I got partway through episode 14 of Psycho Pass and now I'm going to drop it. It was genuinely intriguing early on, but starting with episode 11 it became so fucking stupid, and it just keeps getting worse. The scene in 14 where mask guy beat a woman to death with a hammer while a whole crowd watched, and even enjoyed the spectacle was so gross that I immediately stopped watching. This show is beginning to incorporate all of the worst aspects of a lot of my most hated anime. It had the shitty pointless shock value of Gantz or Inuyashiki, literally my bottom two. It also had a society where the flaws are just so blatant that I can't accept that it could really exist in any capacity. It reminded me of Death Parade in that regard. Both it and Psycho Pass were clearly about exploring flaws in a broken system, but it doesn't work for me when the flaws are super obvious. I mean, why even bother exploring it when the flaws are this blatant? What's the big theme here? Don't trust a computer with judging life and death? Okay, I promise I won't. I just can't get invested or enjoy any of this.

Sorry for the bad feelings for one of your favorite anime. I still appreciated the recommendation! I just have a very low tolerance for this kind of feel-bad shock value. You can feel free to recommend something else, if you want, and I hope I haven't offended you. Like I've said before, not every show can appeal to everyone. Psycho Pass just really wasn't for me.
