Is this a case of the anime being better than the manga? Maybe….. It was only about a week or two ago that the topic of adapting a manga into an anime piece after the manga had finished airing was broached in a chapter of one of my favourites Bakuman: in just one page we saw the animation company [...]

Koko is making a sale of SAM missiles, but her buyers are hoping to get purchase more equipment out of her for the fight between Americans and Russians over an oil pipeline.

If we are to believe that Jormungand presents an accurate illustration of the modern arms dealing industry, then we can conclude that the intricate relationship between wholesalers and clients involves frequent gunfights, blackmailing each other, ruthless treachery, and little to no customer appreciation.  We all know an industry as awesome as that could not exist [...]

First off I would like to mention that despite being late to the party to blog this series, this series IMO on face value looks similair to Black Lagoon. As I’m mainly watching this series for the action, so far this episode I thought was better than average, and I can’t wait for the real [...]

Okay, so Hunter X Hunter is hereby dropped. I just have no clue what to replace it with. After watching both Nazo na Kanojo and Jormungand’s first episodes, I think I’m either going to blog Jormungand, or go with a Kaleidoscope. I’m leaving that for next week to decide. The thing is: we really have [...]

I’m on a roll. Thought I should try my best to get these out before the second episodes air. First up is Tsuritama! Where do I start with this one. . . Hmm, well first off, it’s visually gorgeous. The colors are vibrant, the music is captivating, and the characters are interesting, so what could possibly go wrong? That annoying blond kid with the squirt gun, that’s what. Honestly, if I was that red head and I kept getting shot in the face with a squirt gun, that little liver licken’ blond squirt would have a fat lip the size [...]

First of all, there’s been a lot of comparisons between Jormungand and Black Lagoon. All of these comparisons are dumb. They’re nothing alike. Sure, they both have guns and shooting with a cast of zany characters. That’s pretty much where the comparisons end for me, and even the zany character point is a stretch for [...]

Thoughts: Jormungand is a story told through Johah, a war orphan, whose hatred for war, weapons and the governments that use them, has turned him into a mercenary soldier for hire. Jonah is hired by Koko, a young arms dealer to be part of her bodyguard crew and despite being the “new kid on the [...]

H&C Logistics Incorporated is one of the world’s leading shipping companies, with international operations and a bright future… Oh, and they have a sideline in the arms trade. The Europe/African Weapons Transport Division of HCLI is a team of nine mercenaries led by the daughter of the company’s president, Koko Hekmatyar, a cheery young woman [...]

Jormungand is supposed to be a modern day action show, involving arms dealers, child soldiers, and that sort of thing.  These are some weighty issues, I hope that they don’t make this show too much of a downer.  I think Black Lagoon had a good balance between examining the world’s problems and showing unstoppable murder [...]

Weapon selling is exciting stuff. So, there have already been some awesome shows out this season, but I’ve been holding out for Jormungand. It instantly captured my attention, what with its interesting duo of main characters – a child soldier and an arms dealer. I can already hear the cheers of all the feminists out [...]

O-okay, so this was surprising. [[MORE]] The story is better than Kony 2012.   We got an arms dealer who scores in a child soldier (who cares about nothing but hates weapons). She’s also loco over coco (or something like that). We got an army of loose screws. Action. Missions, operations, etc. BOOM! If I had 10 dollars… …for every reaction I made while watching the first episode, I got money to have a domain… or even have a device in which I can type my fan-fictions, etc. offline. Back to the topic,… That’s how loco this series is. It consistently blows me off my socks.   …and this is how loco I was watching the show.   Oh yes, the anime of the season. This is suitable for those who are getting dull with all the anime series he/she have watched over the past few weeks of the Spring 2012 anime season… and still keeps on waiting for a better anime series to come (Apollon, perhaps?). Don’t wait further, here’s one.   Rating: +++  …oh yes, we also have Danboard here.

We’re now getting into the shows that I was most excited about.  First up is drums, guns & fishing…………Sakamichi no Apollon, Jormungand and Tsuritama. Sakamichi no Apollon: Kids on the Slope Loved this episode – thank god it turned out to be just as good as I hoped, I really would have been crushed if [...]

Episode 01- First off, I’ll be a bit honest here and say that I personally wasn’t a fan of this first episode. It might have been how Itou Shizuka was the voice actor for the main heroine Koko, but something about this episode just bugged me. I don’t quite know why either; I mean, the [...]

Jormungand got off to an interesting and energetic start, with a lot of stylish fight sequences, along with a curious, if a little biased look at the underworld of gun smuggling. Based on Takahashi Keitarou’s graphic novel about a child soldier named Jonah, someone who hates guns with a passion, yet must live with them [...]
