FUNimation is bringing out the casting announcements for the anticipated release of Psych0-Pass by doing an announcement a day. Today they’ve announced the actor for the character of Akane Tsunemori, who will be played by Kate Oxley. Seidel has a few roles previously including Misaki in Darker Than Black, Misha in A Certain Magical Index, and Makie in Negima!?.
Plot concept: Get ready for Psycho-Pass, a hardboiled, gun-slinging sci-fi series from the creator of Madoka Magica and the studio that brought you Ghost in the Shell. In the future, even just thinking about a crime is enough to make you guilty – and justice is dispensed from the barrel of a gun. Detectives work in teams made up of Enforcers and Inspectors. Enforcers take out the bad guys, and Inspectors make sure their partners don’t cross the fine line between good and evil. The great equalizer in the war against thugs is the Dominator, a futuristic weapon that can read minds and assess the probability that a citizen will turn criminal. There are no trials. Only Enforcers, Inspectors, and the Dominator. Commit a crime in your mind – and the Dominator will make sure you pay the ultimate price.
