Although originally dismissed as yet another ''Noir'' [[DuelingShows Rip Off]] by many a viewer, ''Madlax'' was universally praised for its complex yet comprehensible plot (which successfully blends {{Mind Screw}}ing mysteries, over-the-top HeroicBloodshed action, and heavy doses of existentialistic symbolism in later episodes), ingenious soundtrack on par with ''Noir'''s, and memorable characters. Never the less, the initial resentment and three years between the two series' air dates left ''Madlax'' forever in its predecessor's shadow, much to discontent of a small number of extremely dedicated fans. The show was licensed by ADVFilms in America and Europe.

''Madlax'' is the second installment of BeeTrain's GirlsWithGuns trilogy, following ''Anime/{{Noir}}'' and followed by ''Anime/ElCazadorDeLaBruja''. As arguably the most striking innovation in action-adventure anime since ''Noir'', Madlax incorporates many supernatural aspects and concepts associated with psychological thrillers and surrealism, [[ViewersAreGeniuses which the audience must often interpret without further explanation]]. The title is a [[{{Portmantitle}} portmanteau]] of English words "mad" and "relaxed", playing on the prominent theme of [[OrderVersusChaos batshit insanity vs. outright catatonia]] in the story. (It isn't supposed to sound like MadMax.)

The story revolves around two young women who seemingly have little in common and do not know of the other's existence, at first. The titular Madlax is a [[ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl legend]] amongst the mercenaries and assassins of the fictional [[DuringTheWar civil war-torn]] country of Gazth-Sonika. "[[OnlyOneName Madlax]]" is a code name and a substitute for her real one, [[EasyAmnesia forgotten]] along with the rest of her past before 1999, when the war started. The other protagonist is Margaret Burton, the sole heir of a wealthy aristocratic family in the peaceful European country of Nafrece. Twelve years before the story begins, an airliner her mother and she were on crashed over Gazth-Sonika, and its passengers, as well as Margaret's father who lead the rescuers, have been missing ever since. Margaret managed to travel back to Nafrece on her own, though how she made it remains a mystery considering that she too has lost her memories prior to her return; the only thing she recalls it the one word "Madlax". With this thread linking the two girls, they both independently start investigating the powerful crime syndicate Enfant and its DiabolicalMastermind who, for some reason, shows interest in both of them.
