Madlax thoughts

Below I'm going to repeat some thoughts on the Anime Madlax I expressed on my Mastadon a couple years ago.

The cool thing about Friday Monday as a villain is that he has the ideology of Heath Ledger's Joker and methodology of Emperor Palpatine.  And Mike Kleinhenz personifies it perfectly.

Just another thing that makes Madlax really fun.

The thing about the ending of Madlax is that it's really really stupid, there is no pretending it makes sense, it is entirely built on asspulls and breaking rules right after establishing them.

And I love every minute of it, because for my tastes it's running on pure Rule of Cool.  I love every time Friday gets shot directly  in the face and brushes it off.  I love the Yuki Kajiura Music.  

And Luci Christian gives some of the best line delivery of her Career, "You're a stupid person" and "I'm a Bad little Girl Friday Monday", I can't believe I'd forgotten about the second of those.

It's everything I watch Anime for crammed into 1 20 minute finale.
