History Anime / Noein

* ShesAManInJapan: Tobi was made female in the official English version, due to his feminine hairstyle.
** That, and they wanted to avoid implications of HoYay between him and Atori.

* {{Determinator}}: Karasu.

* HornedHairdo

* MoodWhiplash: There are a few, but [[spoiler: the carcrash that killed Haruka and the others in Noein's timeline]] is exceptionally jarring. Probably because it was [[TruthInTelevision realistic]].

* CastAsAMask: English dub only: [[spoiler: The title character is originally voiced by RichardEpcar, until his mask comes off, at which point he's voiced by CrispinFreeman, Karasu's voice actor.]]

* CrispinFreeman: Karasu's voice actor and subject of multiple jokes in the HilariousOuttakes [[spoiler:Get out of my bedroom!]]

* HilariousOuttakes: Much to the English cast's surprise and glee many of their outtakes, ad-libs, and general screwing around was preserved on the official DVD's. Except CrispinFreeman, his were too dirty.

* TalkingToHimself: Karasu and Noein, who are voiced by the same person in both the [[KazuyaNakai original]] and the [[CrispinFreeman dub]]. [[spoiler: Justified when it's revealed that they're the same person from alternate timelines.]]

* TearJerker: The possible future scenario in episode 22.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome Kōriyama beating of Shinohara.
** [[spoiler: Atori's last stand]]

* CrowningMomentofAwesome Kōriyama beating of Shinohara.

**** It's "Ha''roo''ka, not ''Har''uka!

* MeaningfulName: "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.

* MeaningfulName: "Noein" is Greek (νοεῖν), which roughly translates to "I think". More specifically, it refers to something that is known, but not through the traditional senses of the human body, only in thought.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: Said by a twelwe year old girl. A twelwe year old ''RealityWarper'', mind you.

** Also the names of two of the futures: Shangri-La is a fictional {{utopia}} in the novel ''LostHorizon'' (as well as a term for utopias in general). The lacrimal (La'Cryma) ducts are where tears come from.

* Haruka: Main character and MacGuffinGirl, despite those two usually being mutually exclusive.
* Yuu: Haruka's troubled friend/love interest. EmoTeen extraordinare, complete with box cutter.
* Karasu: A FutureBadass version of Yuu from La'Cryma, sent to abduct Haruka but desiring to protect her.
* Atori: An AxCrazy PsychoElectro rival of Karasu, also from La'Cryma.
* Noein: The eponymous BigBad, mysterious [[MaskPower masked]] leader of Shangri'La.

* ArcWords: "Mata yume mita... ano natsu no hi no yume". "I'm dreaming again... a dream of that summer day," at the beginning of each preview.

* FridgeBrilliance: The story isn't about Haruka at all. It's about Yuu [[spoiler: deciding who he wants to be]].
* FridgeLogic: There are an infinite number of dimensions which are produced from every possibility in every moment in time. Central to the plot is [[spoiler:a future event in another dimension which will destroy all dimensions in the multiverse.]] Shouldn't the universe have already ceased to exist? [[hottip:*:To prevent {{Natter}} from reaching critical mass, go to the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoeinDiscussion Discussion Page]] for more detail.]]

Full name: ''Noein: To Your Other Self'' (''Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e'')

* BigBad: The titular Noein.

-->''"I'm dreaming again... a dream of that summer day."''

** [[spoiler: I couldn't tell if Lacrima Ai had a prosthetic leg; she certainly walked well enough. Fukurou does have his left eye closed though, like Noein-Isami's injury.]]
** Haruka doesn't seem to be involved in the bad future at all. Though it's not altogether clear if she just left, or is dead. If it's the latter, it can't be the one leading to Lacryma. [[spoiler: Haruka's death is part of the creation of the reality stabilization machine. Which is what drives Karasu insane about the whole situation; imagine losing the love of your life TWICE to the same situation.]]
** May also count as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since she's the ChosenOne, what she acknowledges is supposed to become reality. So, arguably, if she accepts this as the future, it will be the future. Or maybe that's not how it works, since her current friends are sort of trapped in the bad future as she witnesses it in the present. In Shangrila. God damn, this show is confusing.

* MakeABetterWorld: Noein's goal.
