A short (but damn sweet) TV commercial for the long-desired anime incarnation of Mardock Scramble, adapted by studio GoHands as a theatrical film trilogy based on Tow Ubukata's sci-fi novel series. The trilogy begins with the Mardock Scramble: The First Compression movie, premiering in Japan on November 6, 2010. The original novel is about a former prostitute named Rune Balot, who dies as her body is burned by a devious gambler named Shell. However she resurrects as a powerfully advanced cyborg, and sets herself on a path for revenge. Now a cyborg, Balot has not only physical powers, but the ability to disrupt social environments. She chases after Shell, his partner-in-crime Boiled, and faces down a variety of insane villains in this pulse-pounding cyberpunk noir adventure.
