This review is from: Noir: V.7 The End of the Matter (ep.24-26) (DVD)

I would consider this a must have for any serious anime fan. The storytelling rivals, and actually surpasses, most other anime I've seen. The soundtrack is outstanding and character and plot development, combined with the other elements, is handled with an expert touch. This volume confronts some of the deeper issues only hinted at earlier in the series. Here we learn some of the deepest secrets of the past of Kirika, Mirielle, Chloe and Altena. I will never forget the words of Mirielle's mother to a young Kirika, just starting on her path of death: "It is true that sometimes love can kill. But hate can never save you..."

Definitely in my top 3 of all time; may not be for everyone if you like mindless explosions from beginning to end, but everyone else should love this one.

This review is from: Noir: V.7 The End of the Matter (ep.24-26) (DVD)

I really liked this series. The underling story line develops an unstoppable momentum as we move from chapter to chapter. By "Then End of the Matter" the viewer can hardly wait to get his hands on the next DVD to learn who will survive to become the "True Noir."

What I especially liked was the lethality of the players, unlike alot of Sci Fi, great rivers of firepower are not on display. Instead each shot fired is potentially lethal, and the tension in the movies of Sergio Leone is recaptured. Also like Sergio, extreme close-up's on the character's eyes, and facial features are often used to build the tension. The artists come through beautifully in terms of rendering what must have been a challenging vision on the part of the director.

I'm in my 40's myself, and have no problem recommending this series to an adult audience. The story telling is that good, far beyond the level of most "Prime Time" offerings in the states.

When a series is progressing predictably, one of the things a director must struggle with is finding new ways to bring about a satisfactory conclusion. Read more
