We Love Anime: Mardock Scramble Parts 1 & 2

Japan 2011, 100 mins

Synopsis

"Why me?" - It was the last thought that a young prostitute, Balot, would ever have... as a human, anyway. Taken in by a devious gambler named Shell, she became a slave to his cruel desires and would have been killed by his hand if not for a private investigator and his self-aware Universal Tool, Oefcoque.

Now a cyborg, Balot has not only physical powers but also the ability to disrupt digital environments. She chases after Shell and his partner-in-crime Boiled, and faces down a variety of insane villains in this pulse-pounding cyberpunk noir adventure.

2nd Combustion comes fresh from its European premiere for exclusive general release in our cinemas.

This film is in Japanese with English subtitles.
