January 2118. Chief Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department, Akane Tsunemori, receives a report of an incident on a foreign vessel -- the body of Professor Milicia Stronskaya has been discovered. Behind the incident is a group known as the Peacebreakers, a foreign paramilitary organization and a new outside threat who are targeting the professor's research papers known as the "Stronskaya Document". Reunited with Shinya Kogami, a former fugitive from the Criminal Investigation Department, Akane grapples with a case that quickly escalates beyond their expectations. The Stronskaya Papers could reveal a truth that would shake Japan's government, and even the Sibyl System, to the core. It is in this untold story that the missing link is revealed.

Making Ghost in the Shell seem like Looney Tunes, this gloomy, dense, self-regarding sci-fi, part of a long-running Psycho-Pass franchise, is mostly a bird’s nest of tangled exposition.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

Often insightful about the dark impulses behind humankind’s need to delegate and cede to technology, it does a better job than most concept-drunk anime of parsing these philosophical musings into something semi-intelligible.

Rated: 3/5

Psycho-Pass Providence compels you to ponder about state surveillance and broken moral codes enforced by the government and what it means to fight while still clinging on to the law.

Covers the events that take place after "Sinners of the System" and before Psycho-Pass 3 (and "First Inspector"). Top notch.

Slow to start but closed up a lot of loose ends in the plot between seasons 2 and 3. You could watch this movie as your introduction to the series as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Watch season 1 + 2 + movie 1 (and the first few eps of season 3 optionally) to understand the story. Great animation and setpieces.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Bosco

This feature anime is so relevant to today's AI and behind the politician, a shadow government's absolute control over world domination. Amazing narrative, great plot points, and a surprising ending. Totally worth your money and time.
