Why do you care about my upset?
I just expected something AT LEAST CLOSE to Black Lagoon, maybe that was too much.

I Lol'd at the next episode preview song.

Episode was good, didn't really understand what was going on though. I felt it went by really quickly without really explaining what it was about, but maybe I was just distracted by all the explosions and gun fights to notice the plot. Meh It seems like it'll be interesting enough so I'll keep watching.

What did you want? their faces pasted on a Black Lagoon clone with no originality whatsoever? Also, arms dealers competing over selling upgrades for the country's air force was plenty of story for an episode designed to show the protagonist's first mission with Koko.

I like how people just looking for pure action can enjoy this as it doesn't force the story down your throat, yet if you look hard enough you can see an intensely detailed story. People stuck in the middle (like looking for more than action but not observant enough to notice the story) might suffer a bit from this, but I like it.

Yeah, I though wrong of them being F-16s but should know better that it's one of those Slovak countries. What you say is right but that's only after they got better MIGs to their arsenal.

Pretty interesting so far.

I like koko. Nice to see a different kind of heroine and not the usual highschool girl type.

Koko song during the ending moments only added icing to the cake of this fabulous episode lol. Jonah is really cool as well as Koko surprisingly. Love the action and intensity of it all. The OP is really nice as well as the actual anime OST. So glad Funimation got it now release it on disc!

Well this reminded me heavily about Black Lagoon. Probably because the characters can relate with one another. We're about to see which is more fucked up: Jormungand? Or Black Lagoon?

Hehehe! Quite fun. The voice actor for Koko could ether be a bad choice or a genius choice actually. Because indeed on one side it's more girly than what you would imagine but on the other she's quite a playfull character and that voice actor can do that very well.

Her face draing remind a little of those card series(Kaji was it?) and of the fox from Nuranihyon but in a more twisted way. Lol some faces she makes really makes you expect her to say "Why so serious"? Along with her playful attitude he really reminds of a kind of more conventional female joker.

I love translations that make use of other languages, like translating "okay?" as "comprende?" If a line wasn't originally in the same language as the source language, then it doesn't always need to be translated to the same language as the translated language.

I really liked this episode premiere.

Lots of action, little conversation ... I see that my bet on this show really was not wrong.

Koko, Johan and Velmet have shown potential for characters who will like a lot.

I was interested in the show beforehand, but after watching it I can't even make myself like it. I like the character designs a lot, but the characters themselves just don't interest me. Not a single one.

I'll keep watching but so far I'm not impressed. Felt too try-hard edgy if you know what I mean

What nationality is Koko supposed to be? Was that ever even told in the manga?

No idea, but Hekmatyar seems to be a Pashtun name, so most likely Iran, Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Before I watched this, I thought Itou would voice Koko maturely just like Hilda or any other serious character. But then Koko's 'not that serious' personality', being playful and cheerful makes it all reasonable. Also, wouldn't it be boring if the heroine always has mature voice just like in most action anime? :D

The only think I'm bothered with is, Koko's drawing. It looks lacking colors since she's mostly white, from hair, skin to clothing.

This show was pretty cool. I like our main characters, and I see some interesting possibilities for where the storyline may lead.
I hope the show will continue to delve into the child soldier's character--he seems really unique for an anime.

I agree. I'm still a bit uncertain what I really watched. Maybe another episode or two before I make a decision.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

My thoughts exactly. Though I've read the manga, so more bias.
I'm still uncertain whether I choose this or FZ as anime of the season.
