Well, just for the record, I've actually seen the anime....And, btw, the same guy who wrote Bakuman and the first 25 episodes of Death Note wrote the last 12 episodes of Death Note....
Good point =)

And, well, I'd say that character development is not exactly the strongest point of Psycho-Pass, but, my favourite character would be Makishima Shogo, and to some extent, Shinya Kogami......
As far as his 'motive' is concerned, uh, I would say he did feel out of place.....He felt that he was living in a dystopian world, with a system deciding everything for humans, and that they had no will.....He wanted to change that.....And, maybe, his lack of humanism made him kill people in those fashions.....
I thought you would pick Shogo or Kogami, they obviously stand out. I liked Masaoka, Akane and Kogami, though it took me a while to see Kogami as a character he is. Didn't like Makishima at all when I was watching the show; but that said, I wouldn't want to change anything in him cause together with everything else his character plays out perfectly. I really like how they made the ending, those few last minutes that we see of Makishima changed my perception of him.
I kinda see Makishima as this guy with romantic nature who have read too many books and learned to admire the old world, the world before Sybil. And as he had great power he devoted himself to bringing up the human nature as he saw it. He is like a Don Quixote of his age, I guess. It was not the impression I had while watching anime, but I got it after I thought about it for a while.
