Summary:
In the country of Gazth-Sonika, civil war rages. There, a mercenary called Madlax plies her trade, with almost supernatural skill. In the seemingly peaceful country of Nafrece, Margaret Burton lives a tranquil life. As separate as their lives may seem, the two are connected by ties of mystery, and by a holy book that is also sought by the shadowy organisation, Anfan. As Margaret and Madlax follow the path of their destiny, they come ever closer to uncovering the truth - with no guarantee that it is a truth they can bear to learn.

It's divided between two different characters and their paths towards each other, but it's well written with a lot of real emotion and suspense. The music is also very good!

So reading viewer reviews on different sites I was a bit worried about this anime. However my worry was for not. As Madlax really showed it stars.
It's true the story bounces from the two mains alot, but as the story goes on you start connecting the dots, and realizing the hidden plot. One ep builds into the next, slowly but effectively telling you the story. It's a bit confusing at first, but finish this series and you will be greatful you did.

There are some really good aspects to Madlax and some really really bad ones. First of all girlswithguns always good and Madlax does it well. However it also suffers from what I like to call "Bleach Syndrome"... this meaning you will hear the same two or three tracks over and over and over again everytime something exciting happens. They're good songs mind you but it gets kind annoying after sitting through hours of it. The story could have used some work, I got it I really did, but it wasn't done as well as it could have been.

Animation and dialogue were about mid-high range, I don't know why characters names had to be said so many times but whatever. You'll enjoy it if you watch it unless you are a horrible person then I don't care anyway. (show less)
