Story (7)
A group of Elementary school kids decide to go to a graveyard to investigate rumours about ghosts. Instead they meet a visitor from the future named Karasu who's after the main character Haruka.The story's definitley a unique and interesting concept but it seems like the writer purposely tries to overcomplicate things. There are several explanations that drag on far longer than neccesary and can be put in simpiler terms.
Art (7)
Most of the the time the Art style looks pretty good but it has a tendency to downgrade in some of the fight scenes. If it was consistent than I would give it a solid 8.
Sound (8)
In my opinon the sound is the best part of Noein. The voice acting is pretty good and the music is even better. I especially like the Shangi-La ost and the opening song.
Character (5)
The characters seem fairly interesting at first but it turns out that they're very forgettable. The DragonKnights (The orginization from 15 years in the future) all undergo drastic changes for no apparent reason. There's more I could talk about but I rather not go into spoilers.
Enjoyment (6)
It's good to watch when you just need something to pass the time but you won't be laughing uncontrollaby or on the edge of your seat to see what happens next.
Overall (6)
Really I'd give it around a 6 and 1/2 but it's slightly closer to 6 than 7. It's a decent anime with some good ideas but it manages to fall apart by the end.
