Oh boy...I totally forgot about this garbage. I binged-watched all 3 movies after they got released back then since each movie is connected to the other and ends with huge cliffhangers anyway. So everything you say about one movie also applies to the other movies because you only get the full picture if you watch all three of them. Problem with that full picture is: there is none.
Why is that? Well, Mardock Scramble is a true Tow Ubukata Creation, and it shows..in every god forsaken movie of this trilogy..IT SHOWS!
Tow Ubukata does what he does best: putting random, incoherent and incomprehensible scenes one after another and ACT like he did the deepest screenplay ever, while in reality he did nothing but putting hot trash together.
If you watched the second season of Psycho Pass or the Arise-Series of Ghost In The Shell, both for which Ubukata wrote the screenplay, then you know exactly what to expect from Mardock Scramble: random stupid shit that doesn't make no sense whatsoever and character-exploration/development retarded as it gets. Plus uninspired and boring scenrey.
Mardock Scramble is yet another example of what a non-talented and horrendous writer Ubukata is.
