Jormungand

>>155347887
if you have good suspension of disbelief and dont mind characters who can literally dodge bullets by doing backflips and professional soldiers who apperently cant hit the broad side of a cake, then yeah the characters are pretty qt

It's a fun watch with great music and nicely drawn gunsl, but the plot isn't the greatest with a really stupid ending and the action is unrealistic as usual.

Also, remember: Scarecrow best character and Her name is Koko, she is loco.

It's really bad. I don't recommend watching it.

First off, for a "gun" anime, its knowledge of firearms and firearms users is incredibly poor. Sure, it names off things, but for the most part, *real gun users use nicknames in combat*. It makes for incredibly clunky dialogue, where they shout out "He's got a Negev LMG" or "Mi 24 Hind D" said out in full. They'd say, "Hind, take cover!" or "Target, machine gunner, 9 o'clock". There's no addressing the amount of bullets one can carry (in episode four the bad guy guns down an entire opera house with what looks like one nutsack, and that does not hold enough to gun down as many people as shown with one shot-one kill, let alone firing like a moron), there's no tactics, people take stupid shots (god knows how many times they shoot at held guns, a stupid shot to take under almost any circumstance), and nothing in it gives the idea that the people who made the show or manga have any knowledge of guns beyond their statistics.

If you think that's semantics, it's because good gunplay (if it was there) would be the only saving grace, seeing as the writing is atrocious. The females are otaku-bait, everyone's a philosopher (and a bad one at that), talking is always a free action in supposedly high-pitched gunfights, the three storylines shown thus far are worse than Black Lagoon at its most ridiculous, and it just has nothing going for it.

Trust me, I wanted to like this show. I wanted a good gun show to come out. But this is far from it. Hell, High School of the Dead was better about its guns. And when you lose to HSotD at anything other than pantyshot counts and size of boobs, you know you aren't doing well.

>>155351686
I watched it straight after binging on Black Lagoon. I think doing so might have given me a slightly more negative opinion on Jormungand that I might have otherwise, but I still enjoyed it.

Yeah, but they're just as unattainable (for us) than 2D waifus.
Becoming an army sniper/SOF, then joining a PMC to do anything else than guarding warehouses in arab shitholes is pretty fucking difficult

I wish Jormungand and Black Lagoon were in the same universe or had some sort of crossover

>>155351805
Yeah, Black Lagoon is better in pretty much every aspect I think. Jormungand seems to be a lot more forgettable to me, I've actually only watched it a few months ago and it seems I've already forgotten character names and what they were about, I've watched Black Lagoon years ago and remember it much better.

It's a bait, right?

It's a fun watch with some awesome music.

>>155348751
If Black Lagoon is a ridiculous, over the top 90's action movie that nows its dumb but has fun with it than Jormungand is an early 00's edgy action movie that thinks it's deep but is as shallow as a puddle.

What about the purest form of love?

The ending would have been better if it went all the Metal Gear Rising way and made it a nanomachines fist fight between the cia guy and Jonah

you do have to stretch you disbelief where 10 seconds after missing each other 20 feet away someone scores a headshot on a random guy with no plot armor a few rooftops away then goes back to missing someone standing completely still out in the open at 20 feet.

It's literally an anime for the CoD audience.

Make of that what you will.

>>155365515
It gets pretty bad when you have two groups of soldiers standing 15 meters away mostly out of cover, shooting at each other for nearly the entire duration of a 5 minute exposition scene and no one gets hit.

>>155365741
I remember that sub-boss sniper from the end of cour 1 as the moment that the show would have pretty much no tension from then on. I was mostly right, especially with how they easily deal with that girl from arc 1 our the second cour and just don't have credible villains for the entire rest of the show.
