Rune Balot is a down-and-out teen prostitute in Mardock City. One day, she's picked up by an ambitious casino manager named Shell who gives her everything she could want. Renewed by a false innocence, a false past, and now the false life Shell has given her, Balot feels grateful. However, she can't help but be curious about why he's done so much for her, so she does some research about his past on a computer. This turns out to be a mistake which will change her life greatly. When Shell finds out what she's done, he attempts to burn her to death by blowing up her car. Due to the high crime rate in Mardock, a new law called "Scramble 09" has given police carte blanche to take extreme and otherwise illegal measures to revive crime witnesses. With this in mind, they allow a professor to bring Balot back from the brink of death by reassembling her entire body with reinforced synthetic fiber. When she finally wakes up, her confused mental state eventually turns toward revenge as Shell is revealed as her killer. (Source: Nippon Cinema)

helmyherlambang★★★☆☆EP 1Sangat slow-burn dan terlalu dibikin kompleks ceritanya, padahal bisa banget dibuat lebih simpel lagi. Untungnya cukup terbayarkan di third act yang bisa dibilang lumayan satisfying to watch. Terus cliffhanger-nya ngegantung banget, tapi understandable since this is a 3 part movie, and it actually make me interested to watch the other 2 movies. So I guess I'm gonna give this one a 7/10
minus_★★★★☆AnimeEsta película tiene un ambiente cyberpunk bastante bien elaborado y la introducción ligera de temas como la identidad y la existencia. Su ritmo es adecuado, mezclando partes rápidas con partes lentas de manera inteligente. La acción no es mucha, pero cuando la hay, se siente de verdad.
xjavez_x★★★★★AnimeVery good movie for cyberpunk lovers (like me). The dense and raw atmosphere reminds me a lot of Ghost in the Shell, mixing existential themes and intense action. Although its explicit scenes are quite strong, they fit perfectly with the dark narrative.
kenjiro1118★★★★☆AnimeThe visuals, sound effects, and animation style is very good. However, the phase of the story is a bit slow.
