| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- lol. Beetrain. It was a meh first episode. Could have been a ton more interesting, but what the hell. Too bad there wasn't even any blood, beetrain boo. |

| This 1st episode is great... great intro. great their arts and music. That make me cant wait to watch next episode :D |
 |
| It was ok, pretty boring. Felt myself drifting in and out throughout it. I'm giving it 2 more episodes to pull me in before I drop it. Should have known to not watch it given it was Beetrain. Aside from their .hack series and Arc the Lad, they haven't done anything that wasn't painful for me to sit through. |
 |
| yeah i agree that it's not yet that entertaining. hopefully there's a lot of interesting plot to cover the 26 episodes or however long it is. wont be worth watching if it's just bang-bang-shoot-em-up of the week. characters aren't entertaining enough for that |
 |
| When passed 2 minutes 56 seconds I realized that this anime I really like it! Great music. Great atmosphere. Exchange of glances the main characters. With pleasure I will look further. |
| I actually saw an advertisement for this anime on a fanfiction site and thought I'd check it out. It's pretty good so far. I really love the music..it kinda reminds me of .hack//sign. |
 |
| Well yeah consider yuki kajuro composes the music, same with tsubasa chronicles. Anyways the intro episode was kind of interesting, had a degree of mystery to it, but like others said, if this series turns out to be just a general shoot um up girls with guns type series with no real character development, then it probably won't be that interesting, but i won't judge yet. |

| Like Scynt_Skunk said: It was ok, pretty boring. Felt myself drifting in and out throughout it. I'm giving it 2 more episodes to pull me in before I drop it. said...throught this ep, it kept pulling in and out. Some things were unclear. And at the end, when she said "After that, I will kill you." Although It seems unlikely. If it indeed does happen. I will hate this series even if i loved it. If you catch my drift. I am hopeful that does not happen. And I am hesitant to watch it because of that. So I will try and give it a chance, for a few episodes too. PS> Other than that, I LOVED the music. |
 |
| Phenomenal music! Yuki Kajiura...<3 ;-; Anyways, I actually really enjoyed this first episode. Reminded me a lot of Phantom of the Requiem. xD |
 |
| I can literally feel myself drifting away into the anime with all the music and atmosphere. |
| I had to pause and play to decide the dub or sub. I have to say both are superb. Though I found it a little awkward in the scene when the people in the background were speaking Japanese as the girl was leaving her school. This episode felt more like a montage or memoir than anything. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| This episode seems like El Cazador de la Bruja but it looks like it'll get better with the next episode. |
| I decided to watch everything from Bee Train, this episode wasn't strong but it was enough to keep watching |
 |
| This first episode is good. The OST seems great and no complains for the graphism or the atmosphere. It's quite boring at times but I keep watching. |
| Well that was some artsy hipster shit I loved it though OST is 11/10 normal Kajiura 1st ep sure lived up to its name I think I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this ^^ IchiroEX said: I can literally feel myself drifting away into the anime with all the music and atmosphere. This. It was very noir. |
 |
| Look boring but I'll give it a few episodes anyway That watch reminds me of Requiem for the Phantom |
 |
| I like the general atmosphere and the mystery. Choreography is well made. OST is awesome. |
| That.. Was great. Excellent pacing, every scene handled with detail. Usage of literature was functional and did not feel out place or untimely. Great visuals (albeit I'm probably biased in respects to comparing them with recent anime and not that of the early 2000's/late90's). Music direction: flawless—but it's Yuki Kajiura so what you'd expect? Furthermore i'm impressed that after an ep we still know nearly nothing about Kirika or Mireille. Devoid of the typical clichéd back story ubiquitous in every anime today, Noir relies on a more fragmented narrative giving away hints bit by bit. Hope this quality keeps up. |

| Finally started this show. Always wanted to watch this ever since i saw the title and i wanted another Phantom of Requiem like Anime :) Not surprised this was Beetrain since animation wise, it's similar to Phantom. I think it was a slow episode. It kinda jump so fast like how Mireille traveled from France to Japan like that, just because she heard a familiar tune that might be related to her past. Also watching this on BD, shame there's still no blood(WTF really?!). I actually thought they were robots due to some ear piece behind their backs(probably just for communications). I love the OST though. Very mystique and inducing. Surprised this was in widescreen as well!! I thought they would keep the standard screen. Would have love if Cowboy Bebop BD's were widescreen :( Also love Mitsuishi, Kotono's voice!!!! Even though she is Sailor Moon, i love her roles when she's super serious. Kuwashima, Houko's voice sounds too soft and low compared to her high pitch voices :P Can't wait for the next episode! |
| I honestly thought the first episode was amazing....totally drawn into how the story is playing out so far...also the music is also amazing |
| Heyy want to learn about Buddhism?? If so please come check out my youtube channel were I talk about Buddhism and how to use to live a happy life How chanting Nom Myoho Renge Kyo Changed My Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03KNUf3ZA28 How Buddhism helped me overcome COVID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVJru9p8Qoo |
| What....just happened? I'm too intrigued by my inability to describe my feelings for this first episode. It was very captivating and ambiguous. The ost is mesmerizing, this reminded me of .hack with the combination of awkward characters and Kajiura Yuki. I remember seeing the first 5 minutes of this years ago, glad I could find another anime series I dropped ages ago and forgot about. |
 |
| Soundtrack: 10/10 The rest... interesting enough. The music is too good for the directing style... except when Noir was killing those dudes. |
  |
| It reminds me of Phantom |
| Greaaaaaaat first ep. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this anime <3 *-* |
 |
| I'm actually surprised how much I liked the first episode. The music was amazing also the animation was pretty good for such an old show. The killing scene with the tie was just wow. |

gustavomazu said: anyone noticed how fucking BEAUTIFUL this is i mean, seriously. background art had me in awe They don't make anime like this anymore. Older anime looked lived in and detailed. Modern anime skimps on detail and looks very barren and too 'clean'. |
