Jinrui is a dark satirical comedy that is designed to poke fun at all sorts of pop culture elements in Japan.

That's rather different from a serious cyberpunk story like Psycho-Pass that's not first and foremost about comically poking fun at things.

Honestly, your argument is like saying "Because a Hollywood comedy movie of the "Scary Movie" sort pokes fun at Element A of American culture (along with Elements B through T), it doesn't count when a serious sci-fi movie subverts Element A of American culture".

That seems like a very silly argument to me.


And just why are you so sure that there were others before Jinrui?
