The Psycho-Pass Providence anime movie will be screened in Malaysia at TGV Cinemas, with the cinema chain posting the film’s visual with the caption, “Chief Inspector Akane Tsunemori will see you soon.”
Psycho-Pass Providence, the latest entry in the Psycho-Pass franchise that began in 2012, had its Japanese premiere on May 12. That same month, it was announced that it would have a summer release in various international territories, including Malaysia.
The new movie is set between the events of Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System 3 and Psycho-Pass Season 3. The plot is described as:
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.
Like 2020’s Psycho-Pass 3: First Inspector, Psycho-Pass Providence is directed by Naoyoshi Shiotani with Naoyuki Onda as character designer, Tow Ubukata as script composer and one of the scriptwriters, Makiko Suzuki as color designer, Shuuichi Kusamori as art director, Eiji Arai as photography director, and Yuugo Kanno as music composer.
Meanwhile, the cast includes various names from previous entries like:
• Kana Hanazawa as Akane Tsunemori
• Tomokazu Seki as Shinya Kogami
• Kenji Nojima as Nobuchika Ginoza
• Shizuka Itou as Yayoi Kunizuka

• Takahiro Sakurai as Sho Hinakawa

The original TV anime series was directed by Shiotani with Katsuyuki Motohiro as chief director, Gen Urobuchi as story draft writer, manga artist Akira Amano as original character designer, Kyouji Asano as character designer, and Takahiro Chiba as sub-character designer. Aside from various Production I.G-produced seasons and movies, the cyberpunk thriller franchise also encompasses manga, light novels, and a visual novel.
