Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust

"Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust" (2012) — watch online on iFILM — the closing chapter of the Japanese anime trilogy based on Tow Ubukata's cyberpunk novel.

Rune Balot, a girl rebuilt as a cyborg after a near-fatal attack, walks into an October Corporation casino for a final reckoning: retrieve criminal boss Shell's memories locked inside his gold chips. Standing between her and the truth are expert dealers and a figure named Dimsdale with scores of his own to settle. Director Susumu Kudo ends the trilogy without sentiment — no clean resolution, just an earned conclusion for those who followed from the first film. Megumi Hayashibara voices Rune throughout, keeping her brittle and determined in equal measure. Stream "Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust" (2012) online on iFILM.
