Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Madlax Episode 24 - hearts

Madlax acknowledges her own immortality as she destroys two squads of soldiers (including tanks and helicopters!) in the Cocktail Dress of Doom. She and Rimelda have another face off - while Rimelda is obviously incapable of harming Madlax, Madlax chooses to shoot her clothes off (!), asking Rimelda to remember her.

Everything else is going in the extended entry to hide spoilers...

Elinor heads off to find Margaret, but is shot in the back by a group of soldiers (she refused to kill them herself because it would upset Margaret). With her last ounces of strength she makes her way to Margaret, who has completely forgotten about her thanks to Friday. Elinor takes aim to shoot Friday, but he convinces Margaret to use the words of the books on Elinor - but her "true impulse", which they unleash, is still to protect Margaret. However, as Elinor reveals that Margaret is her only family, she finally succumbs to the bullet and dies. Reticia breaks down crying for Elinor as they meet in the poppy field where Vanessa was when she died, so Elinor comforts her sadly. When Madlax finally arrives, it's too late.

Boy, they're dropping like flies! And it has to be the really nice characters that go, too (well, aside from Carossur). Looks like Quanjitta killed herself too, although we didn't get to see that. The scene with Reticia and Elinor in particularly was really quite powerful, but I suppose that's because I'm so incredibly addicted to Madlax. Only two episodes left to go...
