In the beginning Madlax seems to be a typical war anime with a mix of conspiracy and espionage included in it. Slowly but surely anime is starting to convert itself into a different genre by revealing mysteries and answering the viewers questions one by one. Combining it with other things such as music characters etc. we receive a beautifully yet slow story accompanied by marvelous music memorable characters and... bad animation? Well nothing is perfect in the end.

Chapter one story
The story of Madlax takes place in the fictional countries Nafrece and GazthSonika. Personally I would say that Nafrece is more important during the 1st half of the anime while GazthSonika takes this spot during the second half however that is just my opinion. As the story progresses we are introduced to more characters and we learn more about their past desires for the future etc. As I stated before the anime changes itself later on however I cannot reveal what exactly happens because it is strongly related to the main plot in the series.

Chapter two characters
There isnt much to talk about the characters in Madlax except that they are amazing. Some may appear weird at the beginning Im looking at you Margaret but later on its alleviated and explained. The main character Madlax works as an assassin for mysterious somebody called SSS operating mostly in GazthSonika. It turns out that the main character completely forgot her past and she wants to bring back her memories. Other characters are all connected by different events happening during the anime and I leave it to you to experience it by yourself.

Chapter three music
The music in this anime is one of the best Ive ever heard in any other anime. It fits this series extremely well and I have fallen in love with it. Heres an example:

Chapter four animation
Time to finally get to something which is not so well done in the anime. Unfortunately the animation feels really outdated and slow and facial expressions are also a weaker side of the show. Both those things are very visible throughout the series and unfortunately I had to lower the final score.

Epilogue conclusion
To conclude my review I recommend this series to anyone patient enough to wait for the answers to all of the questions this anime brings upon the watcher and who does not mind outdated animation.
And for right now Id like... pasta...
