This isn't just a comedy or a slice-
Spiritually powerful young maidens pilot mecha to defend the imperial capital in a steampunk version of 1920s Japan in this TV series based on a popular video game line. This economical rerelease gives newer fans a chance to experience one of the most popular series of the early 2000s.
A worthwhile watch for anyone who doesn't mind their entertainment with more brain than heart.

Madlax DVD Complete Collection
It's an excruciatingly slow narrative striptease; a long and leisurely mystery in which nebulous conspiracies, paranormal bonds and ancient, evil tongues coalesce into something ambitious, messy and absorbingly atmospheric.

Natsumi Matsumoto's love of Chinese culture shines through in this energetic romp ... But energy and passion don't always translate into high artistry.
