Summary: Warning is not an action pack kidde anime.
Review: Witch Hunter Robin has become a bit popular but I can see why is has great character devolpment a unique and intersesting plot and it is beatifully drawn. When compared to most anime it dosent have that nickelodeon feel to it. It has been compared to the X-files in almost every review and yes it is a bit like the show except With Hunter Robin is actually interesting. But i don't agree with price anime is so expensive what a ripp off. But we can always go with the import version it is somewhat more reasonable

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of my favorite anime
Review: basically, witch hunter robin follows the story of a craft user with a confuzed passed who joins the stnj to hunt witches. thats just the surface though, there are plot twists, some nice character developement, and mystery. i will admit that the pacing in the first few episodes is quite slow, but it picks up and gets into some cool action. i recommend this to any anime fan who has enough money to actually buy it.

Summary: The Most Captivating Anime I Have Seen To Date!
Review: I started watching Witch Hunter Robin when Cartoon Network added it to their Monday-through-Wednesday lineup on Adult Swim. The first few episodes were curiously slow, but after a while I found that I'd get antsy on the days when I couldn't watch it! (Even though I had Fullmetal Alchemist and Stand-Alone Complex to keep me busy!) So yeah, long story short: after seeing Episode 15, Time to Say Goodbye, I couldn't contain my excitement for how incredible the story line was, and I ran out to buy the box set - something I have never done on impulse before in my entire life. I even opened it in the car on my way home, that's how anxious I was... And I've never looked back!
Besides... Check out the Limited Edition Pins!

Summary: Quality work
Review: I'm about halfway through watching this series for the second time, and like all truly good things, enjoying it even more. I first came across this series flipping through the channels late one night, and was captivated by the somber mood and beautiful music. The story can be enjoyed at different levels, but what I find most fascinating is Robin's search for herself, which is the story that spans the whole series. Don't we all go through that in life? The story line is at a level that makes you think, rather than being spoon fed to the viewer, the way "The Da Vinci Code" was when I read it. I only wish they had come up with a second season for this show.

Summary: Neon Genesis warmed over
Review: More of the 'Angst ridden teens save the world' plot line.

Who these witches are, why they are, why they what they do , why we should care and why 15 year old kids are fighting them, are never explained. We just know they are bad and only high school students can stop them.

Unless you just can't get enough of Evangelion give this one a pass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is an amazing show
Review: okay as many other ppl have already stated it takes a few e.p. to get started but so do alot of great books. they do alot of set up. the characters all have there own agendas and there is always some mystery to their true motives. i highly enjoy this show and recomend it to everyone. i have the 3 disc series which is just the e.p.'s and not the pin set. its cheaper that way and its well worth the money you will spend.

Summary: The Witch it Out There
Review: Think of the X-files with witches and you have Witch Hunter Robin. Robin is a young girl with some witchy powers, she has pyrokinesis. She joins the STNJ, and orginization that hunts down witches and captures them, but does not kill them. She seems to fit in with everyone but one person, who hates her powers and is afraid for everyone but shows it by not saying much and being pretty snippy with Robin.

This show is filled with more twists than M. Night Shyamalan could even think up for all of his movies. If you want something serious, somewhat somber, and aren't afraid of dark and bad things happening to good people and mad twists galore, get this.

The only downside is the expensive price. That is way too much to ask for what would really turn out to be about one season of a normal tv show on DVD not an entire series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely a collectors item
Review: Witch Hunter Robin is a wonderful series, I thoroughly enjoyed all episodes. Some may find that the beginning of the series may be a bit slow but give it time and you'll see a better pace closer to the end. With this DVD set my likes were the special pin collection and haveing all DVDs in the fake book binding. My dislikes were not having the reversible covers of the single DVD volume covers. The DVD video is crisp and the sound is very good for 2.0 audio; both in japanese and english. This isn't something you get, watch once and that's the end. I found myself watching WHR again whenever I had the opportunity. For fans of WHR definitely get this set. For anime fans in general see the series first and then decide for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Starts slow, ends strong
Review: Witch Hunter Robin is an acquired taste in anime-some dislike its visual style, while others rave about it, some find the stories flat, while others think the plot is brilliant. I think WHR is a more cerebral series than anything else. It has action, certainly, but much of the movement of the plot is between the characters' lines, and in their interactions with each other and the world around them. Robin herself is thrust into fighting people whose powers sometimes eerily resemble her own without knowing why. It is the process of Robin's self-discovery (and the ultimate revelations about herself, STN-J, Orbo, and more) that makes this series captivating. The unique character designs, beautiful artwork and animation, and brilliant soundtrack by the ever capable Taku Iwasaki are just icing on the cake. As I said in the title, this series starts slowly and ends on a very strong note, but the real beauty is in the journey between the two points.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Witch Hunter Robin is an amazing anime! I read the other reviews for it and saw people compaired it to X-Flies and such. The very first thing that came to my mind when I saw Witch Hunter Robin...was how it reminded me of the Le Femme Nikita TV series. The relationships between the characters...the characters themselves. I can't even find the words to say how wonderful this anime is...but I wanted to give another perspective on a show it relates to. :D
