Mixed feelings about this one. Music was good. I especially liked the BG music after she parachuted and the ED song by Fictionjunction. Didnt like how she felt the need to change clothes and shoot with her eyes closed. So far lots of style over substance. I hope there is a decent story somewhere.

Madlax seems to be able to "sense" the trajectory of bullets without using her eyes, or at least that's the feeling I get. The OP seems to imply some sort of superhuman ability to "connect" with the bullets as well.
Oh, and someone somewhere (not in these forums) was complaining about her wearing first hot pants, and then an evening gown. Well, I for one am not complaining. She wears them because SHE CAN! |

Yea I also want to know about Madlax's abilities. I totally loved this episode. Compared to the ugly and beautiful world and phantom, this anime kicks butt, at least in my opinion it does. I see enormous potential for this anime. I do hope that the action scenes improve a little bit though.

The part with her changing clothes was ridiculous of course, but the gown looked damn good at her
And how she killed those guys without even looking looked nice too, but on the other hand rather absurd again. But I guess thats the trend: Style > Logic. I won't complain^^ Spoiler:

I have to say that IMO Mashimo Koichi is definitely going downhill in his recent animes, from Noir to .hack to Avenger to Madlax...
okay so far it's too early to judge Madlax, but it seems he focuses more and more on some very absurd and fake-looking "cool" poses. The OP is quite lame, with two girls slowly posing in... laser traces of bullets? it doesn't give me the "feel" of the OPs of Noir, .hack and Avenger. I always feel excited when watching the OPs of Mashimo Koichi's previous works, but now I have an urge to skip the OP. And the actions look more and more fake, in Noir they were cool, the characters don't do any unnecessary poses and they have a sense of "fighting", but now in Madlax it seems the girl is not "fighting" but just doing a show, with all those lame poses. I love the coolness of Noir's action scenes, however now in Madlax it just focuses too much on the coolness that it's just too obviously fake. Overall I think this first episode of Madlax is even worse than Avenger's first episode. Also why there are no blood? At least in Avenger the absence of blood could be explained, but now here we are on Earth shooting real human beings and no blood? |
