Thread: Noein

  1. #81

    Noein

    Is anyone else watching this???

    I agree that not that much happened in the last two eps... but this one is kinda cool.

    Episode 17


    the fight was nice (although Fukurou Vs Karasu was better) and well, seems that Haruka is bringing the whole of the Dragon Knights by her side? now there is only the half-human guy on the side of La'Cryma and he thinks the timespace is doomed. Well, I really hope we forget about it and move on the talking more about Shangrila.

    Noein

    Well, if the preview was any indication of things to come, Haruka (and this timespace) might need all the firepower they can muster. Even if it's a bunch delinquent knights from another dimension... Althought it's hard to see where the story is actually heading for. So far almost all fights have been bickering amongst the dragon knights. Maybe fighting against Shangrila is a purposeless thing to do anyway. It's also emphasized by the fact Noein is the only real Shangrila being. Dunno. This is like a story of Haruka finding herself, and everything happening around her is of secondary importance, and doesn't matter in the long run.

    Edit: What I'm trying to say that this is a kind of philosophical story, or a long-winded chinese chess match between Noein and Haruka. Right now I don't think the actions of the others play that big a role; they only help Haruka to form her own opinions, reflect her actions, and seek the path she's going to tread.

    The next episode is already available.

    Episode 18 - Shinsen

    It was quite a good episode. There's some deeper idea behind the actions of Noein, as Haruka's powers seem to be reaching the omnipotent state, and fighting her directly might not be an option. But Noein said he's little invasion already did what he needed to be done, so apparently there's something going on Haruka & co have no idea of. Some causality stuff, possibly. And we still don't actually know what role the Magic Circle project of that one unmoral businessman exactly plays in the bigger picture.

    Episode 1 from Anime-Keep DVD source:
    http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allo...5D.mkv.torrent

    If you like the series, I guess this will be worth getting. Picture quality should improve, among other things.

    Anyways, time to watch episode 17 and 18... I had forgotten to watch them.

    Edit: The episode was recalled so don't download it yet.

    Well, well... Noein came back. It's good to see that Shinsen decided to return also to this timespace for a chance, considering how many projects they have running simultaneously.

    Episode 19 - Shinsen

    Edit: Quite a nice episode. It's quite calm, all in all, presenting practically no battle (well, this never was an all action series anyway), but the plot proceeds nicely. And Atori seems to be cracking again. Maybe he will regain his insanity... But it's hard to predict what's going to happen in this series, as same kind of events seem to happen time after time, yet with possibly different outcomes and meanings. Just like happened at the end of this episode.

    Damn, I need to catch up to this series, totally forgot about it...

    Well we saw it was coming so it wasn't much of surprise. Mind of the 'Bird' was nicely done. I wander what made Noein as he is.

    A really good episode. It has been built slowly but this show has its own unique atmosphere. Of course much of its is based on pseudo science like in numerous other series, but somehow I think it has been played really well in this series. The science isn't only a convenient play with words to explain random things, but it seems to have an actual role in creating the slow, magical, dream like progress of the story. And the music really enhances that, as well. It's like a reliable mix of old and tested stuff in perfect, working doses.

    Still, it's impossible to see where this all exactly leads, at least for me. That's naturally a huge positive factor.

    Heh. Sometimes it's hard to remember the kids are just kids in this series. But some scenes do certainly succesfully remind of that fact, like Yuu being very embarrassed by being hugged by Haruka at the end of this episode.

    It has been a while, but the wheels of quantum mechanics finally turned again:

    Episode 21 - Shinsen

    Edit: I'm still totally unable to make any predictions of what is going to happen (or even going on) in this series. Such a wonderful state of unpredictability. This was a good and interesting episode, even if it did contain one scene (and explanation) I didn't particularly like. Well, 3 more eps to go, and I'm certainly looking forward to them. This show didn't lack unique traits and atmosphere.

    Aye. A very good episode, and since the next one is the final, the acceleration was to be expected (also literally). It has been a good series with a strangely calm atmosphere, despite all the fighting and threatening things going on. No doubt the excellent and perfectly fitting music also played a role.

    Edited: to increase sense.

    It was definitely worth the wait. An excellent last episode. An excellent series altogether. One of the most unique ones I have seen without feeling or being totally weird or strange like FLCL and the rest of that sort. And not quite stock graphics either, yet still pleasant. All in all, this series will find its place quite high on my list of exemplary animes.
