Noir

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"... This is the first anime of Bee Train's "Girls with Guns" Trilogy (the next two being Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja).
