MADLAX / The "Madlax Cinematic Universe" is officially a thing

I was actually going to post about this after the first album, but now that I've seen it invoked, I can't help myself...

From the first episode mentioning that it was taking place in Nafrece, I was like OMG this show is Madlax II: Electric Golfaroo!
Kuroda's writing it, and I didn't know that not only did he write that smutty Valkyrie Drive show, but invoked Nafrece in that too. Thus Steve pointing it out in the ANN exchange.
Eve is definitely Madlax
Aoi is totally Margaret
Aoi's attendant, totally totally Eleanore
For Vanessa I was waffling between the woman who runs the orphanage, or Eve's caddyfriend Lily.
The others I haven't quite sorted out yet as it's steadily spiraling in to insanity. Feel free to posit your own of course.
If you passed it up, give it another go after reading that review. Spoilers really won't hurt anything because this is the kind of show you just have to roll with.
