FUNimation recently set the December 17th, 2013 release date for the first part of Jormungand on DVD/BD combo pack and now they’re showing off the cover artwork for it. The release, which does not have a limited edition version solicited, will run for $64.98 on release for the first half of the series. FUNimation previously simulcast the show for the two seasons it ran and they’ve posted one dub clip from the show so far, which you can check out below as well.
The series ran for two seasons in Japan for a total of twenty-four episodes animated by White Fox based on the manga of the same name by Keitaro Takahashi. The series started airing the season after the manga ended in January 2012 after running since 2006 for a total of eleven volumes.
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.
