I have never watched a show that did not have a distinct protagonist(s), and to say it was odd is an understatement.
Noblesse starts out with Raizel (and who he is, I'm still unsure), and his purpose in this show is unclear to me as well. Yes, he is not human. Yes, he is in school. Yes, it is said that "nobles are protectors of people," but even with that said, why? Why is he there specifically?
We never discover his purpose as a character, and even more so, he barely says anything to begin with. So, we don't even learn anything from his own dialogue either (other than he likes ramen).
Further, it is made to seem that Raizel would be the MC, but as more and more characters are introduced to the plot, no one ends up standing out above the rest as a protagonist. They just exist within t…

This is a masterpiece. It brings back memories of a time I had forgotten, and I still cannot really remember but I can recall those feelings. The nostalgia hits so hard, when I first saw this, I thought it was a maybe 2005. You got to watch it on YT with the amazing video quality of 480p, if your really want to put it at 240p why not, and just enjoy. And somehow it hits everything just right, and what's crazy is that some of it might have been done intentionally. Sometimes I think its aware of what its doing, which actually detracts a little bit from the experience for me, but not enough to make this anything less than a 10/10. One thing I don't remember is if it had the obligatory beach episode, I feel like it must have, its that show, but I just don't remember. This is better than Dark C…

Late review, but the show adaption of Noblesse was just a fad. It was cool for a short time like a fidget spinner, but soon to be forgotten quite quick.
While I did watch the OVA, usually you aren't suppose to hold them in account for watching..shows?
To be blunt, this show wasn't that good and was severly lacking from original reading material. There are a lot of issues which have been discussed already, but my concerns lie around the pacing and setting. A lot of watchers were distraught as the story was not explained properly? Plus the show itself was heavily dependent on people somehow watching the OVA or reading the source material. It's a common flaw in Manhwa where authors expect you to just "accept" what's happening without asking questions of the ridiculous events.
I won't be to…

Honestly, it felt lackluster. A lot of characters that really didn't do much to advance the plot and got lost altogether near the end, quite a few unresolved plot lines, a lack of an actual motivation behind the main plot line.
The show was devoid of any character development, aside from one or two characters that didn't actually develop, but rather had flashbacks to previous experiences. A lack of motivation regarding MC's relationship to his companion (we got some, but it was highly stripped and bare). Could have left out a lot of filler to actually deliver some semblance of meaning behind a lot of the plot.
It's okay if you're bored out of your mind and want to watch something for the sake of watching something, but there are plenty of other shows which seem to pack a lot more punch a…

Like the Serie a lot (manhwa) , as an standalone experience (didn't read the manhwa before but after) it's a super nice experience
I never skipped the intro, a banger and the animation is really enjoyable. A lot of great moments.
The Characters are pretty interested and I laughed a lot watching this.
In General this show is good, the reason why I put a 7 is if it was a bit more accurate to the manhwa I would give a 8. I think it's fine that some stuff isn't 100% the same but not when its important.
Where the bad comes in is if you read the manhwa, there are some characters that are important not introduced at all (major bad guy for example) and lot of stuff I feel got mixed up. It is kind of sad to see how much is missing or got messed up.
I still like this show very much, would recomme…

I honestly have bias to this show since im in love with the aesthetic and characters. Im not a fan of the trope of a overly handsome and perfect guy everyone simps over, but for this film im willing to look past it. The pacing feels alright, though a bit fast. Every character has something interesting and unique about them, creating a diverse team of main characters (eventhough most concepts used in this series are recycled from other generic ideas of a fantasy world mixed with modernity). The characters overall, dont exactly feel human and its hard to sympathize/empathize with some them and that may be just because of the pacing-they had alot of stuff to put into a small amount of episodes. Some characters you meet in the first few episodes seem to get forgotten over time-leaving me to wo…

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this, but I didn't really expect much. Webtoon can be hit and miss for me, and I don't spend a lot of time checking things out on there. I have not read the backstory so this review is based off the series alone.
The animation is good, the storyline is interesting, and it has a lot of fresh twists and turns. It keeps you engaged throughout and doesn't have any huge holes in it as far as I can tell (so far). There seems to be a lot more needed to finish out the story so I can't say for certain if it will end up being 4 stars throughout. I'll check back in after a bit and revise.
Update: This is a really fun twist on a nobility theme. It is labeled as a "dark fantasy" and it mashes together some dark themes but overall it is really lighthearted. I do…

Do yourself a favor and skip episodes 3-4-5-7.
Half the show has a fairly irrelevant part to it and seemed to only be there to make it a a chronological sequel to the prequel (Noblesse: Awakening), despite adding almost nothing of value to the story.
The show should have been a 180 minutes movie.
Before you start this show, you need to read or watch a quick 2 minutes recap of the prequel to this show (Noblesse: Awakening).
Story-wise, it starts as a reverse Isekai. You follow the story of vampires trying to live normally in a human setting, but then there's outside interference from other vampiric characters to twist the story around. It eventually becomes a full-fledged vampire story. You come to learn that the story and the characters of the first half are almost all irrelevant, and…

In my opinion, although I have never read the manhwa version, I still find the content in the movie quite good and attractive. The characters are drawn very well and neatly. The colors in each scene are extremely harmonious and clear.
Because each episode is only about 30 minutes long, it may not be possible to clearly and fully show many of the characters' actions, leading to a long delay.
In short, I really enjoyed these 13 episodes and always look forward to the next developments that will be aired. Thanks to the producer and staff for working so hard to create a movie like this. If possible, I hope to show season 2 in the future so that many people and myself can watch it.

As someone who has seen the anime and read the WebToon, I don't get why people are attacking it so much. I was also one of the people who about lost it (in a good way) when I found out that Tower of God, God of Highschool, and Noblesse were getting anime adaptions. Personally I enjoyed the anime and the Webtoon about equally with both having things I liked and disliked. Overall I would rate it an 8/10 because it was enjoyable to watch! Personally I would say that its better than the God of Highschool and I cant decide if I liked the Tower of God one better or not.
So literally just stop. I wouldn't expect it to be perfect. That's why your single. :)

I seriously expected worse before I started watching this adaptation. Having loved the manhwa until it's completion, it's among my favourite works on my list. In all honesty, I enjoyed the anime no matter how I looked at it. I admit that some scenes were empty, awkward, anticlimatic, with lots of room for improvement... but let's be real, it wasn't bad, at least in my humble opinion.
I don't know the budget, deadlines and other constraints behind the production of these series, but adapting 545 chapters (even if 1 chapter isn't worth half an episode), 7 seasons with a total of 25 arcs... that's a lot. So simply imagine adapting 2 seasons, OF COURSE they had to skip things.
What was good: Character design and development are ok, the story and progression are ok (for sm1 who already read th…

Mild spoilers present
It was quite grand and very good. It was a fiction, but the way it was shown made me feel like one of the character of story seeing the characters doing their things in person.
Noblesse as the name suggest shows nobles and the word is very far from the way nobles are shown in any other anime. The part I liked the most was the las episode when our main character turned out to be the one who do the fair judgements to the wrongs of the nobles and turned out to be more powerful than a lord.
The other characters shown were quite good as well.
The modified humans showed were quite an ordeal and frenkestien character was quite powerfull as well.
Overall the show was good and can be enjoyed by anyone.

Honestly I can understand the low scores as compared to other anime, this is no where near in the "must watch" group. However, it honestly overall is a strong 7/7.5. Even myself wasn't that interested until about episode five. I was uninterested, the plot was a little confusing at first and i was just watching slightly half-hearted. Until Episode 6 onwards it started to take off. We managed to get flash backs which tied loose ends together and once everything was summed up, it turned out to be a binge watch for me. Visually the action scenes looked amazing and without saying too much characters showcasing their abilities did not disappoint. There is a lot humour as well which i first found cheesy, but soon found my self laughing at certain scenes. Again this isn't an anime I'd definitely r…

The fact that this show has such a low rating should let you know that such opinions can only hold so much weight. As someone who was not familiar with the WebToon this series took me completely by surprise and I fell in love with its every aspect. If you like OP protagonists and and OP-verse then this is the show for you. Nuff said. Those who did not enjoy the show as much may have been unhappy with how the show was adapted and I am in no position to speak to that considering I hadn't read the WT. However, from what I have seen the show followed the original source material quite faithfully.

Noblesse is the third Crunchyroll Webtoon anime adaptions. The first Kami no Tou (Tower of God) was all right and deserving of a second season, the second The God of High School has cool fights and animation but is bad in everything else. I've read the webtoon for Noblesse and was looking forward to this but does Crunchyroll strike with this 3rd one?
Story: 5/10
The anime starts off poorly because the 1st episode made me lost and would no doubt make loads of other people lost. It is actually a sequel to an OVA that came out 4 years ago, Noblesse Awakening. The anime could have done a recap at the beginning of this or something but nope which caused much confusion. After this the pacing was way too fast! They were breezing through everything to the point that so many things were cut from t…

So, this was the third attempt of Webtoon Anime adaptation after Tower of God and God of 'Highschool'. Compared the 3 of them, i would say TOG got better story and plot, GOH was better in term of fight choreography but the pacing was soo awful. Noblesse for me was heartwarming without homo lol. I really interested in the characters, and 1 thing i can complement was their comedy. Their humor senses were original and enjoyable. the MC has a straight face but when he tried to act funny, he succeed to make me laugh. The power system also quite unique. Overall, it's a really cool and worth a shot to watch. TOG was good but i hate some of the characters. i can quite say that this anime was a 'balance' between the good TOG and awful GOH.

If there's one thing we learned from Tower of God and God of High School it's that webtoons just aren't meant to be adapted to anime. When Noblesse came around, I think a lot of people just gave it a low score because they had been conditioned by the previously-mentioned two to dislike webtoons adaptations. I think that this one was surprisingly good though.
The story of Noblesse is actually really tight. It's very consistent, the world is well-built, the pacing is solid and some of the lore is really interesting. The art is really good (I mean, these are the people who animated AoT what did you expect?) and the OP and ED aren't too shabby. The characters are decent and it was just an overall fun watch.
I do, of course, have some things I dislike though. The story makes a big shift in fo…

Overall I will rate this Anime a 6/10
I KNOW, I KNOW that the webcomic is way better story-wise and that it fills most of the gaps that the anime left open.
The anime itself felt very bland... I wasn't annoyed by the story, I actually felt like it was going by at a smooth pace. But I just feel like it didn't accomplish anything, it felt like the whole 'school side' of the anime was pointless... Yes I know it was to develop the main character's feeling/how he feels about himself, still... pointless.
I would still recommend you watching it because it's different and the art/ animation are very well made, just the story is like a 6/10, the rest is a solid 7.

Honestly I expected this to just be "another vampire show."
I mean Strike the Blood good, Rosario Vampire was okay, (for an ecchi focus.)
Vampire Knight was kinda for teenagers, and Blood Lad was pretty over the top. (in a good way.)
btw it's not gory or bloody, (as much as some other shows are.)
But this anime even though it's listed as Vampire.. their not technically Vampires... Which actually makes it more interesting..
and it's not a "vampire show" really. more about godly "mortal" protectors.
I thought the fights and animations were pretty good... Oh and if you watch the first episode and are confused their is a 30 minute pre-view episode with story... kinda a prequel, of season 1.
I honestly though the main character was kinda bleh.. and he walked so damn slow... But by the end…

Fairly alright adaption of the webtoon. As many has pointed out, it does not start as the webtoon. It plops down many chapters into the webtoon and might be confusing for many viewers as you don't get a proper introduction of many characters. Although I would argue they have set the series where it begins to get very interesting and follows the storyline well. There are some subtle differences to the original and some severe changes. I didn't care much for how they changed the ending, and a lot of character developments were ignored in favour of letting the story progress forward faster which (imoho) took away chances for laughter.
However the art is great and it flows very smoothly. It comes across as light despite the fact that they approach some heavy morals and I like that, it gives…
