If you liked Psycho-Pass add

...then you might like 86 add

I am surprised by the lack of people who recommended for fans of 86 to watch Psycho-Pass and vice versa, for there are a number of similarities that satisfy the tastes of those looking for an entertaining yet thought-provoking series to invest in. Both shows present a dystopian reality where solutions stemming from compromises have been set to avoid the total destruction of society. People are categorized based on certain attributes, supporting the systemic discrimination demonstrated throughout the shows (For 86, socioeconomic standards, and Psycho-Pass, one’s “crime coefficiency”). The plot and structure of the shows seem to parallel as well; both stories are set in motion when the extraordinary female lead of a higher position joins a pre-established team to take on missions given by the government. Although the two inherently focus on different aspects of society (86 centers on the brutality of war whereas Psycho-Pass rests on law and order), both unite in criticizing the flaws of a controlling government that fails to care for the people, and fight against the consequences that are born from it. Personally, the key that made these two shows so enjoyable was their success in presenting the perspectives of both sides. If a show is to address controversial topics, this open-mindedness is an essential component that has to weave into the story, which 86 and Psycho-Pass do unfailingly. These are some comparable notes on the two shows, not delving into the factors of good character development, great soundtracks, and most importantly, excellent pacing. Ultimately, if either one of these shows satisfied your tastes, you surely cannot miss out on the other.
