「ガンメタル・キャリコロード」 (Ganmetaru kyarikorodo) "Gun Metal - Calico Road" Yes, everyone knows that you should watch Fate/Zero this season. But you know what? You should be watching Jormungand too.

“Her name is Koko she is loco…” Well, I was going to say the music was pretty good, until… that. Still, the rest of the music was good, I particularly liked the African music (?) in the  opening scene. The … Continue reading →

I’ll start right off by saying if you don’t like brutal violence, don’t watch Jormungand; this one is not for kids.  There is plenty of blood, bullets, and adult themes in the first episode.  I promise it is a violent first episode that reminded me a lot of Black Lagoon.  It being the first episode [...]

Our child protagonist begins this opening instalment of Jormungand by airing his hatred for the arms trade and all those involved with it, from the creation of these weapons of destruction all the way through to their use.  It's a hard point to argue, especially coming from the mouth of a kid whose parents were killed by just such a weapon. Why, in that case, is this very same kid teamed up with

So, let me preface my thoughts of this show with the fact that I think that these sorts of modern-day battle shows (if I can call it that) are a pretty interesting spin on things (it’s why I thought Black Lagoon was interesting). The show follows Jonah, a kid who hates arms dealers and weapons [...]

Jormungand has begun, a series which despite taking place in a setting of war, is more so focused towards finding personal answers to questions which have arisen from said war - a battle of both the body and spirit.

Jormungand episode 1: A Gunslinger Boy named Johan with a face so funny I can’t help but laugh when they close up to it, a cheerful, yet serious when necessary main protagonist named Koko (Who’s really cute) and then there’s Valmet…ahhhhh, Valmet. We kick things off with a rocket launch as a poem is being [...]

Jormungand's manga apparently differs from the anime in that it contains quite a few more erotic scenes, and some rather controversial ones at that - a notable example being ero-terrorist weapon dealer shota action.

Morishima…senpai? D: Thus begins the show that just might challenge Black Lagoon’s legacy at following the antics of badass gunslinging Asians. Just might. Jonah is a kid who hates guns because his parents got the wrong end of a steel … Continue reading →

Some people just want to watch the world burn. I definitely didn’t expect Jormungand to get an anime, but I’m glad it did. Looking good so far from the first episode, although the art style might take time to get used to since it’s a lot more… “stylish”. No matter, the action scenes were well [...]

The conversation some of you will have with a friend before watching the first episode: You: Hey are you gonna watch Jormungand? Friend: Yeah man! I mean White Fox are producing it and their work is sick! You: Name one other anime they’ve done besides Steins; Gate Friend: I need to consult [...]

Though not always the focus of scenes or dialogue or necessarily even apparent at times, Jormungand incorporates a diverse assortment of heavy, serious themes.  Throughout the episode, various subjects arose and articulated thoughts and ideas on weapons dealing, assassinations, victims of war and death, among others, from the perspective of the characters.  And in the [...]

Okay that was probably the most action packed premiere yet, the characters were lively and there was enough humor and wits to enjoy. I said I’d only blog three shows, but if Jormungand keeps delivering episodes like these, I may make an exception. But the best part of the entire show was the music, and [...]

Jormungand Short Synopsis: Our lead character is a giant sea serpent who surrounds the entire earth and… wait, wrong story. So, this turned out to be quite a slick action-series with a heavy emphasis on gunplay. It’s got a neat soundtrack and the action scenes are well polished, with quirky humour on top of it. [...]

  Whoever told you that was a good idea should be thrown to the sharks, White Fox. I’ll do my usual week 1(ish) wrapup on Friday after the last 4 Thursday shows premiere. There’ll still be a couple shows left to air, but they won’t be for another week or two after that, at which [...]
