| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Got a chance to see this at the Leeds Festival, it was an interesting movie with a nice setting and idea. It felt a lot like Ghost in the Shell in some places, but ultimately the plot was not very strong, it was very short and the ending left off at a pretty bad cliffhanger. Will need to see more of the movies to make a better judgement. |
 |
| Can't seem to find this anywhere, much less a fansub group planning to release it. I've been seeing japanese commercials for it lately so maybe it'll get picked up. Series looks interesting so I'll probably at least watch the first movie. |
| Anybody knows if this is subbed already? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| So far no news, and I haven't found the RAWs too, so it might take a while for it to get sub, might have to wait for BDs or DVDs. |
| Check out my channel! Erzat |
| The BD/DVD are coming on Aug 24th, 2011. Via: Mardock Scramble Official Webside |
| Damn, at least it should be coming out soon.... |
 |
| I wonder who will sub this |

| I can't wait to watch this. |
| noooo!! what a cliff-hanger ending!!!! nice plot and action, has many nude scene, but not erotic 5/5 10/10 cant wait for the next |

| It was a good, character driven movie with nice visuals, great VA and some really messed up characters. But that cliffhanger ending was too cruel! |
 |
| i enjoyed it alot yes indeed them characters were messed up(to many boobies on that one guy...i really hope that mouse doesn't die i really liked him |
 |
| I did not have time to do much except this ecchi (NSFW) in the spoiler Story is deep shit that is mature and lovely enough. Rings a little with Armitage TBH. |
| I hope that the next one doesn't take so damn long to get released and subbed. Nothing else to say except that I fucking loved this. |
 |
| just watched it and I must say im quite pleased with this movie, it follows the novel close enough which is always a good thing :D and seeing the characters in animation was just cool! :P |
| Setting and atmosphere were godly. It felt almost like watching early '90s cyberpunk classics. Oh, how nostalgic. 8.5/10 |

| thats awesome and what a facking cliffhanger lol i wonder how will Balot turn out to be will she be a heartless killer or will she be a hero of justice but either way i do not want to see her die as she suffered a lot already she deserves some joy in this life |
| Yeah this is worse than Kite, I mean she was 12 and it's her dad. Technically a nice film, good OST (apart from Amazing Grace at the end) and neat visuals, the fights were particularly well done. |
fuck everything and rumble |
psorcerer said: AH YES! That I agree with. They did but what I find in this better is that of the sci-fi. Makes it a lot better than Kite TBH.Yumekichi11 said: I mean that the makers did a lot of Kite homage in this one. Some stills directly reference the classic.psorcerer said: I remind myself that Kite was not as bad as that. The rape in this one is far more serious in situation than the one in Kite TBH.It's Kite, although it has less hentai scenes and a talking mouse. Good movie. |
| It's a nice movie and the animation is pretty good as well although they contain some nudity,violence and disturbing image(which I don't like) !! So i'll give it 8/10 |
 |
| Plot taken from campy 80/90's anime with sex and nudity included. Apart from good visuals there's almost nothing out there... 6/10 |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| golden mouse was awesome |
| Great movie . Gives me the Ghost in the Shell feeling . I like how Balut and Oeufcoque relationship grows with time in the movie. But damn ending it like this, i can't wait for the next movie . 8/10 |
 |
| Yeah, that was a hell of a cliffhanger. Also seemed short for a movie, more like a full-length OVA (a la Hellsing Ultimate), tho the animation was definitely movie-quality. The golden mouse was cute, and the heroine pretty likeable (even when she snapped and shot the hell out of Pussy-hand). The mouse reminded me of Soul Eater, except with the ability to turn into anything instead of just a weapon form. As someone who looks at a lot of freaky hentai, the themes didn't really disturb me too much. None of it was anything I hadn't seen before, either in Cool Devices or in various doujins. Well, except for the body modification guys. That was creepy as shit, especially the guy with the hundred breasts. The buff dude reminded me of Naruto, with the eyes all over his body (tho not Sharingans, if they were teen-prostitute-turned-badass-girl wouldn't have stood a chance). |
| "PUSSY HAND" lol...that is a clever..very clever *applause*.. wow in the future you cant transplant a pussy in your hand...masturbation will feel so real.. his hand wont get pregnant right? i admit that the rape/sex scene gave me a boner.. |
| I didn't like this movie at all... It was like Ghost in the Shell, with the feel of Time of Eve. |
| Well, it was unexpected..... The quality of the animation was incredible, loved the look of the city. One definitely gets some serious GitS and Kite vibes, but it still manages to be its own movie. I thought the trial was really well done. The action was alright, but yeah, I couldn't help but lol at any villian that wasn't Boiled (and who didn't get a Batou vibe from him and his glasses in the beginning). Worth watching, but really hard to take seriously. |

GuroFX said: Setting and atmosphere were godly. It felt almost like watching early '90s cyberpunk classics. Oh, how nostalgic. 8.5/10 This. Plus Ubukata's script is as sick and messed up as usual but ultimately much better than I expected. Terrific animation, direction and main character too. The movie feels like what Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita in the US) could be if animated properly. 9/10 |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

GuroFX said: Setting and atmosphere were godly. It felt almost like watching early '90s cyberpunk classics. Oh, how nostalgic. 8.5/10 Yeah exactly, i found it very well made. Character building was also excellently made, this movie impress me. I don't know what the op was even watching when he said the plot was not very strong. The plot is good and well made actually, i see no problem with it at all. The op probably didn't realize much of the things he was watching. The artwork was absolutely amazing too. The style and the quality where a joy to my eyes. I don't know what people say but i prefer this kind of movie ten thousands times more than a movie like Redline that is nothing but a hand-drawn tech demo. Maybe not every scene had the movement of that one but the style the story the atmosphere everything where high above.And in reality the animation and technical department was perfect for the needs of story, no need to try anything more. I am glad i saw a movie and i actually got what i hoped to get. It rarely happens that my expectation get fulfilled when i watch one. Can't wait for the next one and i hope that it will not lose anything in the next movies. 9/10 and hopefully it will get even better in the next movies. |

LilKis1986 said: I gotta buy this. I love Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and this looks like it could be better than that. I already have it in my box on amazon.com so I will be purchasing it soon. Sad to hear that it's censorded with the american release.... It's certainly as good. It's like a mix of the original GitS and Kite except even better. It's rare to see quality adult anime like this anymore and it really gave off that vibe of watching GitS, Akira, etc back in the 90's. |
| 6\10 Flat characters and oh-sooo-deep story ("people are bad, evil creatures" and "who am I"). When this two flaws meet up, little can be done, like good animation quality. |
| Uber show, 9/10. A second watch made more sense. Stopped halfway the first time through, and the plot is indeed deep. Definitely need to watch the second to understand better. |
| this shit was awesome, parts 2 and 3 aren't being available fast enough. kinda reminds of kite mixed with GITS |
 |
| interesting...transplants are wierd...the mouse D: |
 |
| Boy what was i thinking not watching this for so longest. I absolutely loved this movie. Story was great, a prostitute with a fucked up family or lack of it due to a f'd up father. I like the whole "i don't want to die" bid she went threw in the car, usually its the other way around in those situations in animes. I thought she(Rune) was pretty damn cool as the lead. Her interactions with Oeufcoque was great too. Just overall an excellent movie. 10/10 |
 |
| I'm glad they did a cyperpunk movie, great visuals, overall great movie. I'm looking forward for the sequels. |
| This was made very nice. The gold Mouse, girl, opponents and the setting for adult viewers. |
| Animation was very good during the action. I regret watching this. I should have waited for all 3 movies to come out and did a marathon instead. Such a cliffhanger ending. I liked this movie, though. Even with the excess rape and nudity. |
 |
| Wow, this was quite the amazing watch; why did I ever postpone watching this? The characters were quite wacky, but I loved the relationship that Balot and the mouse had. The ending totally killed me, but Amazing Grace was quite beautiful. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| nice visuals, found most of the characters repulsive (Pussyhand, erk), and developed a particular dislike for Balot after watching the ending. will continue to watch the following movies only because of Oeufcoque and a need for closure. |
HawthorneKitty said: The ending totally killed me, but Amazing Grace was quite beautiful. For me the ending was quite beautiful but Amazing Grace killed it for me! |
 |
| I came in here expecting a dark, mature, provocative story of some kind. And, well, what I ended up with was a cute, whiny little bitch and a talking mouse on the side. Sorely disappointed. Loved the art though with its dark colors. |
| Solid film. What made it were Balot and Oeufcoque's interactions. I actually don't know why there's so much cynicism coming from some of the people who watched this given how it actually had a pretty solid story. Yeah sure, not a masterpiece by any means, but it was actually decent for what it was. I actually like the fact that it tries to deal with the issues surrounding sexual exploitation rather than simply using it as a prop for the backstory. Can't wait for the next one. 8/10 |
