Story: 3
The whole story revolves around Cadis Etrama Di Raizel. Short Rai. He's the handsome badass, we all need in our lives. Or I just need him. Well, who knows. Anyways. He does not talk that much. He doesn't talk at all most of the time.
So back to the story. He suddenly awakens out of his slumber / hibernation which lasted for almost 820 years. He finds himself in a new area. Nothing seems familiar. Actually, he does not speak the language at the beginning. - "Just saying." Rai does not know the reason for his awakening either neither does Frankenstein furthermore the reason for his disappearance is clouded in mystery.
So, you're asking - why..why does he only give the story 3/10?
Well it's simple. The whole story did not make any sense? Dr. Crombell for instance, one of the main antagonists of the series and the reason for M.21 and M.24 to be hostile towards the "Union" wasn't even introduced. What the f. was going on. Like seriously? Why? Why were they even attacking the girl in the first place? And who is the mutant which attacked the children? Why?
It should be explained WHY Marry and Jake were sent.
Also, what was going on M.24 is suddenly all "Sorry, I wanted to kill you first girl, but now I will just rescue you". That was like ENTIRELY different in the webtoon.
M.21 and M.24 DO NOT know that he is the Noblesse also NO one actually knows what or who the Noblesse really is? That part was especially fucked up. If everyone knows who he is and the "Union" also knows that he is the Noblesse, - well done - 2/3 of the ORIGINAL story are now worthless.
The original concept was changed an effing lot to fit into the 30 min time frame - I can understand that is was meant like a preview for further projects maybe. Either way it's not really well adapted.

Looks amazing. I didn't expect any less of I.G. Production. Still, the "blood" looked ridiculous in many scenes.
Sound: 6
I don't know. I think - in my humble opinion - it din't fit into the anime. They should have sticked to a more "classier" approach towards the series. Rai is like old, not just old he is like ancient. The whole Baccano "feel" wasn't my cup of tea.
Character: 4
Rai was speaking to much. He shouldn't be talking at all. He was like very open towards everyone. Sorry but the whole premise of the series is HIM OPENING UP. Rai gets to knowing the humans. He starts to understand what it means to live among men.
Enjoyment: 5
It wasn't all bad. It was decent. But surely it wasn't outstanding. I liked that it was heavenly action-driven. Much appreciated. But still, following the webtoon a little more accurately would be so much appreciated.
Overall: 6 (Because I am generous and I LOVE Frankenstein.)
Meh. It wasn't good. I mean, I love the webtoon. But..the OVA wasn't great, far from being anything. It was indeed enjoyable but that's it.
Read the Webtoon. It's really nice to read.
