My dad introduced me to a book called Frontiers and one of them was between France and Spain and decided to read that first.

I had a dream where I had some Japanese Noir DVDs and they said way more than the English version (like crime families0 and that it had a link to the Madlax universe.

When I heard there was a Japanese typhoon named Mireille and all you can think of is Noir.

I saw an old Japanese movie called Portrait of Hell (1969) and thought about the Noir episode Season of Hell. Funnily enough there's a few parallels like
Spoiler: show
Dead love interest, unable to paint something nice, moral of the story vibe, the antagonist dies after the protagonist
but the movie is quite melodramatic.

I had a dream where I had a copy of Noir 2 but it seemed bad and incoherent compared to Noir, it had all this great merchandise like a shelf, 4 Blu-Rays and games but the anime got the impression of a bad visual novel.

One wonders if MartAnimE has been editing Wikipedia articles again.  ;D

Turning Noir screenshots into fan fiction since 2009.

Nope was reading about some Corsican bands and ended up on that page. Thought it was funny, and of course it's funny that the one fictional character listed is Corsica Nostra. XD

Mireille was probably raised to be quite the little Corsican Nationalist.

You read this: https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/tropical-storm-odette-forms-off-the-east-coast/1018746

And your first thought is “She’s come for Altena and boy is she pissed…”

I had this thought, Noir is not my favourite anime, it's my bible.

You geek out watching "The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?" because the OP is a duet including Arika Takarano (Ali Project) and the ED includes Akino Arai, and of course Ali Project did the "Noir" OP and Akino Arai did the "Noir" ED.


by Demon Kakka and Arika Takarano (ALI PROJECT)


by Akino Arai and AKINO from bless4

A cool "Noir" reunion of sorts and both are great songs (the show is very average and skippable, though, so it's kind of a waste of such great music ;D)
