Jormungand

The first episode there was a strange but balanced mix of casual brutality, dark humor and just a sliver of heart that quickly marked "Jormungand" as something different.

For full disclosure the premise itself was unique enough it sat at the bottom of my queue for months because I had trouble reconciling this fairly serious subject being handled by an anime, but once Jormungand was next I was pleasing to be proven wrong.

The animation style was mirror of the series as a whole, simple and clean and yet at the same time technically perfect when it came to the details that counted.

Not everything was flawless, not every episode had the same depth and some of the stories / sub-plots seemed uncharacteristically outlandish at first (but unfolded interestingly) but as a whole it was a fantastic watch.

Pros:

• Great cast of characters.
• Depth hiding under the action.
• Excellent music and score.
• Above average and consistent animation.
• Surprising beauty at times.

Cons:

• Animation quality dibs a bit in the second season.
• Some predictability.
• The end to the arc needed more than 2 episodes to complete, but I'm biased there.

I like Koko for always having the cheeky smirk on her especially being in dangerous situations and there's Jonah with his not bothered attitude but is a badass shooter all the same.

Totally liked the serious gun action scenes including the comedy. This anime might as well be Black Lagoon's distant cousin regarding its similar assassin topic.

Highly recommend this anime if you are a big fan of the action genre!

I loved the series it was so good and I found all of the main characters interesting and the story-lines of the series were also very good and at least seemed to be well thought out.

My favorite character in this is the protagonist Koko Haktemeyer I found her interactions with her team quite interesting most notably those with Jonah and Valmet (particularly Valmet). Also Koko herself is a very interesting character with her guile and intellect also her accomplices are also each interesting characters also given their backgrounds.

All in all this is a great action anime and a must for any action fan!

This is an anime by my heart amazing action likeable characters that are bad but had some good parts to them. Just morally grey characters all around.

This is one of those stories. I can only really think about being shown in anime because this would maybe get censor of would be made to a different thing which would have been weird but I like the little child soldiers journey through the world with all those weirdos and coco.

I mostly just absorbing watching it. It is so stylish and had so much personality and just fun all around some , deeper themes about reality and war and in the last episode I realized what the f*** kind of world is this I just thought it was our world, but this is like all our world problem on turbo mode very interesting.

You can enjoy this anime on two layers the first is the characters and the action and the second is philosophy and deeper meaning which to my friend was the best part, for me it was the first part so I would recommend this wholeheartedly.

The entire anime builds up this really cool concept and at the end it all feels rushed together. Like I've been in love with this anime up until the last season. The ending makes no sense the characters developed backwards at the end and no gratification comes from watching the last episode. I quit watching the moment they changed the main characters motives with no proof he would go that route. I genuinely am so disappointed that the coolest gun anime I've seen in a while was written in a way that shows the dark side of the world like Black Lagoon. Black lagoon however has a great story start to finish. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
