----------------------------------------
Damn, Shark is really relentless towards his enemies...and M-21 is truly under scrutiny for all things that DA-5 still wants to extract from him by torturing Regis, Shinwoo and Ik-Han. And of course, being Noblesse, Seira, Frankenstein and Raizel (with his ramen obsession) come springing into action.

Takeo and Tao being second thoughts to DA-5 leader Crans and not leaving traces behind, that's the mark of a ruthless leader. But M-21 going as far to protect the trio still shows some resemblance to M-24's promise, and keeping his sanity. Selfish, but selfless at the same time.

Crans really taking his plan seriously to fool the others of DA-5 by being his exponential magic vessel (at least by absorbing Shark)...and this can only call for Raizel to take the stage.

Lots of action this episode with Takeo vs. Frankenstein, Seira vs. Hammer and M-21 vs. Shark, with the ever so illsuive cliffhanger of the enhanced Crans vs. Raizel.

Can't wait for next episode...?

Well, next episode starts the big showdown. As we are only not even halfway through the season, I doubt that these villains will be fully dealt with just yet. Although the most annoying one, Shark, has been dealt with.

The big bad boss, Crans, apparently was just using everyone...that came out of nowhere. I don't recall any instance in the show where the show even hinted or let on that he was just one of those cliche villains that uses pawns and then disposes of them. Still not so sure why he did this, besides for just becoming more powerful. They all work for the same agency, no? So not sure what the deal is with that yet.

Seira fights Hammer a little and will probably continue next episode. Frankenstein has a little trouble with Takeo who powers up, and that will continue next episode as well. Meanwhile, Raizel fights Crans next episode. So within an episode or two, these battles should wrap up and then we will see where the plot will move from there.

M-21 continues to be the focus character, which is nice, but I would like to see some other characters more, besides Regis, who also got a good amount of screen-time this week.

This is probably the episode where I thought that this anime finally picks up. Looks like the fight animation here looks on par with the prequel OVA.

Also, the scene with Raizel eating uncooked ramen was out of nowhere, and I love it.

Fuck me every which way! Damn the cliff hanger. Last week I said I suspected it was going to get wild, but damn, I didnt even appreciate how wild it could get!

I really liked the closing scene with M-21 pretty much dead and the sound of the footsteps as it brings it right back to the original OVA from before the season. That's some sound story telling and direction right there.

I live for Wednesdays and new episodes of this show!

Damn, Crans seemed tough, but didn’t expect him to be savage enough to kill his own mans. Luckily Rai is here to save the day(I hope). Good action packed episode, show’s starting to pick up a bit these last few weeks. Wish it got more love.

That post credits scene of Rai eating ramen was hilarious

Finally, things are really taking off! I guess it was worth sticking with this anime because next weeks episode is gonna be lit 🔥

I was super impressed by Seira; she's a badass and I hope we get to see more of her in action. Regis is pretty awesome too with the way he effortlessly fucked Shark up, but he definitely met his match with Crans. I don't think anyone but Rai will be capable of stopping him!

A lot of fighting and beatings in this episode.

As soon as Krantz got his super drug from his so called buddy, Raizel shows up. Sorry Krantz your time is most likely up for Raizel shall demolish you.

Big battle next episode :)

Ok episode :/

Lmao. That after credit scene mostly became my absurdest scene i've ever seen. Seriously, Rai??

Ah, ofc, its got a cliffhanger again. No way they could wipe them out in one episode. So, really looking forward to see whats Rai can do against Crans that went crazy after revealing his true intentions.

Takio fights against Franken was surprised me. I hope Takio didn't get any much harm fighting Franken. I knew he would do an all out attack. Or else, it might be so much shame knewing his intentions kinda pured among the others. Tao? He just stood up like that? At least helped your damn little brother out of that miserable place! And for Regis, well, his last attack indeed a fine thing before he got a punishment. Should i care Shark? Ofc not. What about Seira? I hope she revealed her true power true against those fatty. Well, thats it for this!

I just have to say f u to this anime, I have been patiently waiting for 5 weeks now for a good fight as we had in the prequel. The pacing is so god damn slow I would recommend anyone who wants to watch it to just wait for it to be complete and then just fast forward all the episodes that are out now(first 5).

Finally some action.

The adaptation is pretty decent actually. But the problem is, Noblesse heavily follows the 2000s shounen formula so it feels outdated because it's nothing we have never seen before. The anime should've been made 10 years ago.

This being said, I still enjoy Noblesse much more than the other 2 Crunchyroll webtoon adaptations. It's cliche but at least it's watchable. Sad that it's the lowest-rated one.

Okay episode, a bit of an introduction to the fights but the art/animation looks so awkward that I can't really get engaged in them. The pacing was oddly slow given how much unnecessary focus they put on the internal conflict between M-21 and Regis. They really wanted to end the episode with Rai appearing at the end, huh. Well, next episode should be hype. As always, the post-credit scene was hilarious. Rai x ramen is the best ship.

The art is still not good. The writing is still not good. The action is still not good. Yet, none of it is bad enough to make it unwatchable. If I read the source material then I would probably hate this below-mediocre adaptation, but it is watchable enough that I will probably stick with it.

As expexted we got a more wilder episode and a lot of beating happened. I'm glad M- 21 decided to protect the kids even if it means he most likely won't ever hear the names of his comrades. The fight scenes were decent. I was surprised about Takeos strength. Should be interesting to see what Frankenstein will do next now that Takeo took a D pill.

So Krantz kills Shark when he took the D pill, absorbs him to get stronger? That came out of nowhere. But I'm fine with it. Shark was such an annoying character, he won't be missed. Regis got just fucked up by the new pumped up Krantz.

The transition was nice when you only could hear Rais footsteps. I'm pretty sure Rai will destroy him in an instant. His fight in the OVA was so badass. So looking forward to next week.

PS: The ending scene was hilarious. I guess Rai would die for Ramen :D

Really good episode again. Good for M-21, there are other ways to find the names of your brethren but, right now the children's lives are more important. Gaddamn, basically all of DA5 is basically fodder for Crans, hopefully Tao and Takeo lives and not get absorbed.

Let's go I am really hyped for next episode, show them who's boss Rai. And that after credits scene lmao, I thought it was gonna be some important shit but he just ate uncooked noodles. Never change Rai, never change.

It really is the best time of the week when Solo leveling chapters, kaguya-sama chapters and noblesse eps come out all within a day or two of eachother.

It seems like the best moment for Raizel to step in, I was just hoping that Regis could see it

To be honest at this point it looks so inferior to the source that it is hard to even compare the quality of those two. Anime is so lacking in every aspect possible that this is not even funny.

Didn't expect Crans to beat Regis that easily. Raizel will finally get the chance to show his power, though, which I'm really excited for.

By the way, that scene at the end of Raizel eating raw noodles was quite funny. He did just what I had expected him to do in that situation.

Its not THAT good but its good. I admit I also do enjoy it more than it deserves.

I dont think next episode is gonna be awesome. As others pointed out already, the animation is always awkward and it has something to do with timing, pacing and sound. This is unlikely to change and will keep making the drama underwhelming.

I think it is better to consider this a heartwarming story show than a cool fight show, despite the source being the exact opposite. I think the producers also bet on that card and it was a good move. On the other hand, that does not excuse the uninteresting action and the show does suffer because of it.

In my opinion, they should condense the action a lot. With the same animation effort it would make for much more engaging action scenes, get rid of the stiff repeating dialogue that breaks into it with no sense and give more space for extra stuff.

Like srsly, how many more times is Regis gonna look at M-21 with an internal conflict within the span of 1 minute of actual show time? How many more times is M-21 gonna look away guilty. How many times is Shark going to threaten the kids and how many times is Crans gonna play Beethoven in his head off screen to give buffer to all these kids blabbing about who's gonna kill who and who's not gonna kill who, when the only clear solution (from his point of view) is to kill everyone in 2 seconds.

Basically this episode was waste of time and could be reduced to 5 minutes of screen time. Such approach is ok with slice-of-lifey parts, but not in action. Padding out the fights with dialogue NEVER works and Noblesse joined the group of dumb shows that go to the extreme to prove it. It's sad, because in some aspects the source material has been proliferated well, even improved imo, but this was bad.

Fortunately, due to being action-heavy and dealing with the uninteresting minions, this episode was probably the hardest to get right, so I think its the lowest we will see of this show - at least I believe so.
