Episodes 1-22 (2012-2013) are set in a future Japan governed by the Sibyl System, which quantifies every citizen's mental state as a numeric "Psycho-Pass" to predict criminal potential before a crime occurs. Rookie Inspector Akane Tsunemori is partnered with Shinya Kogami, a fallen Enforcer, as they hunt Shogo Makishima — a man whose Psycho-Pass cannot be read, making him invisible to the system meant to stop him.
