Mireille Bouquet (blonde hair) works with Kirika Yuumura (next to her) as assassins. They are highly skilled and take jobs from anyone requesting their needs via internet. The first few episodes simply show them taking on different missions. Then we find out there is a group who is testing them - Soldats. The 2 then try to uncover who they are and what their purpose is. The Soldats speak of Noir which the 2 have little idea what it means even though it's their team name. (My favourite character) the mysterious Chloe (purple hair) knows alot about Soldats and Noir but will not reveal everything until the time is right.

hmm.. this anime seems interesting. From just looking at the pictures, it doesnt seem very good- but you never know until you watch it, right? ;D
The themesong is kinda scary.. it gives me an uneasy feeling.

there's alot of shooting and... killing... although there's really little blood (lucky) Each episode starts off with a character (mainly Kirika) saying some strange chant about Noir - I guess you're meant to slowly understand it as you watch the epidoes, as for me, I understand abit more about Soldats and Noir although not completely, probably need to watch the anime once more. Noir is known as a team of 2, which is why Mireille picked the name when working with Kirika, but as we know there is a deeper meaning... Near the last few episodes it gets very interesting and suspenseful as past clouds and secrets are revealed, there are a few "shock" moments where you discover something very important that changes everything... yes... My favourite character is Chloe because she is the one who gives hints about Soldats and Noir : in her first few appearances she says that she is the "true" Noir. Chloe is not really a villian or hero... (at least I'm not sure) but it's certain she's a main character (not as main as Mireille or Kirika though I think) Chloe also fights with real style and flawlessly - using knives instead of guns. Kirika and Mireille are too scared to even try to attack her whenever she appears - Mireille much more frightened by Kirika. Her voice actoress is Hisakawa Aya, the voice of Skuld from Ah! Megamisama... just as a bit of trivia a BIG one Chole in the end while trying to kill Mireille, is stopped and killed by Kirika instead (yes, I was sad)

This anime sounds interesting. From the pictures I seen previously, I thought ‘Noir’ was a type of action –blood-and-guts- series, with the two leading characters as cops solving crime etc. I like the sound of them being assassins. So, do they work for anyone? Are they doing it for money or do they have a sense of doing the right thing? Are there any main guy characters? Sounds like you really enjoyed it Belldandy.

Ah, this anime's sounding better and better.
I'm asuming it's more of a serious anime than a funny one, right?

The 2 work for themselves, they aren't exactly good either... they basically work for anyone who emails them... one time Soldats hired them.... they took it to try and find out who they were but didn't get much... Don't think there are any real main guy characters yep, certainly serious

ooo I got to watch the final two episodes of this the other night!! I MUST see the rest of the series!! But I don't know anywhere to download it, the only bit torrent sites I know are Anime Suki and Torrent Reactor, but neither of them have it anyone know where I can get it?? This is an EXCELLENT anime!!! The themesong is.... amazing! I have been singing it all day!! Noir has what must be the best soundtrack to any anime!! Chloe looked a bit evil... her eyes...

Yeh watching the last two eps really kills all the myster behind the Soldats but it's still very watchable reguardless, just to see the way Kirika and Mirelle interact as well more meaningful one shot eps. Chole's just the best though. She really peaked my interest when she appeared in the series, and also who doesn't like a good ol yuri love triangle! I sure do X3 Needless to say I was upset at the outcome in the end of the series. I never did quite like Mirelle's character even though she's a key figure. Kirika was really likeable with her super-cute leathal weapon stuff, like a bunny strapped with C4 but Mirelle just didn't seem to have much appeal next to the other characters. But I suppose every series needs a 'normal' person or the other characters won't flesh out as well.

I guess Kirika is the most normal person out of the three. She wouldn't have known anything about this Noir business and Soldats if Mirelle didn't show up. What's a yuri love triangle? I still say Chloe is my most favourite character even after what happened. (I still find it hard to believe it happened, with her skill.)
