how this fucking manhwa can get so many fucking 10-9 is a fucking mystery to me. now dont get me wrong, i do like this manhwa but i just do not think that 10-9s are appropriate for this manhwa. i will keep this review VERY short and mostly focus on how they handled the plot which means i cannot go too indepth.

story: interesting enough. not what i expected but the way they executed it is fine enough.


plothandling: ... no. the problem with noblesse is that its prolly one of the most repetitive manhwas ive ever read man. every fucking arc it goes like this: some ... side characters visiting the mcs school come visit the mc to play with him, side characters are feckin weak and have to fight against strong enemies, mc and his goons come to help, they realize just how strong mc is, another vampire joins the merry bunch, mc is being glorified as a sad and compassionate being, everything goes normal again, *repeat, but enemies go stronger and stronger and mc is fucking near death for like 17239812739812371298 chapters but still manages to defeat the new enemies every fuckin time*.


characters: noblesse is carried by many interesting characters but damn is the repetitiveness strong in this manhwa. it even pulls it strings around the characters who literally always do the same thing over and over again in each and every arc. this doesnt mean theres no character development but when i say it i really do mean it. they literally do the same each and every arc
art: wow

repetitive is the right word for this manhwa and with this, even if it has a decent presentation of feelings and characters etc. i dont think this manhwa deserves a 10-9.

Oh boy, where do I even begin?

The heroine can memorize pretty much everything and the whole cast of characters are stereotypical and superficial. But for real though, the heroine of the story is just such a garbage mc who knows everything and barrages us with explanations noone gives a shit about. While I do not particularly despise explanations, this one is on the bad side of explanations.

The premise of the story isn't original but not too bad, but the way how everything has been set in motion feels just so forced because the characters jump from one tense moment to another.

The action is fine enough ... for a shounen manga I guess but some readers might find the unnecessary amount of ecchi to be a huge disconnect to the manga. I don't particularly mind them but I nontheless still think that it doesn't really help raise the quality of the manga.

The art is decent enough.

TL;DR
Oh boy, a manga where even the scanlators can't take it serious is saying a lot already and tbh that's all I wanted to write for this review.

Garbage.

Actually just this one word sums it up really well which is why i initally only wanted to give out a one word review but MAL guidelines are like: nah tell us why you liked or disliked this anime. So here is a short +- list for this movie and a little more.

So. Dont get me wrong, Date A Live is one of these few harem anime that focuses a little more on romance instead of comedy (like for example D-Frag which heavily focuses on comedy). Besides that its one of these few harem anime that I really do love even if they might be ... a little shallow and generic, because the anime was fairly well executed and the characters were lovely. So therefore I had some great hope in Mayuri Judgment, but this movie was a goddamn disappointment. Why it was disappointing? Well...:

-it felt more like an OVA instead of a movie ( e.g.: only 2 minute long dates, only 1 minute long appearance of origami tobiichi, not much of a movie atmosphere/feeling, ONLY 10 minutes of the character which the movie was named after?!?!?!?)
-because Date A Live is a more romance focused kind of harem anime, the missing romance is neck breaking for this anime!! while some kind of intimacy is shown between the spirits and the main character, it never goes beyond the good friends border! it simply felt like the producers were too hesistant to show the true deep bonds and feelings of the spirits to the main character to not upset the fans of each responding character. as a tradeoff the true needed intimacy is missing and the strong points of the anime just drop off
-the namegiving character was just a freaking short cameo. like seriously, while having 10-15 seconds of screentime throughout the whole anime at some points, she only had like 10 minutes main screen time at the end of the anime which is really goddamn bad.
-at the end of the movie the producers tried a bit too hard, to bring the feelings to the viewers which makes it a major disconnect to the story
-scarce explanations which might possibly not clear up any confusion of the viewers

all in all it felt like the producers were just too hesistant to make up a good anime. instead they put in all their money in the surface of the movie without providing much content. at least the surface had their good points though:
-okayish music
-good animations
-nice character design of mayuri
-REALLY shallow but bearable (average garbage)
-while DEFINITELY not well executed, fair premise story i guess?
-while she had not much screentime i guess they made mayuri fairly likable to the viewers? (At least I would have liked to see more of her but that might just be my bad taste speaking for me.)

in conclusion what i really wanted to write for this review: garbage

p.s.: im really struggling with the overall score because MAL says 5 is mediocre while 4 is decent but saying this movie decent is a decent amount too much praise. but 3 is poor and 3 is too hard while poor is a good word for this movie. so basically imma just rate it based on the score i would give out.
