I love the crap out of this opening. I just wish I could say the same for the rest of the show which was yet another failed attempt by Bee Train to make a serious "gun-bunny" anime.
For me: Noir > Madlax > El Cazador. But I think it depends what your 'first' was, that seems to be people's favourite. With Noir you essentially knew what was going on, so you could concentrate on the character's emotions, i.e. will Mireille ever forgive or warm up to Kirika. But with Madlax you had to concentrate on the plot rather than what was going through the characters' minds. Because... well. It was hard to know what anyone was thinking. I love Madlax though.
Trio from Bee train. Girls with guns. First was Noir and it had Story. Then was Madlax - it had Mistery. Third and last was El Cazador de la Bruja - and there was Relationship...
@nefersakhmet9 The setting and characters are different. I tried watching Noir, but just couldn't get into it. I love Madlax though. One of my top favorite animes.
@nefersakhmet9 The difference to me is that Noir's plot is simple to grasp, so you can sit and watch it unfold but pay more attention to what the characters are thinking. With Madlax every character is a mystery so you are often confused why everyone is behaving in a certain way. Noir is also set in a completely 'realistic' way, with real countries, i.e. France etc and no 'magical' elements. Madlax has a warped reality feel, magical books etc. It depends if you prefer realism or fantasy.
Is that last gun she fired specially modified or something? I haven't seen the anime I just happened to notice the shell from the gun wasn't a standard pistol round
I'm not sure how I feel about Madlax getting hit by that fake bullet near the beginning. That's kind of a poor first impression to give viewers regarding your bad-ass female protagonist, but oh well.
I recently watched all of Noir followed by all of Madlax and...I prefer the fighting in noir and the music/mood of Madlax. This OP just makes me feel happy. A comparison of both OP's is a clear demonstration of that difference.
I originally vowed to be able to play the beginning of this song when I started band. Of course, I never was good enough, but this song inspired it :)
This is shocking close to Noir. With the pink and blue bullets and the whole "floating" type movements for the opening. I might watch it, because I loved Noir.
um... how old is this anime? i've never heard of it before, but the opening looks interestening. i guess i'll watch it (lack of animes to watch atm lol)
beautifl, just love the music and the video, kind of too much on the effects and conceptual sht but still fits, simply beautifull, love this op... still kirika kicks ass, anyones ass
lol, so ur telling me that because u pay for cable, your paying for madlax? am I to assume those who tape shows, including those with replayable TV, are stealing the show? am I to assume that they will air it as I demand it? I don think so. cable is the service you pay for accessing the channels, what they play for you is free cuz you have no say over when it airs. It's amazing some people still have no clue what cable is.
Uh, what? You call your satalite provider and order the anime show DVD you want to see and pay the fee. That's how the Anime Network on Demand service works.
Since I enjoyed El Cazador de la Bruja so much I'm planning on watching this.

Madlax is more of a sister show to Noir than an actual sequel. You have a similar premise in both shows, but they are executed differently.
It's kinda like Family Guy and American Dad. Same people, same basic premise, different execution.
