Noein - 16
Recap episode. Well, at least something that looks like a recap episode, as there is tons of new information revealed. I keep wondering how the creators of Noein manage to show these huge amounts of new information each episode.
Anyway, we learn the following things:
- The person Haruka’s Father’s working for is an incredible bastard. His role will probably be a big one, later in the anime.
- The battle scene shown in the first episode finally gets explained and we learn how Haruka was found by the people of La’Cryma. We also get a few hints of what might’ve happened to Haruka in the future.
- Noein makes a shocking statement in front of Yuu. I have no idea wether this might be true or not, but if it is, then we’ll be in for some really awesome scenes, later in the anime.
- We still don’t know who the man with the hat is, and why he keeps popping up in different timespaces.
- The Yuu of the current timespace finally manages to say what he wants in front of Karasu.
- Noein is not invincible.
The episode ended peacefully for once. There was no sign of a cliffhanger this time. I believe that this episode was supposed to be the mark between the first and the second part of the series. Some things we’re sure to expect in the second part:
- The truth about Haruka. (duh)
- We get to know what the boss of her father is planning, and what his influence will be.
- La’Cryma also hasn’t played all of their trump cards. They will certainly be coming back.
- The two researchers will probably learn about everything, and try to stop the further development of quantum particles.
- Optional: Tobi’s child version.
- The meaning of that damned telephone.
- The explanation of how Haruka got her dragon’s torque.
u no i z kinda expeting tht Haruka’s dad wz somehow involved n ds dragon torque business something like Full metal alchemist & bleach..
The old man is just a timespace wanderer dunt bother abt him

I’ve returned to this series after being delayed by Real Life.
A lot of loose ends have been tied up - almost as if to hit a pause button before ratcheting up the suspense - which means I’m eager to see the remaining episodes. Hard to see how any other series is as good as NOEIN in keeping the pace while solving a few questions with answers that require MORE questions.
