The Ouryou Rikako arc with school girls being dismembered and their body parts being used for "art" immediatly made me think of Mouryou no Hako.
While the context is different, both of them have mystery, gore and profanity, Psycho-Pass being more action oriented, Mouryou no Hako more on the psychological side.
"Gore", that is presented as some kind of beauty is an recurring theme in Mouryo no Hako and also in at least one of the cases of Psycho Pass.
The presentation of a young female infatuated with another is also somewhat reminiscent of Mouryo no Hako.
The idea of trying to understand the culprits mindset or else the one trying will get dragged down the abyss towards craziness is also present in both, through in Mouryo no Hako not as strong a topic as in Psycho Pass.

Philosophical/existential questions, psychologically-driven investigations and dismembered (lesbian) schoolgirls.
Being stained and pulled to the dark side will turn people either into criminals or 'mouryou'.
Characters are clever, lunatic, or both. Morbid artsy murders. Lots of bishounen.
One is futuristic and action-packed, the other historical and sluggish, yet the themes and presentation are similar.

Both have in common:
- A group of investigators/detectives investigating bizarre murders of schoolgirls who have been dismembered.
- The most beautiful/popular girl of the private girls school has a strong connection to the deaths and she is infatuated with another girl/girls.
- While PP is in a futuristic setting, MnH is in a past era. Both have wonderful artwork and visuals.
Both has this dark mood and mystery going on. It also deals with a changing time in Japan.
