Noir

[Destai]

Whats this anime like? Anyone seen it? Like or dislike???

I've never watched it but Im ordering the soundtracks. Cant wait to see what all the fuss is over Canta Par Me and Salva Nos. Yuki Kajiura ^^

You named the 2 songs I listen to outside of the show. Salva Nos is played practically in every episode. It is like some sort of bizzare requirement.

The series is good. The first half is randomness that slowly builds a plot as the assassins take jobs. They drop hints of Soldats and the sort here and there and it keeps building up faster and faster as the series goes on. It is good but not great.

I thought this was gonna be a discussion on film noir. But it's not. :(

[Lindy]

I second that motion =(

[edczxcvbnm]

That reminds me. The series is not very noir in style...which was very dissappointing because noir makes for some awesome mystery stories.

Never heard of the film noir. Maybe I'll pick up a dvd when I've saved. Anyway ordered three cd's of ebay a few minutes ago. Happy Birthday to me ^_^woooo

I don't know if there is a noir film...but there is a style of film called noir. As in

"I saw Dick Tracy and it was a pretty good noir film."

That is how I meant it.

[Destai]

Oh,I guess thats what Miriel meant. Well I have absaloutely no idea what film noir is.

[edczxcvbnm]

Most noir films are black and white detective style movies. I would say a lot of Sin City is noir style due to the lighting and the detective work that is done by some of the characters. It reminds me of it for like...half the movie. The other half...not so much...if at all.

*is laughing* :D

Anyway, film noir (http://www.filmsite.org/filmnoir.html) is a stylistic sub-genre of detective/crime films.

lol, you can tell im an otaku. I saw the thread title and automatically thought of the anime series, then I thought that it may be of the film style. ^_^. I have a few of the eps, have to find/get the rest havent watched it yet, but it has good music. I hgihly recomend Aka to Kuro. Best song ever.
