Jormungand - Preview


I'll be honest here, I decided to watch Jormungand partially because Itō Shizuka (Katsura Hinagiku from Hayate no Gotoku!, Morishima Haruka from Amagami SS, Mishima Nana from Area no Kishi, etc.) is voicing the main character. But other than that, the synopsis does sound interesting. Immersing oneself into the world of smuggling and illegal trading is generally not a good idea. Being able to catch a glimpse of what it's like, although probably simplified and not accurate, is in ways informative. While the anime is primarily for entertainment's sake, the knowledge one can gain about the arms industry can potentially be valuable (depending on the accuracy of the information, that is). Nonetheless, I'm hoping Jormungand will provide me with an interesting insight on Japan's view on the trading of military arms.
