Somehow this ep reminded me of a Marathon+Lightweight+Commando+tac knife player (can't believe I still remember that combination) who is hunted by a camper, the latter being killed by someone who sneaks up on him.

Anyway. Music in this ep was the best, imo. I give Jorm an 8. Now for a three month wait...

I was looking forward to awarding two 7's this season, but then this episode happened. While not revoltingly bad, it was still rather poorly executed, especially near the end. 6/10.

I think the second season has great potential to surpass the first. That's not to say I didn't like S1 because it was pretty awesome.

But people should die after taking some of the shots they receive. My only real complaint with the series.

agree with you.
dunno, I don't really want Valmet to die but it might make more of an "impact"..
Looking forward to the next season :)

the point is not about anyone (not) dying, but if you've been shot (several times, at least that is the way it sounded and looked like more than once), then it is very unlikely that you'll "magically" get out of it (nearly) unwounded or even alive.. it's not just about the last episode, it happened in some of the other episodes also.
well, anime physics *sigh*

Same.

I see this as a more boring version of Black Lagoon (even though they are not really the same thing).

Well, that was a surprisingly low body count considering how many people got shot...I hope Lilianetachi opened their restaurant and can live on in peace. 4/5. Also, did I heart Dutch's VA when that CIA guy talked?

7/10 for the series, it was nowhere near as good as Black Lagoon, but it was still a very enjoyable action show.

So Ugo does end up surviving, that's good I guess. And so did Valmet as well as Karen even though they both got shot multiple times at distances where these usually don't miss. Oh well I was hoping that Liliane and Karen would get out of this alive and I am glad they did.

This anime turned out better than what I had expected and was enjoyable. Can't wait for season 2 to see who's side R is on.

Really it's a 9/10 if you want to judge it as a standalone that doesn't conclude, but I'm sure that the second season is going to be just as good as this one. Let's hope....

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

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).

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.

Disappointed. I thought the series did not have magic nor supernatural stuff, but I was wrong. It's such magic that velmet and Ugo did not die despite getting shot. Now I think it's unfair that Chinatsu was wasted.

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. :)

Good last episode.
It will be realistic if Velment would of died.
The ending scene umm i don't got any words what is about. I hope season 2 will explain the story way more.
Fantastic show really love this show. Wish they bring more development to more of the soldiers. I still don't know who the hell are those names are.

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

I agree. They should've at least killed Ugo to try and make shit more intense. Show's not bad but the other characters don't really get any screen time. It's mostly Koko and Jonah with Lem and Valmet and then the others. Though the concept is original and interesting enough plus it has some very nice music but goddamn the art is terrible. 7/10 Would recommend for fans of Black Lagoon though BL is still superior overall.

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.

Yeah, it probably would've been more realistic if some gut-wrenching deaths actually did occur, but I'll be selfish - I had such a great time watching this series that I don't really care. I was so attached to Sofia that I went "NONONONONO" when she got shot, so I was pleasantly surprised when she pulled through. Onto Perfect Order!

This ending was good for the most part, but the ending 5-10 minutes kind of pissed me off. After that awesome action scene and pretty much massacre of Valmet's, everything is winding down, we see Karen learn that her boss is dead and try to kill Valmet. She shoots Valmet while she protects Jonah, screams at the sky while crying, and gets shot twice by Jonah. This scene was pretty damn effective at showing what they are doing as still a pretty fucked up thing, which is something that this show does well, but then it seemed like they copped out and just went back on all of it. They both somehow survive after taking more than a bullet each, and Karen leaves without any confrontation. Valmet's back on the team and everyone is happy again. On one hand I like Valmet and I'm glad shes not dead or quitting, but on the other it does seem like a bit of a forced happy ending that cheapened things a little.

Overall an 8/10, enjoyed it a lot, especially the second half.

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.

Umm we got robbed of a fight. I really liked the infaltration but the fight was cut for tits. I mean come one. Also this is some dam strong plot armor they have. Shot in the back and side and lived and her enimie shot through the chest and lived I mean dam. Also ugo going through the wall and koko being all kung fu was cool.Valmet kissy face was also funny. Episode had its weakpoint but still enjoyable though koko is a bit to friendly with jona. On to the next season.

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.
