The title Psycho-Pass appears to be inspired by the 1960 film Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, although the series itself does not seem to be directly related to the film. The series is an anime production, and its storyline involves the Sibyl System, which is used to determine the threat level of each citizen in Japan.
