The anime adaptations of Korean webtoons this year had been in the limbo of average and mediocre but Noblesse decided we couldnt have that and decided to be the worst of the three. Tower of God had the story but lacked the animation The God of High School had the animation but had terrible pacing and Noblesse lacks...everything. Nothing happens the show looks bad and nothing about it is exciting. It was a lost cause from the beginning when you realize you had to watch an OVA from years ago for the first episode of this season to even make sense. What was Crunchyroll and everyone else that participated in this tragedy thinking? other than money in their mind they probably didnt think of much. All we get is 13 episodes and nothing ever happens. Seriously this is the most boring commercial Ive watched. We mostly follow Raizel as he lives a normal high school life and meets his comedic supporting cast. Our main character does literally nothing in the whole entirety of his show other than offer cheap jokes and his powers only come up whenever he has to fix someone elses fight. This is the plot honest to god. The characters are not interesting the main plot went to buy cigarettes with my dad and never came back the character art looks ugly in many shots the fighting choreography is none and the animation for it looks terrible Black Clover has better animation than this in its first 13 episodes. Its this bad and the soundtrack is nothing noteworthy. Both the ending and opening theme look cheap and the songs are average. This is probably the webtoon with the lowest rating and it is painfully clear to see why. I am surprised that this is being animated by Production I.G. They are the same studio animating Moriarty the Patriot and that show looks ten times better than this. I have not read the source material but the art is certainly prettier there than what it looks like on the show. How is it that the Character Designer is the same person that did the art for the webtoon? This is mostly the fault of the studio I assume. If I was the author Id be pissed. The whole thing feels amateurish. It is just insane that you can manage to mess up a show this badly. I dont want to generalize but judging by the art style of the webtoon I can imagine the main audience were women. The staff was not even able to draw goodlooking male characters or female ones mind you . Like the one thing that could make more people watch this and you dont even nail the art on the still shots? shame on you and on your descendants. Every time a girl in the show says how goodlooking Raizel or another guy is I cant help but laugh cuz none of them look as nice as the show wants to make us believe. The characters look wonky almost all the time and their designs look outdated. Whoever chose the gradient for Frankensteins hair did him dirty. As if their looks werent bad enough all the characters are walking cliches and their relationships with each other end up meaning nothing. Our protagonist Rai is stoic and doesnt do much Regis is a tsundere Seira is just female Raizel Manabu is your hackerotaku hybrid Yusuke is the extroverted friend who was the main character in his past life etc. They work in the universe they are in but just as comedic relief. None of them add anything of importance to the main character or are relevant enough to the plot. M21 is the only one that had potential and some thought put into him. They could have done a lot with this character and frankly he is the one who carried the first half of the show. His back must hurt pretty bad for that but even with that in mind he is just used for comedy purposes. Frankensteins character and his whole relationship with Rai was intriguing but the production in this show is so bad that what could have been an ok backstory just left me feeling underwhelmed. The antagonists we meet are onedimensional just like the protagonists and none of the fights that we get in the show have tension. The stakes are none and the losers always join the supporting cast as comedic support. It is very hard to think this show will ever get serious or that anyone will die. The conflicts are superficial and just plain dumb resulting in them ending predictably and leaving one feeling empty inside. Some of the relationships the characters have are written very poorly. Why does Yusuke even like Seira? because she gave him his bag that one time? we are not given any information as to how Yusuke even started crushing on this girl yet somehow the staff decided we needed an entire episode revolving around how Yusuke could confess his feelings. Dont get me wrong that episode was hilarious but again stuff happens and the show doesnt bother to explain why even said stuff happened in the first place or what happens makes no sense. In one episode Manabu just decided to meet up with an adult he has not met ever despite the fact that he himself is a teenager. I am so sorry but who in their right mind would do this? this person you are meeting is not only older than you but was also trying to hack into the police system surely you wouldnt have thought this was a good idea? nevermind the fact that they share a brotherly bond and then the show just puts that bond in the trash to never talk about it again. Nothing that happens between any of the supernatural cast and the humans will make an impression if you are just going to erase their memories every time something happens. TLDR This is the worst webtoon adaptation as of today. Besides a few laughs I mostly spent every episode sighing or getting angry at how bad the show looked. There is no plot no good characters no amazing visuals no beautiful music no intriguing backstories and no goodlooking characters so it is a terrible package.
