Synopsis
On a sunny afternoon in her Paris apartment, assassin-for-hire Mireille Bouquet receives a strange email from Kirika Yuumura, a young student from Japan, inviting her to "make a pilgrimage to the past" together. Initially thinking the email is nonsense, she changes her mind when it begins playing a song that she recognizes from her youth. Upon first meeting each other in person, the two are suddenly ambushed by gun-wielding men. While Mireille is capable of fending off the assault, she discovers that Kirika is quite adept in combat situations after she takes out several gunmen on her own. Despite her proficiency at killing, Kirika laments her inability to feel remorse for her victims. In addition, Kirika apparently has no memory of how she came to acquire the skills she possesses or even of her real identity. Sensing shared history between them, Mireille agrees to team up with Kirika, and together, they embark on a journey to uncover the mysteries of their pasts. Operating under the codename "Noir," the duo's fragile alliance is tested as they begin accepting jobs, each one bringing them closer to the truth of who they really are.

Overall from the story, sounds and effect it is very interesting. Plus the plot twist in the end who is the real protagonist in this series is such unpredictable when you watch it from start to end. A good job creating a story full of suspense and mystery.
The plot twist was amazing! I honestly did not expect to see such an unexpected twist in the second to the last episode of Noir. As the story gets closer to the ending the plot becomes even more exciting and unpredictable. Extremely good!
The dark atmosphere and music also fit the series very well. For me this is a good episode because Mireille and Kirika’s character development becomes deeper. You can see how they have changed from simply working together to becoming partners who face their past together.
In this episode you can see the conflicting emotions between the two friends as they struggle between keeping their promise and choosing the importance of the friendship they have built. I can say that they did a good job of creating a suspenseful story like this.
I liked how the quiet village creates a mysterious atmosphere and gives Kirika a chance to get closer to the truth about herself. It is a good climax of the series that make me even more curious about how the story will end.
You can really feel the weight of the scenes while watching. This episode highlights the emotional struggles and conflicts faced by each character.
Everything slowly starts to become clearer. It makes you want to keep watching until the very end. You can see the determination of the two friends to uncover the truth about the past. This episode is very intense and is definitely one you should not miss.
The role and personality of each character became clearer. The events became more exciting especially as their connections to the mysteries surrounding the story were slowly revealed. Because of this I became even more interested in watching the next episodes.
This part was really sad and it made me cry. I could feel the weight of what was happening and the pain the two characters were experiencing. But what I liked was that they still had trust and care for each other despite all the secrets.
This is an important episode because the dark past and the connections between each character are gradually revealed. It also becomes clearer that they all play an important role in the mystery of Noir.
For me this was a good episode because the mystery and suspense of Noir became deeper. As more enemies appeared things became more complicated leading closer to the answers. It was truly exciting and worth looking forward to.
The action scenes are exciting while the different personalities and fighting styles of the assassins make the episode engaging. A suspenseful and action packed episode that adds another layer to the mystery surrounding Kirika and Mireille
The story became deeper in this part. Showing family against family in a mission where survival was at stake. I also saw how much deeper the connection between Kirika and Mireille had become. It makes you wonder what the outcome of their journey together will be.
Instead of focusing only on their missions. The story also showed Kirika and Mireille enjoying ordinary moments. I liked seeing Kirika discover a new hobby as it gave her a chance to experience something normal despite her dark past. It also showed a softer and more human side of her character
At this part. Chloe's character is kind of annoying for me. It is like she stole Kirika’s alias from her. Just kidding! But as the story goes on the plot is getting deeper and more intriguing. It also getting closer to uncovering the answers behind the mysterious organization responsible for everything.
Every episode is thrilling. With different enemies and challenges that make you wonder if they will be able to overcome them. It is really good and keeps you hooked from start to finish.
Well, that was uhh, alright. The premise was good and the lead up to it wasn't bad, but when all is said and done, the ending just falls flat on its face. And that's despite its flaws. At the most I would rate it a 6 because it has its own charm and the soundtrack is good. Even the writing isn't too bad since they did manage to come up with something cool. I just feel the payoff wasn't worth it and the build up was poor. The messaging is there and it's clear from the action of the characters. It feels like it's lacking so much and that's what's preventing it from becoming great. Great opening song, though. Banger.
There's two parts of this that I do not understand. One of them I'm not sure if it was necessary or if something else was insinuated by that. Some kind of hidden lore I don't know about. The second is what Chloe was referring to before the climax scene. Some feelings that we aren't aware of and how she's been acting with her. I don't know if I'll ever get the answers but nevertheless, that's the end of one chapter and all that's left is the final closure.
Kirika, you better get the fuck outta there. This is some mega cult shit and you were just brainwashed. Ever since she entered the manor, she has been different and she doesn't even look happy. This is where we need Mireille to slap some sense into her and end it all for good. The final scene is the perfect tease for that. It's just being stretched to the end now but this ritual and the encounter will be a make or break situation for this show.
Whatever is happening so far makes sense. The way the story is going, it does look like it's going to be a final face off, whether it contains a plot twist or not. You can kinda tell what Mireille has in mind but fate and her goals dictate something else entirely. Still hoping for a conclusive and meaningful ending! Been a while since the first episode after all.
