I am loving Crunchyroll Orginals: Noblesse
But I must say that there are a few things that are bugging me to no end:
Where the heck is Yuna...?
She was in the Noblesse Awakening OVA, but she’s not in the Crunchyroll Orginal Noblesse anime????? Sure Seo Yuna and Im Suyi aren’t the most important characters in the Webtoon, but they are part of the orginal high school kids group! They got in trouble with Shinwoo and Ik-Han all the time! She is Shinwoo’s love interest without them over complecating the genre. (Can I just say I love how romance is only ever hinted in the Webtoon) And yeah...Yuna had an odd crush on M-21, but I’d rather that be missing than Yuna and Suyi missing all together. I know it’s only a couple of episodes in, but it seems as if the two won’t be characters at all :(
Japan, not South Korea.
I guess I get it...? Like it’s an anime so set it in Japan. Like the setting isn’t making a huge difference to the anime (except are they gonna call the KSA the JSA when they get involved??). The OVA was still set in Korea, I don’t see why the setting had to change from Korea to Japan. It’s not like it’s unheard of to have an anime that isn’t set in Japan. Or would it have been insulting to Japan or South Korea if the Japanese anime of Noblesse (a manhwa) was set in South Korea?? 🤔 This issue also includes the name changes for Ik-Han and Shinwoo. I still can’t remember their now Japanese names.
Regis...
Regis K. Landegre.
You are too tiny to have such a deep voice. When I would read the Webtoon, I’d have a specific voice in my head for each character. For me, Ik-Han especially had a specific voice because I’d imagine his voice to be kinda cute and scratchy. Of course, these voices are in English for me. As for Regis, I’d imagine that since he spoke with such sophistication, his voice would be smooth and then rasp up a bit when he’d lose his cool bickering with M-21. I still cannot get used to Regis’s voice. Not that the VA is bad or is doing a bad job, I just feel like it doesn’t match Regis as a character or body build.
Please let me know if I may have perceived something wrong or if Crunchyroll ever said anything about the stuff I said above lol, I do enjoy the anime very much, but so far from the 4 episodes that I’ve seen, those three things above have been the most bugging issues I’ve had with the anime.
