----------------------------------

Sounds like Gundam meets Psycho-Pass. Although, I can't get over my bias for Ubukata ruining Psycho-Pass S2 with his writing, and I've avoided watching anything with his name attached ever since. But maybe I should give him the shadow of the doubt that and have faith that he improved as a writer in the last decade.
