Noblesse is the third Crunchyroll Webtoon anime adaptions. The first Kami no Tou (Tower of God) was all right and deserving of a second season, the second The God of High School has cool fights and animation but is bad in everything else. I've read the webtoon for Noblesse and was looking forward to this but does Crunchyroll strike with this 3rd one?

Story: 5/10
The anime starts off poorly because the 1st episode made me lost and would no doubt make loads of other people lost. It is actually a sequel to an OVA that came out 4 years ago, Noblesse Awakening. The anime could have done a recap at the beginning of this or something but nope which caused much confusion. After this the pacing was way too fast! They were breezing through everything to the point that so many things were cut from the Webtoon including characters. One of the best arcs in the series, season 3 of the Webtoon, is done in just 4 episodes which shows how rushed it was. It's a shame as Noblesse first a couple of seasons are very good but are done extremely poorly here.

Art: 3/10
I'm very disappointed in the art and animation here. Of the 3 webtoon anime adaptions, this is no doubt the worst looking one with boring fight scenes. It's not very exciting to look out but you're not going to want to gouge your eyes out either. It's just boring.

Sound: 6/10
The Opening and Endings are phenomenal. The soundtrack itself is just average but occasionally decent.

Characters: 4/10
Due to the poor pacing, character development is butchered. Some don't act the way they should from the Webtoon or are not developed enough. This leads to some poor attachment to some characters.

Enjoyment: 4/10
As a fan of the webtoon this is quite a gut punched honestly. Crunchyroll does not succeed with this series or do it justice. I think the crunchyroll anime adaptions just got worse with each iteration as The God of High School was also quite bad and that is a big shame. I don't want a season 2 for this series if this is the level we are getting. Just go read the webtoon.

I still hope Kami no Tou gets a season 2 though because that was pretty good.
