Plot Summary
See also: List of Noein episodesFifteen years in the future, a violent pan-dimensional war is taking place between the two dominant "time-spaces" of the universe: La'cryma, a possible future of our own world, and Shangri-La, another possible dimension fifteen years after ours, intent on the destruction of all space and time. The key to stopping Shangri'la's invasion and saving reality is a mysterious object known as the "Dragon Torc" (竜のトルク, Ryū no Toruku?). La'cryma's elite military force, known as the "Dragon Calvary", is sent through space and time to find it. In one possible present, twelve-year old Haruka and her friend Yū are contemplating running away from home when they meet a member of the Dragon Calvary named Karasu, who is a possible Yū from the future. La'cryma believes that Haruka is the Dragon Torc, but Karasu vows to protect her rather than sacrifice her for his home dimension. Other than the Dragon Calvary, Haruka is targeted by the mysterious Noein, the entity behind Shangri'la who is intent on bringing her into his timespace to end all universes.
Noein is set in the Japanese port city of Hakodate on the northern island of Hokkaido. The animators took great care to recreate a lot of details of Hakodate, its buildings, port and environments look exactly like the actual city.
