I found it odd you wouldn't have watched GitS, that show seemed right up your alley.
My hunch was correct.
And yeah, Jormungand and BL are in the same universe, it's great. And makes sense too since they both deal with (kind of) similar things.
I like Jormungund for its dealing with war and crime. One scene that impressed me was Koko getting really p*ssed off at the Mafia for trying to buy her weapons with drugs. She shot them all down, but was professional in her reasoning. It really reminded me of those old gangster movies.
I also like every one of her plans that don't involve the controversy that is Jormungand.
Child Solider theme could have been explored more. But I liked it how it was.
I think it doesn't get enough credit, but it's still not Black Lagoon.
Anyway...
As for new shows... well f*ck. I don't know how much anime you've watched.
Have you covered Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood yet?
