From what I read it will be 10 episodes. It might not be good since going. Off of this the whole thing might be a bit too rushed.

By 10 Episodes they mean 10 Chapters.

I was expecting a Korean dub but still it was better than I imagined it. Hopefully they make a full series out of this

This was an amazing surprise. Never thought a manhwa would get adapted. It's only an OVA which is a shame but it's a start. Maybe one day we'll get a full TV adaptation.

Episode was rushed but that was to be expected. Despite that it was still epic. Even though I read the manhwa I had chills all throughout the episode. I was so excited for Rai and Frankenstein's greatness! Art and Animation were beautiful, music was okay. Did feel a bit weird with the setting being changed but I understand why they did it.

I'd recommend anyone who liked this to give the manhwa a shot. Story is great, Frankenstein is amazing and the comedy is hilarious. The art is really nice though it's not the best at the beginning but it does improve later on.

Is this really happening?

A manhua recently got an adaptation (which is currently ongoing iirc) and now a manhwa?! Japan's anime industry must be outsourcing or some sort.

It would be great if they can animate a full-cour adaptation instead of one-time ONA/OVA. There are tons of great manhua and manhwa out there in which people would love to watch.

As for my take on Noblesse, it was quite good despite having only 1 1/2 episode to boot the story. Though not fleshed out enough due to time limitation, they managed to showcase the key scenarios. Plus, the animation is superb and atmospheric.

The only rant that comes to mind is that I'm not happy about Raizel's (and Frankenstein's) character design and the atmosphere they're giving off. Something is not right and different compared to their manhwa counterpart. Also, I do think that they're both a little more "bulky" or "bulkier" if that's the word you use to describe it.

Production IG slightly dissapointed me with this ona. The art was cool, however the animation wasn't that great and the voices didn't match the mouths. The music didn't appeal that much to me. Despite that the concept was intriguing. By the way, am I the only one who thinks that Rai is a mixture of Sebastian Michaelis and Kuran Kaname ?

update: Wait this is an adaptation of 70 chapters! Holy shit! And I trought 72 chapters in 12 eps were insanity...so they somehow did it. For this I.G. gets claps from me

Excuse you, Rai is not a vampire.
just like others said, you should totally read the manwha. Even as a person who read the manwha, i don't enjoy this ONA as much as the original source. If i haven't read it i would totally agree with you there.

Tbh I always wanted to read it and I kinda started some months ago, but almost 400 chapters while I have other manga priorities just won't do... so here's to hoping it will be turned into a full anime, I would watch it for sure.

yeah i can understand how you feel about the character designs. but they are pretty accurate to the originals nonetheless.

also this may seem stupid to correct, but it's manwha. if you say manhua, then you're actually referring to the chinese comics.

and why do you little fanboys get your panties all up in a bunch when people talk negatively something? like even fans of the manga say this is shit, and to be totally honest, if not for this piece of shit ona i may have one day checked out the manga, but i have literally no desire to do so after this atrocity

TOG is great and all but you can't compare the two. TOG is about Regulars and Irregulars while Noblesse is about a man who's the most Opst while TOG is about Khun(Koon) and Bam (Jyu Viole Grace) trying to stop FUG and reaching the top of the tower... Both are about different things if they had the same plot then you could compare them.

Look, I'm not denying the fact that you can hate this ONA, but in case you forgot, I recommended you read manhwa and see for yourself why it's "school setting, human friends, enemies' reasons" etc, but you called it "generic as fuck".
Never said ONA is perfect tho...I also hate the fact that they put 80 episodes into 30 minutes and that they changed so many things, but isn't it better to actually go and read something people are complaining about and see for yourself than post shit here when you don't know what it's about?

Sorry, I'm a girl, as you can see from my name (or maybe you mistook me for someone else here)....and I rate things based on what I like about them so I know whether I should go back and rewatch it or not. I don't rate things to help other people decide whether they're gonna watch something or not. It's up to them to make that decision.

it's the fight scenes that keep everyone in the story. you're not alone lol. it's an ok plot but the art and battles - let's be honest here - is what brought the 2 billion views. and i don't think you can really pick on their being vampires as something because they don't even act like them (as in everyone's basic ideal of them) in the slightest. this isn't twilight. it's actually a new idea to the vampire theories out there. but their being vampires have little to do with them as people.

tell me how im wrong lol, i said this ona was shit, she agreed that it wasnt good... im saying that the ona killed any interest in i had in the manga... im talking solely about the ona and how it affected my outlook on the title as a whole, if the manga is good then so be it, but im not interested after this atrocity.

you're wrong in terms of the ONA to the manwha, that's all. it's your immense loss to not read the manwha over a rushed 78 chapter half hour episode.

to be honest about the korean vs japanese, i typically find the japanese has higher production value in general, but aside from that there isnt a huge difference, idk why theyd be mad at it looking nicer lol... but then again ive only seen 3 korean anime movies so i guess that isnt too much to go off of... oh well lol

Well yeah but still 30 mins for ovr 78 chapters.. :X You do understand that every chapter has over 25+ pages while one piece adapts every manga chapter into 1 anime episode but they did an entire arc so most people who do read the comics unlike yourself found it rushed. They left out so many good things which was a shame the start of the comics was meh but it is by far my most favourite comic i've ever read and I read a lot. So if they do more episodes I just don't hope they make it another 30 mins with an entire arc being adapted while most won't understand what is happening.
