Revision as of 09:17, 3 May 2014
Noir is a 26-episode anime series from 2001 that was directed by Koichi Mashimo, written by Ryoe Tsukimura, and produced by Bee Train. It follows two young female assassins, the Corsican Mireille Bouquet and the Japanese amnesiac Yuumura Kirika, who team up to seek answers about the mysteries of their past, their connection to each other, the nature of the shadowy secret society "Soldats" that seems to be targeting them, and the meaning of the ancient name "Noir"...
The Beretta 34 was carried and used by Kirika Yuumura throughout the series, with and without its removable silencer. Noir is notable for its attention to detail during the sequences in which Kirika is cleaning her disassembled Beretta. Kirika's Beretta is usually carried in her pocket or waistband, rather than a holster. Chloe briefly takes and uses Kirika's Beretta in order to deliver to her 'the last guidance'. Altena later returns it.
Walther P99
The Walther P99 was used by Mireille Bouquet throughout the series, with and without its removable silencer. Like Kirika's Beretta, Mireille's Walther is shown in unusual detail in scenes where she has disassembled the gun for maintenance. Mireille usually carries her Walther in her handbag.

The SIG Pro 2340 is used by the majority of Soldat's Assassins as well as other enemies.
