well, it's definitely not a "bodily love"... not yet at least... more like a platonian romance relationship I guess... something like in Kiddy Grade, and maybe .hack//SIGN...
It's safe to say that Koichi loves lesbian overtone a lot I guess |

Well it's nothing "sexual", but more like "spiritual" and "emotional"... but then how often do we see real "sexual" relationships even between male and female leads in animes (excluding hentai animes of course)? Take for example, the relationship between Van and Hitomi in Escaflowne, there's also nothing sexual between them... Yanagi and Recca in Flame of Recca? Nothing sexual neither. Seiya and Athena in Saint Seiya? Not in a million years
It'd be hard to find real sexual relationship in normal shounen animes, not to mention shoujo-ai animes. I think the best way to describe them is that they are "companions of a lifetime" or something, as in Noir and Kiddy Grade... |

but then there are indeed some suggestive scenes that's open to interpretation for sure... as Fellini posted... |

I just finished watching Noir, and it was simply amazing. The story did progress slowly, but for some reason it still kept me enthralled and I just couldn't stop watching. There were some things that bothered me like the excessive flashbacks, but in retrospect those were built up very nicely towards the real revelation of what happened. The gunfights are a bit cliche (the bad guys never seem to be able to hit anything), but that didn't really bother me and I did generally like the action especially some of the near superhuman feats of agility and crafty moves by Kirika.

And I always think Spoiler:
Still the main plot is imo mediocre at best, especially with the repeated Spoiler:

I mean, if you do that kind of things in real life, you'll most likely end up dead with your enemies laughing over your corpse... about whether everyone knows about it, I'm not sure, I myself don't particularly agree with that kind of logic (or philosophy, or reasoning, or whatever) In the end the only thing it proved is that it's very hard to kill an anime main protagonist |
