NOBLESSE Might Be Just Another Pretty Boy Vampire Show, But We’re Still Here For It

NOBLESSE is the latest entry in the ever-growing list of Korean webcomics to be adapted into anime form this year. But unlike Tower of God and The God of High School, which were high-energy shounen extravaganzas, NOBLESSE is all about immortal vampire pretty boys trying to survive high school.

Is the "Madoka Treatment" All Played Out?

Fall 2020’s Talentless Nana starts out in much the same way as any anime about a school for young people with superpowers – there’s a shy kid named Nanao who’s constantly bullied for supposedly being powerless, but when a new transfer student named Nana helps him out with her ability to read minds, he proves himself in front of the others by revealing that he can cancel out other people’s abilities.
