I like Noblesse and I also like blondes. So I really thought Rael would be my type of character. After all, I do have horrible tastes in anime boys. But nope. not for me. The best part of Rael is really his hair! This said it was a decent episode. Personally, I like having at…

Noblesse ep 9 – Raizenstein
A few days ago my Twitter timeline exploded because of the Supernatural finale and the Spanish version. It was all a big thing. And although I haven’t watched Supernatural in years, I did end up watching this awesome Sarah Z video on it and now I think I’m an expert. Also, this week’s Noblesse made…
Noblesse ep 8 – The Meet Cute
I had high hopes for Noblesse before it started. Just based on the description. I called it exactly the type of nonsense I am here for. But I was wrong. I just like the show. In a straightforward, nin-ironic way. I think every single episode flies by and I find myself looking forward to the…

Noblesse ep 7 – Crushing
YES! This week’s Noblesse was largely back to the school-themed nonsense and it was great! This is what I signed up for. There was still a bit of a serious moment at the end there but even that worked out and was tempered with levity. I physically went into the office for the first time…

Noblesse ep 6 – A House Full of Deres
So far Noblesse has been a wacky school set comedy, a tense supernatural action series and this week, it decides to be a touching sentiment drame de moeurs. Google refused to tell me how to say that in English. I’m a little mad at her now. Yes, Google is a her. This sort of mixing…

Noblesse ep 5 – Delicious Raw Ramen
I’m not gonna lie, it wasn’t easy finding a follow up to the heavenly poetry that was last week’s Noblesse post title. I realize that I failed. But to be fair, it was an impossible task. Still, I think I managed to accurately capture my favourite part of the episode. And it’s something I really…
Are Anime High Schools Better Than Real Life?
This one is going to be a purely theoretical post folks. I haven’t been in high school for a minute now and I have never ever been to Japanese high school but I did attend quite a few different ones in several countries so I have a good overview of some of the basics. Really…
Noblesse ep 4 – Regis! You Giant Bag ‘o Butts
I’m not the deepest person out there. I can be occasionally superficial. No, no it’s true. I know it. Please take a minute to sit down and recover from the shock. In the early scenes of this week’s Noblesse, like in the first 4 minutes, I thought to myself, hmmmm… Tao and Takeo are both…
Noblesse ep 3 – Tech Bros
Alright, it’s been two episodes now and I feel safe with Noblesse. It is definitely not taking itself too seriously. It does weave in more serious action threads but the bulk of the episode remains just silly fun. And I love it. I’m not sure what the fate of the anime will be but if…
Noblesse ep 2 – Frankie’s Long Night
This was a very special episode of Noblesse for me for two reasons. First of all the show seems to be catering to all my whims and preferences. Which is generally how I prefer things and people to interact with me. But way more importantly, my dear friend Foovay and her wonderful hubby are symbolically…
