List of Jormungand episodes



Jormungand (ヨルムンガンド) is a 2012 anime based on the manga by Keitaro Takahashi. The anime is produced by White Fox studios and directed by Keitaro Motonaga, produced by Gaku Iwasa, script by Yousuke Kuroda and music by Taku Iwasaki under the Jormungand Production Partners team. The series centers on Koko Hekmatyar, the only daughter of business tycoon Floyd Hekmatyar and the head of HCLI's Europe/African Weapons Transport Division. At the start of the series, she recruits Jonathan "Jonah" Mar, an experienced child soldier who had once fought in West Asia, as one of her bodyguards. The show then follows Koko's encounters and dealings with governments, private clients, rival arms dealers, and any and all sorts of the trouble she gets into in the course of her line of work as she sells weapons – from small arms, to military vehicles, to fighter aircraft upgrade kits. Because of the hazards involved, Koko relies on Jonah and her other bodyguards to ensure her safety.

The anime began airing on April 10, 2012, on Tokyo MX, Television Kanagawa, TV Aichi and KBS and on later dates on Sun TV, BS11 and AT-X. The show will also be seen online in Showtime, NicoNico, Bandai Channel and GyaO. A second season of the series, Jormungand: Perfect Order, was also announced and slated to be released in October 2012, which began broadcasting on Japanese TV on October 9, 2012. The two seasons aired on Japanese TV at 12:30 AM.
