After watching this I can't believe there isn't announced any form of an season with 12 - 24 episodes.

Had o lot of fun in this 30 minutes. Sure it felt rushed but at least we now know what happened with Rei after he fought against Muzaka. Frankensteins reaction when he felt Rei's presence was priceless and perfectly shown. I had to laugh when Rei sat before that Ramen and thought about a pole against vampires when he saw the chopsticks :D

The fight at the end was so good. Rei is a fucking beast, also Frankenstein seems so strong. I wonder about who's that organisation which sent out Jake, Mary, M-21 and M-24 for Rei? And of course what will happen next? I want to see it animated >.<

I hope so much that there will be something in the future. Does maybe anyone know how the manhwa is doing?

9/10

It's damn awesome. I've read the manhwa and I think it's really worth the attention. Producers / Animators should give this manhwa a chance to be aired. 😿

I watched this show a year ago. It never gets old. Awesome.
Animation and BGM are very brilliant. Great Job, Production I.G!
Manga also good.

Stupid people always say it was rushed for heavens sake it is an OVA with one episode that is less than 35 min, of course its supposed to.
Don't act like you weren't born with a brain, its common knowledge that you can't judge an OVA like a series or special.

Any way this OVA was great, I loved Frankenstein and Rai master/servant relationship especially when they took out that girl and that shit bastard. But Rai's finish was so cruel as expected from the noblesse but it was enjoyable especially when that villain taunted him, his friends are kinda lame except Shinwu.

I know its short but it delivered for me so 9/10. I would be happy for a 13 or more episode series (crossing my fingers).

For a second I thought this went from Reversi to black butler real quick but this was actually still pretty decent. And when Rai said "this is where your eyes should meet mine" that was legit one of the dopest things I've heard from an anime. Really hoping there will be more Muzaka in the upcoming anime; I think this show works better with both of them as mains. Sadly I get the vibe he's either dead or he'll be a main antagonist.

Just watched it because there is a new series coming up this Fall. There are a lot of fight scenes and blood. There is a nice opening music that reminded me of Tank in Cowboy Bebop.... just a nice instrumental......and blood. Did I mention that there is a lot of blood in in this show? So much that at one point a building explodes with blood out the sides. So if you like characters with hair in their eyes and lots of blood, then this is great for you. Black Butler vibe with lakes of blood. 6/10 and will watch the new series in a few months.

This was completely different from the prequel. I have to say I liked it more.

Just one thing, one thing. Raizel was wearing the earring in his right ear before sealing himself into the coffin. Why is he wearing it in his left ear now? Did he decide to change the placement? Is there a deeper meaning for this? Or did they just forget?

Just re-watched this since the first episode of the main series is about to air, and I am glad I did. It was a lot better than I remembered it being and it got me more hyped for the show. The clip Crunchyroll streamed a while back almost made me drop it.

This seems more like it will be more of an episode 0 type of deal to the main series than the previous one, which felt more like a prequel series than an episode 0. Things got very interesting. While some of the characters still aren't that interesting, I assume that in the full series, they will have more time to develop them. Hopefully the full series doesn't disappoint.

This prequel definitely was good, made me understand what's going on for the noblesse series.
The music was not good but the animation was good, it felt a bit fast-paced.

Damn, the Animation Quality certainly was a nice surprise. Hopefully, Production I.G. will continue to deliver with the tv series.

Music department was just about fine though, hopefully this'll see an upgrade.

Story-wise, mixed feelings as well. But it's a short OVA so I didn't pay too much attention on it. With CR investing, I'm prepared for this Department to miss again but let's see how it'll go.

Generous 7/10 from me, as such.

I.G really did a great job animating this zero episode. Surely i am satisfied enough, and proved to be better than the prequel one. Damn, it was so fluent, especially with the battle sequences. The story telling quite nice, eventhough i still don't believed Frankenstein still alived, owned a damn school, and let his master became a student. The comedy aspect surprisingly good, and the reaction from Rai kinda natural and really suited well with his situations. The only weakness there was the OST, its not so good, even i must its quite average. Well as a prologue I.G handled everything in a nice way.
8/10 from me. I do really hope that they won't rushed such a thing at the main one. Because, seriously, its really hurt my enjoyment. XD

Damn, this was really great holy crap I am sold.

When they raised the coffin from the ocean the only one I can think of is D I O lmao.

Hopefully pacing will be good for the anime, but judging from TOG and GOH I am not going to bring myself up for disappointment. Though this does seem like it's going to be better than GOH at least.

Wow, I didn't understand shit. Cool fight scenes though. I hope the main series will be, uhh, a little slower?

wouldnt it mean that this ova is rushed since how are you supposed to adapt 78 chapters in 1 31 minute ova?

Yeah, it's super rushed, if you want, you can read the webtoon. The Chapters are incredibly short, there'll be more comedy, Slice of Life thing in the webtoon initially on

Episode 0 (that feels like it) of the entire Noblesse manhwa that covers the 1st 78 chapters (or the first two arcs of Volume 1), and I'd have to say, a 31-min rushed OVA is IMO more than enough for a bite-sized version before the continuation of the main series (which is on right now).

Despite all that, I absolutely don't mind it (after watching the botched adaptations of both Tower of God and God of High School) for giving a preface to the world of Noblesse, it was pretty good for the most part in its heavy condensation of content, providing the background for what's to come.

No wonder Production I.G. has the guts to continue with the main series, but I'd hope that the cast from this OVA will reprise for it as well (which it stuck with majority of the cast, but not the main characters). Pretty good production values for even back then.

It's absolutely mandatory for anyone getting into Noblesse that this is Episode 0 AND SHOULD BE WATCHED 1ST.

Raizel woke up after a very long slumber. He's still learning new stuffs, but he is savage! Raizel doesn't look up to enemies but it's the other way around. Turned out, the Organization is experimenting humans. Jake and Mari are strong, but Raizel and Frankenstein are on a whole new level. So cool and fascinating! I'll surely watch the series.

I didn't know anything about this story before I watched the OVA, but it wasn't terribly hard to follow, so I'm grateful for that. I'm assuming the anime adaptation will delve a little deeper into the backstory of the Union and Rai/Frankenstein. I enjoyed it, even not having known anything about the premise. I think I was waiting to see what Rai could do - I figured he'd be powerful but I don't think I was expecting him to be that powerful!

They have the equipment to fish his coffin from the bottom of the water but they'be been using simple tools to pry it open, did they suddenly run out of budget? XD

I've recently watched Noblesse: The Beginning of Destruction so I'm sure he put the crucifix earring on his right ear in the end but now it's on his left when he woke up here, did he switch them while he was inside there? O_o

As I have not read the source materials, I thought it was OK. Obviously it's better visual and audio experience than the first...but still 6/10 on my book.

The premise of an Noblesse who awakens after 800+ year slumber to join a highschool run by his servant named Frankenstein, sounds hilarious. Still pretty epic especially seeing Rai and Frankenstein dominate the lesser vampires like its they're some fruitflies.

Action-filled, blood-soaked vampire entertainment, smoothly animated, with hot guys and a jazzy opening. I'd bite that. Rushed? Sure, it's almost 80 chapters in half an hour right, but keep in mind that manhwa/webtoons have hundreds of chapters cause each is very short and consists mostly of images (koreans are lazy). When you skip through several useless pages and only keep the juice, the result can be satisfying. The first Noblesse ova was much more confusing in terms of story and with weaker animation.

watching, waiting, commiserating
