has been on my anime watchlist for years now and it felt like the right time to see it I suppose. Overall I'd say it was surprisingly decent. Its exploration about surveillance, humanity's growing reliance on technology, human's capacity to do good and bad things and who should judge them and so on, give it some good depth. In the character department it is fairly lacking, with some characters almost being little more than mouthpieces for telling us what the writers want to communicate bluntly and very often they act as exposition machine, with that good old clumsy anime exposition delivery. There are characters that have so little depth that they might only be memorable for superficial things such as who they are physically attracted to. Thankfully though Akane, Kogami and Makishima prove to be decent as our trio of core characters. They have some interesting dynamics and while none are particularly great, they at least give a little more depth to the show. The story is engaging enough, though of course there are many moments in relation to the plot that kind of make you roll your eyes. A part of me really wanted to see the entire system turned upside down and I'm not sure how it didn't happen but then again, the plot armour around the good and bad guys isn't surprising. Ultimately it feels like an exercise in how "the more things change, the more they stay the same". Psycho-Pass is a very 2010s anime. It has an unimpressive visual style that comprises decent animation and average character designs. I couldn't outright distinguish between it and other anime shows from the decade such as Steins;Gate, Tokyo Ghoul etc. That being said, there's enough depth in the storytelling and it doesn't have an increasingly more ludicrous plot so its execution ultimately makes it good. I'm glad I finally saw it and no, I have no intention of seeing Season 2.
