DVD Reviews of Noir - Death Warrant (Vol. 4)
DVD Review: Scrap by Scrap
Summary: 5 Stars
Starting out as a compulsive decision to start buying this series, I have found that I have thoroughly enjoyed ever aspect of both the characters and the plot. Perhaps the most impressive feature of this series is its ability to keep structured and well organized. What do I mean? You know how anime is. The action has a tendency to degrade into ridiculous eye candy all for the purpose of "upping the ante" in terms of the fights. But not with Noir. These characters are real. They have the aim, firing ability, and manueverability that is within the bounds of a normal human. Granted, these are special cases with excellent assassin skill, but it is still within the bounds of belief. Even when Chloe, the throwing knife-weilding assassin wearing a cape shows up, the series keeps her character in perspective. In doing so, not only is she mortal, but she is displayed as even more human then the two main protagonists in some ways. When I say that, I mean her emotional mindset and humility. A cold-blooded assassin? Yes. But there is another side of her, one that specifically adores Kirika and Altena, making her age all too apparent. (she's only around 16, and it shows in her mannerisms with Altena)Not only are the characters well-organized, but the plot is amazingly so. There are no confusing elements here, everything happens for a reason and one that is believable. There is nothing outlandish here that is past the realm of suspension of disbelief, which is what usually happens towards the end of anime series. Therefore I am hoping very much that the well-done progression of the story continues in the last two disks and follows after Cowboy Bebop as having a wonderful ending without purposefully confusing the viewer or having stupid symbolic events.
This disk only affirms the conclusions made above. We start off the disk with a nice personality insight into Kirika, everyone's favorite mystery. It seems she has taken up a hobby, painting. But the fact that she is an assassin will inevitably get in the way, and does, leading to a swift solution to the episode. The next episode details even more of Mirielle's childhood, and how she grew up. We meet another of her family members, a charming "uncle" who only wants the best for her. But things, well, go wrong and Mirielle is forced to choose what is most important for her. The dvd finishes with a two-part story in which Kirika and Mirielle recieve a job offer from none other than the Soldats. This leads them to the conclusion that there are conflicting factions within the Soldats themselves, and they warily accept the offer. This leads them to Taiwan where they come into conflict with the Triads, and especially with an expert assassin by the name of Shaoli, and she is an expert at poison. She also has the details on Noir, and sets a trap for them that they can't escape. Will Mirielle and Kirika be able to come out with their lives, even with the help of newly-arrived Chloe? Of course, they are the main characters, but the method of solving the crisis is excellent, to say the least.
