The Japanese anime:

《マルドゥック・スクランブル》

(The Girl in the Shell)

Anthology / compression

I was very surprised and excited when the first time I watched the anime  the girl in the shell. It almost satisfied all my fantasies about the future city. It consists of three parts: "Compression", "Combustion" and "Exhaust". The setting of his characters, the clues of the story, and the arrangement of the plot have made me more and more interested in the concept of cyberpunk.


Appearing at the beginning of the anime is Cyberpunk's future city. The image of this future city has been deeply embedded in my mind. So when I create the future city with the 2000 word fiction I wrote, I will refer to some images from this anime.


The various life forms that appear in this anime even dazzled me, and it's not just the AI ​​and robots we can think of. For example, in this anime, the concept of "cosmic props" is mentioned. In the anime, it is called OEuFcoque. It was born in a "paradise" . In fact, it should be an extremely high artificial life. Normally, the image is a golden-yellow mouse, which can be changed into various types, such as car navigation systems, night vision goggles, mice, guns, etc., and also serves as the heroine‘s "translator" artificially.There are so many wonderful life forms that can't be talked about.


This developed my imagination to a great extent, and it was very helpful for me to create images of science fiction.
