| I liked the casino parts because I understand a bit about how gambling works. Now both sides were cheating to the extreme but that was beside the point of the story with them. But that said animation was absolutely beautiful, but the plot was lacking and the end was predictable. But even with the end, I kept asking what was the point of the movies in general. What was the point of the story in this crazy cyberpunk world that we got no explanation about. We needed some more exposition on this world in general I felt. I give the movie and the series in general a 5/10. 5 for beautiful and detailed art, 0 for the convoluted plot and the unexplained world surrounding it. |

| A good ending, maybe I would have preferred that eventually show the new life of Balot, but it did not happen, this is my only regret. Trilogy a little too undervalued, I think it deserves a little more than it has had, even the deserved graphic quality of a quality higher than it had, especially in the CG. My vote is 8/10. |
 |
| Finally over!!!! The casino bored the shit outta me, the cool characters Bell Wing and the Boss Dealer stood out more than Balot. The 1st movie intrigued me but the 2nd and 3rd were meh. |
| The first half involving the Casino Manager and Bell Wing was very well done. Those two characters really brought some well needed humanity into the story, beyond all the usual sci-fi/meta dramatics. All in all an okay series. |

| That was a good watch. Cyberpunk at its best. Dark themes, and lots of fcked up stuff in the 3 movies. |
| Not great, not terrible. But overall exciting and a nice piece of cyberpunk. Easiest 7 I have ever given. I think GoHands really carried this with their great artstyle. It felt like a classic 90s anime and looked the part too. The casino part felt like it made up half the screentime of 2 of the 3 movies. I appreciate anime trying to make classic casino gambling look like the most exciting thing in the world, especially when its in such a "comedic" setting. I mean this is cyberpunk, they have transforming mice, artificial gravity etc but still play with cards? A lot of themes get "scrambled" here but by the end I still wished there was more to it. It felt like the starting arc to something greater. Maybe that sequel the author is writing will be animated one day as well. |

| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| An interesting high stakes blackjack game here. Even though I don't care for card games, the passion it was presented with made it oddly enthralling. There were parallels drawn between Harvest and Rune's pasts when they were chatting, but the strategies employed during the game itself also dove through their respective mentalities, even showing Rune to be more confident in making decisions without wearing the Oeufcoque gloves. Shell should've died. I fail to see the reason for leaving him alive, or why anyone should care about restoring his memories, since he was a terrible person to begin with. Rune goes on to kill Boiled right after this, despite reaffirming herself that no one would die beforehand. Even if Rune didn't make a priority of revenge at this point, keeping someone like that off the streets forever is the easiest way to "close the case", lest Shell reopens said case for another unfortunate victim when the urge strikes him. Pretty good movie with thoughtful discourse and an average plot. |
