Jormungand
When you get a show that works with a lot of violence but doesn’t seem to quite go in the completely dark and brutal way for much of it, like a slasher film, finding the right tone for the dub can be a challenge. FUNimation has a new clip out for Jormungand that plays up the violence but also the kind of language that certainly fits with the situation. . The latest clip works a few different things into the space of 90 seconds and shows some fun range for the characters involved. The first two seasons of the series are coming out at the same time on February 18th, 2014 in a DVD/BD combo pack that works for regions A & B for Blu-ray and regions 1,2 & 4 for the DVD. Extras for the first set include Casting Koko’s Crew with American Director Christopher Bevins, Actor Commentaries, Textless Songs
Plot concept: Jonah is a child soldier and the newest bodyguard for Koko, an international arms dealer with an entourage of hired guns. The cold-blooded kid hates Koko’s line of work, but following her into the darkest corners of the black market might be the only way he can find those responsible for his family’s slaughter. Besides, his employer isn’t like most merchants of death. She uses guile and cutthroat tactics to keep her clients armed to the teeth-all while cultivating her own warped plan for the future of world peace. With the CIA desperate for her capture, assassins eager to collect her head, and the potential for every contract to end in ultra-violence, Koko and her comrades in arms bring the boom to every corner of the world.
