I had watched it a long time ago and have forgotten most part of it. Can anyone give a recap or link to a site or YT video where proper explanation is given?
I assume that you remember about the concept of Psycho-Pass or cymatic scan; the Sybil System, a centralised AI-like system, measures with high accuracy the chances that people have to turn into criminals. If your score is strictly below 100, you are deemed mentally healthy (although counselling will be advised as one gets closer to 100), between 100 and 299, you are forcefully sent to a rehabilitation centre—that some people never leave—and over 300, you will be executed by Dominator—the gun-like weapon that law-enforcers use to measure the cymatic scan of people, arrest (the gun may turns into a taser), or kill them—wielding-agents, although some people with a cymatic scan over 300 are sent to prison forever.
Tsunemori Akane is a freshly graduated inspector who joins the Public Safety Bureau. Her team comprises fellow inspector Ginoza Nobuchika, and a group of reformed criminals who cymatic scan is comprised between 100 and 299. They are considered to be no other than hounds used to hunt down criminals—and treated as such, including Nobuchika's own father Masaoka Tomomi.
The avid reader and Übermensch Makishima Shougo wants to release mankind from its golden prison, and let human desires engulf the world like a tsunami. The Psycho-Pass cannot detect his crimes, for he belongs to the rare category of people known as criminally asymptomatic persons—those can commit crimes, and keep a cymatic scan below 100; his own eventually reaches the value 0. After failing to "recruit" him once, the Sybil System proves unable to capture him again and make him join their ranks amongst fellow criminally asymptomatic people who are reduced to their brains working in parallel—this is the true nature of Sybil System. In order to free Japan from the shackles of Sybil, after committing or helping criminals to commit a series of gruesome crimes, Makishima decides to release a virus in the automatic food production system, that would force Japan to open itself to the world in order to buy food—it would sound the death knell of Sybil, for Japan would have to let in people having a "stained" cymatic scan. Akane and Kougami Shinya, one of the hounds under her command, pledge to stop Makishima. While Akane decides to stay within the legal framework, Shinya is well-decided to stop Makishima for good. Eventually, Makishima is shot by Shinya who flees away from the country, and Akane discovers the secret of Sybil and decides to swear allegiance a second time to the System that removed their freedom to human beings, and turned them into emotionally tone-deaf machines.
In Season 2, the Sybil System is confronted to the issue of judging a group of people, for someone made of a patchwork of human beings is undetectable by Sybil, who fears to have to sentence itself to death if it obtained the ability to judge groups. In the end, under the impetus of Akane, the human patchwork is killed, and Sybil acquires this new capacity and finds out that its own cymatic scan is equal to 0. The season ends on the possibility for Sybil to eventually judge countries and the whole world. What would happen if a country's cymatic scan was over 300? Brr...

Season 3 is probably irrelevant to the movie.
Thanks a lot bro!! Lets see how the movie picks up the plot
karl646 said: Once they thought Akane could replace Kougami as the MC I knew this series was doomed.
Well true though. I have seen many people who didnt watched after season 1 as kougami was not the MC. I still watched all the parts as i liked this series a lot
