List Of Noir Episodes

The anime series Noir was directed by Koichi Mashimo, written by Ryoe Tsukimura, and produced by Bee Train. It follows the story of two young female assassins who embark together on a personal journey to seek answers about mysteries from their past. While at first they seem to be only vaguely related to each other, there are clues and hints given throughout the series that there are more than meets their eyes. During the course of the series, they are lured into more and more traps by a secret organization named Les Soldats (French: The Soldiers).

Noir initially ran from April 6 through September 27, 2001 on TV Tokyo in Japan and was released on DVD and VHS in 13 compilations, each containing two episodes, by Victor Entertainment between July 25, 2001 and March 21, 2002. After giving hints, announcements, and retractions for almost a year, ADV Films released the series in English in seven DVD compilations, the first containing five episodes, the others containing three or four episodes, between February 18 and October 28, 2003. Prior to that, the first episode was included on the DVD insert of the January 2003 issue of Newtype USA. In Australia and New Zealand, the series is distributed by Madman Entertainment, who released a Region 4 DVD box set containing the complete series on February 23, 2005.

The series makes use of two pieces of theme music. "Coppelia no Hitsugi" (コッペリアの柩?, lit. "Coppelia's Casket") by ALI Project is used as opening theme, while "Kirei na Kanjo" (きれいな感情?, lit. "Beautiful Emotions") by Akino Arai serves as ending theme.
