(L) Madlax

[suires]

Spoiler for EP19 & EP20 preview:

I don't like the idea that either Madlax or Margaret might disappear. They should better come up with something more creative than that.

Madlax believes that she killed her father 12 years ago. That's why she does not want to know the truth any more.

I hope next episode will have something interesting. Seems like Madlax got shot by Rimelda. I really wants to see that happen.....

[Mihura]

This is my favourite anime this year until now. I just can not wait for the next episode.
Well about Madlax

Spoiler:

Why Rimelda is tring to kill Madlax??? after all she is the one who told her the true, I think Rimelda gone crazy to.
About Madlax and Margaret, i would preferred to think that they are just connected because of the book. But they are the same person, not just because Margaret feel sometimes things that Madlax feel, but most because that episode when we see the two shadow of Poppe and if you read the lyrics of nowhere, there is a phrase where it say "You think that I am non-existent".

Carossaur said "Margaret... my kawaii angel..."

I liked that part to

Well..

Spoiler:

Rimelda most likely wants to kill Madlax because...
1. she wants to get revenge for Madlax having tricked her..
2. she feels threatened by her
3. Madlax is right -- she really is just creepy.

regardless of all this, I think that Rimelda has become really quite obsessed with Madlax. And in my twisted mind (and sometimes in BeeTrain's as well..) obsession = repressed attraction..

A bit of rambling, forgive me now and click the button:

Spoiler:

Actually, to be serious, I'm not entirely sure who would dissappear, or that there's going to be any dissappearing at all (actually, I'm not entirely sure of anything with this damn show!! ). The M-to-M connection is undeniable, though, as they've been hammering on it since episode 2 (and hinting since ep 1).

And poor Madlax is getting bombarded with "fake" this and "different" that; no wonder she's getting uncharacteristically shaken up! And no wonder she's suspecting that she's the "odd man out", so to speak.

More of my crackpot theories: Nahal is a 3rd "sister". Really, my only "evidence" is that the faces of all three are rather similar, at least compared to the rest of the characters. I noticed that early on. The skills and, uh, body-type differences (great pic, btw!) would be due to the different lives they lived; diet, exercise, upbringing, training... Three saplings raised in different soils? (okay I'll stop now... )

No, I don't seriously buy that one either, but it makes me go "hmmm". Most every clue seems to point to pairs though. Leticia and Poupee. Red moon, blue moon. The only thing is that there's 3 books. And then there's the matter of Carossaur. Ahh, my head's going to explode!

(speaking of Poupee, did you notice that he was a bit more "expressive" this time?)

Anyway, I just caught the ANBU/Lunar version too and sure enough, there were a few subtle differences that muddy the whole thing for me. Maybe I should just stop watching and wait for official licensed dubs to be released.

Yeah, right!

[dreamless]

now I think about it

Spoiler:

what is really inside the door? some melody of impulse? the collective of human instincts that's not tainted by morals? Anyone smells some Freudian stuff here? Why the collective of human instincts are represented by a loli and a shouta? Though I think according to Freud girls have instincts to kill their mothers and marry their fathers, not killing their fathers

For those that are interested, the second disc is supposed to be released on Sept 22.

Cripes, another confusing episode...

Spoiler:

...definately wasn't expected Friday to kick the bucket this soon, Carossaur and Rimelda are two very loose screws.

It's looking like the three books open the door to truth. A personal truth for each character. Madlax clearly has something she wants to forget and has been forcing herself to forget all these years. Perhaps she is a Kirika, a tweeny killer, and her first victim was her father.

Nahal is so cool. Her and Margaret will make the perfect Noir...er...I mean...

Again, more astonishing music in this Ep. The bgm to the scene where the four of them are in the jeep is just amazing.

[dreamless]

I think you mean perfect couple... umm...

Spoiler:

but I doubt Friday is dead, he's shown in the next episode preview, besides you can hear him laughing after Carossaur pulled the trigger... Also don't forget that we have already established that people possessing the power of the book can teleport

Nahal... beautiful scene, although I don't really understand how it suddenly change from night to day with her appearance... don't tell me that's also her power

LOL climate control and teleportation.

About Friday...

Spoiler:

...well someone is infront of his console in the preview.Carossaur's laugh sounds just like Friday's when he was burning his office. Plus Carossaur's got a prime opportunity to adopt his guise, take over the network and use the resources if Friday is really dead. He did seem to take a bullet to the head.

Spoiler:

indeed there is someone standing in front of that console... but at first i just thought it was a flasback or something..
Also i sorta don't think that was Friday laughing after he was shot. Carossur HAS been sporting a new evil laugh, and if i remember, Friday Monday's evil laugh was a little more... womanly..

[Secca]

Maybe the mask is evil, or the 1st book itself corrupt the owner. ^^

[Anko]

Maybe the mask is evil, or the 1st book itself corrupt the owner.

Somehow, I'd prefer the latter one...

[sparrow]

imagine the scene if Carossaur came wearing the mask, dressing like Friday, and laughing like him also.
then in tsukkomi style the girl just say it doesn't fit him at all (plus all heart-stabbing remarks)

*bangs head*
when you say the mask, how about the "I'm your father" joke ?

Lol that was exactly what I tought about that preview, maybe that's Carosaur dressed like Friday. ^^

[GokuJunior]

I'm really excited about what will be the end of this Anime...
It's just all so confuse...
I think that Madlax has the best OST I've ever heard!
The next episode sure will be something...

Spoiler:

with Madlax getting shotted and "someone" in front of Friday's controls...
and that's not all of it... you can see Margaret and Madlax crying...I wonder why

So far so good...
Madlax is getting in the way of my number 1 anime and that is really an historic fact...
I can't just wait for the next episode or I will explode...

Spoiler:

I just remembered...
Now we know why Poupee had 2 shadows...
It's because of the 2 moons, the blue moon and the red moon!

maybe they should have a scene where all the chicks have hot spring bath and have a catfight in there, wearing towels.

LOL

Hehe


I was thinking mud wrestling between Madlax and Rimelda but that is too American.

LOL

[sparrow]

if they can afford a filler episode, why not put an onsen episode. but, hasn't this been replaced with the swimsuit episode ?
