Now that I have that out of the way let me just clarify a few things... First of all, don't start with this season - this is not where the story begins. There is a Noblesse OVA that should have been listed as episode 1 or 0 or something. To no fault of the series itself, but Crunchyroll rather they split this up, so for someone that missed that OVA it could be quite confusing going into this. If you watch the OVA however, you should be fine, as yes all is not revealed in the first 3 or so episodes so you may not understand everything, but that's ok. Let it tell the story and it will reveal more as it goes along, it's part of story-telling after all.
Secondly, I'll just note that I watched the OVA years ago and LOVED it. I'm sure to someone who had already finished the webtoon they may have felt too much was left out, but for someone that had never even heard of the series, I fell in love with the series and that OVA is the only reason I went and read the webtoon at all, so no I can't say the OVA is bad at all. I think it's great.
Having said that I do feel like the art and fluidity (in the animation) of this season is not on par with the OVA. I thought the OVA was beautifully animated. Seeing someone walk was more natural and well, the characters just looked better too. Not sure why they gave Rai a haircut in the series either as he was perfect in the OVA. I do think they could improve in this area, and should use the OVA as a reference of how to do it right.
Now, just note this series is an action series with some drama and humor mixed in. And once you are accustomed to the series, it's actually nicely done and becomes funnier. I will also admit the first few episodes will feel slow, they are just getting you accustomed to the characters and things that are currently ongoing. I'm now around 11episodes in and every one of the last several episodes has been fantastic, as we are now past the intros and all the setup and are getting into the thick of the story, and it's really good.
I can assure you this series is extremely action packed and has some amazing characters, an interesting storyline and some beyond epic battles. Like with most good things, just be patient with it though. Let it tell the story and help familiarize you with characters because then the events that happen around them later will be that much more meaningful and exciting for you.
Seeing the animation that came out for God of High School and Jujutsu Kaisen, I can't say this is the best anime of the season....but I can say if you give it time I definitely think you'll find it quite enjoyable, as it's a unique spin on the typical vampire story and the characters you'll meet are well worth the ride!
