Witch Hunter Robin Series
Tagged under Sunrise (Studio), Bandai Visual, Series.
In the near future, being a Witch doesn't so much require using actual magic as it requires gaining supernatural abilities through one's genetics. People who have the gene but aren't "awakened" to the Craft are classified as Seeds, and then reclassified when they show signs of awakening. There are even some Witches who use them as they see fit; giving in to darker emotions and abusing that power. This is where the STN steps in. The STN (or Solomon) is an organization dedicated to the capture of Witches.
Centering around the Japanese branch of the organization, simply called the STN-J, the story picks up where they have recently lost one of their members, Kate. Headquarters promptly sends in a replacement: Robin Sena, a fifteen-year-old girl raised in an Italian convent. Possessing the power to start fires, she is a Craft user and a Hunter who utilizes the abilities of a Witch.Immediately things do not go well for Robin: along with getting used to the STN-J's unusual custom of using a substance called Orbo to repel the Witches' power and refusing to kill Witches as Headquarters does, her uncontrolled use of the Craft starts Robin off on the wrong foot with her assigned partner, the mysterious Amon. However, Robin and her fellow Hunters come together as they uncover disturbing truths concerning the ancient struggle between humans and Witches, Kate's sudden disappearance, the organization they work for...and ultimately, the dark secret surrounding Robin's very existence.Written by iamrobinsena.Witch Hunter Robin Wallpapers

Nauxolo's Witch Hunter Robin Tv Review
Rated:
One of the main appeals to watching this series to its entirety is the hope that something will happen. There are certainly a lot of interesting mysteries in here left unsolved, but watching this again will not solve them either. Because the character interactions are somewhat weak and the story pacing feels a little slow, I think only those who have an intense love for Robin should watch this again.
As for whether or not I would recommend this series... I fear not because the beginning is just way too slow and not worth the half-assed wind down to the end.

On a plot of the story a bit in common with the Darker than Black. But the second film wins in the tension of story and action. In "Robin" story is often slack, alternating between interesting moments and moments like "although would not fall asleep" (I watched episode in the night). For me, remained a mystery what happened to the main characters, and why they have such a age difference (in the sense it could be much less)

When Witch Hunter Robin was aired I was in the mood for something dark and supernatural, that's why I decided to watch
this anime. I really enjoyed this series, even thou it gives off 'sloooooooow' aura. My favorite character is Robin and
I guessed that helped me much in finishing this story. The story gets more serious in the later episode and the ending
leaves me with a dissatisfaction feeling.
But still, it's a pretty awesome story once you get to know it. It become one of the memorable anime in my watch list.
:)
One of my favourite series, and one that I have a few tattoos of on me( I have robin and Amon on arms) It was the start of my obsession with the Anime, and one that still is my top one. Story, animation... everything is perfect. Some might disagree, but I don't care. WHR is the best one out there for story and excellence.
I am on the 50th watching of the series -cant get enough.

This Sunrise anime is about witches, aka mutants, as in X-Men mutants, but without the customs, & the tails &
the blue skins aren't an option here. So, it's about these witches & the organization that hunts them down, &
watching it I couldn't help but wonder wither it's just me or have others likened some of the characters here to
character types seen in the TV series 'La Famme Nikita'...
Of course I'm referring to the characters in the original TV drama, not the French movie 'Nikita', or the American
remake of the same name, nor the new TV series, also titled 'Nikita', that is based on the 'La Famme Nikita' series...
but this is not the subject here...
In any case, this is a good show, & even though there are many character backgrounds & in-universe details that
i would like to know more about, I did enjoy it enough to make me mark it on my watchlist & write something here
about it, so there.
this is one of those anime that you wish for a second season but then you wonder what are they going to do, will they kill it? it's one of my top five and I have to admit it's really good. it's another one of those twist and turns plots and yes two of my favorite voice actors dwell within the anime as well ;)
