Synopsis
In a dystopic version of future Japan, criminal suspects are judged by the Sibyl System, a technology that scans a person’s brain and calculates one’s inclination to commit crime with quantifiable data. A Psycho-Pass is a reading of a person that the Sibyl System has processed based on their Crime Coefficient, Hue, and other biological stats.
Psycho-Pass 3 is the third season in the anime series. While the show will still focus on murder cases investigated by Inspectors and Enforcers, it will follow the story of a new cast of characters, namely Arata Shindo and Kei Ignatov, two childhood friends working in the Public Safety Bureau.
