    RE: Madlax - New Series

    I think this is an anime for the philosophical people. I mean Noir, .Hack and maybe Avenger (gave up watching because I couldn't stand it) had some views on the dark side of human nature. That little girl in the scene with the fallen buildings and the boy in the woods (first ep at the beginning) is probably going to give us a theme or message throughout the anime. Right now I don't feel like thinking so I'm just watching this because Madlax's fighting theme is just damn cool. Need some more kick ass anime (Go Tenjo Tenge!!)

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    I liked Noir, I tried to like .Hack (but after like 16 episodes i gave up)... I've only seen the first episode of madlax... it was ok, until she put on a fucking dress(!). What in the fuck was that about? I've downloaded the second and third episode, giving it two more chances... The pasta thing was amusing the first time, the second time felt like it was being forced. Anyway... I'll "report in" after checking out the other eps

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    I agree that .hack had some philosophical issues, even though i didn't get any of them...
    Noir (i'm only at ep 15) doesn't seem to be too intellegent, just two girls going around and acting as if someone cares...

    Avenger, however, is a completly shitty anime.
    the plot is about the same as a fairy tale, good guy (girl, laila ashely) go and wacks bad guy (volk). Avenger had zero plot twists (espically the last one, i mean, at least when goku turned super sayian it was cool...) and even the serious plot lines (nei, the human\doll boy\girl) turned out to be shit. and let's not talk about the charecters; a table map had more perssonallity than them, and dogs have a better bank of sentences (the "kill me if you can" line gets old after you see it 5 times in a damn episode!).

    Avenger is one of the few animes i can proudly, without any shadow of a doubt, say that they are pure shit... I hold some respect to Lain and Hack sign, but Avenger is at the same level of firestorm and kidou shinsengumi for me, which is way below DBZ and Guardian hearts...

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    Guardian Hearts... if I'm not mistaken, thats the one with the 4 umm.... damn forgot what they were called (the Northern Crimson Phoenix Suzaku, Western White Tiger Genbu, Eastern Azure Dragon Seiryu, and Southern Black Turtle Byakko thingy in China, [yea I probably mixed up a lot of those]). But If that was guardian Hearts, I hated it after the first 3 eps because the animation is so crappy... and it's kind of a made for girls anime seeing that they are all guys and they act kinda gay. Don't get me wrong though, I watched chick animes too like Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and Fushigi Yuugi, but Guardian Hearts was.... lame. And DBZ would be so much better if they didn't use the same scenes over and over again... DBZ also needs a sense of fashion as well... (i mean the fighting gear is ok, but the stuff they wear when they aren't fighting... ::shivers:[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    Another thing, I might have been thinking of another anime on my earlier post.. but Noir is the anime with a girl committing suicide in the beginning right?

    No, i think you're thinking about Lain... -Now- watching Lain really wraps your brain around a brick, builds a house with it and then demolishes it. ^_^

    Madlax - New Series

    Just finished watching the first episode. The story started out nicely, but once the real fighting started, I was completely turned off!!! Gawd!!! I dun care if Madlax may have superhuman abilities or some implants or god knows what!!! The way she fights is like, ARGH!!!! Its another one of those anime where "if i am not the main character, i can't even hit the broad side of a wall at point blank", except that its alot more exaggerated and many times worse. Sure, matrix style dodges or some incredible display of acrobatics are corny, but IMO, not making any evasive manuveurs and having a whole group of soldiers miss is a whole lot worse!!!

    I would watch it for the storyline only. It looks like something good can be developed. The BGM is pretty good too. But the action is just plain, BLEAH.

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    well, i watched ep 4 couple of hours ago, I can say it was better than episode three, since i only took one nap in the middle....

    seriously, this anime is just B-O-R-I-N-G. nothing ever happens to any of the main charecters, which makes it immpossible to remember their names, not only that, they actually never met, which makes the interaction between them amount to absaloute ZERO.

    i won't say it's completly horrible, but it has no advancment in anything that matters, and the flashbacks(or whatever those scenes are, two dolls talkinh to each other? WTF!?) are worse than Sakura's ones. the only strong point of this anime is the music (the fighting themes, mostly), and unfourtantly, that can't make a bad anime worth watching...

    on a side note, i know that whenever i feel tired but can't sleep, i can always watch ep 2 (mute, so i won't run the risk of getting pumped by the music) and sleep till next month before the commercials break.

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    Let me tell you why I'm still watching it after cussing through all 4eps so far. I'm holding out hope to see someone actually go hire madlax and shoot the brains out of the girl and those 2 kids. The I'd be satisfied.

    RE: Madlax - New Series

    I'm tired of waiting for One Piece, guess I'll start a new series since I saw on the first page that its like noir which I never saw but I heard Noir is like Gunslinger Girl which I liked a lot.
