What a waster, what a fucking waster ©
Idk how people find this anime entertaining. Does it comment on something like a good satire? Nope. Is it funny in dialogue or visual comedy like a good parody? Nope. Does the over-the-top action provide enough entertainment? Nah, it's repetitive. I don't want to call a stupid show stupid and write a whole essay ranting about it. Being a stupid, cheesy, wild-ride cringe show is fine. It can be delicious. But it's not a KLK case. It's just a boring waste.
Let me, a professional cringe enthusiast, tell you how to make a good cringe. It's simple - once ... you set a "trash bar," you can't lower it at any cost. Like in the Riki-Oh, where the level of insanity never drops. A grotesque gore killing evolves into an even more pathos-laden silly mass murder scene and action, the viewer never gets a chance to catch their breath. What about KLK? When a silly villain is beaten, all the tasty bits of young female flesh are shown and all the arguments are shouted, nothing happens. It just goes on and on in the same groove. Same jokes, same nudity, same action. And of course, the same expositional drama, as if anyone would care about a cheap clichéd revenge arc in the trash that was made for fun. So for me watching KLK was like chewing cheap gum - repetitive motion with the taste that wears off pretty fast.

Omg, this is so bad. Equilibrium meets Minority Report with a dash of Demolition Man, seasoned with Judge Dredd. But all the good stuff - cool action, humanism, soul, badassery, and self-aware humor - has been cut out.
Why must there be other ingredients? Why not just leave the psycho-pass alone in its bleak sci-fi pseudo-intelligent jerk circle? Bc all the movies mentioned above (and PP too) have nothing deep in their world-building, they are not a Brave New World on screen, they are dystopian backgrounds for filmmakers to have fun with. And I, as a viewer, had fun with Dredd or Equilibrium because I ... was entertained enough not to start asking questions about how everything works.

Psycho-pass takes a different path, challenging the viewer's intelligence and boredom. The characters are walking-talking boring clichés: naive doe-eyed idiot female plank of wood with golden heart + badass bad boy plank of wood with tendencies to harass the viewer with infodumps of high moral bullshit. As for the supporting cast, I can only remember the cheap Colombo guy - he has a glimpse of a human being.
All the characters are just the creator's torture instruments of non-stop boring info-dumping. I think Urobuchi is a "it's so deep no one will understand" meme come to life.
You'll say I'm a Michael Bay action-seeking retard with a short attention span. Ha lol nope. One of my favorite movies is Satantango, yeah I can sit and enjoy 7 hours of drying dirt. And it's more entertaining than Psycho-pass because it's showing not telling.
You can feel the dirt in Satantango, be mesmerized, vibe with the dark world and characters, and think and reflect.

PP left you no room to think, you have to be spoon-fed dystopian pseudo-intelligence nonsense by super boring cliché characters.

4 for the music, which sometimes wakes me up from my lethargy, and for the visuals.

Welcome to the void. Where worldbuilding or plot is needed, Bucchigiri provides pure nothingness. The first episode set up some pretty good building points: Chinese restaurant, Arabic vibes (did you know that Aladdin was Chinese in the original Arabian Nights story?), the mystery of lost friendship, school fights, etc. But from the second ep everything dissolves into nothing.

MC (the one-dimensional generic student) gets stuck in the infinite loop:
-Subplot №1-
MC's mother: Arajin, let me take care of you!
MC (being an insufferable brat): SHUT UP, MOM!
-Subplot №2-
MC's childhood friend (Matakara): Arajin, let's be friends again!
MC (as an insufferable brat): FUCK OFF!
-Main Plot-
MC (suffering from ... virginity): Mahoro, be my girl!
MC's love interest (Mahoro): Nah, I love my brother, but the plot needs to move, so Arajin, go back to simping.
-Subplot №3-
MC (simping to Mahoro) becomes a tennis ball in the turf wars between school gangs.
-Subplot №4-
Senya (MC's imaginary friend): Arajin, let's go fight some thugs!
MC (being a pathetic bitch): Nah, unless it helps my simping.

That's all, guys. It's Bucchigiri's ultimate algorithm, the sauce, the story, the void. Wait, I forgot about the teacher sneaking into the Neko Bar. You'll see this gag in every episode - feel the humor of the show and try not to cringe.
In the end, I was left with mixed feelings because it's a damn good looking anime. Everything about the art is excellent. And I can't thank the writers enough for the fanservice. So many beautiful boys <3 (I'm not counting the MC aka the pathetic plank of wood with one brain cell).

So my rating is 4: MAPPA production quality + yaoi vibes + cool songs + some action.
