Jormungand

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.

"Jormundgand" has a really strong concept - a lot could have been done with the story of an orphaned boy whose parents were killed in the war, which made him dislike weapons, but as a soldier he is forced to use them.

The emphasis here is on "SHOULD", because "Jormundgand" unfortunately doesn't manage to introduce the viewer to this story well.

At the beginning you get a very short scene of the main character looking dreamily into the sky and explaining his situation in an internal monologue, but then you're thrown straight into the series, which unfortunately meant that I had a hard time finding any interest in this anime.

The characters are hardly introduced, so I'm not interested in them at all apart from the main character.

In addition, it's not clear at the beginning whether there is any plan or goal - that just makes the series boring, because how am I supposed to get into the series if I don't know what it's working towards?

In addition, the characters have an almost laughable amount of "plot armor" - characters whose daily business is killing can't even hit someone from 5 meters away with an assault rifle or shoot out a few car tires.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the leader of the whole group feels a very questionable attraction to the main character, who is a whole 10 years younger than her. She's constantly touching the poor boy and while you could argue that the lady is just very "touchy" and there's nothing more to it, at some point she clearly crosses that line and it's just disgusting. Here too, fans of the series try to argue that this is just meant to illustrate certain character traits of hers, but the author knew exactly what he was doing here and how this all looked like.

All of this is a shame because, as I said, the premise is very interesting. I also liked the character design and the intro song of the first season is definitely catchy, but unfortunately this anime is just bad...

If you're looking for something similar to "Jormundgand" I would recommend "Black Lagoon" - the anime is much better!

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.

Literally one of the best animes 10/10 Poor new viewers don't know about it But if you find it know that you're lucky Jormungand and black lagoon have some similarities no wonder they're both awesome!

Jonah is a child soldier which makes him very unique and Koko is both funny and genius And her group are one of kind, love them all Especially Valmet!

Anyways give it a shot, you will definitely love it at first episode.

Ps: I saw some people complaining about it because of the guns they have... Like wtf?!

Calm down it's just anime those guns won't hurt you lol

Another great anime Psycho pass.

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!
