Noein: Episode 10

Whenever an episode of Noein ends, I feel as if I were forcefully plucked out from immensely good meal. The director sure knows how to utilize his cliffhangers.

Such a bittersweet moment for both Karasu and Fukurou to witness displays of friendship between their former selves. An almost wistful expression spreads across Karasu’s face as he quietly watches the casual banter of Yuu and Isami. Fukurou, on the other hand, saves the pair from Atori’s attack and leaves them with sad smile while advising them to ‘Stay friends”. Karasu’s encounter with the resident psycho dude Atori is an eye-popper yet the magnitude of the confrontation between life-long friends exudes a more electrifying atmosphere.

Whew, is it just me or is this series getting better and better? And I was told I should look forward to episode twelve… Hmmm. As much as I’m itching to watch the raws for eleven and twelve, I’ll be patient and wait for the subs. I believe I’d maximize the enjoyment that way (without the tedious task of opening a dictionary to look for translations ;p).
