Noir

Dark and complicated plots would probably be the first similarity between the series. Wonderful soundtrack composed by the same author is another reason to see both series. Same animation studio, action genre and character design are yet another aspects connecting the series together. Last, but not least, bothe series revolve around almost untouchable female leads.

The two shows are obviously very similar. Both center around a search for the past, in the midst of assassinations and other things involved with the criminal "underworld." Noir and Madlax also have top-notch soundtracks and animation, and are overall extremely well-done products. These two shows are some of the most worthwhile watches around.

Now this is an easy recommendation to make. I barely know where to start... The similarities between "Madlax" and "Noir" are many and obvious. Both series feature female assassins, a dark complicated plot, a search for the past (or a search for oneself if you like), larger-than-life mystery in which a powerful hidden organisation plays a major role, and these are just the most important similarities. In fact one of these series' weaknesses may be that they're almost TOO MUCH alike, as I at times experienced deja-vu while watching. Even things such as atmosphere and music (which is great) are similar in both. Also animation style, directing and character designs resemble each other. I'm quite confident that if you liked one you'll like the other.

How could the two of these not be recommended for each other? Not only are they both Beetrain series (and seemingly carbon copies, but not once you get into it), but both have the same composer for the music, which gives the same haunting melodies. Not to mention the plots are extremely similar.. mysterious girls with guns, anyone? Granted, the plot of Madlax is remarkably more political in nature , but i still can't see why you'd like one but not the other.

If you liked Madlax, you'd like Noir because, well, it's basically the same anime. Everything including the music, the animation style and the characters are so much alike that you will have a feeling of deja vu throughout the entire anime.

Both series are from the same Studio, Bee Train, and have the same exciting story. So if you liked Noir you will love Madlax. ;) And of course if you saw Madlax, you'll love Noir too. ^^

Madlax and Noir are from the same creators and it's hard to let that go unnoticed. The flow of the series, the main character's skill and the wonderful music in one reminds you of the other. Don't worry though, the story itself is different. ;)

Noir and Madlax are the first two series in Bee Train's "girls with guns" trilogy. Unsurprisingly, they have an awful lot in common. Both have plot threads related to amnesia, questions about the deaths of parents, and a conspiracy involving some underground criminal organization. They also both feature music by Yuki Kajiura. However, there are also enough differences so that you won't feel like you're watching a total clone; Noir is very dark and set in Europe, whereas the colorful Madlax takes place largely in a South American jungle-type of setting. Also, Noir's protagonists are together from the start while in Madlax they don't meet until some ways in. There are other differences, but suffice to say if you liked one of these, you should still find the second to be of interest.

Madlax and Noir are similar in style; both have a gripping underlying story. These series require some philosophy to be enjoyed to their fullest but will work for a "no-brainer" anime night.

In all important aspects, Noir and Madlax are essentially the same anime. They have the same themes, the same action, the same everything really. If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

It is the same mysterious feeling, music and a women carrying guns! Like always I guarantee you that you will love it as I did

Apart for Madlax and Noir both being part of what the Bee Train studio calles "Girls tih guns trilogy, these two titles have more similarities than differences. Two young girls with an uncanny bond that links their fates together, a cast of various other female characters some of which or most of which exhibit a strong attraction to one of the two main protagonists, an evil shadowy organization that has a European name, misterious past and amnesia of the lead characters, acrobatic gunfights accompanied by music composed by the same author. SO if you liked Noir but want a more "supernatural" twist, give Madlax a try

Noir and Madlax are very, very similar. It is apparent that they were both created by the same group, BeeTrain. The shows look the same, sound the same, and share the same themes. Both of these feature gun weilding assassin heroines who must discover the truth while fighting against a secret organisation. So, if you enjoyed one, give the other a try.

These two animes have so muchin common it's hard to know where to begin. There were made by the same studi, they both have music from Yuki Kajiura. They are so much alike and give the same feeling while watching and yet it doesn't feel like watching a copy of other. If you liked one, the other won't deceive you.

Both series are made by the same team (Bee Train). They are part of the "girls with guns trilogy" and both have a great soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura.

Madlax and Noir are like siblings, and sisters at that. They both feature female main protagonists, who are incredibly skillful with guns.

Both stories share the same cliches of uncovering the past of main characters, but it is done in a subtle non-obtrusive way and the final product is well worth watching.

Finally, if you are an anime music lover, these shows are boasting amazing soundtracks by Yuki Kajiura.

Girls with guns. Girls who are very proficient with guns. Girls who are excellent assassins. Taking this overdone premise, and setting it in a darker world with a slightly more fantasy twist, these shows have an equal helping of story as well as the inevitable gun-toting action.

Although in both Madlax and Noir the ending isn't as strong as the buildup, I still think fans of one will love the other.

Madlax and Noir are similar in the way that the main characters are gun totting females. The main characters have a mysterious past, unclear to themselves, that explain why they're so crazy good with guns and how they got into the lifestyle. The animes are serious with plenty of action, and take on a bit of military style. Madlax and Noir, the titles of the anime and the main characters, have characters that are following/wondering about them and have a connection to their pasts.

While Noir and El Cazador are not a sequel/prequel of each other, they are both made by the same team and share the theme of "girls with guns". If you like the animation, story and music of one of these series, you will definitely like the other one.

As far as differences, El Cazador is quieter and less action-packed, and Nadie is not a "superhero" like Mireille. Also, Ellis looks more lively than Kirika.

Both of these anime have the same theme: girls with guns. You also get the same feeling from them, and the music is quite similar (both are done by Yuki Kajiura)

In Noir, the girls earn their living by killing targets as assasins, and in El Cazador as bouty hunters. They're not the same, but still quite similar. The girls in these two anime are always in danger and must fight against many foes, using guns as their weapons.

Both Noir and El Cazador were created by the same team and have the same theme: girls with guns. Once you watch one and pick up the other, you'll see the similarity.

These two anime both feature two heroins attempting to understand themselves so as to better understand their futures. Most importantly though, these two shows are part of Bee Train's, Girls with Guns trilogy. The two shows, more in Noir than in El Cazador, the two females must look within to decide whom they wish to be and if they are willing to fight for those identities. I strongly recommend one if you have already seen the other.

Both series are made by the same team (Bee Train). They are part of the "girls with guns trilogy" and both have a great soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura.

The similarities between Noir and El Cazador are vast, yet fresh for each series (perhaps because of the animation, not sure). Overall each series is episodic in nature with final goal in mind, it's 2 women in a senpai<->kohai relationship, with the younger having stronger latent abilities than the senior, and last, but not least, the music. If you like the action/drama musical score of either series, you'll love it in the other. It compliments both shows quite well for their episodic nature.

Both shows have the same makers and the same theme in mind, girls with guns. Two female protagonists are on a journey of discovery, gun in hand and mysterious foes doing everything they can to hinder them. From the animation to the music and to the bloodless violence these shows fit into each others shadow like a glove. The only difference worth mentioning is that each show strived to reach a different flavor, this they certainly achieved.

Similar to Noir with its fluid martial arts and gunfighting, both of an intriguing plot that completely justifies the amount of violence. Must watch.

Sort of a similar cool style, and you should enjoy some of the mystery that is slowly unraveled.

Obviously both series are based on the same jobs, professional killing. Noir has a team of two, one a freaky inate killer girl the other the pro with more experience. Cowboy Bebop has one guy who does most of the killing, but also has a team for backup. Both series reek with style, especially CB with its great music. Whats great is they both dont just dwell on the story of their Job, but there is an underlying story based on their pasts to make the series even more interesting.

These two shows have a lot of things in common. On top of the obvious similarities in being heavy on action and based around bounty hunting, both shows have many similar themes. The characters in both shows are highly realsitc, and the plots are very deep, emotional, and just plain great. These two shows also have exceptionally high-quality soundtracks and very dark, realistic, and fluid animation (though, oddly enough, Noir has very little blood in it). People who like either one of these two almost invariably like the other.

The girls of Noir and the motley crew in Cowboy Bebop both serve as guns-for-hire to bring criminals to justice... legally or otherwise. While Cowboy Bebop tends to be a little more light-hearted than Noir, both are well done with beautiful soundtracks and intriguing stories.

Although Cowboy Bebop is blatently in space and Noir is not, both of these series have a similar theme, and plot even. You will like the shooting up everything with guns and charm. Also individual missions to take on to make money, or get one step closer to the truth.
