Noein Review - 97/100

I was already addicted with this anime when I saw the first episode. That has never happened before. Noein is a great, wonderful anime, that deserves to be in the spotlights. But I won’t tell too much about the story, because this anime is great when you find everything out by yourself. This is a science-fiction anime, but then without anime clichés. That is the greatest thing of it. It’s about timetravelling, but it’s really difficult to explain what the situation in Noein is. That’s why I won’t even try because no one would understand it after that.

With some unexpected plot turns and heavy drama, Noein deserves to be classified with a really high score. The character cast is great, every character has its story on its own and it is all wonderful. In the beginning it’s focussing on the youth characters, but after that, it’s starting to get really heavy and the older characters have more and more a part in this all. Both parts are really inspiring. Haruka may look that she has to get rescues all the time, but in this anime, it works. And there are so much more parts that make up for it.
Noein has only 24 episodes, and so many great things that I won’t be able to name them all. The pace is overall a bit slow, but in the end, the latest episodes really scared me because I didn’t know what to do. It IS great.
Noein is also the anime that had me cry in episode three. Mostly of the time, this only happens with the ending, if the anime is really good. That it already happened so early is outstanding itself. Damn, I cried so many times during this anime, because every episode had me clunched on the chair and I couldn’t stop watching. Of course, I was frustrated afterwords because I didn’t know what would come after that.
And don’t get me started about the art. The art and the graphics look really awesome. It might be a bit messy, but it fits this anime really well. I’ve never seen such art and it’s really nice. Also, the music is just brilliant. The creators did a fantastic job in using this music right on the right moment. That makes you clunch on your chair even more. And at last: The figts. They are too awesome. Really. They are.
I recommend Noein to every living being. There. Shut up and watch it! If you like drama, you like science-fiction, you like anime, just watch it. The badguy may be a bit freaky, but damn I was moved when I saw this all.
