Ever pondered what would occur if Steven Spielberg's film Minority Report was transformed into an anime? While that never officially transpired, Psycho-Pass bears a striking resemblance to the 2002 sci-fi masterpiece. Both seasons have recently been released on Blu-ray, but it might be wise to hold off on adding them to your collection, as Walmart now offers an exclusive box set containing both seasons at a significantly reduced price. The Psycho-Pass: Seasons 1 + 2 Blu-ray Box Set is available for preorder at Walmart for $40, with a release date set for February 4.

Psycho-Pass made its debut in 2012 with a 22-episode first season. Psycho-Pass 2, often referred to as Season 2, followed in 2014 with 11 episodes. The highly acclaimed anime returned in 2019 with an eight-episode arc. Additionally, Psycho-Pass has been adapted into multiple movies. The first movie, released in 2015, is currently discounted on Amazon. You can purchase the Blu-ray edition of Psycho-Pass: The Movie for $23 (originally $35). Psycho-Pass: Providence, released in 2023, received rave reviews and is available on Blu-ray for $29 (originally $40) at Amazon.

Psycho-Pass has garnered acclaim for its top-notch animation and compelling dystopian storyline. Set in a future Japan, the series explores a legal system where thoughts of crime can flag you for surveillance by a specialized task force. A computer network continuously monitors the biometrics of every citizen, allowing law enforcement to intercept potential crimes by targeting individuals with high "Crime Coefficients." Inspectors, tasked with apprehending these pre-crime suspects, are supported by Enforcers—former criminals who act as bodyguards. Both inspectors and enforcers utilize a "Dominator" gun that only fires when authorized by the Sibyl System.

Another noteworthy anime currently on sale—also featuring the word "Psycho" in its title—is Mob Psycho 100. Amazon has discounted all three box sets of the series. If you're seeking a heartfelt narrative accompanied by stunning animation, this anime won't let you down. These offers are limited-time only, so act fast. The story revolves around a boy with god-like psychic abilities who aspires to live a normal life in a city teeming with malevolent spirits, clairvoyants with world domination ambitions, and the world's most formidable con-artist.
