I discovered this animated image: http://gfycat.com/SoftDesertedAyeaye

What anime is this from? In an attempt to avoid including animated images, here is a still-shot from it.

Still shot

In the animation, the character runs from 2 guys, but gets cornered. At this time, the hand appears to act on it's own, transforming into tools to subdue the pursuers.

I've tried Google's search by image tool, but no help. I'm also not sure what "Soft Deserted Ayeaye" would mean, but searching it brings up some creepy animal pictures.

  • The gfycat Google search result mentions Mardock, presumably as in Mardock Scramble. That may be it, or a comment or something – Toshinou Kyouko May 15 '14 at 16:30
  • @ToshinouKyouko I think you might be correct. [This image](http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/mardock.jpg) has a similar looking character. – David Starkey May 15 '14 at 16:32

    FYI, the gfycat URLs like "SoftDesertedAyeaye" are randomly generated sequences of words and have nothing to do with the image itself. – senshin May 16 '14 at 01:50
  • I don't understand how people have so much trouble with this stuff. Reverse image search of the image **you** provided immediately returns several mentions of a movie Mardock Scramble. Following up a google of **Mardock Scramble** leads to info about the anime, and pictures of the character... – Doc May 22 '14 at 18:33
  • @Doc I tried that feature and even mentioned that in my question. I make no claim to understand how it works, but when I asked this question I did not get any helpful results using reverse image search. – David Starkey May 22 '14 at 18:53
  • [Reverse Image Search](http://www.google.com/insidesearch/features/images/searchbyimage.html). If you're using chrome, right click the image above and select "Search google for this image". If you do so, the first several results will be in foreign languages, but will mention "Mardock Scramble" "Movie" "2011". One of them names the full title: "Mardock Scramble The First Compression". From there, just refine your search with that name. – Doc May 22 '14 at 19:01
  • Also, as a point, from the .gif you linked, if you hover your mouse over the gif, you'll see below it "Reddit comments: /r/animegifs". Click the link and the thread it links to is a recommendation to watch the anime >_> – Doc May 22 '14 at 19:03

As our discussion in the comments suggest, the anime you are looking for is Mardock Scramble

enter image description here

The story is about a girl named Rune Ballot who was taken in by a man named Shell who later tried to kill her and left her for dead. She is saved and turned into a cyborg. It is up to her to stop Shell and his evil gang.
