Witch Hunter Robin

Anybody else seen this great anime yet? I just got it yesterday, and watched Eps 1-5. It's basically about a secret organization called STN that's dedicated to hunting down witches that harm people or snap when their powers manifest. It seems that being a witch is a hereditary trait. Sona Robin is a 15 year old "Craft-user" (Uses witchcraft, but not genetically one... I think) who throws fire around to help capture the witches. It's a little like Hellsing, but very dark and gothic. Hell, the main character never wears anything except black, those she does sleep naked

I am seriously considering getting the boxed set for this when it's licensed and comes out. I even changed my avatar because I like it so much.

I've heard about it. Or was that Those Who Hunt Elves?

The series seems kinda... iffy

I watched the entire series. I suppose it wouldn't be saying too much that the plot of the series picks up around episode 11. And I agree with you that that it's very much like Hellsing.

It's same old plot of "elite good guys" hunting down undesirables with wannabe goths.

How much did you watch so far? The plot moves slowly, but from the spoilers I've seen, it'll pick up eventually...

what's the name of the series? It sounds interesting but I can't seem to find any information on it.

So far I have seen the first 4 episodes. Its a pretty cool show and the art/animation is really well done. I have heard that the first 10 or 11 episodes basically have the "Monster of the Week" thing going in terms of plot but after that it erupts into its main plot and turns out to be very interesting.

The music in the show is also quite well done. I especially liked the intro theme.

It's nice, though I would like to find out exactly what Robin's "fire" ability REALLY is. She burns freaking ANYTHING.

Heh, she has much more than that, as you'll see later...

Seen the entire series, that's why I know she burns ANYTHING.

I saw a very small portion of it at AnimeIowa last year. I believe it was the premire of the dub. However, I thought the dub was pretty crappy, and I must have walked in at the wrong time, since I saw no point to the series.

I'll give it a try again sometime. Subtitled, of course.
