well, it's been a while since I asked this question, so I'd thought I'd ask it again. Anyone heard ANYTHING about more Noir. A movie, a second season, a manga? I loved the series, and was kinda sad when it was over, that there wasn't anything more. Anyway, anything else would be appreciated.

hmm...well, I personally haven't heard anything about more Noir. I think the 26 episodes just might be it.

Sure, there's more Noir. Its called ".hack//sign".

Seriously though, about Noir...

It seems like its popularity in Japan was quickly replaced by fruits basket and then subsequently forgotten with some of the newer series.

I remember wondering something similar but I forgot if the answer was "no" or just no reply at all. Either way, I wouldn't hold my breath for any new Noir. Theres no place for the series to go, and nothing to hold it together that would warrant making something else.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it were made into a game. Remember AD Vision's annoucement a couple of weeks ago of looking at possibly licencing out various anime titles, Noir included. (Link: http://www.animeondvd.com/news/archives.php?datearch=0902 - Scroll down to Sep. 20th.)

I think Noir could easily be made into a FPS or a TPS. Question would be would it be running on a id-based engine (Quake III Arena or Doom III), an Unreal engine, or a entirely new engine. Or, for that matter, PC or console.

Don't forget the Lithtech engine, official engine of cheap and crappy license driven games!

Noir could be made into a game, but why bother with the licensing fees? If it was made into a PC game, it'd probably be made here, and its popularity is too low to warrant paying for a license. The Idea is basic enough; school girl + french babe w/ guns shoot suits. The idea sells itself; it'd be money better spent towards developement costs than a license.

If it was a console game, the Idea might float, but many of the biggest fans of the genre have particular aversions to the games on console.

I like first person shooters. I grew up on PC games though, I'm a PC Gamer forever. But I just got my first console, a PS2, a few months back, after my friend gave it to me. If they release anything else for Noir, I'll be sure to get it. Noir pushes all the right buttons for me, girls, girs with guns, explosions, killing. w00t, I am happy.
