Noir English Sub & Dub

About Noir

Noir blends action, mystery and drama by Bee Train (2001). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Noir—a name that strikes fear in the hearts of those who know the history behind the moniker. Long ago it was the code name of a very successful and feared assassin and now it is being used by two women who want answers to questions they have about their lives.

Along the way, the main character in this series is a highly skilled assassin named Mireille Bouquet who is based out of France. One day, she receives an unexplained email from a girl named Kirika. Following up on the message, Mireille goes to meet this girl and learns that not only does the girl have no idea who she really is.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

At 7.3/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. It aired in 2001, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
