Despite being a series starring two serial killer in any chapter there is no blood. This is because aired in Japan on TV Tokyo, which has a signature ethical standards, including those not issue any content in the blood to see. Whereupon, they supplied the blood scenes stylistic movements with weapons.

The cable television network Starz was planning to produce a live-action American remake of 'Noir' and that would be produced by Sam Raimi (Trilogy 'Spider-Man') and Rob Tapert ('Hercules', 'Xena: Warrior Princess'). In 2011, the project had got the green light to produce a first season of 8 to 13 episodes. Unfortunately, in January 2013 it was announced that the project was suspended indefinitely.

Noir was followed by two spiritual successors, Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja. Together, these series constitute a trilogy exploring the "girls-with-guns" genre.
