Jormungand Trailer

A trailer for the anime adaptation of Takahashi Keitarou’s seinen action-adventure manga series, Jormungand, is doing the rounds online.

Synopsis

Koko Hekmatyar is an unofficial arms dealer for HCLI, a weapons manufacturer. As an unofficial seller she must avoid the authorities of different countries because her work is illegal under international law. To protect her she has a team of bodyguards who are mostly ex-military. The latest recruit is Jonah, a seemingly emotionless and highly skilled child soldier who hates weapons dealers. As he follows Koko and her bodyguards he is searching for the weapons dealer responsible for the death of his family in order to exact revenge.

Shuizuka Itou (Nadia in El Cazador de la Bruja)is voicing the arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar while Mutsumi Tamura (Sonya in Kill me Baby) is voicing Jonah. Directing the series is Motonaga Keitarou (Get Backers, Magic Knight Rayearth), Yosuke Kuroda (Excel Saga, Gungrave, Hellsing Ultimate) is handling the scripts and series composition while Mami Kawada (Hayate no Gotoku!) and Nagi Yanagi (Bakemonogatari) are handling the opening and ending theme songs respectively.

The animation studio producing the show is White Fox who should be familiar to anime fans from their work on Steins;Gate and the recently released Steins;Gate Movie. A second series of Jormungand is already confirmed.
