The following information may contain spoilers.

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.

Nauxolo's Witch Hunter Robin Tv Review

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.

ShinoMatrix' Witch Hunter Robin Tv Review

There were very few happy moments in this series and when they were happy, you really couldn't tell. There was a sense that the writers never meant anyone to be actually be happy and many a times everything and everyone seems to be drifting to some kind of unknown haze of depression. There were supposed to be many dramatic moments but they all fell flat on their faces once the next episode kicked in and did away with whatever impact the previous one had.

Sadly, this series tended to be something I watched when I have exhausted the list of anime I am watching at the moment because its yawn factor was very much there. Indeed one of the characters, Yurika Dojima, yawned enough in the series itself as to make it contagious and made this series borderline watchable.
