Personally, I don't like mystery that much so this is an average anime for me. The action of this anime is pretty cool but it doesn't have that much though (not until near the end). The story line seems a little weird. The first ten episodes or so were kinda comfusing, and of course, mystery. Moving towards the end, it's starting to reveal the secrets but not that clearly. This anime is somewhat similiar to Ghost in the Shell. Anyway, if you like action and mystery type, check out this anime, you'll like it.

This show is so freakin awsome! It's got action, a bit of romance, and the best part of all mystery. It's from Director Koichi Mashimo, who brought us NOIR, and .hack//SIGN. I've only seen three episodes, and I'm impressed, and excited for the next episode. As right now, I only get it from "On-Demand." And since they pulled Chrono Crusade, I don't trust them a whole lot to play the series. I'd tell you the plot, but it's kind of confusing, and I'm lousy with plots. As far as I know it has to do with this Bounty Hunter/Assassin, who is dealing with conflicts in a bloody civil war. Meanwhile, there is this rather eccentric girl, named Margret, who is odd. There's this "Aura" type girl, who scares, the living daylights out of me. She's spooky. That's the best to my knolwedge. Anyway the show is great. Fantastic direction from Koichi Mashimo. And I'm willing to bet, he did the sound. Plus Bee-Trains Animation is spactacular. And the most key element, music. From the esteemed composer of .hack//SIGN and NOIR, Yuki Kajiura has some bueatiful, and haunting melodies. I even heard re-arranged parts from the song "A Stray Child" (.hack//SIGN) and other music pieces from .hack//SIGN So do I recommend this Anime? You bet, if you love Action, pretty girls, adventure, mystery, and a beautiful original score, MADLAX is for you!

Drama : High 8 Episodes Watched Hmm from the same people who brought you Noir. So far I'm not very impressed by it. I was like WTF this seems to be 2 different animes running at the same time. Honestly I can't really give it a good review because when Madlax did her little change into an evening dress while 30 feet up a tree bit I was like ok, this is stupid. I did like the way she was hitting on a guy for a date during the mission. But this is still confusing. I'll watch as it is released, but go watch Noir, it's better. Heck I'd rather watch Najica Blitz Tactics, at least that has more fanservice. [2005-06-14] Ok the 2nd disk like Maburaho has greatly improved. I guess ADV must've done some massive head banging after watching the first releases quality. Madlax still is looking for a date and still killing tons of people. Margaret is still a basket case but now we know there is a reason behind her mystery. This is a much better show than Najica but still Noir is better. I'll now upgrade this to a rent.
