Ok I'm writing this as I watch soooo here we go!
LOVE the music box gun thing. That was awesome. Ding! Bang! AHHH lol Yes, I am fecked up lol
The answer is 42! Not "a lot" great facefault though! Something tells me they saw/read A Hitchhiker's guide to the gallaxy! AWESOME insert!
ROFL it's good that he knows the bathroom trick. I used that soooo many times. Yeah. Thank you sir! ROFL!
O_o Did Jonah know or something? Do we have another show about a psycic kid? ...Or was he just wanting to see her?
Cool fire fight.
Chuu! Cute blush but he's a little young for you Koko!
Wee fun with flashbacks! And yes, Jonah, there IS something wrong with her... but no more than what is wrong with you.
And when every second counts, the police are just minutes away! But they are only good for cannon fodder... and some modern art using their car...
And... OUCH! That hadda hurt. Me, I think I would be screaming and rolling around or something if I was shot in the leg.
YAY calvary!
O_O Yup. something is definately wrong with Jonah. As in he is suicidal! I am amused that neither he nor the orchastra guy was hit lol.
LOL I am reminded of an old western. He's been lassoed, will he be hog-tied next? Yeehaw! Hog tie that varment Liem!
Nice speech! I wonder if Koko is Mama and Liem will be Papa to Jonah? Cute!
Symphony of Farts!? OMG I HAVE to use that line somewhere!!!
-_-() ...And they let the Orchestra go. Of courst they did. BAKAS!
The way that was translated/he said that it seems that Jonah almost thinks there is a tiny demon in every gun that influences people to do stupid things. NOPE! It's the people that are stupid!
And... we have a kinda cliffy. At least it didn't make me scream at the computer lol
And now I will have "Her name is Koko she is loco I said oh no." in my head for at least a day lol.
I just realized something. It's almost two and there is NO WAY I can go to sleep quickly! I'm too keyed up now!

All in all I can say stupid fucking staff at the studio. Makes no sense why they would do this to drag shit around. Just kill the SOB team to move to other enemies? How hard is to understand viewers would love to see many bad guys to be shot and variations. Don’t drag the shit. I noticed it a lot in animes nowadays.

It has nothing to do with the staff. That's how the manga plays out. If "Teacher"/Shisho were to die during that gun fight a lot of scenes would be cut out. And given that they have been following the manga really well up to now, I doubt that will happen anytime soon. And at the time Lehm was probably more worried about Valmet's injury and Koko escaping, since he knew they would be capable of finding Chinatsu and Shisho eventually.
So you are saying Lehm was more being on a cautious defensive stance than aggressive? Hmmmmm, that's strange cause I though he was wise but also opportunist.

I am a little vexed cause I did not think it would drag like that or at least that it was obvious to kill the enemy. I mean last episode it was so much like that. Well don't mind me. You convinced on more of Lehm's thinking there but I still firmly believe Lehm should eliminated instead of being defensive and Sofia was damn well behind him protected.

Suffice to say, next episode better be thee end of them. They caused so much shit already, I think a death is what they deserve those 2. Although Chinatsu seems dragged into all this.

BTW I am still hopping that the staff is going to put more nice scenes not in the manga. Perhaps even more bad guys. It would play out better TBH.

Yea its pretty stupid to blame the staff for following a script well rather then pulling some anime original bullshit. Maybe the staff itself was quite confused as to why Jonah didn't get hit or the guys didn't die. Either way if the manga had it the manga had it. White fox is amazing in their adaptions and calling it a stupid fucking staff at the studio is highly insulting to the high quality work that they provide. I'm looking at you steins;gate
I was not aiming at the Studio but people that were in charge of this episode. The Studio itself is Genius. It's some people at some times screw up there and I have perfect rights to be angry at them sometimes.

i understand Yumekichi what your saying about Jonah not getting hit in that gunfight, but i take it as a small price to pay for the fact that an animation studio is following the manga for ONCE!

After seeing time and again animation studios twisting or deleting material found in the original manga, (heres looking at you Zetman!) i am glad they are following the "script".

No. Please, anything but this.

Why would he hit Jonah in that situation again? He's using full auto around a riot shield with one hand while getting shot at. There was no guarantee he'd hit. It was certainly probable, but so are a lot of things. This is not even close to some of the ridiculous things I've seen in anime.

As always, all the characters are great. Even the antagonists are fantastic. Not of the opinion that Chinatsu should die; they're both assassins, willing them to die for doing their jobs doesn't make sense.

I felt strange at the scene that Jona attacked shooting at the risk of his life, the guy shot at him with submachinegun, but no bullets hit him.
I think they failed to depict on this point.

On the other hand, that date part of Valmet and Koko was nice to see.
Seems Koko is cordial with Valmet who is an only woman of her guards.

Chinatsu is a real hit-man professional,more better than her master(the shark teeth guy). I wonder does it have anything to do with not wearing pants.
I remember the Anime Saki, there is a girl have supernatural power in playing majong when not wearing any pants...
And also the Anime Nazokanojo ...

I like this week's Lehm lecture during the battlefield .He is so kool >.< .

The only part that look awkward is the part where the orchestra throw their weapon and run away ,showing their back to their enemy. I wonder why Lehm didn't shoot them when he got the perfect chance.. The orchestra should have throw at least a flash grenade or something .

Great episode as expected, though I didn't like this quite as much as the first two. The latter half of the episode wasn't as good as the first half.
The action was intense and nicely done as always, but there were a few stupid details, such as Lehm not shooting when he had the chance, that ate the 'realistic' feeling quite a bit in the shootout.
But in the other hand, the arc wouldn't be able to continue if the assassins died there, so I guess I'll let it slip this time ^^

Either way, Jormungand still seems like the best anime of this season, on par with Fate/Zero! :)

I can't put it into words how much I love the trio Koko-Valmet-Jonah xD There's just too much awesomeness in each of their characters :D

Another epic episode. Can't go without the shooting, explosions and nice shiny weapons. That no-pantsu girl is crazy like hell! She even get excited over the standing up car after she blew it up with her cannon. But Jonah always comes to the rescue to save the day, although this time the rest of the epicness is left for next week :(

Did Valmet get a boobs upgrade? Or were they so big all the time but i never noticed due to lack of awesome clothing like this weeks's? She sure is hot neverthless.
Anyway, slightly less enjoyable than usual, but still a great episode. I like that they're trying to make Jonah more human, would be great to see him changing in a longer run.

Wow that was a surprise, the guys in Koko's team have a screw or two loose but all of them are brilliant. That's probably something of an advantage for the entire team.

Another bunch of ax crazy characters and Chinatsu (I hope she had her panty on this time, LOL) likes Jonah because he's cute and they don't waste a cute kid. Is Jonah really that cute anyway? XD
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

I don't understand this mentality. You openly admit that the manga is imperfect in this case, but praise the anime for following this imperfection. Or, at least, you openly admit that the anime, in the course of following the manga to the letter, created an imperfection itself -- after all, Jonah staring down an AK-47 without being hit would seem less realistic when animated than in still images. So why would you praise an adaptation for not actually adapting the source material to its own medium?

Why are you manga readers so close-minded? ~_~

Because regardless of the flaws and imperfections in the manga, the fact that the anime is following it to a tee is something praise worthy and good.

Most anime tend to stray from their manga counterparts. So far this has not been the case for Jor which is a good thing.

So I disagree with you YumeKichi. The manga has plenty of action and "bad" guys. No need to add more.

Lol at Jonah.

3 airplanes x 14 wheels = a lot.

Hahahaha. Never been so entertained like this in a while.
Love those Yuri moments between Koko and Valmet.

And that kiss on the cheek. Jonah you lucky bastard~

This is getting better and better! Cannot wait for more!

they can even fire machine-gun with ammo placed in the wrong way but well projectile or primer... what's the difference XD
just to add to previously mentioned inconsistencies

Funny how the only one that got shot was Valmet, who was the only one trying to protect from getting shot all the time. Koko didn't care like always and Jonah ran forward the fire. XD Poor Valmet, she's so unlucky. I was rather let down at the lack of police attack. One would think that they would try harder when there's an open shooting in the middle of a street on a day. Also, where the hell were all media? I live in a poor and small country but even here there would be lots of live footage from media helicopter. Especally if they blew up a police car justlike that. Also, bonus points for showing how nuts those guys were. Am I the only one to whom the girl seemed much more experienced than the guy? Funny she actually a newbie in it.

The tactical ballistic sheild that you see in this spoiler is only capable of taking in 500 rounds from an AK47 round. There fore it is not possible for Valmet to get shot after the sheild get's pounded by Jaw's assult rifle.


I might be wrong but I felt that she moved her leg too much and it got from the shield's protection. That made sense to me since she got hit into her knee. Just a thought.

Wow, Jonah can't even handle 14 x 3, thank you for making me laugh.

Nice to see development in the relationships, Valmet gets to go on a date with Koko, Jonah protects Koko, she thanks him with a kiss, he clearly says what his problem is with her (actually, why does this kid not refuse to learn math etc.) and she even likes that, I really hope she will continue that talk. What surprised me the most was Lehm saying Jonah shouldn't get too close to Koko and the team, a hint for future tension?

Music was really good in this episode, too.

New enemies, both are crazy, shishou (was his name mentioned?) believes the sound of gun shots is like music and Chinatsu is the real deal. Those crazy eyes, her wicked smile, saying Jonah is cute and even protecting him, her torture devices, she definitely has lost it!

What made this episode a bit weaker than the previous ones, though, was that really odd shootout, how the hell did Jonah not get hit and why didn't Lehm shoot Orchestra. There is no logical reason for this, were they kidding us. They stick with manga which is basically good but they really should've changed that, there is no way the staff didn't feel weird with this shootout.

Pretty explosive episode. Jonah is still interesting in action as well as out of it. Really liking his development and getting to know more about him and in the context of the others. Velmet is kind of annoying in in the way and really, the Italian police force is pretty terrible.
