This isn't a second chapter. I'm just gonna answer to a review that said that madlax wasn't a ripp off of noir. Well haven't you noticed how:
- Madlax reminds us of Mireille: tall, blond, elite assassin?- They got kirika's voice actress to do Margaret: the brown haired school girl with killer skills (in the opening we see Margaret's skills, even if the show didn't... show us yet)
- Eleanor is the Chloe, she's appreciatively the same age as Margaret/Kirika and is totally devoted to her.
- Vanessa looks like Altena with dark hair and has some affinity with Eleanor, like Chloe has with Altena.
- Rimerda, the sniper army girl is a Shao Li clone when she has that hat and she wants to kill Madlax, just like in eps 15 and 16, Shao Li had captures Mireille
- Enfan (kid in French) is the name of the organisation that acts in the shadows and seem to control everything in the anime, kind of reminds us of soldats (soldiers in french) and it's funny how both are French words.
That are the characters that I remember the name... but there's a guy who looks like Mireille's uncle Claude, a woman who shows physical similarities to Belladonna, and I've just seen Madlax up to ep7... I'm sure there WILL be other things too
and on www. karmaburn. com/0404. html (I had to put some spaces 'cause for some resaon the address won't appear here) "In any case, Madlax thus far seems like a slightly more cheerful version of Noir. The similarities really are a little hard to ignore, even without Kuwashima Houko playing essentially the same character again."
