Mardock Scramble: The First Compression Ratings & Reviews

  • Timeless CinemaJanuary 19, 2026
    It's beautifully animated, with rich colors and well-executed character designs. The narrative and story is underwhelming though. Making this a decent watch for animation fans, but will be struggle to non-animation folks.
