Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Madlax Episode 5 - none

Madlax ends up attempting to protect a teenager, Chris Crowther, as he attempts to make his way to his father at Garza, the Resistance headquarters. We get some background and tying-in of plot threads here - Chris was sent to Gazth-sonika by the politician that got murdered last episode in order to investigate the civil war. Furthermore we see some flashbacks to Madlax's childhood - appears she was involved in a war zone, and all she has to remember her father by is his half-destroyed dogtag and that weird piece of paper with the two tadpoles in which keeps popping up. Anyway, Madlax foils Rimelda and Mr. Doe's attempts to stop them, and Chris makes it to Garza, only to discover Insane Masked Guy who wipes him entirely from existence (possibly).

I don't think Madlax is playing the Matrix card, but it sure as heck seems like it at times. I wonder how they're going to explain all this Enfin stuff. That book Insane Masked Guy has must have something to do with it. Curiouser and curiouser.
