Story and News on the official site have been updated.
Basically, there is a trailer and summaries of the first two episodes (the first is nothing new, in the second, Nadi and Ellis will try to get a decent job but fail miserably). The is something about "Victor Spring Magazine" on the news which I'm not sure was there before. Can someone translate that part?
Ok, comments on the topic... Now, even I ain't sure I like where this is heading. Fine, the first episode summary sounds like something we could expect from makers of Noir and Madlax. But the second is a bit... mainstream? Two cute girls trying to get a job in the restaurant but failing because the evil proprietor Frieda (she's German, too) doesn't like the fact that one of them is carrying a gun. Duh.
On the bright side, I'm sure something like that could have been written about any given Margaret-only episode. Exclude the incomprehensible parts with books and that jester Monday and you've got it. The devil's in the details.
Then, the trailer. The music is OK. I can't say it can go like this for some time without getting annoying but for a trailer it is fine. Oh well, now I have the nerve to speak about the real thing troubling me. WTF is up with Nadi? I mean, ain't she supposed to be the vigilante bounty hunter who absolutely cannot be the typical comic relief character? OK, fine, that final shot of her is awesome, taken directly from Madlax, but the rest? Ellis doesn't appear too impressive, either.
The only hope is that Mashimo is a huge tease (hey, we should really make it our community's motto!) and he deliberately cut all the good parts from the trailer, leaving only the final shot to keep us from disappointment. ^^
PS: Oh, and was that a one Euro coin Nadi tossed into Ellis' box?
PPS: And which body part does Ricardo use for cognitive processes, taking his stepdaughter with him on an assignment? Unless she is really one of the Saplings. OMG.
