Swifteh said: icamehere said: Her name is Koko She is loco I said oh no. Why? Best part of the episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30V6CAIMwiw ^that preview is BOSS. koko's voice threw me off at the start, but im getting used to her young voice. yes, we need more of that dagger chick. character development is going well |
 |
| Episode 1 was great. This anime got lots of potential . |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| Well, Jonah's voice sounds pretty much exactly like how my mind dubbed him when I read the manga lol Anyway, the adaptation is quite decent. I will definitely keep watching. |
 |
| I was looking forward to this after seeing the PV, and it did deliver. Those action scenes were pretty cool, the art style (especially of Koko) is sort of strange though. Looking forward to more of this. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Koko's personality is much more different than I imagined her, but I like it. Action packed episode and the team seems to have a good chemistry too, so I think I'm gonna enjoy this. |
 |
| LOVE the characters and how they interact. Koko is totally different than I thought she would be, but I like her. Pretty solid first episode. |
  |
| Nice! Reminds of Nicolas Cage's Lord of War, in this case Koko's the Lady of War. That and Black Lagoon too! I definitely need to see more episodes of this. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I really liked the first episode. I'm so looking forward to the next episode & the OST<3 |
| dislike Koko voice actor, needed to be creepy enthusisatic, instead of generic. terrible plot at the moment. 1.5 out of 5. |
| I think I knew this was getting a 10 before i finished the ep. lol Something feels familiar about the animation style, the eyes mostly...and Jonah's design Any ideas? |
| Anyone else getting ishvalan (FMA) vibes from the kid? I mean a guy with dark skin tone, red eyes, white hair and out for revenge... Scar anyone? lol The series do look interesting though. Looking forward to the 2nd episode |
| Well this is pretty interesting. The mood wasn't what I thought it'd be, instead it seem pretty light at times. These people like to joke around, I am liking how these characters act. |
 |
| HER NAME IS KOKO SHE IS LOCO I SAID OH NO anyway I liked the episode and will continue to watch this |
 |
| I'll need time to get used to Koko's voice, I can see why they chose Itou Shizuka, but it's still strange for me. I instantly recognized the kid as Sonya (KMB), quite the demotion, from an assassin to an arms dealer's bodyguard/henchman. Still, it fits. The series looks okay so far, can't wait for more action 4/5. |
| It was really entertaining. I did not read the manga so I don't know how this 'weapons for world peace' is supposed to work. War and weapon dealing is a serious issue so I hope they don't get too far into it with such a light hearted attitude. The child soldier thing also put me off a little. As cute as he is. But it's just an anime after all. ^^ What annoys me a little is the whole yuri thing. I'm totally not against such things but at times when a woman's only character trait is to like other women then it's a bit boring and generic. It was done so often. She really reminds me on this chick from Darker than Black. But in the end all that stuff wasn't really too distracting. I'm gonna watch the next episodes for sure and see where it goes. |
 |
| This show makes me feel a lil uncomfortable as well... I can't help but think about how much of a real problem child soldiers are, and his saintly high skill level makes me feel like they are making light of this. If it wasn't for this though, I think I woulda enjoyed the show. |
| Goddammit, this anime are nothing but a rip-off of Black Lagoon. Fuck this shit!!! |

I been reading some of the blog and people said that this Anime's story is very hard to understand.Yet, no one said anything about the story being hard here.dislike Koko voice actor, needed to be creepy enthusisatic, instead of generic. terrible plot at the moment. 1.5 out of 5. I think the plot is fine ... summary: |
| Quite the boring stereotypical macho anime. Not sure it will be worth to keep watching it. |

| Who is the woman wearing a lab coat and showing her tongue with a cigarette in the prologue. |

| Customs, criminals, fuzzs, Russians… I like it! |

| i enjoyed it, not that i really understood who all those people were, or what the actual get up was |
| Yeah she is loco... |
 |
| Her name is koko she is loco I say oh no xD To see my full review of this episode go here: http://animeordie.blogspot.com/2012/07/jormungand-112.html |
  |
| seems like they're trying too hard to make koko chick look like over-the-top eccentric bad ass character and oh look... a quiet boy with troubled past who's acting like a puppet and is god-like with firearms... biggest surprise of the century...zzzzz nothing fresh enough to have my undivided attention.. sigh good thing it's a 12 ep series... or I would probably drop it right now.. we'll see how it goes.. |
 |
| Oh I think we've found another Black Laggon type....I like. |
 |
| it was ok |
| reaallly good |
 |
| Seems really good so far! The voice actor they used for Koko threw me off big time, but I liked it! :) |
 |
| Highly impressed with the first episode. White Fox can do no wrong. Fun fact: The head of the Hizb-e Islami Mujahideen in Afghanistan is named Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. I wonder if he's related to Koko. :) |
 |
| Great episode! This group is weird. A eye patch girl, and other stuff. Will like this group. Logh looks like a girl instead of a man. He is cool. Koko looks definitely like a man but ain't. She is awesome. The way she overslept looks like a cat. Cute. Man that preview song is great! Neane1993 said: HER NAME IS KOKO SHE IS LOCO I SAID OH NO. holy shit I'm scared. I may love her. opening is great and ending is cool. This anime will be awesome! 5/5 |
| BANG |
 |
| I first heard about this show from the soundtrack of this show. From the awesome Mami Kawada(who makes autotune actually great) OP to the Nagi Yanagi ED I was hooked. I finally got to start the show today after a long wait and safe to say I enjoyed it. Pacing did feel kinda off but "her name is koko she is loco I said oh no!" made up for it. |
 |
| Am I the only one who thinks this is far from black lagoon? I know this is girls with guns but that doesn't put it on par with Black Lagoon AT ALL. People need to stop saying that shit. |
 |
| This is Black Lagoon with comedy... great 1st episode though. |
 |
| Wow, so glad I started this ... super interesting! Quite like the OP and ED - very different, not really my type of music but certainly fits :P Jonah and Koko are such an interesting duo XD Koko's very different from what I expected ... from the way she acts to her voice :P Car chase scene was pretty epic ... especially Jonah being so calm throughout the whole thing. The second half was pretty intense too! Seems like the certainly thought everything through ... I wanna see more of the rest of her group too. They're so close - like a family! Which Jonah ends up joining at the end (and poisoning everyone with his eggs LOL XD) Plus Vermet (I think her name is?) seems pretty obsessed with Koko eh :P The "koko is loco" during the preview ... LOL XD Interested to see where this goes! :D |
| Cons: 1. Below average animation. 2. Not that good of an ending. 3. Contradictory male "protagonist". Pros: 1. Brilliant Female Lead. 2. Very good script. (Subbed) 3. Good opening. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| For a first episode, it was okay. I never could get into Black Lagoon, I don't know why, but maybe watching this anime will get me into it, I've always wanted to watch Black Lagoon but I guess I don't have the motivation for it. It doesn't help that I have a lot of anime on my PC that I haven't even bothered watching yet, but I will manage. I like the female lead Koko, I think she's cute. Jonah is alright but he doesn't seem to have that much of emotion, seems too bland of a character right now so I can't judge just yet. The action in this ep was great! Hopefully next ep will be even better! |
 |
| That was...unique to say the least. I see they wasted no time jumping right into the action and situation. Koko's voice is much different from what I imagined when I was looking at pics of this. The humor is a bit awkward but at least it's not tasteless. Koko's goal for world peace is interesting and I'm glad she's not a "spare your enemies" white knight sort of character. Her eyes are intense, as is her sleep walking! |
 |
| Awesome I was looking for an action anime like this one Also I loved Koko |
 |
| Awesome OP and ED I also like the fact that it didn't take long to get to the action. That 'sleepwalking' scene... wow, valmet is that tall? Good first episode. |
