Mardock Scramble
Neostorm-X said: did this come first or was the movie directed first then wrote this after???? also is this a full story vs the movie? Mardock Scramble is originally a Novel , but it's not in the database of MAL. Then the Manga started , and the Movies were made when it was still running. Both the Movies and the Manga adapt all the Novel , but the Manga also adapted a side-story. Overall , the Manga is considered as a slightly better adaptation , but the Artstyle is not as good as the Movies. |

Neostorm-X said: slightly better adaptation as in more faithfull? or as in better execution? do the movies cut a lot out? I didn't read the Novels , so i don't know who's the more faithfull. Overall , the Manga is lighter in tone than the Movies. (Which isn't really a good thing , in my opinion) Movie 3 came back and forth in the timeline , while the Manga was straightforward. The final fight felt quite rushed in the Movie , but he's more stretched in the Manga. The epilogue is more conclusive in the Manga , while the Movie feels more open-ending about the futur of the main character. Just for the tone , i would personally recommend the Movies instead of the Manga , but i didn't liked the Movies anyway. |

Neostorm-X said: reason you disliked the movie? Everything seems superficial. (The past of the protagonist , the non-motivation of the antagonist , the whole Scramble system...) Especially the prostitute past of Balot , it's mentionned in almost all dialogues , and it's here just for the sake of it... Honestly , while i was watching , i couldn't help but think that it was a lot like Gunnm , but with a boring vibe. |

| I feel like the movies are waaay too rushed. Nothing makes sense if you don't know the original story. It looks gorgeous yeah, but nah. Ooima did a way better job with the manga i'd say, the pacing is perfect, the art evolves constantly and the whole thing is brutal, depressing and sick as fuck. :3 |
