Forum Overview :: Anime Isn't Worth My WAGE^___^ :: Re: Noir isn't worth your WAGE

[quote name="Jhoh Creexul"][quote name="jeep"]<u>Noir</u> is meant to fall into one of the ultimate genres (thus the name), but its tedium and manufactured ennui just does the word a disservice. Don't bother looking at it, renting it, or even reading the rest of this post, the show is just not worth your time. - A story about two chick assassins from Japan killing French Corporate Moguls and their armies of Men In Black clones has never been so boring. Ever. - No shit, it's a bunch of poorly drawn characters who exist solely to be murdered by marginally less poorly drawn women. The stories and dialogue are just shit. - The scenes are manipulative, cheesy and exist solely to sensationalize, like FX's <u>The Shield</u>, but without the "good." - Any one of these weaknesses could easily have been overcome by a little fanservice, but it looks like someone was trying to make Serious Art...and failed. Sorry, nips: no Momo panties, no jeep WAGE. /jeep/ ...I shut it off and I'm going to read Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It's been a long time since I read a book without pictures or code samples.[/quote] Yeah, I pretty much guessed that stuff about Noir after performing the task of LOOKING AT THE TITLE. Sounded pretentious, sounded like it wanted to be meaningful and serious and important and important and more important. Which has like a negative 0 (NOT EVEN A POSITIVE 0) percent chance of happening.[/quote]
