Full name - Noein: To Your Other Self (Mou Hitori no Kimi e)Haruka is an average girl, living an average life. Or so she thinks. In fact, she is a Cosmic Keystone being sought by the forces of two alternate dimensions, La'Cryma and Shangri'La. Each represents a possible future for Haruka's world, and Haruka has the power to determine which one becomes reality. La'Cryma is a shattered, dystopian place... but there is something sinister about the seemingly serene Shangri'La as well. Which side should she choose?Haruka and her friends find themselves in the middle of a war, with multiple factions and rapidly shifting allegiances. Some wish to protect her, while others will go to any length to abduct her.The anime relies heavily on the ideas and theories present in quantum mechanics, most notably the idea that there are an infinite number of parallel universes, with a new one created with every decision we make. At one point, it also references the paradox of Schrödinger's Cat. For added fun, watch it with someone who has actually studied quantum physics. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Noein / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Due to extensive bodily alterations, the Dragon Knights don't bleed actual blood when wounded, which makes their fight scenes much less gory than they could have been. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Noein / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Noein at one point drapes his arms around Haruka, and also asks her to "become one" with him for the sake of his goals. This isn't helped at all by the fact that Noein is what Yuu became in a different timeline, after being driven to insanity over Haruka's death. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: The "future" shown to Haruka by Noein in episode 22, where she sees all of her friends' lives ruined. In quick summary, Isami turns into a delinquent and loses his eye in a fight, Ai is told her leg must be amputated, effectively ruining her future of being an all-star soccer player, and Miho becomes a depressed Hikikomori due to bullying. The episode itself ends on a high note, though. | |

Body Horror | |
| Noein / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The Dragon Knights' powers involve some very uncomfortable transformations of their physical selves. Atori's power-up mode in particular is disturbing, given how unstable he is. Every time Kuina jumps between dimensions some or all of his body starts to degrade. The longer the series progresses, the more prosthetics and patches he needs to wear to hold his body together. Noein is a goldmine of this—he can transform his arms into Combat Tentacles and his true form looks like Karasu if he were starved almost to death. | |

He was an Ordinary High-School Student until a car crash killed his true love in front of him, after which it's suggested that his single-minded rage alone propelled him to gather followers, take over his Earth, master interdimensional travel and nearly succeed in obliterating everything in the multiverse. By contrast, Karasu is a badass hero, but Uchida's technobabble baffles him. | |

Evil Phone | |
| Noein / int_6841f7f5 | comment |
Evil Phone: In one episode, after things start getting strange, Haruka asks her mother if she's ever encountered anything paranormal, and her mother mentions that her old house phone once rang, even though it was unplugged. At the end of the episode, the same unplugged phone rings again when Haruka's alone, so she picks it up, and realizes the person on the other side is her mother in the past. Haruka's mother is puzzled, while Haruka is very amused by the situation... and then her mother gets disconnected, and Haruka finds herself talking to herself from an alternate future. Her future self sounds so sad, and combined with the advice she offers, our Haruka is left quite shaken up by a vague hint at something terrible. | |

Cynicism Catalyst: Yuu's mother, Miyuki, was hit pretty hard by the death of her sister Emi when they were teenagers. It didn't help that their parents seemed to favor Emi for her better grades and achievements. This is the main reason she's pushing her son to get a good education. There's also Karasu, who, while not necessarily cynical, is so hell-bent on protecting Haruka after seeing the Haruka from his own dimension willingly sacrifice herself to try to keep La'Cryma safe. And finally we have Noein, who...really didn't take it very well after the death of his own dimension's Haruka in a car crash. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Noein / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Noein" is Greek (νοεῖν), which roughly translates to "I think/I know". More specifically, it refers to something that is known, but not through the traditional senses of the human body, only in thought. In other words, an existence defined solely by thought. The Japanese names also sound similar to words in other languages - English, in particular, rendering them as more significant and resonant of the series' themes of self, identity, and interdimensionality. For example, "Yuu" sounds like the English "you," "Ai" sounds like "I," "Isami" (loosely) sounds like "It's me," "Miho" can be thought of as "Me, who?", and though it may be a bit of a stretch, Karasu sounds something like "[of] course it's you." Even Noein appears to be a combination of English and German, "no one." If it were just one or two such names, it could be seen as coincidental, but with so many, it seems these choices had to be intentional. | |

Best of All Possible Worlds | |

Best of All Possible Worlds: Deconstructed to Hell and back. Haruka has the ability to jump dimensions, and spends an episode or two observing possible parallel or future time lines. One is 'perfect' in a Stepford Smiler kind of way, one is seriously post-apocalyptic, and most are pretty average, but after all of it she comes to decide there really isn't a best world, and even if there was, it's really not where she belongs. | |

Artistic License – Physics: Quantum Mechanics do not work that way! Specifically, the entire plot is premised on a complete misunderstanding of what "observing" something means from a quantum mechanics standpoint, which eventually leads to the somewhat narm-tastic scene where one character frantically prevents another from looking at a disaster because, of course, if they "observe" it it will become real, right? | |

Theme Naming | |
| Noein / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The Dragon Knights are all named after birds; Karasu is the Japanese word for crow, for example. Also the names of two of the futures: Shangri-La is a fictional utopia in the novel Lost Horizon (as well as a term for utopias in general). As for La'Cryma, the word "lacrima" means "tear," "weeping," or "dirge" in Latin. Note: Although it seems ridiculous that even the official translation went with the nonsensical La'Cryma spelling as if it were just a random fantasy name, this spelling for "lacrima" comes from the J-Rock band La'Cryma Christi. | |
