After reading Noblesse, I came to check out whether the adaptation was any good. I can confirm that the (supposed) full adaptation will be exciting if the animation consistency is maintained in the next adaptation.

Story: 9/10
Compared to the Manhwa, the adaptation seems more descriptive and explanatory such as the beginning scene where the fisherman fish Rai's Coffin from the seas (which reminded me of JJBA part 3 beginning, fishing a coffin from the sea after 100 years) The episode skips all the tiny details such as Rai adjusting to the vocabulary and South Korean honorifics in his first interaction in Frankenstein's school and also Shinwoo's first interaction was cut short. There are many large segments missing from the Manhwa that would have made the overall background of the story make more sense such as the concept of enhanced humans which would have already been explained by 16-20min into the episode. However, for a webtoon adapting into an anime this did extremely well and I was satisfied with every detail of it especially when Rai and Jake have their 'KNEEL' scene. Although, it was much more badass in the manhwa when Rai did it. Overall great story so far (I'd say it sums up 40+ chapters within 30mins which is very hard especially when including the most important details)

Art & Sound: 8/10
For an adaptation of a manhwa, both are exceptionally done. There is a heavy use of CGI in the episode which is noticeable but it makes movements more realistic and smooth. Hearing the VA of Jake is exactly what I expected Jake to sound like which was satisfying but seeing Jake alive for the second time hurts a lot..

Character: 7/10
As mentioned earlier, it was a tough choice to condense a large amount of the manhwa into a single episode but the decisions made were amazing since the main story line is still intact and any further addition to plot (such as Rai getting used to Korean or at the PC arcade) might be considered spoiler to a few people. However, to condense the plot is fairly simple but condensing character development, especially Rai's badass character development in the manhwa was pretty painful. Nonetheless, very promising Rai VS Jake scenes - I'm excited for the full adaptation.

Enjoyment: 10/10
No need to say anymore, one of the best Manhwa out there.
