Jormungand Season 1

If you want animation that is not just for kids, Jormungand Season 1 is available on right now. A compact run that never overstays its welcome.

Jormungand Season 1 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Jormungand Season 1 treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. A ruthless arms dealer on a quixotic quest for world peace. A child soldier born into chaotic conflict. Their lives will intertwine as they journey together through the seedy underbelly of the world's arms market. Shizuka Itoh and Mutsumi Tamura lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2012. The visual gags in Jormungand Season 1 reward close attention without ever depending on it. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Jormungand Season 1 belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Shizuka Itoh brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
