AniWorthNoblesse: Pamyeol-ui Sijak
Introduction
Humans live their lives driven by ambition and greed, prepared to kill their own kind with no hesitation. Since the beginning of humanity, wars have raged on throughout the human world, with the other races watching on.
A victim of one war and orphaned, Ashleen was saved by the lord of the werewolves, Muzaka. Muzaka had abandoned his duties as lord and left the werewolf clan, travelling with Ashleen to secure her happiness. However, during his absence, members of Muzaka's species began orchestrating further wars on humans, disgusted by Muzaka's compassion. A secret and powerful organization established itself in the human realm, intending to manipulate Muzaka. When he is misinformed by the Union, Muzaka starts directing his rage toward the humans. Can his only friend, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, the Noblesse, stop Muzuka's madness?
Set 820 years before the events of Noblesse, Noblesse: Pamyeol-ui Sija depicts the tragic history of Muzaka, and how it led to the Noblesse's indefinite slumber.

It was interesting to see Rai go all out, as we haven't yet seen him do so in the anime. However this was good at best. Ultimately, 1 episode doesn't seem long enough to build much of an emotional connection of any significance. So although it does serve to give some background to later events, it isn't very good to watch and didn't keep me very interested. There weren't enough hints that the girl was actually his daughter and he really did treat her as just the daughter of a good friend that he was looking after. He had seemingly very little hatred for humanity prior to her death, which makes his 0-100 change seem less realistic. Overall, even though it is his daughter, his extreme rage and hatred for all humans seems unrealistic and foolish. Especially considering the mother of…

Noblesse: The Beginning of Destruction is the first ever animated adaptation of the manhwa titled Noblesse, that very recently received an anime adaptation by one of the most renowned anime studios called Production I.G, which is why I became inclined to watch the OVA.
First of all, I think that watching this OVA, and then the ONA, is kinda essential prior to watching the TV anime adaptation of Noblesse (which I didn't do), as it gives more backstory to some of the characters and a bit more explanation to how the world works.
Noblesse: The Beginning of Destruction primarily focuses on Muzaka, the lord of the werewolves, and Ashleen, a human orphan who is Muzaka's companion and someone whom he holds very dear to him. After a while, the OVA shows us how she became an orphan and why Muzaka…

Ok let's review this OVA before the actual series is airing, so we can build the hype first.
Note that I've finished reading the manhwa and actually I'm so hyped for the story and action. And I'm kinda curious what actually happened to Rai before his slumber begun.
Story: 8/10
Noblesse's story is the key why it is one of the most popular manhwa out there aside the flawless art. It brings curiosity every time Rai moves, especially in this OVA which it tells the background story of Raizel. The background story is about Rai when he still lives in his hometown with his friend werewolf friend Muzaka. The pace actually flawless and it built the hype for real alongside the start of the plot. Even a werewolf can have a human heart too right?
Art: 6/10
The art kinda looks shaky for such a fla…

I've heard this series was good but never read the manwha, and so speaking as someone coming in with literally zero idea of what to expect, it was not well portrayed. I think they set it up for something good, but then it just stopped after one episode. It wasn't enough to make me want to watch more, and it wasn't all that great in terms of animation.
Soundtrack was awesome, definitely will check that out on YouTube later, but everything else was just a bit meh if you don't know about the story at all.
As far as characters go, they seemed like they could be very dynamic and make the storyline a lot more interesting... If they had continued the animated series, which obviously didn't occur.

Okay, it's pretty hard to review one episode, but let's still try.
Was it worth the wait? The answer is surely yes. Except for an interesting story of its own, it also gives background to the manwha (Later on they mention it, but not much. Guess they thought this one is enough). Things that aren't really explained suddenly get clearer. Unforunately, there are some question marks.
We didn't learn much about Rai (Except for how he got to the 820 years sleep), but we surely learned a lot about Muzaka and the reason for why all the story in the manwha actually started.
As I already said, one might still ask himself\herself a lot if he\she didn't read the manwha, but it's clearly can be seen as ova on itself and nothing more.
Okay. now let's focus on the ova of its own:
