An anime with a solid plot, good characters, good character development, great animation, etc. Basically, an all-rounder. I've already watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. What are some others?

First season of Psycho-Pass. later seasons got a bit too muddled and had some repetitive antagonists, so I wouldn't recommend continuing it. Shinya Kogami and Shogo Makishima's rivalry is the real meat of the story, and getting rid of both characters at the end of S1 just killed all of the show's momentum. Gd, what a rivalry though.

Oh yeah, and the animation, visual style, and music all slaps. There's also great side characters that get a few moments to develop and stand-out, and most of them didn't get brought along to later seasons either.

    If you ignore S2 it really is one that could be considered perfect. Movie quality audio, vizuals and story start to finish.

    It's one of many very sad instances where a visionary creative had a cool story they wanted to tell, and then after they finished and left the studio stepped in and said "Okay, now how much more can we wring out of it!"

    On the upside, the first season serves a full, complete perfect story, with nothing further that needed to be added. Also, not all of the additional stuff sucks. Production IG brought Gen back to write the movie, and it was OK.
