Jormungand : Episode 9

Current Episode Score: 5

I think I have finally realized one of the many issues I have with this show, I hate the way it looks. The entire show is just so noisy that it is actually distracting from the actual content. Instead of a smooth clean visual style they added this noise filter on everything, I’m guessing to try and make it look gritty? But it just does not work and looks terrible.

Onto the actual episode, again it starts off fine. The group does some bonding while at the beach, some minor character building happens. And than the mission starts, still just fine. Need to smuggle some doctors into a war zone. Why a gun dealer is doing this job, don’t a clue, but kinda have given up trying to understand what Koko’s actual job is by this point.

The real issue is the final moments of the episode. While the plane is grounded with engines off, and surrounded by dozens of armed men. Koko just gives the order to kill everyone in the militia. How? How do you kill dozens of men surrounding you without taking massive causalities? Nothing that she could possible do in the next episode allows for this single moment to make any sense at all. And that is the largest issue with the show.
