So... recently i been watching Machine-Doll Wa Kizutsukanai and i got kinda confused about this anime becasue it seens that already start with some of the storyline ahead.
Like, it does not have a proper "beginning" of the story. It just randomly shows up the guy and the girl in the train. so.. idk if im missing something behind, i cant find to much information about this anime also either :/
c-can anyone help me about this?
Am i missing something?

You're not missing anything. Things will be explained later on.

No, the main character is just doing the "I'm a mysterious badass" thing, and only tells his story in flashbacks.
Since he himself doesn't know some crucial facts of his backstory, even if he told it all, it wouldn't be very useful.

Like people said, no, you're not missing anything at all. That connection can be connected later on in the series. The first part in the train will be told in volume 0 of the light novel but you can also watch a small part of it in the first OVA titled; “~And the Two of Them Head to School~”. It was taken from the epilogue of volume 0 only. It is when they were in London before boarding a train to Liverpool. The story of Volume 0 is when Raishin and Yaya was still on Japan before coming to England.

I'm not sure if you're joking but that flashes of flashbacks are when he remembers what happened due to a trigger. The author intended it that way because his past is connected to what's happening in the current story and the mystery of his past will be zero.

I am serious, but I may be being too much Doylist without making it clear.
Yes, the author tells the flashbacks as they become relevant, and it's a good technique for exposition.
What I meant to highlight is that it makes the MC fit the "mysterious badass" archetype, and that from the MC's flashbacks we know - he doesn't know why his brother did what he did. Which seems to be a crucial piece of the puzzle.
