Are you sure that's entirely the fault of the dub, though? Because the way the conversations are constructed by the writer makes it seem that way (characters not reacting to one another) in just about EVERY show he's written. I felt that way watching Fate Zero, felt that way watching Madoka, felt that way watching what little of Suisei no Gargantia I could stomach before dropping that show and felt that way watching this show. In fact because Psycho Pass is kinda like a police procedural and therefore most characters would naturally keep their thoughts close to their chests I gave this show a bit of a pass. Still noticed it though, and I haven't even heard how it sounds dubbed. I personally think that Mr Urobuchi is too busy trying to cram his ideas down our throats in the most obvious way possible so we "get it" to actually make them come out naturally through the interactions of his characters. |

Loved GITS SAC. If you love SAC you'll probably love this. |

I didn't find the series to be brilliant but I did enjoy certain aspects of it through its full run while the english dub isn't above the average mark its certainly isn't wooden sounding no modern dub I've listened to in the last decade has come off as wooden. The main reason why the dub is simply an average effort in the end is because of the ADR Director Zach Bolton he's the least talented director currently working at Funimation. Zach's works are always passable but rarely do they impress or go beyond being average fare in the end. If I had to choose a favorite performance from the dub it would definitely be Alex Organ's Shōgo Makishima. Kate Oxley's Akane Tsunemori while not bad was most likely the weakest link in the entire dub. I would take the Psycho Pass dub over the Space Dandy dub any day of the week if given a choice on the matter.(That's relative because Zach was the ADR Director for both dubs) The soundtrack never left a huge impression on me but I found it to be decent at best.

I'm excited for Psycho-Pass on Blu-Ray! I have not heard the english dub so I wouldn't really be able to judge it until I've heard it. The only english dub I have ever enjoyed in the past was the original FMA series.

In Akane's world, the police are something to be feared, if they visit you. There is nothing good, whether you are victim or a criminal, if the police take an interest in you. So I don't see a problem with society being ignorant of police activities. The gun itself, seems to be a pretty expensive piece of machinery. It is not unrealistic that such a piece of weaponry wouldn't be at the academy. Money trumps common sense all the time. Though nothing I said discounts what you are saying, each could be equally right. Only the writers know. |

But Psycho-Pass doesn't have the buddy cop dynamic between cute, moe Togusa & sensitive Batou, does it? It's funny; when I first watched GiTS:SAC, my favorite character was the badass Major, but over the years Togusa became my favorite. |
