Noblesse

The "Noblesse" Cadis Etrama di Raizel, also known as "Rai," is enrolled in Ye Ran High School by his servant Frankenstein to stay hidden from the sights of the Union, a mysterious organization out for Rai's blood. Rai commences his life as a student, making himself familiar with his classmates and the daily activities of humans. However, his new life is far from peaceful, and Rai is soon forced to save his new friends from the hands of the Union that had abducted them.

Meanwhile, M-21—a Union agent gone rogue during Rai's rescue operation—joins the Ye Ran High School security staff after a proposition by the school's director, who happens to be none other than Frankenstein himself. On the surface, M-21 is a prim and proper employee, but in truth he is shackled by his former ties to the Union and the inevitable consequences of betraying the organization.

To further complicate matters, Nobles Regis K. Landegre and Seira J. Loyard enroll in the same school to investigate the Noblesse. While the Union conducts a manhunt for M-21 to extract clues regarding their missing agents, Rai is forced to keep his identity hidden while protecting all that he holds dear.

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 the worst part is that this transition is done at such a slow pace. The vampire part of the story is a family/clan and inhertience feud among vampires; the fundamentals of that story are fairly basic and almost disappointingly predictable. The ending is incredibly flat and the lack of substantial backstory makes it even harder to appreciate. Another flaw is how restricted the environment is; you're constantly switching between 4 spots that almost never change, sort of like a sitcom.

Character-wise, the main character is very stoic/robotic and it fits his "style", however there's too much mystery behind his story and it leaves you asking for something that the show will never deliver. A lot of characters that you see in the beginning end up being completely irrelevant a few episodes in.

Art-wise, it's nothing special. The special effects in the combat are satisfying but nothing out of the ordinary. Fair.

Combat-wise, the last 3 episodes become loaded with hefty combat but the rest of the episodes could have used much more of it.

Overall, the show should have been a movie. It's fair; not bad, not very good. It would have been very good had we've been spared the useless episodes in the middle of the show.

Mixed Feelings

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 recommend people to go read the manhwa after watching the anime.

Enjoy!

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 the Webtoon including characters. One of the best arcs in the series, season 3 of the Webtoon, is done in just 4 episodes which shows how rushed it was. It's a shame as Noblesse first a couple of seasons are very good but are done extremely poorly here.

Art: 3/10
I'm very disappointed in the art and animation here. Of the 3 webtoon anime adaptions, this is no doubt the worst looking one with boring fight scenes. It's not very exciting to look out but you're not going to want to gouge your eyes out either. It's just boring.

Sound: 6/10
The Opening and Endings are phenomenal. The soundtrack itself is just average but occasionally decent.

Characters: 4/10
Due to the poor pacing, character development is butchered. Some don't act the way they should from the Webtoon or are not developed enough. This leads to some poor attachment to some characters.

Enjoyment: 4/10
As a fan of the webtoon this is quite a gut punched honestly. Crunchyroll does not succeed with this series or do it justice. I think the crunchyroll anime adaptions just got worse with each iteration as The God of High School was also quite bad and that is a big shame. I don't want a season 2 for this series if this is the level we are getting. Just go read the webtoon.

I still hope Kami no Tou gets a season 2 though because that was pretty good.
