As for the episode, I couldn't care less for that "fanservice" part... But the second half was pretty good. Still, stupid names such as "Country T's territory X" are really going on my nerves. Get some balls and use a real name, Hollywood does it. Or at least have the decency to make up something more convincing. Not to mention, at this point I really have no idea about the time frame in this anime. I thought it was set in the present, but the Balkan wars ended ages ago, so what the heck? I should know, I live there... Ah, but Hollywod doesn't stray from the approved list of evil countries and enemies (if they did they might not receive all those subsidies and freebies from the military and the state security apparatus). Jormungand takes a much more even-handed approach to geopolitics. And the Balkan wars are not over, just on a seasonal hiatus. Just pray that they don't find oil anywhere on the peninsula... While that is indeed true, the approved list of "evil" countries ain't that far from truth. I mean I know there aren't really any "good guys" in any war, but at the same time, saying that "Country T" was quite bad ain't a lie. So you might as well use its name. But yeah, I do understand the idea of being politically correct, and that's fine. But "Country T" still sounds terrible, cause when spoken in the middle of an episode it reminds you "oh yeah they don't wanna name it" and in that second that thought alone draws you out of the whole story. You go back to the real world. The magic is broken. Which is obviously bad, cause the whole point of any media is to draw you in. So they should have just used some made up name. About the Balkan Wars, eh, while Balkan ain't refereed to as "a barrel of gunpowder" for no reason, the things are getting progressively better. And while the relations with Serbia are still a bit tense cause those old politician bats won't let go of some things, the good thing is that the younger generations simply don't give a damn about what happened in the past, and except for the narrow-minded few, the relations between countries are pretty good. So I think the future seems pretty bright. And as for the oil, meh, like anything valuable like that could be found here... Thankfully. Well, except maybe those "Bosnian pyramids". Oh and another thing, I really don't get it why people refer to Balkan as a peninsula when that one side connected to the land has the length of a half a continent. When you look at it on the map the whole idea looks just stupid. Greece is a peninsula, but the whole thing... Just no. :/ Even wikipedia calls it a peninsula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_Peninsula If you're talking about countries individually, then yeah only greece is a peninsula but looking at the whole land that is considered balkan, it's a peninsula http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Balkan_topo_en.jpg |

| I think even if the Doctor stay inside the plane.The dragon will still open the hatch by force because of the "rumor" that he heard.Those doctor are doom either way. Barume's breast is bouncy ^.^ |
| @Zee530 Oh wow, you've reinvented the wheel by giving me that link. I'm well aware of what Wikipedia says, what I'm asking is- why? Peninsulas don't look like that. The side connected to the land is just freakin' huge and the rest of the shape is weird as well. It just doesn't make sense. If we were to go by that logic half the planet would be peninsulas. But enough off-topic. |
 |
| Walmet´s tatto was cool. A nice epi. I think the nest one will rock... we´ll see... |
| ... |
| Cannot decide whether the lyrics got more or less silly. I was amused with the choice of setting. |
| Too much of a cliff hanger. I think there was also a bit too much 'fan service' and it left out what could have been more content in the episode. Other than that, I kind of liked the dramatic build up. |
| Another good episode. The fan service, though pleasing, kind of didn't fit in with the rest of the series. However, it served it's purpose in the story by showing us this group of hard-nosed mercenaries enjoy downtime like everyone else....by throwing Jonah around lol. As far as the back-half of the episode, it set up a dramatic showdown for next episode. Should be entertaining. |
 |
| A episode beach! I did nott expect this :D |
 |
| That doctors got good intentions but damn its obviously a terrible idea for him to come out like that. I am liking this arc, very interested to see what happens next. Shit was getting legit at the end. Lehm and Chiquita. Wow. |
 |
| Nice episode, good introduction to a new arc. I'm looking forward to the next episode, I want some epic battles. |

Itachi0970 said: MM-Rosiie said: And lol. Fail opening subs on the episode I watched. d3nnyyy said: > we are a killing team > reality and dream Q_Q Those are actually the official lyrics that got released. I figured that as soon as I saw the PV was released to youtube. I agree that the auto-tuning her singing voice did make it a bit more difficult to understand her lyrics. Now they make sense. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| HAHA! wow they are all riped! haha i want to to throw jonah too! |
 |
| Fanservice + bloody ending/action = win. |
  |
| Valmer bikini fan service was awesome and the motion of her muscle body kicking the other guy was nicely detailed. Too bad in reality, muscle ladies don't look even 1/4 as nice as Valmer... This has to be the best episode due to fan serve + bloody action. |
 |
| Although Koko and Valmet in swimsuit was more than enough for me to love this episode, the somewhat ordinary member of the group, Mao, shining was brilliant. The little information about his family and Lehm's past (what a combo they would make with Chiqiuta!) was something I was happy to see, particularly the latter. Not only that, but it also served as a great introduction to the case at hand, which was really creative and interesting to me. Lehm's coolness at the end only served as the icing on the cake! |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| really great episode :3 action, blood...WoW ! *___* |
 |
| some crazy shit there great episode |
| Time for Koko to kick the militia's ass. And also dat fanservice. |
 |
| Dat ending, just showing the dominance. LOL |
 |
| Damn the crew is freaking ripped! Even Jonah has abs 0_0 wow. The end though was pure ownage and awesomeness. Leam has to do his thing doesn't he lolz |
 |
| Valmet have a smokin hot body... but those muscles.. and abs... damn.. fuck! Mao talked about his family... man thats not a good sign.. yeah baby!! love how they ended this episode.. I wanted to see that Mr Dragon cry and beg for his miserable life though. |
 |
| wow... just wow... that Valmet fanservice... wow, she reminds me of someone what the same/nearly the same build as her... Juri Han. That soldier at the end though /cringe. Great episode. |
 |
| Went from swimsuits and beach fanservice (everyone has abs ... XD) to some pretty serious stuff. The view from the airplane nose sure looks awesome ... I wanna see it like that too :O Not to mention some talking about Mao's past and how everyone's different. Didn't expect Lehm to have been married (and divorced ... multiple times) too! :O Not sure if the doctors would've gotten away with hiding considering that Baldrag guy. Pretty brave of Riviere to come out but obviously it didn't work ... it was pretty silly of him to do it though >_< Now that he came out it's just gonna be a battle between the troops ... THEN THE EPISODE CUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT SCENE >_< Guess we'll find out what happens in the next episode ... |
| Why couldn't the doctor just leave it in Koko's hands |
| Oh boy that hard cliffhanger cut! Pretty damn epic, let's see what's next. |
 |
| Lol that 8 pack on that girl :O |

TabulaRasaCK said: the end of the episode was a bit abrupt. was thinking the same thing. ------ i love how a 10 year old boy is like super ripped tho. nice to see him having fun though. ripped women (and over ripped men) set me off, so it was kinda vomit inducing to see valmet. and this is like the first time i have seen nipples on people so that SUPER weirded me out O_O loved the song when they were at the airport, nice episode. but sudden, like i said before. |
 |
| Holy shit Valvet's body *__* also Jonah blushing xD |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Why does 3 females in the show look so damn identical? lol |
 |
| Even in anime about arms dealing there has to be beach episode. Well, shiat gone down at last seconds, I hate these cliffhangers. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Good episode overall. Nice dosage of fanservice overall as the crew enjoy some time under the sun and at the sea to rest and have some down time, and I'm in the few I think but Valmet's is in my top tier of attractive female characters not gonna lie. She's got quite the figure. Jonah being thrown around like a beachball was nice too. Koko and the crew have to deliver artillery as well as sneak ten doctors too as well to the Balkans. The ending was gruesome and intense as fuck, as Koko orders the crew to murder all the Balkan Dragons milita present there. No peaceful settlements happening there for them. |
| I cannot believe I came so late to the Valment muscle body party. What a sexy character design. And then the crazy dissonance with how this episode ended. That was pretty gruesome stuff. |

Raizel said: @Fmmatron +++ULTRA episode. well except the fact how they gonna survive that when they are surrounded. What started as a beach episode turned quickly into the usual massacre. Another day in the office. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Unexpected glimpse of what woulda been a beach episode. The doctor shoulda stayed put. Like good cause and all but naw made it worse imo |
| Excellent fanservice in the beginning. It's nice to see Koko & Sofia in sexy clothing! They are both tappable! The 2nd half is kind of intense, but I already know they can get out of such a pickle without casualties since they are superhumans. I like Dragon. He shoots first and asks questions later. |
