Watch: New English-Dub Trailer Drops for ‘Psycho-Pass: Providence’ Cyberpunk Anime Pic

Crunchyroll, in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, has just served up a fresh English-dub trailer for Psycho-Pass: Providence, a new sci-fi crime thriller anime headed for North American theaters beginning on July 14, 2023.

Directed by Naoyoshi Shiotani based on original story concept by Gen Urobuchi and a screenplay from Makoto Fukami and Tow Ubukata, Psycho-Pass: Providence boasts original character designs by Akira Amano and Naoyuki Onda, with a kinetic Yugo Kanno techno score to accentuate the frenzied action.

Here’s the official synopsis:

January 2118. Chief Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department, Akane Tsunemori, receives a report of an incident on a foreign vessel – the body of Professor Milicia Stronskaya has been discovered. Behind the incident is a group known as the Peacebreakers, a foreign paramilitary organization and a new outside threat who are targeting the professor’s research papers known as the “Stronskaya Document”. 

Reunited with Shinya Kogami, a former fugitive from the Criminal Investigation Department, Akane grapples with a case that quickly escalates beyond their expectations. The Stronskaya Papers could reveal a truth that would shake Japan’s government, and even the Sibyl System, to the core. It is in this untold story that the missing link is revealed.

Per the official press release, the Psycho-Pass franchise relates to something called The Sibyl System, an authoritarian construct that measures human personality traits. Sibyl’s analytical results dictate all aspects of a citizen’s future. In exchange for Sibyl’s role, inhabitants experience a placid existence. With mental states being fully recorded and scrutinized, the potential of a person’s soul is a measurement known as the Psycho-Pass. Special detectives armed with weapons called Dominators collaborate with enforcers who track down would-be criminals prior to engaging in illegal activities. Think Blade Runner meets Minority Report!

Psycho-Pass began life as a cyberpunk anime series broadcast on Japan’s Fuji TV from 2012-2013. This upcoming feature film serves as a bridge between the Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System – Case 3: On the Other Side of Love and Hate mini-film and the Psycho-Pass Season 3 TV series to complete the entire saga.

This new English dub cast includes Kate Oxley (Akane Tsunemori), Robert McCollum (Shinya Kogami), Jessie James (Nobuchika Ginoza), Cherami Leigh (Mika Shimotsuki), Mike McFarland (Teppei Sugo), Z. Charles Bolton (Sho Hinakawa), Lindsay Seidel (Yayoi Kunizuka), Lydia Mackay (Shion Karanomori), Erin Kelly Noble (Frederica Hanashiro), Bruce DuBose (Arata Shindo), Eduardo Vildasol (Kei Mikhail), and Stephanie Young (Dominator).

Psycho-Pass: Providence strikes North American theaters on July 14, 2023.
