As for some of my other favorites, Death Note is a classic for sure that I really enjoyed back in the day. Psycho Pass is another awesome blend of dystopia/psychological, and at times it can do a bit of horror. I actually only ever watched Psycho Pass 1 but just downloaded the entire rest of the series the other day so I've been meaning to watch that. Heard good things though, but definitely enjoyed the first season/series.

Cyberpunk was a surprise for me too! Have you noticed how many people are playing/doing covers of that super sad song at the end?

Let me know what you end up thinking of Psycho Pass! I've always been curious but never got round to trying it!

I'd be lying if I said that song wasn't stuck in my head for a couple weeks after the show came out, definitely a catchy one.

Will let you know what I think of the later seasons of Psycho Pass, but I can definitely recommend first season on its own already. I watched it years ago standalone from the rest and enjoyed it as it has a satisfying ending, no cliffhanger really. Only recently started looking into the later seasons to continue with.

Don’t believe me, listen to Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell which is fitting for the genre.
