(L) Madlax

[stormy001_M1A2]

Well even animators need break you know, so be patient.

[Shigan]

Why is the next episode postponed? o_o

Woa wait, are we sure that is Margareth's father? I know they are both crying out "father" to him or *someone* but IMO, it sure looked like Madlax saved little Margareth from being molested O_o;;;. Even stranger is that, just after the flashback, in present time, we see Margareth reflecting on the memory with "At that time, I thought 'he should just die.". Sounds rather coldhearted for cute little six years old Margareth to think so of her father.

EDIT: The flashback really makes no sense, I went back and rewatched it. Madlax is the one who was screaming "stop it!" (I differ Margareth and Madlax here through their way to adress their father (?), Margareth uses Otou-sama, while Madlax uses the more common Otou-san), even so, the one the man was pointing *his* gun at was Margareth.

The whole thing goes like this:

Margareth: Otou-sama!!! (genki genki voice)

Madlax: Otou-san! (more insisting tune)

Margareth: I wanted to see you, otou-sama!

*Richard/whoever points gun at Margareth*

Madlax: Stop it! Why are you doing this?!

Margareth: Pick me up! (still very genki, despite having a gun pointing at her O_o)

Madlax: Get away from me!

Margareth/Madlax: Otou-sama!/Otou-san!

*Gun goes off*

Richard falls with face towards Margareth, Madlax being the one who fired the shot.

Kinda reversed given how the lines went. What did Madlax want the man to stop while he wasn't turned towards her? And why did Margareth think that he should 'just die'?

AAAAAARGH T_T I dont get it....

Err, summer holiday? The anime studio workers is also human you know, they did not do anime 24/7.

They need break too.

[Sonhex]

The whole 26 episodes were probably completed months ago. This postponement is mostly likely to do with scheduling than 'giving the animators' a break...

Either way it's bad news, first FMA gets delayed now this...

[guest]

I am hoping that it’s just the case for one TV station, not for others. So we might still get to see next ep next week. Keep my finger crossed.

if the series go longet, she'll have a harem to fight with her, or obsessed for her

*erasing the word "want to kill" on the line from Nahal to Madlax and change it to "want to protect"

Spoiler:

Btw, I was too focused on the “main” plot. On the side plot, Rimelda really needs to see a psychiatrist. This “I want to kill you because I like you” is just twisted. She might kill Vanessa soon because she is in the way. When she liked Carossour, I didn’t see her being that .....possessive/obsessed. Weird. Now Nahal, too? She is falling for Madlax!!?? This is going to be chaotic. Who else (females) in the series isn’t in love with Madlax….yet??

[USCPharmacist]

Madlax the chick magnet eheheheh, that's interesting. No wonder they said she is "different"......

Anyway I think Eleonor (sp?) is not in love with madlax, cuz she is in love with margeret (kinda like how setsuna is to kanoka). So unless Madlax get margeret to fall for her, I guess it's hard for Madlax to score with all the girls like those dating sim or "love hina" lol.

On a side note, we know for a fact that bee train women can heal bullet wound on their own with a few pills of aspirin, so there is no need to worry about Madlax. Besides hero always has scrap wound anyway.

So errr, are the Noirs taking a vocation or something? come on, go destroy Enfan already. Don't let Altana sacrifies (namely mofo's in black) go in vain!! You 2 dofus are suppose to save innocent everywhere man, after you beat up Soldats you let some masked foo started up enfan to replace the Soldats? wth? Go lay the smack down, and show us once and for all that the power of Noir is stronger than any woman of the Books!!.......hey who the hell spicing my tyleno with estasy, bastard

Spoiler:

I can think of one who is not in love with Madlax....
Eleanor is totally in love with Margaret.......

By the way, if I read the line correctly, Madlax will not be aired next week but we might have one hour special on Aug. 30. (I am not positive because my Japanese reading skill is much worse than my listening.)

The announcement is on Madlax web-page:

That's the case for TV Tokyo. How about that TV station in Osaka (TV Osaka?)?
It seems that they are going to move the schedule from 9/14 to 9/16 but that is not going to affect whatever is on next week, right?

Eleanor.
She's forever loyal to (in love with..?) Margaret.

"I can become invincible for Ms. Margaret."

Aww.. ^^

Whichever it is, be patient. I am sure 2 weeks is fast, you know, you can have a life......go out and sniff the fresh air or something....

[dreamless]

lol Nahal X Madlax that would be very interesting

I have a bad feeling from the preview

Spoiler:

that Carossaur won't last long... a pity

for this episode

Spoiler:

anyone understand what's the significance of that peasant kid peeking at Carossaur and Margaret?

Hmm... Margaret's father having an affair with Madlax's mother? I'm not sure, I just think Madlax somehow shot Margaret's father... for whatever reason...

Spoiler:

But Madlax says she sees her father walk way in her memories, but the person is Margarets father, maybe Madlax was adopted by the Burton family. And thats the reason why she say's san and not sama.

[Shigan]

Oh wow, I do think an adopted child has even more the reason to keep tight on the honor suffixes.

[GokuJunior]

I really love this anime...
Is my number 1...it's awesome
I just want to know...

Spoiler:

-What happened 12 years ago?
-Why were the 3 books splitted around the world?
-What happened to Fliday 12 years ago because he doesn't have what he want...
- what....

I guess the first question was enough...

[Fellini 8.5]

I... I... I.....

I'm trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. I'm speechless. This show has me totally enthralled!

I'm going to have to give it another watching (downloading the Ayu version now) before I can even start to speculate on what happened and what's about to happen next.

And if there's going to be TWO FORESAKEN WEEKS WITHOUT... !!?! *gasp*

Spoiler:

if my memory is not wrong, she peeked Madlax and the biblio-detective when both came to the village before. maybe someone's spy ? Enfant ? <--- read it wrong and it became "Infant" ^^;

Hey that's a good possibility,

Spoiler for ep 20:

I was wondering how did Friday Monday found out about Margaret, I'm sure Carrosaur wouldn't be so careless to reveal any information about Margaret.

[knightsabers]

Spoiler:

Friday Monday kind of looks like an older version of Carrosaur. Maybe they're twins, or same person?

[Ialdaboth]

I've just seen ep 20, and there is a theory that have bothered me for quite some time now :

Spoiler:

The world is false, or more exactly computer-generated (Matrix ?). Madlax and Margaret are the same person, suffering from multiple-personnality disorder after having killed her own father (by mistake ?). Living in a virtual world allow those two personnalities to have their own separate incarnation, with their own incompatible goals : finding about her father for Madlax, and living a normal life for Margaret.

Sorry if it has already been talked about, or if it's really dumb, but it really bother me and i would like to know what fans of Madlax think about that ?
