Eyelashes remain bushy as FUCK. Also, they still can't draw noses.

This week is a very special week, because Jormungand now has another recurring theme overtaking the eyelashes and derpy art in terms of popularity. Seeing as this is anime, I guess one shouldn’t be surprised if this theme is…

Mmrrrrrgmrmrrgggg <--- onomatopoeia for rubbing

…characters rubbing their faces on things.

Here's Koko mmmrrrrgggg-ing Valmet's breasts because they haven't seen each other for half an episode.

Yeah, I’ll bet it does Valmet. Quite honestly, the first half of this episode pretty much involves various characters rubbing their body parts on various other things. Which brings us to…

PLOT

FUCK THIS GAY EARTH

Actually, this episode undergoes a 180 degree turn after all the rubbing has been done. In the preceding screenshot, White Fox uses Koko jumping as a metaphor for her breaking from societal restrictions on women; a position of arms dealer is an unconventional position, even more so for a young woman like Koko. The fact that she holds such a highly regarded position in her father’s company is symbolic of the modern Japanese woman’s desire to break free from the glass ceiling found in the business world and jesus christ I haven’t slept for 20 hours what the shit am I writing?

This anime's also about a confused heavy metal fan at a Kanye West concert.

Episode two actually doesn’t contain much action at all; of the two fight scenes, one is between Valmet and Koko’s acquaintance that appears to be no more than a sparring match, and the other one has Russian attack helicopters that don’t hit much of anything on-screen. Rather, most of the episode is about Koko and friends trying to outwit some…guy…who’s trying to force Koko to sell him stuff. But she doesn’t want to, so she flees, and we get about nine minutes of talking and fifteen minutes of fleeing.

DAT SHIT CRAY

I signed on for gun porn, dammit! Where’s my goddamn gunporn?!?

THOUGHTS AND RUBS

It's rather sad that White Fox has to resort to product placement to sell this show.

Speaking of “product placement” there were some suspiciously red soda cans that Koko and the above pictured men were drinking from. Could it have been…Koko Cola? Eh? Ehhh?

On a more serious note, while the music and voice acting remain excellent (and seeing as they probably won’t hire new composers and VAs, will probably remain excellent), the art also unfortunately remains inconsistent.

Maybe she bought the outfit at Topshop?

Her amazing outfit somehow gets changed to…

Probably from the thrift store or something.

DAMMIT WHITE FOX Y U SO LAZY?

Otherwise, this episode was nothing special. No explosions, not a whole lot of guns (seriously, keep the knife fights to your feudal Japan anime, White Fox), just a whole lotta planning and Koko doing her best Horo the Wise Wolf impression.

There's something about people with pointy noses and being stingy, I guess.

The preview for next week seems to promise a lot more Cowadoody action and Koko in somewhat more inspired outfits, as well as a certain assassin, Emphasis on the ass.

Dear god I can’t wait until the better shows of the week come out…
