| I actually really liked the open ended nature of the ending. It kind of fit into the themes of the show and what it was trying to explore. I thought the song that played during the credits was also really good. The ominous, almost eerie tone of it matched well with the dark parts of the show. |

| Pretty rushed ending unfortunately; it tried to do too much in 20 minutes. I wanted to see Jormungand activating and its aftermath. Perfect Order was decent, but noticeably worse than the first half. 6.5/10 |
| dam i want Jormungand live action made by US with Asian chars but R obviously American & scarecrow & chocolate American Lutz maybe American or half American, rest are Asian, cause so far all small live action adaptations made by Jap havn't been that good, either US or Jap, or Jap & Us co-op project & live action series, i just want to see this SH in live action :D & that's about the main cast, or made by Sony |

TheKoopaKing said: Wow, I just read that the anime covered the entire manga so ep. 24 was the true end. I'm cool with the opened ended ending. It's up to everyone imagination to decide what happens next. I thought Koko's black outfit was fitting because she turned into an evil villain. I mean she was willing to kill 700,000 people so she was kind of evil. I'm kinda surprised tho, I thought someone or some nation would try and stop her plan. I thought she would be kill in the end. I wasn't surprised when she turned evil, the author was dropping hints all thru the 2nd season about that. I really enjoyed this series, what sticks out for me was the realism. And when I say realism. I mean the locations, vehicles, geopolitical situations and weapons were accurate depictions of real places and things. I loved the diverse cast and the author's attention to details was nice. Koko was my favorite character in the series. I liked Koko even more when she turned evil. TBH I really didn't care for Jonah. When they were lunching Jormungand quantum computer to space, Kasper said that it wouldn't be the end of weapons. And that he'd still be able to continue on as a arms dealer even if it means selling axes and wooden clubs. Kasper was quite the hustle. I agree with Kasper, Humans will always find a way to kill each other. Well it over T_T... I'm going to miss Jormungand and all its characters. Especially Koko, Valmet, basically all the ladies from the cast. I give Jormungand a 9/10. more like Anti-Hero, what would u do if u have a choice to save 700k ppl or hole world of ppl u would sacrifice the 700k & that's what she did 700k ppl to save more ppl in the long run, to make the world safer, i would even call that a hero, different type a hero, some1 who fight for world peace & achieves world peace is a hero (heroes also have tough choices & who are not willing to make will fail), but that's when it comes to anime, in real life this plan would fail cause what even Caspar said to her (not to mention no space programs that can save our lives in future), but Anti-Hero is worse what u can call her :) @TomDay she said this yes, but she decided to w8 until Jonah gives her hes answer, she didn't want to do it without him about what u said with ferry large letters, yea it sucks we wont see the aftermath but my idea would have been better, to what she has on land there are Robots controlled by Jormungand &t hey don't let war happen, cause Kaspar has a point & she would need that to fill the hole or plot hole or how to call it for what Kaspar mentioned, last words may refresh ur memory, there is always a bigger stick but still 10/10 both seasons cause despite the flaws its well done |

| Not showing the immediate effects of Jormungand really killed the ending for me, you build something up for 24 eps and not show it? really? Smh. Also she really thinks controlling the skies will stop wars? Lmao that logic yikes. 5/10. |

| Wow, what a godawful ending. Honestly gave this second season a try because I missed some good old Black Lagoon anime action but it was kind of a waste of time except some cool moments here and there... |
 |
| Same Idea. Ending was fine and Jormungand is activated. Peace of world start. Jonah back to Koko again. A lot of argument and everything is fine. 8/10 worth to watch. |
| The ending was better than I thought, although the ending here is same as the manga. It was pretty rough seeing the world going into chaos during that two year timeskip but with the increase of weapons and desire for power by many organizations across the globe, it's not shocking whatsoever. Atleast Jonah was able to go back to Koko and the crew, and Jormungand being activated too after two years like that. The ending is an open ending, and ends the same way in the manga with Jonah narrating about travelling with Koko Hekmatyar as she presses the button, activating the project in Azerbaijan. While I would wish to see what would eventually happen with that press of a button, the open ending approach did intrigue me a bit as it leaves it to self-interpretation. Not a great way to complete a story after a 24 episode build, but good enough to still be fascinating nonetheless and not leave a bad taste in my mouth, as it leaves a solid enough amount to openly interpret what would happen in our minds. Overall, I enjoyed the show. It's not perfectly written and starts off a bit slow with the multiple arc approach that meandered a bit, but the arcs themselves were mostly entertaining and I loved the characters the show produced. Even the music was excellent for the most part (although some tracks were too random), and I love the character designs. It was a pretty thrilling show with some real highs and minor lows. I'd give the second season an 8-8.5/10 since I have barely anything to complain about this season, as Koko was fucking great here and the crew was good as usual. |

| The ending felt a bit rushed, I know that it follows the manga, but I think they could have extended it over a couple of episodes and give it a bit more oomph. overall a great and enjoyable ride. A shame they don't do more shows like this. Its either Black Lagoon or this. And Whenever I read someone bashing this show, I go into their favourites and find either the most generic popular self insert shounen shows or magical girl/isekai shows. No wonder they hate it. |

| Not a fan of the ending, killed the show for me. It's just too nonsensical for me to not think about. The writer realizes that both world wars were fought before the internet and hacking were a thing, right? Sure, Jormungand would be a pain in the ass and effectively 'nerf' military technology to pre-internet capabilities, but it would absolutely not stop war. Ships have sailed and planes have flown long before electronic computers existed. The concept that Jormungand can just hack the planet to peace is too absurd for me to swallow. Unless Jormungand can somehow hack the human brain, it can not & will not stop war. It will only put a speed bump on modern war. Taking out Jormungand is as easy as constructing an anti-satellite missile to launch into the path of Jormungand's orbit & knock it out. As long as the missile has zero connectivity, it can not be hacked and Jormungand is toast. Poorly thought out conclusion and ending, 4/10 for this season. I rated season one 7/10. |
| This season went from really good to good then mediocre in the last few eps. quite disappointed 6/10 |
Raizel said: The last couple of episodes were fire. The open ending recarding Jormungand just doesn't feel all that satisfying after all the build up if you're looking for a conventional story. Conceptually and thematically it offered food for thought and it's nice to leave things to the viewer, tho. Kasper was also spitting.This season went from really good to good then mediocre in the last few eps. quite disappointed 6/10 Jonah's character arc on the other hand could've used more focus on him, but the closure he got delivered 7/10 The cast is likeable af, but would've needed another season for a higher score. |

| Kiss was whack but the more I think about it I doubt it was anything romantic or sexual. Seems like she predicts everything and coulda been part of a plot or she is basically crazy. At the end scene she literally did a mad villain pose. But with it being super open ended I don't think anything changed. After Kasper's speech I think everyone is going to stick with their ideals no matter what. Koko still trying force peace, Jonah being idealistic still just placing his bets on Koko, and Kasper and I think the rest of the world will always find new means to fight. Overall this was a great series. |
| Wow. Just wow. That end fucking sucked. Big time. Almost ruined the entire thing for me... Koko became WAY too arrogant. It's not even funny. The fact that Lutz was the only one that questioned this plan even in the slightest was super disappointing. And I really would have liked to hear Lehm's opinion on it. Really unfortunate that this was not given. Killing 700 000 who have zero stakes in the game in the name of "peace". Ridiculous. The only guy who's response made any sense was Mao. It's fair to say a mercenary doesn't care and just does it for the money. The other guys were really kind of weird about it. Valmet was never going to disagree with anything Koko suggests so her opinion was a given. The rest though. And I have to say I never thought I'd like Kaspar more than Koko but that final really drove that home... Kaspar absolutely recognized reality. And in general his attitude was a lot more interesting than Koko's in this second season. Chiquita was pretty cool as well. The assassination attempt at Kaspar in the hotel was pretty fun to watch. Coming to my biggest disappointment of this final episode - even though it was expectable. Jonah just returning to Koko is a fucking shame. He was right to question her becoming a mass-murderer in the name of "peace". So much for R's mention at the start of the season along the lines of "Jonah is the one preventing Koko from turning into a monster". I totally understand him leaving Kaspar's team again but joining up with Koko was sad to see. In the end she got everything she wanted without having to sacrifice anything. |
| Women can do whatever they want, but it always feels like a big loss for me whenever they cut their beautiful long hair. Oh well. IMO, women should always keep their hair long! NUSSR could've happened if Putin won a swift victory over Ukraine. Karen kept her hair long. She's so beautiful! So why did Jonah leave and delay Jormungand for two years? He really needed all that time to think and see how mad the world would become. But! I'm glad this show didn't follow the cliche of former friends/lovers duking it out because their ideals clashed. I'm glad Jormungand was activated in the end, and I'm sure that brought peace to their world to some extent. Also, my opinion of Jonah changed. He's a sensible person, after all. Thanks to that unexpected outcome, my score went up, even though the season ended in a whimper. There are also massive plotholes, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief. |
| Wasn’t expecting the timeskip but the reunion is nice Not exactly the ending I was expecting |

| let’s be real. the plan was retarded and wouldn’t come anywhere close to working. still somewhat more thought provoking than most action schlock, so i’ll give it that. |
| Wait! Don't we get a glimpse of the new world? Kasper is absolutely right though. Closing off the sky doesn't mean humans will stop going to war. War existed before the sky was obtainable to humans. It will however reduce the massive scale of damage. Maybe Koko is counting on humans laziness after they got comfortable with the easy life of modern technology that they would find the old ways of war troublesome and quit. I feel this season was way better than the previous one. I don't feel if it's because I'm already familiar with the setting, or because this season was more cohesive. |
