Mardock Scramble (Movies)

[Yukimura]

Movie two didn't have the same awesome action packed finale as one but I felt it still did a good job at the philosophical or existential or whatever stuff. Paradise was an interesting, if rather abstract place, and Balot's development with Oeufcoque and the other test subjects was nice. Something about the roulette scene really appealed to me despite it still not making complete sense even after two viewings. However one thing that a friend noted when I showed him 1 and 2 back to back is how does Boiled seem to get away with so much criminal activity throughout the show with no one ever seemingly coming down on him. It was one thing when he was hiring assassins and threatening/actually attacking a witness, who could place him at the scene of her attempted murder with her attempted murderer but now we find out he is known to have gone on a killing spree in the past an is just walking the streets like it was nothing.

Anyway, much love to Balot's casino outfit especially with the Oeufcoque gloves to really make it pop. It sucks we'll have to wait another year plus for the final installment.
