Happy New Release Tuesday! We’ve got two very exciting releases for you today: Jormungand Parts 1 & 2, and Robotics;Notes Part 1. First up, it’s time to rock n’ roll! Let’s talk about Jormungand!
Jormungand synopsis:
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.
Now for some robots.
Robotics;Notes synopsis:
Akiho and Kaito are the only two members of Central Tanegashima High’s Robot Club – but maybe not for long. The powers that be are threatening to shut the organization down. If Akiho and Kaito want the club to survive, they’ll need to win the upcoming hobby robot competition in Tokyo. With everything on the line, Akiho and Kaito devise an awesomely bold plan: build a giant fighting robot!
The Robotics;Notes Limited Edition comes with some beautiful art cards (see below).
Will you be picking up either of these today?
Let me share with you a story that happens to be true. When I first seen the trailer for Robotics;Notes (The Dubbed version of course, I don’t do subs) I expected that is was just another one of those “Mecha” shows that I will avoid because an Anime that centers around the whole “Mecha subject just doesn’t do it for me. BUT with this show…Robotics;Notes is truly something remarkable. It has the whole “Human” element to it, and best of all the characters have “Tablets”. So, what’s not to love?
still waitin for mine to ship. 🙁
