In modern-day Japan, magic use has become almost commonplace. A technique called CRAFT is used by those with supernatural ability. Those who use CRAFT for evil purposes are branded as witches and are hunted down by the STNJ, an elite organization of hunters designed to end the threat to Japan’s populace. The STNJ team is comprised of five hunters: Amon, a brooding, skilled leader, Karasuma, an eager rookie, Michael, a computer expert, Doujima, a slacker, and Sakaki, a hunter with the CRAFT power of scrying. A mysterious sixth member joins the team; a gentle girl named Robin, who, with her amazing fire-wielding ability, brings awe, confusion, and a whole lot of intrigue to the STNJ.

The great thing about Anime is that it fits so many different genres. The majority of the adult-themed ones get lost amongst the mechs, outerspace, and tentacle porn, but Witch Hunter Robin stands above them.

If you are a fan of fast, action-paced anime and are unwilling to try something else then by all means stay away from this one. Many times the pace is very slow to help develop the plot and characters. Sometimes though it moved too slow that I had to wonder if it was even worth watching, but something would happen that changed my opinion. It’s an original series that is really for adults. Robin is filled with mystery, intrigue and a very gothic atmosphere.

I have only seen the first 3 DVDs, but after the third one the plot takes a major shift and it seems things get a lot more interesting.
