Jormungand 1-3




 I hadn't expected much from this show initially. I mainly thought it would be meaningless drivel about arms dealers,  blah, blah, blah.


Instead, it turned out to be a nice surprise that fills a niche in my watching cycle. There aren't many shows this seasons with any good action (Upotte! freaking doesn't count), but Jormungand is high octane. It fits nicely for when I want to watch someone shoot the heck out of something.


And the characters are somewhat interesting. Koko is super quirky (and is she supposed to be albino?) and Jonah, the former child soldier, adds a point of reflection throughout the series.


Rating: B+
