Noir (anime)/YMMV


 * Awesome Music
 * Complete Monster: The show plays with this trope. Mireille, by the end of the series, thinks of  as a Complete Monster, actually  However, part of the point of the series precisely is that  is not this trope. The true horror is that   exists to answer the question "is it possible to act like a Complete Monster without being a Complete Monster"? IT IS.
 * Foe Yay: Lady Silvana, aka the Intoccabile, gives Mireille an excessively long (and open-mouthed) Kiss of Death. And beforehand, when they were children, she was very obsessed with Mireille, traumatizing her for life. Her behavior did not seem to be so much of an obsession with Mireille herself, as much as an obsession with domination and control. The kiss seemed to be more about putting fear into Mireille by confusing her and establishing dominance.
 * Growing the Beard: The show improves quite dramatically after the St Petersburg episode.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Oh, Chloe.
 * Les Yay: Complete with the "sharing-one-bed" routine, and the pushed together hotel beds sequence.
 * Much of Kirika and Mireille's prominent actions can be interpreted as such: ( .)
 * In addition to the Les Yay between Kirika and Mireille, there are also significantly less subtle examples between Kirika and Chloe and Mireille and Lady Silvana.
 * Moe: Poor Kirika-chan.
 * Moment of Awesome: Every single episode is basically designed to climax with a Moment for Kirika or, occasionally, Chloe or Mireille. But usually Kirika gets one too just because.
 * Narm: Altena's scene in front of the volcanic vent with her hair and skirt blowing around made more fans laugh than think it to be dramatic as intended and spawned comments of "Octopus!" and parody fan art of her imitating Marilyn Monroe.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Also Nazarov's death in "Lost Kitten."
 * The Woobie: Kirika practically holds up a sign that says "Please Hug Me!!" whenever she is crying. Chloe also gets in on the Woobiedom in the final arc, and even somewhat before that.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Kirika. Holy shit, Kirika.
