A stage greeting was held for "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass Sinners of the System Case.1 Crime and Punishment," which opened in theaters on January 25, 2019.

PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" is an original science fiction animation depicting a police force that is called to account in a near-future society where the psychological state of humans is quantified and managed.
The first season of the anime, which depicts the story of a near-future police force, was broadcast as a TV anime from October 2012 to March 2013 on Fuji Television's "Noitamina" slot. The second season, which started in October 2014, was set a year and a half after the final episode of the first season, and a completely new story was depicted in the movie version released in January 2015, both of which became the talk of the town. As the "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" Next Project, "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass Sinners of the System" will be continuously released in theaters from January 25, 2019 (Friday).

The stage greeting for "PSYCHO-PASS: Psycho-Pass Sinners of the System Case.1 Crime and Punishment," which opened in theaters on January 25, 2019, was attended by main cast members Kenji Nojima, who plays Nobumoto Ginoza, Ayane Sakura, who plays Mika Shimotsuki, and director Naoyoshi Shiotani. The following are comments from the three who took the stage for the stage greeting.

Official Report】

--About the main characters being Ginoza and Shimotsuki

Director Shiotani: This is the first of three theater productions. Shimotsuki is compared to Tsunemori and Ginoza is compared to Cunningham, and they have in common that they hate potential criminals in the past. I thought it would be interesting if these two faced the case from their respective standpoints and the drama progressed, so I created a work with these two as the main characters. The story is about Ginoza and Shimotsuki's growth, and you can see changes in their conversations, so please pay attention to that as well.

--Highlights of Case.1

Ms. Nojima: In the first season of the TV anime, Shimotsuki was more sensitive than Ginoza, as if he had to bite the hand that feeds him or else he would cease to be himself. I hope you will enjoy this kind of change.

Ms. Sakura: I was told by a senior who saw the movie version that "Shimotsuki has grown up." I think one of the highlights of this movie is that the current Shimotsuki is like a barking puppy like the old Ginoza, and Ginoza, who has grown up from a puppy, takes care of him.

--Last greeting

Ms. Sakura：I may not be able to grasp everything, but this is a film that will make you feel that you have encountered an amazing work. The director told me that there is a trick in the opening film, so please watch carefully.

Mr. Nojima: As I mentioned earlier, my sense of values changed after watching this film. There is a lot of information in this film all at once, so I hope you will watch it all without blinking. Don't miss a single moment. Case.2 and Case.3, which will be released in the future, are also finished works that you will definitely want to see.

Director Shiotani: My staff and I put everything into this film, and we hope you will watch the entire series, because I think you will be able to see more of the film after watching Case.1, Case.2, and Case.3.

A special gift for visitors will be a collection of "PSYCHO-PASS: Psycho-Pass Sinners of the System" settings!
This is a must-see collection of settings that includes character and mecha design setting drawings, art boards, and more.
Original goods, including a bible-sized binder to hold the book, are also on sale at the screening theaters!
We hope you will enjoy the world of "PSYCHO-PASS" at the theaters.
