<p>Recently, I started to watch Noir and right now I am on the 10th episode. But it seems that there is a strong connection between Noir and Phantom. Indeed, they have both amnesiacs and they are assassins as well. My question is: </p>

<p>Which anime was influenced by another one first?</p>

Phantom predates Noir by a year, so if there is any influence between them, it'd have to be Phantom influencing Noir.

@Babgen The Phantom visual novel was released in 2000; the Noir anime aired in 2001.
