I didn't even bother watching more than the first episode and I sold the R1s I bought.....

How can you condemn a great show like Noir based on seeing only one episode? The show is a little slow-paced at first, but actually has a very intriguing storyline that appears around episode 9 or 10. If you watched all five episodes on the first dvd and still didn't like it, I could understand. For the record, I loved Noir but disliked .hack//Sign, but I managed to slog through about 10 episodes of .hack before giving up. Anyway, for everyone else out there, if you like your show to have both style and substance, watch Noir.
