Just discovered Noir, this series is way cool.

Awesome soundtrack, and positively eerie atmosphere. Now that I've finished Cowboy Bebop, I'll have to start collecting this one...

<font color="cyan">Collecting?

So is it a comic or something? Or a card set? Confused!</font>

Cowboy Bebob is an anime series (a bloody good one!), altough there are also Japanise CB comics as well. I think he's meaning collecting DVDs or video tapes.

Care to tell us more about 'Noir', Krustin?

Yes, I'm talking about video/DVD
- I now have all off the CB series on DVD. (Ouch, cdn$45 per DVD for 6 DVDs)

I'm not sure if this one is available on DVD yet, but Noir is about two women that are the protectors of society. The series is set in France, present day. They get their "missions" through email.

I'll post more as I figure this out. (I've got 2 eps, and getting more as we speak)

As I said, kickass soundtrack, very well done. The graphics are standard anime. (that is, very good but nothing special for anime)

Some more comments: Noir has several meanings in this series. Most literally, it is the shadow of death. It is also the name that the two women use for their assassination "business". It also appears to be a codename for a French Government "special circumstances" agent. It is unclear at this point in the series (I'm at ep 3) what relation this has exeactly to the two girls (one has no past memory at all).
