| holy crap, that was an intense episode. I like Karen glad she survived and hoped to see more of her.. but Valmet is badass as usual.:D Loved how it ended too. I'd vote 9/10, my vote for anime of the year. :0 bring on 2nd season! |
 |
| Very good episode and anime. Though, I have to admit many stuff felt stupid (Koko's team never getting real wounds or showing exhaustion or having real trouble during fights and lack of a more complex story) it was still a nice run and I look forward to the next season. I just wish they would make more realistic fights. 8/10 |

| I want a second season D: ! |
| Loved Koko's Door Fu there, LOL, quite the hillarious way for her to take someone out. And then that epic car chase with the face-to-face shootout, totally killer. Set to the "Her name is Koko, she is loco" song no less! Was disappointed we didn't get to see Shaojiang's last battle with Valmet ... I don't imagine it was brief, though it doesn't look like he got so much as a single hit on her so maybe it was a two-stroke battle (the one we saw and the killing blow). Then the cycle of revenge comes round and Jonah is left as the only one standing ... until we find out that neither of the chicks died. This show is seeming oddly like Bleach, no major character ever seems to die, especially on Koko's team. Even the team of quirky assassins survived to start their restaurant ... hope we see them again in season 2. :) The bit with Bookman/Saw and R at the end seemed really random, but was clearly a cliffhanger for season 2. I hope it airs soon, I really enjoyed this first series. One of the more unique shows around, it definitely had a seinen-type feel to it (kinda like Black Lagoon, but with a less psychotic female lead). 8/10 |
| Definitely a good ending that's leaving me to beg for the second season to come soon! In fact, seeing the amount of characters involved in this anime, I actually thought that this was going to go on for 26 episodes. However, as soon as I watched this episode, I became a bit saddened to know that this season went on for 12 episodes, but still, it was satisfying. |
| to be honest? for an season ending episode this episode wasnt so good,anyways,I give the show a 7. |
| Wahhh, I completely forgot about R! Damn you manga, you're so full of spoilers T__T Good thing the next season already started airing! |
 |
| Love this show, can't wait for more! I thought Sophia was dead there for a minute. |
 |
| Great first season, story/concept-wise nothing great but characters, action and the OST sucks you in :D R is a traitor??? >:O Also hope Boss Dominique and gang comeback ;) 8.4/10 |
| Very enjoyable first season, looking forward to the next one. =p |
 |
| I made a panorama shot of the uncensored part but it came out bad, the first frame is darker and I can't get the background right, direct link to it in spoiler. About the episode, I liked it over all and will give it a 9/10. Also I will watch S2. This anime surely is a memorable one, it was more entertaining to watch it than taking screenshots for here. :) Edit: the pic was taken down :( |

| If season 2 wasn't already out, I'd be really pissed with this ending. Although I like Valmet, it would've been a way more powerful ending if she had died protecting Jonah and he killed Karen. Whatever though, still had fun with it and Koko is awesome. 7/10 |
| so gg |
 |
| What the Heck! I almost cried when Velmer was shot! Glad that they shift the scene right away! Shames! I thought? OMG! The first to die was the girl! Thanks to Soldier Boy "Koko's Jonah" Hahaahaha. Oh my Gaddd! This went up to my Top List of Fave Animes! GAAADD! I love KOKO! 10/10! now, off to season 2! <3 Her name is Koko. She is Loco. I said Oh no~! |
| damn I thought Valmet was gonna die... and that ending... |
 |
| This was a good first season but honestly how do people not die in this anime when shot with so many bullets? A little dumb if you ask me. |
 |
| Adeeb or "اديب" doesn't mean "Man of Letters". it's mean "Author" or "Writer". |
| damm! i was hoping so much for velmet to die at the last |
 |
kusushi said: Hakkaa Päälle! This,.. epic! And it sounded so much better in the dub. Jormungand is now the third anime series I've watched in dub rather than sub, and I don't regret it. |

| Holy smokes Valmet, you are the beast. That moment with Karen flipping out and shooting Valmet towards the end was really powerfully executed. That chubby guy at the end is a freakin' tank, wonder how he plays into the next season. Overall this has been lots and I mean lots of fun. I can't say it goes beyond that too much but that's all it really needed. At first I felt the comedy was a bit poorly timed but I can see how Koko's joking around would help her maintain her sanity and humanity in that line of work. A solid cast overall (especially the absolutely insane women) and I thoroughly enjoyed this action packed adventure. Although thinking about it now, I don't mean to write off Jormungand as mindless hollywood action. It's got that which is great, but some of the themes it deals with concerning the arms trade and the impact weapons have on the world is intriguing even if a bit exaggerated at times. Koko's goal of world peace combined with her arms dealing reminds me of the play Major Barbara, which is about an arms dealer who believes that his line of work will lead to a better future. This series doesn't quite go the same route but exploring how an arms dealer stays neutral in his or her trade is similar. 8/10, going straight to the sequel for sure. |

| Koko's pose when she hit Lily was hilarious. Man, i was so sure she died and was ready to flip a table, then it turns out she survived... unrealistic after being shot that many times but what the hell, she survived... thank the lord. She's a monster though still being able to work out after that. I guess the guy at the end is an important person in the next season. 9/10 loved it from start to the end. Hopefully Perfect Order is better. |
 |
| Another super fun episode. Ugo manages to survive, and Liliane and Greg get taken care of. Car showdown with Dominique was pretty funny XD Looks like they managed to get who their client was out of them after all ... that's Koko for you! Big part of this episode was Valmet finally getting her "revenge". Lucky for her Jonah was able to shrug off the effects of the drug and save her life with that sniper. She was pretty legit going and knifing everyone ... shame we missed the "big battle" though :( She and Karen both survive being shot huh ... I guess nobody really dies if they have names in this anime XD Oh well, it's good that she's always welcome with Koko and so is Jonah too of course :D Seems like R and that Black person have some history ... this is exciting! What a cliffhanger ... if the second season wasn't already out that'd be so annoying lol >_< Anyway overall, I was definitely not expecting to enjoy this anime so much! Great action sequences paired with killer music = super fun to watch :D Plus the characters were all really cool too, though I wish we got to see more of their backstories (which we are slowly being shown I guess). Also sometimes I don't remember everyone's names because there are so many people lol >_< A great surprise though, I'm only a little angry about that cliffhanger but luckily I've already got the second season ready to go! :P 8.5 would be my rating, but I'll be a little generous and round it up to a 9/10 :D EDIT: Remembered my general rule on rounding down. Sorry, I'll be changing this to a 8/10 :P |

| Pretty solid ending of this first season, looking forward to see what the second season will offer us! |
 |
| Holy shit!! Valmet absolutely OWNED this episode. I was wound up tighter than a fat woman in a corset when I thought she had been killed!! Karen Lo should have died and been placed under the ground with the boss she loved so much. I'm actually surprised she didn't kill Valmet while she was sleeping in the hospital bed next to her. |
 |
| The fact that they were in the same room at the hospital room was great. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Not just a woman .... I guess they figured it out at the brink of death ... Trying to drug Jonah but still he managed to realise what she was planning and faked it and helped in the end. |
 |
| This anime is fucking entertaining, Koko is awesome ! |
Electromistress said: Nobody dies. A generous 7/10. this. ------- oh, wait, false alarm. nvm the crew makes it out. again. and just when i was about to do "RIP VALMET I LOVED YOU", and deeply respect the show for proving me wrong, she pops up alive, which made me go WHYWHYWHYAAAAHHHHHH but then i saw her rival alive so i guess that's alright. she's not off the hook just yet. loved the OST throughout, and this episode was great. made me jump this show from a 7 to an 8. more interested into S2 than this one. i hope "yona" gets more attention. they went off of him at around 7 or 8. disappointed that valmet got a huge win over the chinese bro. i wanted to see some action :( also i hope this R guy is the one who catches koko paired with the fat bro since the scarecrow guy has apparently given up. extremely disappointed that the song that played at the airport in episode 9 isn't in the OST...i was really looking forward to a full version....

| Didn't expect both Valvet and the other woman to survive, kinda anticlimactic to be honest... Ohhh R is a spy for the CIA eh? It's always the CIA. 7/10 overall for the series. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Pretty surprised that Valmet actually survived those gun shots, i guess she was wearing bulletproof vest. That Karen chick is also tough as well, she woke up even earlier than Valmet, i guess both are destined to kill each other, most important part is we got to see more bewbs xD. Fun series, i thought it's gonna be boring but it exceed my expectation, so glad i decided to watch this series. Overall score 8/10, onto the next season hopefully better than the first one |
 |
| I never thought I would find something similar to Black Lagoon. This made me realize how much I like bad-ass female characters! |
| omfg let's all praise the plot armor. Really thought for a moment they'd pull that crap in the last episode. Well, and obviously Jonah contributed a whole lot to her survival as well :P I mean I really expected Valmet and Karen to kill each other but not like this and not this early. Glad the story didn't go through with it. All in all pretty enjoyable as expected. Having a bigger scheme maybe would have made it perfect but I can live with the episodic nature of it. Bigger schemes usually need more than one or two seasons. |
| Well of COURSE they didn't have the balls to actually kill one of Koko's people off. That would create some interesting conflict and we can't have that in this anime, now can we? 4/10, as a whole this anime was completely forgettable. I can't think of many good things to say about it. The action was dull and the characters were boring except for Koko who was annoying the hell out of me every single episode. |
| E aquela música brasileira ahuhuahuauhauh Both survived, of course hehe though both dying EXACTLY IN THAT WAY would be lame as well. I personally dislike the fact that every single enemy don't know how to shot. They are like bots on easy. Shota relationship with Koko girl is kind annoying. anyway 5-6/10 |

| This anime sometimes do amazing stuff for us gunfreak and sometimes it really doesn't bother with realism at all. Last two episodes really waved with death flags for two characters but then like, meh. Message would be much more powerful if they would die. And that Karen survived as well, well, guess that's one conflict that's gonna continue to second season. |

| Now that's some serious plot armor! I thought the previous episodes were already pretty bad in that regard—not so much that it bothered me—but this is just downright ridiculous. |
| I think this season could've ended on a better note this one felt rather sudden and short. Jonah is a truly amazing character I'm still contemplating on whether he is a 10/10 for me I'll probably have my thoughts summed up by the time I finish season 2. This season was really great 8.5/10 :) |
