The term /”noir/” typically evokes images of rainy streets, smoky jazz bars, and morally ambiguous detectives, rooted in the crime film genre popularized from the 1940s to the 1950s. In anime, however, noir transcends traditional genre boundaries, seamlessly integrating into cyberpunk thrillers and psychological dramas. The question of whether noir is a distinct genre with specific elements or a stylistic approach applicable across genres sparks debate. In truth, noir in anime is a fusion of both—a recognizable set of thematic and stylistic elements that not only define its presence but also elevate the complexity and depth of stories across a diverse range of genres.
