The second episode we introduced to Margaret Burton a 17 year old orphan, she has no memories of before she was 12, she spaces out a lot, she is also the heir to her families fortune and she also has a book called Secondari which is valuable to Enfant. The story is set in a country called Gazth-Sonika where the rebels (Gaztha) and the kingdom army are locked in a bitter civil war with no end which was started by a secret criminal organization with a silly French name, Enfant which is lead by the evil Friday Monday. She is an expert markswomen (actually beyond expert) and almost always seems to evade bullets effortlessly. The missions she goes on would be considered suicide by a normal person but Madlax isn't normal, she's "different". Madlax is a mercenary who is sent on missions by her boss 3-speed or SSS.
The story starts with a little girl named Laetitia talking about a place where people don't desire and then Madlax is introduced, a 17 year old girl wearing a military style jacket, short shorts (Astro boy short), knee high boots and two SIG P-210 pistols. Madlax has it's own unique story line which blends elements of action and fantasy. Sure, it has it's similarities like a mostly female cast of characters, a shojo-ai subplots and a girl who is really good at killing people but thats where the similarities end.
When I started watching this series I had passed it off as a Noir clone but that is not the case. Genre: Action/Fantasy/Drama/Girls with Guns Where I saw it: On DVD (personal collection) Is the series for you but for the rest of us might want to stay away. Anyway if you like lots of violence and nudity then Gantz Gantz is also not without it's problems for example most of the characters are naive morons (I mean they could of saved Nishi but they just stood there and did nothing) and the ending was confusing. Nudity and violence is not the only thing going for Gantz, it also has excellent animation and uses CG well which is to be expected from Gonzo. The best way to describe Gantz is that it's has a lot of style but very little substance which can be seen in the semi-original plot to the nudity, sex and extreme violence. Gantz orders them to hunt down and kill aliens living on earth. Then they are all introduced to Gantz, a mysterious man in a sphere who tells them that their lives are over and they all belong him now. They soon find themselves in a small apartment with a group of people then a girl, Kishimoto appears in front of Kurono completely naked.( Wow I never seen inside of a boob before).
The premise of Gantz is that two teenagers Kurono and Kato are hit by a subway train after saving a homeless man who fell on the tracks.
You have to kill to survive because no lifeform has won a battle by dieing for its planet, it wins by making the other lifeform die for it's planet.Īnd last but not lease keep your distant (I'm looking at you, Kato). Work together which is pretty self-explanatory. Stop gawking and fight back because the alien will just pick off you group one by one. Before I begin the indepth review I have put together some survival tips for the world of Gantz.
