Madlax

[Aeon]

Is it just me or is the song that starts off with I'm here(can heard around 13min in ep 20) not on the ost? I just redownloaded the mpc version and converted the songs to mp3 with Alive and can't seem to find that song[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

Spoilers for ep 20












The dog tags Madlax carry around her neck seem to be from Margaret father instead of her own. Didn't see that coming. I'm starting to think Monday Friday is either Margerets or Madlax dad but I dunno how Carossur fits into everything since his blood is in secondary but it didn't look like he was around at the time of the gunshot. I love this show I need to see ep21.

[Munsu]

I dont think Monday Friday is either them's father... I think he would have recognize them by now as such... or at least suspect them from the beginning of possesing Secondary....


Anyways... episodes 21 and 22 released by anbu-lunar

Ohhhh a double release what more could I ask for. Maybe for my torrents to speed up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

[Munsu]

I just watched 21

Possible spoilers


I really like were this series is heading... it makes me wonder... Margaret's dad was known as "Madlax", but the Madlax we know killed him... now why did she kill him? was it to protect Margaret and Dawn? or was she working for Friday Monday? where the heck did she come from?

Was Margaret's dad living a double life where Madlax was also his daughter?

End of spoilers


I hope everything gets answered on episode 22... I'll watch it tonight

[Aeon]

I just watched the eps and all I have to say is (spoilers)













Vanessaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I knew she was gonna die sometime since everyone Madlax had to protect ended up dead but I was hoping Vanessa would survive it all. Now Madlax is prob gonna blame herself for not killing Rimelda when she had the chance. And speaking of her why does she hate Madlax so much? Kinda stupid to hate the one person that has been honest with you. Looks like my father theory was wrong so now I have a new one after kinda seeing Margaret powers I'm now starting to think that she was the one that killed her father and created Madlax the same way Carossur created another version of himself. And oh yea I still miss Vanessa Renee[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

For some reason I don't think Madlax is real anymore since the little girl said she was different from other people. I think somehow it was Margaret that killed her dad and to cope with the stress created Madlax which is why they seem to be linked to one another.

[Munsu]

You got some weird ideas there... but for as crazy as they may sound they will probably be true... or pretty close... I cant help to wonder the either Madlax or Margaret wont survival the whole ordeal ***Careful NOIR SPOILER ON THE PARENTHESES ****(but since this is a anime similar to Noir they might both survive)

I just hope that the servant survives... she is my favorite character....

Yeah Vanessa had to die, but we all were hoping that she would survive...

Rimelda doesnt hate Madlax... at the contrary, she loves her... the reason that she continues to fight her is becuase fighting her proves her existance... gives meaning to her life, all after she have been fighting a fake war... by fighting Madlax for her own reasons makes everything she has done real... or something like that...


Out of everything that has happend the only predictable thing was Margaret believing Madlax killed Vanessa... I cant wait for the episode that both these girls duke it out... maybe a threesome with Rimelda

Ep 23 is out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

[Munsu]

Cool... that's pretty fast considering they did a double release the other day

[Aeon]

I'm enjoying this show too much, the eps end before they start[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. Sucks considering Ragnarak eps seem to take a couple hrs to end. On to the ep (ep23 spoilers)








Nahal proved her badassness even if they didn't show her killing everyone on the beach. The way Madlax was talking it seems like when she saves Margaret she is gonna die :'(. Also Madlax proved she isn't real by getting shot and having no blood. And what does it take to kill Rimelda? she fell off a cliff and still can walk and kill people. I wonder what she's up to now.

Rimelda doesnt hate Madlax... at the contrary, she loves her... the reason that she continues to fight her is becuase fighting her proves her existance... gives meaning to her life, all after she have been fighting a fake war... by fighting Madlax for her own reasons makes everything she has done real... or something like that...

Your reason is better then my she is a phyco that's holding a grudge over that General guy that wanted Madlax to kill him.I still think it would have been better if she teamed with Madlax then Vanessa wouldn't have died[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

So it appears you guys are understanding this show and enjoy it. Although entertaining at times, I still don't have a clue why the show does what it does sometimes. I really feel like they made a story, then decided to remove certain parts to try to make it "mysterious", but the actual effect is a bunch of plot holes.

I am finally beginning to see some answers to "what", but I really doubt by the end of this series that they will explain "why". I hope they explain it, though.

After seeing all these episodes, the earlier episodes still did not make sense on why it happened the way it did. It is as if the producers choose style and effect over effective story telling.

If anyone can explain what Madlax is all about, maybe I would be able to enjoy it more. Thanks a bunch! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

[Aeon]

There only seems to be 2people on the site still watching Madlax and since I suck at explaining things Bud your up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

[Munsu]

Yep i guess I'm up...

If you consider Avenger and Noir... they left many "why's" out... their style seems to be just take it for what it is, dont bother with asking....


Now... I'm really diggin the Madlax and Margaret being the same person... I have to rewatch but I'm pretty sure that when Margaret's father gets shot... Madlax and Margaret are wearing the same clothes...

So it might be that seing Dawn being killed triggered something on Margaret and she herself killed her father and somehow created an alternate personality/character in Madlax... or something like that... I dont know how it happened but it is a possibility

It looks like Elinor will die in the next episode... I really hope not since she is my favorite character after Madlax... she is awesome... although she has dropped in awesomeness recently... I'm still holding to my impression of when she kicked the guy's ass that tried to get it on with Margaret...

[thundrakkon]

So what we could say is that everything is a fabrication of Margaret's mind, with the help of those books. Afterall, we only see two countries in the series, Garza Sonika (which Madlax lives in) and the one Margaret lives in. The reason why the countries are unheard of by us is because they are creations of young Margaret (I don't remember her age, maybe 5).

If that holds true, then this series is a sort of dream; therefore, in dreams a lot of things happen without explaination or continuity, so that explains all those missing holes in Madlax storyline. Everyone in the series must be made up by Margaret, so that's why certain people appear so indestructable (Madlax and Elinor), while others disappear so easily (the book detective and other soldiers).

If your theory that Madlax and Margaret are the same person is true, then that is why the story is told through those two's point of view. It also means that they both cannot exist in the real world together. I think that pink haired little girl is probably the doll representing Margaret's subconscious mind. Also, since all men around Madlax dies and leaves her by herself, it is a reflection of how Dawn died in front of Margaret. Rimelda probably is another incarnation of Margaret, the one that loves Dawn, and also as the one that is trying to eliminate what is not real (Madlax).

Thanks for explaination, Bud.

As for Noir, I loved it. I understood pretty much everything in that series and felt that had a good explaination for most of the story. It was mysterious with a good story line. I just didn't like how weak and weird Chloe became in the end, and the constant clips of the blond girl's family being killed became a little annoying. Overall, great series though.

Ep 24 is out by Ayu [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Guess I'll watch it tonight with Otogizoushi and Ten Ten.

Ep was released by Ayu while I was sleep.

Now it's time for ep 24 spoilers




Just when I thought this show couldn't get any better they went and made 24. It was really cool how they were showing what should be happening to Madlax in all her gun fights apposed to what does be happening. One part I didn't get was that we know Madlax isn't real that's why Remelda can't kill her but does that also mean she isn't real. Madlax bullets all seemed to just miss her the same and neither of them ever seem to miss a shot. It would also explain why she didn't die when Vanessa knocked her off a cliff and she woke up and went right back to killing. And poor Elinor, soon as she gets back to fighting she has to die [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. 3 characters are now dead in the last 4eps I think, and I still have to prepare to see Madlax die at the end, why can't they take Margaret instead. I doubt she can do anything on her anyways.

[thundrakkon]

I agree with you when you mention that Remelda isn't real. As I alluded to before, I think she only exists because Madlax exists, as a counterpart.

I pretty much expect the whole world that currently exist will no longer exist when Margaret realizes the truth, so therefore, everyone will eventually die. What I don't understand is if this is a fabricated world, then why do some people die while others do not (Madlax and Remelda). If Dawn is also a creation of Margaret, then why does he die, but not Madlax? It might have to do with the fact that Madlax does not "belong" there?

As far as Margaret not being able to do anything on her own, she did threaten to kill Nahal when Nahal was about to take her book. Nahal felt threaten enough to stop and retreat. Margaret may be far more deadly than we originally thought.

[Munsu]

I dont think Rimelda is fake... I think Madlax was missing on purpose... Madlax wanted atleast someone to remember her when all is over with and she dissapears... and she picked Rimelda....


I dont know about you guys... but im not watching episode 25 until episode 26 is out... so i wont post until then....

[Munsu]
