File:Nior.jpg Noir (2001)
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 following weapons are used in the anime Noir :
Pistols
Beretta 34
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.
