Heard about the webtoon lots of time back in the past, but the synopsis never sounded interesting enough for me to read it but this ova convinced me to :P I have never read the webtoon so I didn't think it was rush coming in as an anime-only viewer but the ending sure left us hanging there.

Wasnt as good as the first OVA imo. I was expecting a continuation, instead of two unrelated narratives. Of the two, the first had a better story.

At least the fight at the end was okay

Much better than the prequel. The animation was way better, and the MC actually had a minimal amount of personality. Pretty good for an introduction to the series. The fights were really amazing too.

Oh no theyre vampires all right(mostly) but they do NOT fit into 'generic/edgy' vamps category

^ they're nothing like the average vampire. they break 100% of the rules. that's what makes noblesse what it is!

i loved it when rai did this for the first time in the manwha and the anime did it justice, although it wasn't nearly so early. but they needed to show all of what rai could do in just a short amount of time so it's understandable.



also i thought the animation was pretty mediocre (that's why i said nothing about it) until i saw this sequence of gifs. it's wonderful! i feel like i'm watching it for the first time, animation-wise. i need to watch this again lol.



no wonder IG is so legendary.

Hm, I had read a couple chapters of Noblesse and wasn't terribly motivated to continue, but this ONA really did its job. After seeing this, I'm really motivated to start reading it again~

In terms of Manhwa, I didn't think it was all that likely that they would be adapted, but after seeing Noblesse getting an adaptation, I'm really hoping that they adapt at least a one-ep ONA for Tower of God (ToG). I really want to see Baam and co climbing the tower!

*manwha

it's on the internet now so there's no need to ask. anyway i haven't seen i yet but i definitely intend to watch it tonight.

to the people watching this for the first time: BE PREPARED. SEVERE AWESOMENESS IS COMING TO THE INTERNET IN NO FORM LIKE BEFORE.

if that doesn't convince you, just remember that the minds of kuroko no basket, psycho pass, ghost in the shell and samurai champloo are on this. there's like no way they can mess this up. expect a S2. just do it. as a matter of fact, expect a season 37. and up.

and if that still doesn't convince you, also remember that noblesse has collected over 2 billion page views because of it's magnetizing aura of awesomeness.


THIS. Oh, cool Regis avatar btw. :D

I liked the OVA despite it cramming 75 chapters into one episode, it IS an OVA after all. I'm reading the webtoon until now and I'm loving it. My favorite part in the webtoon and in the OVA was when Rai thought the chopsticks were stakes and that the garlic were meant to kill him. It's a classic scene that never gets old.

I'm getting confused by their names and the setting. It's Japanese dubbed, the school is Ye Ran which is Korean, they're eating ramyun (spicy ramen) with kimchi but Shinwu is called Yusuke Tashiro, Ikhan is Kase Manabu and Yuna is Emi Iwata.

I hope this is received well and gets a full Anime series adaptation.

I also hope this will pave the path to adapting more Korean webtoons in the future like Distant Sky, Bastard, Windbreaker, Tower of God, Annasumanara, etc.

you know, there's been a lot of discussion about how short the chapters are, so a full length episode could rush through like no-one business. but looking at this episode with 70+ chapters put into one, it felt rushed right? IG missed A LOT, but they had to put the basics inside before anything else. so, if they decided to spread it out like it belonged, i think it would do pretty good by just doing around 3-4 chapters per episode. that would equal up to like 25+ episodes. i am no longer worrying about the shortness of the chapters being adapted.

and here's what i don't understand.

making it korean wouldn't make it any worse or better. it's just animation.

you seriously want it done by korean hands and then it will be a relief off your back? what?

No, the one M-24 made, the one they used to find Shinwoo and the others.
Crombell found him and made some experiments on him, and M-21 is the one who killed him after Rai awakened him.

now noblesse is opening doors for future manwha/manhua in the same way. if it was a success in japan, that is.

if you don't really know what i mean by the "opening doors" thingie, then you probably don't understand how much powerful influence noblesse had in the webtoons pool.

Holy shit, that was the most fun I have had watching an anime in quite a while now, this is what the prequel should have been, an adaptation of the webtoon from chapter 1 (or 2 in this case), not jump into who knows where in the story. Yes, this wasn't a perfect adaptation, there's problem with the pacing, the art couldn't match up with the webtoon's art (edit: I take this back, art and animation were glorious, couldn't really think of any moment of flaw, I was comparing the art in latter chapters, but the first few chapters iirc looked just like it was in this anime), and the 'impactful' or emotional scenes weren't as good as they could be, but heck, they compensated with great soundtrack, great look and atmosphere around Rai (they did this man justice!) and freakin Frankenstein was so badass! I personally don't really like his voice though, but oh well.

But man, did I mention how well they did those Raizel's scene? From the moment he appeared, he looked majestic, there's just this special aura surrounding him, almost seem as if he's untouchable. The comedy, while not completely on point, was still enjoyable. And man, Raizel.. lol I know I keep repeating myself, but dang, his attacks thoughhhh!

I also loved how they nailed the one Franky scene with him saying he had a feeling those monsters started with him, it makes him look so intimidating for that one moment.

I don't like how they switch up the name of the characters though, just call them by their original name, it's not that hard.

But man, they really need to animate more of this stuff, I want to see my bae Franky in full glory that he very much deserves. Oh, and, respect to M-24, dude was straight up beast, even though he got low diff'd. I want to see more of M 21 as well.

lol, i see where you're coming from. they drew rai perfectly, but they drew rai perfectly in the old days (or early chapters). it's like how the in the frieza saga, everyone was early drawn but it was still drawn perfectly on how the author drew it at that moment. but later on his art got better, and that applied to the animation as well.

that's why i liked the korean one a bit better. it had the animation of current rai (with his epic haircut) and it captured his personality even better.

yes dude, this means so much hype! perhaps this means an adaptation is announced this year, but the actual airing is the year afterward. who knows?!? i'm just guessing.
but you're right. anime isn't the only thing that can happen. but as for a game, it technically happened already. look at this:

as you can see it was only an event but it was pretty well received by fans and some even asked if it was coming back. franky looks awesome :^

as for TOG, i definitely can't wait to see if it's adapted. i've been saying for a long time that for even for my adoration of noblesse, TOG has even more shounen vibes than any webtoon i've ever read. it needs to happen.

and finally, i'm not giving you that hope; it's kim himself! so excited to see what he has in store these last 6 months.

More cross-media deals to adapt webtoon stories into TV drama series, feature-length animations, movies, games, books and toys are expected in 2016.


i know that S/E holds the rights to make a game after one webtoon (the announcement of it going into action hasn't happened yet), but that was pluralised. so what's next this year i wonder? the toys part also make me almost just as curious.

Hm. Very nice. I'm impressed. The flow was pretty good, considering it was all in one ep. I'm sure it felt hella rushed to the manhwa readers, but to those who've only watched this, it wasn't too bad. I think I'll give it an 8/10. Would've been better as a series, but this will do.

felt rushed but was still enjoyable though wonder if they'll ever make a full on series of it or not?.

A fun half hour, would be good as a 12 episode anime series if it ever got one!
