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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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.

First of all, the major mistake here was the fact that you HAVE to see the ONA Movie from 2016 to understand what is happening. This is so f*cked up, that you can't bring new public to your anime, you're happy with your centered audience. But let's go in parts
Story: Not talking about the fact that the story of the anime cuts MANY things of the manhwa (just like they did to Tower of God and GoH, but in these particular cases, the cut was necessary to give good rhythm and pace to the anime, since the webtoon are too slow), Noblesse has a problem itself about where the story should go in this season and what would be the major plot, since that we have a protagonist without much information. They should put in a logic sequential of actions that move our main character within the story, not t…

This show is an amazing 9/10 comedy. I was laughing so hard each episode. If, however, you don't find this show funny, then it'll immediately drop to a 2/10 or worse. This show is a train-wreck dumpster fire that my brain just interpreted as satire of yaoi-shojou-vampire anime regardless if it is or not.
If you don't take it seriously and laugh at all the dumb sh*t that happens, you're in for a fun time. If you don't see what's on screen as funny, you're going to be miserable. There is no in between, and I'm just happy I ended up in the former category.
9/10 can't wait for the next season!

Here we are now with the third and final part of Crunchyroll’s trilogy of Manhwa/Webtoon adaptations, Noblesse. The final pillar to put Webtoon adaptations on the map. While there is no doubt they've certainly captured people’s attention, their quality unfortunately cannot match their popularity and have been disappointments from a narrative standpoint. So I was hoping that Noblesse was able to end this trilogy on a high note but unfortunately, it ended with a silent thud to the ground.
Sit back, relax and sparkle in the sunshine to wow all of the girls as I present to you the anime review for Noblesse. Let’s begin.
Story: 3/10
Living in isolation from humanity exists a group of powerful beings known as Nobles who exist to act as guardians for humanity. However, there is a one particul…

Ahhh such a shame. I'm sure people who haven't read the manhwa (Korean version of manga) you may be tired of the people who have crying about it not living up to, or missing large parts of the original story.
Well I wont discuss the missing story, that has been covered by others, plus I don't think its all too bad. However my reason for giving this anime adaptation such a low score is the very poor way it showed the fundamental events which it did include. This was especially apparent in the final few episodes. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
The final few episodes covered the event which was meant to show Raskreia receiving some much needed guidance (even though she is not aware in the beginning) from Gejutel and then Raizel himself. This whole event was wrecked by the anime which means that o…

I don’t think it deserves a lot of the hate especially those who reviewed it too early in the series. For an anime only watcher the series was quite good. I read the WEBTOON and I thought the anime was fine. The story was a bit fast paced and some parts were cut but I don’t some of them were relevant while other could have been squeezed in. Too many saying there isn’t content for season 2 clearly are anime only watchers because there is a lot more stuff and a season is definitely possible but considering somethings turned out that’s up in the air. I personally really enjoyed it. It was like a refresher now I’m going to go reread the WEBTOON. It’s really my favorite I enjoyed all of the characters and I think you should personally just watch it yourself. It’s a pretty nice anime despite som…

I'll make this review as short as possible to convey the idea i received from the show.
the animation is without a doubt amazing, the sound effects used are also breathtaking and I'll be lying if I said the anime is lame. the combat scenes are epic, the story line is decent and their emotions are not well depicted in the anime… is what you'll think if you only saw the anime.
[like how M-21's emotions are shown through out the series].
I was kind of hyped by the anime so I ended up reading the web manga as well and that's where I found out that the anime is missing a lot of scenes and some characters which are supposed to be on some scenes were not even shown in the manga.
the web manga have also explained everything in ways that we can understand the situation correctly unlike the anime…

It's not uncommon for an anime to drift away from the adapted material. Sometimes it's good, sometimes very bad.
When Crunchyroll announced the anime adaptations of 3 major webtoons — Tower of God, The God of High School and Noblesse, I was pretty thrilled. It was desire fulfilled of watching webtoons being animated. After watching numerous manga turning into anime, it was time to enjoy something new. But alas, it didn't work out well. So far, all the adaptations coproduced by Crunchyroll have been utter garbage. They've done everything they can to promote themselves even if it hurdles the story or makes it less enjoyable. And Noblesse has been a victim of this.
The very first OVA of Noblesse — Noblesse: Awakening, animated by Production I.G. is mesmerizing. Even though there were some…

As a webtoon reader, I love the animation adaptation.
I mean, the music (hello It's HYDE!), sfx, voice dub (they changed some of the seiyuu from the OVA 4 years ago but, It's okay. Hirakawa Daisuke is still there for Franken lalala), animation, arts are outstanding. Production I.G really do a good job for this.
But I'm just kinda disappointed because...at first, I really expect it will be something like long-running adaptation that get hundreds of episodes or, at least 24 episodes with more stable-paced story? bc the original Story, I mean, the plot of the Webtoon manhwa was lit epic.
But well..it's turn out being another "ssssummarised" anime from the original story (if u know what I mean lol XD) bc they really skipped many parts. But well, okay. Well done. I'm actually enjoyed watchin…

Well, from the description, it's about Raizel a pure-blooded Noble who's been asleep for 820 years for mysterious reasons! In order to protect him, his servant Frankenstein enrolls him in Ye-Ran High School, where he is the principle.
However, a powerful organization by the name of The Union is also looking for Raizel and is sending modified humans to hunt for Raizel and his friends.
The following is obvious, amazing animated fights between Raizel and his friends with the Union members.
But, for a lot of people the story is also about Raizel interaction with Human society. All his life, Raizel was carrying a heavy burden which is the role of the Noblesse, which made him a loner. But this all changed once Raizel discovers the human society through high school life. Raizel even started ma…

The anime is super great but in the manhwa/manga there are a few scenes and lines that have not been added to the anime. I was expecting those scenes and lines, for example, the father of raskreia said that Raizel was supposed to be the lord and not raskreia. And scenes like where raskreia was going to offer the lord status to Riazel but he refused and the scene where the father of raskeia was being funny in the last message of his in the Ragnarok sword. Yes and many more. I still enjoyed it overall.
So yeh In the coming season 2 of noblesse I hope they include some of the scenes pls.
For me every scene is so meaningful to me but I don't like to watch character's pasts sometimes I only like it because Its the mc's pasts and the person I like in the anime. I really like Raizel He's my typ…

MILD SPOILERS AHEAD
WebToon Anime only ever made sense in hindsight. Back when "Tower of God" was airing I expressed my excitement for what could have been a landmark turning point for both the WebToon and anime markets. I stand by everything I said, and there are undoubtedly good results achieved with this venture. A quick search on Google Trends would reveal that interest in WebToons and Manhwa skyrocketed with the release of ToG. If the goal was to create commercially successful products that brought WebToons mainstream prevalence, the production committees at Crunchyroll certainly succeeded. But despite the corporate success, it's difficult to view this partnership without some degree of cynicism; the flagship adaptations themselves have left a weak first impression. At best, they wer…

I was really glad to know that Noblesse got an adaptation, cause you see, I actually enjoyed the source a lot. It had style, it had development, it was a really good read. So imagine my disappointment when I got THIS instead of a good adaptation. And here I am, telling you why you should just go and read the original and not waste your time here.
Story. The source story can hardly be called sophisticated or deep, but it was descent. But in adaptation there are a few problems, and the first one starts even before the anime itself: the first arc of web manga is an OVA so this "first season" of anime already starts after some events and you have to go and watch it. Second problem: lots of things got thrown out. I am ok with throwing out jokes, maybe some details, but in that case even some of…

Noblesse was a pretty fun and enjoyable watch. Nothing spectacular, but nothing awful either.
Like most things in life, Noblesse has some pros and cons. I’ll start with the bad. Noblesse, the anime, is probably the walking definition of mediocre. The series sets up a lot of cool and interesting mysteries and plot points, but the execution feels lacklustre and leaves much to be desired. The first 4-5 episodes were really good and then I felt it was downhill from there. The final third of the show had some cool fights and nice moments between the characters, but that’s about it.
Now that I’ve got the bad out of the way, Noblesse does have some good things going for it. For one, it’s by far the best adapted webtoon anime of the year. GoH and ToG suffered from tremendous pacing issues, but…
