Oh, hi, I didn’t see you there.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am the lead writer of the popular Japanese animation known as “Psycho-Pass.” It’s a pretty good show, huh? Anyway, I just thought I should take some time to let you know that the ideas presented in the anime are not completely original. Shocking, I know, but even my brilliance has limits, so I do occasionally read what other writers do and take inspiration from that.

For example, have you ever heard of a little movie called Blade Runner? It’s based off a story by a man named Philip K. Dick. It’s fairly obscure, so you’ve probably never heard of it; but trust me, it’s good.

Actually, you know what? I liked it so much that I think as many people as possible should be made aware of its existence. So I’ll go ahead and write my recommendation into an episode of my anime. Smart idea, right? Yeah, I know. That’s why I get to work on awesome projects like this instead of settling for the latest 4-koma adaptation.
