The Official Witch Hunter Robin Thread

[Sailor Mars Dragon]

Does anyone know much about Witch Hunter Robin coming out withen the next few weeks?

[Zeus aka Zeus]

its about this (half) European witch girl named Robin(she can make fire) who is transferred to STN-J in Japan where she helps out witch hunters in their cases. theres a deeper story behind all this obviously, but it doesnt really come to light until the second half of the show.
its starts off with a monster-of-the-week type story. the shows art looks great and everything is done in dark pallettes of black, brown and grey.
one thing that might not appeal to audiences is how slow each episode is. theres a lot of talking and detective work, with action only happening at the very end of the ep.
.....but then again some people loved Hack Sign so maybe they will like this :D

[Firefly33]

Does anyone know much about Witch Hunter Robin coming out withen the next few weeks?

In the next few weeks? Wow, it's that soon. I didn't realize. Zeus said pretty much the basics of the show. I love WHR. It's an awesome show. ^_^

.....but then again some people loved Hack Sign so maybe they will like this

lol. Yep. I blame Hack Sign and WHR for getting me into thinking "mood" anime.

[Sailor Mars Dragon]

I never liked .Hack the anime. The manga is much better! Anyway, Robin sounds kinda interesting, I'll give it a shot.

[WildWill]

Just caught a CN promo that stated it would begin on Monday April 16th at Midnight. I just might have to stay up (who am I kidding I'm up that late anyway) and catch it. Looks very interesting (and I am VERY hard to please these days, out of all the non-Gundam anime I've seen in the last few years, I only like Cowboy Bebop and The Big O).

[bountyhunterbebop]

It looks good from the commercials. I really didn't like .Hack either, even though I only saw the first 4 or 5 eps. :p

[Firefly33]

and I am VERY hard to please these days, out of all the non-Gundam anime I've seen in the last few years, I only like Cowboy Bebop and The Big O

Then there's a good chance you'll like WHR.

[x0x shadowspell x0x]

It really looks intriguing.
I'm probably going to program my vcr...

[Ace of Spades]

Go to this site and look to the right for a good look at it.
http://www.adultswimunleashed.com/
Watch it, it's very good. It's like CSI only with witches and the paranormal. It starts out with a witch-of-the-week sorta plot but it really picks up later. It has great music. I hope to God that they don't cut out the opening theme, its got to be the coolest opening ever. Great animation, interesting characters, decent action, haunting music. Its amazing. watch it.

[Shiro the Commander]

It looked extremely interesting when I read an article bout it in Animerica last year. I've mainly only heard good things bout WHR. I really don't mind if an anime is a so called Mood anime. They interest me alot. I can't wait to watch Witch Hunter Robin.

[Jerott Vs World]

I've got the first DVD... It's really neat. I think I might also have the second.. not sure. Great show.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

I've seen the first dvd. I like it. It's not the best (probably cuz I want a little more action out of it), but it's cool.

[knightmare13]

Hey guys have any of you seen it yet?? Im just wondering if its gonna be as good as it looks ? I never got to see the Japanese eps so im hoping its dubbed version is as good as Bebops was....

[Ace of Spades]

*smacks his forehead*

We already have a topic about this somewhere...

But, I'm in a good mood. First thing to know, if you're looking for gunfights, big swords and explosions, please stear clear. This isn't like Inuyasha. The show relies on plot, characters and some action to make itself good. It's a great dark series with good music, great animation, interesting characters and a gripping plot.

I've seen the first 10 episodes dubbed and the dubbing is pretty darn good.

[Zeta26]

I might look into it. I may just like it. :D

I know I'm gonna like this series!

[Kirarakim]

"This isn't like Inuyasha. The show relies on plot, characters and some action to make itself good. It's a great dark series with good music, great animation, interesting characters and a gripping plot."

Are you saying that Inuyasha only relies on fighting? Well that is the first time I heard that one.

Anways not to completely get off the subject of this post. I am looking forward to seeing Witchhunter Robin. If only because it is something new. I heard the first part of the series is kinda slow, but then it picks up in the second half and the ending is supposed to be great. :)

[Shiro the Commander]

Of course I'm gonna watch Witch Hunter Robin. I've heard bout it for at least a year and its bout time I get to watch it.

[Raiha]

I don't know anything about WHR, it sounds all right. Hopefully it will be good enough to make me want to stay up late every night.

[shannarafan]

I'll be watching it as well; I saw a bit of its trailer a couple nights ago and thought it looked pretty cool.
I just hope they leave in the original opening theme and actually show it because I love Shell.

[Ace of Spades]

Yes. Shell is one of the best anime themes ever. If you like what you see, buy the DVDs.

[Kirarakim]

Unfortunately they usually don't keep in the opening theme (except for Cowboy Bebop) but it would be nice if they did. Opening themes really get you in the mood for the show.

[Jmanunknown]

i'm looking forward towitch hunter robin i was surprised when i found out it was only 26 eps so it will only take until about the first week of april to get through the series i hope its good like bebop and trigun.

[Jerott Vs World]

I've stopped being surprised at the 26 episode anime series, because that's about the standard length, it seems, for most anime. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Love Hina, Noir, Last Exile, and RahXephon. Then you get some shows that stretch on for a lot longer than they should. =P

Witch Hunter Robin is an excellent show. I have the first two DvD's, and let me tell you.. they are really worth the money! The first one, if you get the box, comes with this nifty little animation cell, and a shot glass! I have no use for it yet, but it's still cool!

[Ace of Spades]

if you get the box, comes with this nifty little animation cell, and a shot glass! I have no use for it yet, but it's still cool!

I think you mean "miniature beverage glass". snicker, snicker... I've got it on my computer right now. Anyway, the set is really spiffy, it's got the great soundtrack with all the dark and moody pieces...

[Firefly33]

It came with a shot glass? Lol! That's too funny, especially considering that the title character doesn't drink. :p

I love WHR. ^_^ Great characters and an interesting storyline. I've heard some of the dub, and from what I've heard it's not as good as Bebop. It's not as good as it could be, but it's not bad. At the very least Kari Wahgren who plays Robin does a pretty good job. I agree about Shell. That's an awesome song. Half Pain (the ending theme) is really awesome too. They're both currently two of my favorite anime songs. ^_^

heard the first part of the series is kinda slow, but then it picks up in the second half and the ending is supposed to be great.

The first 10 or 11 episodes are very episodic. They're pretty slow paced with only little action comming at the end of each ep. The real plot picks up about episode 11 or 12. Episodes 12-15 are pretty fast paced compared to previous eps, but after 15 it slows down again, but has still follows the actual plot. I've only watched up to 17, so I can't say anything for the pacing beyond that.

[Ace of Spades]

Yep, I've got it right here. It's a great novelty item and can be used in many jokes. If I were in charge though, I would have had them put in one of those dinky espresso cups! I'd buy it.

[Jmanunknown]

Witch Hunter Robin Premieres tonight i just wanted to see who will be watching?

[KarriaChinoRyu]

Me! I am! :cool:

[bountyhunterbebop]

I didnt watch it, but i set my vcr to record it. Gonna watch it when I get home from school today.

[Felron1024]

so is this another toonami showing? i want too see this, it sounds interesting. ...though i dont have toonami, and never will.

Quick Episode One Review:

"Replacement"

Um...SLOW! That's fine for a first episode, I guess. You have to set up the entire story with one episode, and that kind of stinks. So far I've gleaned this, there's some sort of international organization that fights "witches". One particular chapter has lost one of their Hunters (probably from being too brazen and reckless), and they are expecting their replacement, which is a 15 year old girl named Robin. Robin's past is shrouded in mystery, and she has partial amnesia. She is a "craft user" and throws fire as a power. Whoopee.

So far the characters are all typical anime stock. There's a fiesty girl, a nerd hacker and the brooding good looking guy in a trenchcoat. Oh and there's the over-officious annoying guy who's nominally in charge, when the real boss lets him. Oh and the real boss knows everything but isn't letting anyone else know. Yeah that about wraps up the cliches in the first episode.

But the animation is excellent. VERY realistic and stylized, which I like. Plus the super-natural aspect is intriguing. I'll keep watching.

Oh, and it's on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at Midnight Monday through Thursday (I guess) at Midnight. So far the only real adult content is the witchcraft...but they do worse on "Charmed". Gonna check to see how many episodes it is...I'm guessing 26.

[Kirarakim]

Well charmed would be considered an "adult show" too. You do realize that all the shows on adult swim get a 14+ rating, this is the same rating as most primetime shows get.

But anyways I agree with you with your review, it was a little slow, but intriuging. I'll give it a few more episodes until I form a definite opinion. I was excited that one of the characters was named Hatori though.

[WildWill]

I stopped paying attention to ratings when I turned 13, and they didn't have television parental ratings in 1984. But I checked, and Charmed is rated TV-PG, which last time I bothered to check was under TV-14. Charmed is not considered an adult show by TNT, they air it during the day.http://aolsvc.tnt.sports.aol.com/AskTNT/Parentsguide/0%2C10421%2C%2C00.html

[Firefly33]

Um...SLOW! That's fine for a first episode, I guess.
Sorry, not gonna get too much faster than that. A little, but not much, at least not till ep 12.

One particular chapter has lost one of their Hunters (probably from being too brazen and reckless),
You're in for a surprise then.

Robin's past is shrouded in mystery, and she has partial amnesia.
Eh? Where'd you get that from? I don't think she has any amnesia.

So far the only real adult content is the witchcraft...but they do worse on "Charmed". Gonna check to see how many episodes it is...I'm guessing 26.
The I think the "adult content" comes more from the show's darker, more mature themes and tone than anything else. There's practically no blood and even the violence is minimal. Yes, 26 eps.

I was kinda upset that they replaced the opening with some fancy title screen. Darnit, Cartoon Network, it doesn't make up for Shell! But, oh well. The AS commercial comments were amusing as usual.

[WildWill]

Eh? Where'd you get that from? I don't think she has any amnesia.

"Apparantly I was born in Japan, but I really don't remember anything about it"

That's where.

[Shiro the Commander]

I enjoyed watching Witch Hunter Robin. I don't mind the fact its a bit slow right now. Although I'm angry I don't get to hear Shell. Couple members say its a good song. O well. I thought the voice actors were pretty good in my opinion.

[Jmanunknown]

i thought witch hunter robin was pretty good another hajime yatate and sunrise anime its pretty intresting.

[Firefly33]

"Apparantly I was born in Japan, but I really don't remember anything about it"

I always thought that meant she left Japan when she was very young, so she couldn't remember it.

[Ace of Spades]

"Apparantly I was born in Japan, but I really don't remember anything about it"

Do you remember details of your life from age 3 and before? She had to move to Italy right after she was born, I believe.

From my count, and a quick look at my DVDs, there were edits except for cutting out the OP, which is a real shame, because its got a beautiful opening. The ED was shortened up as is the norm for AS. Last I checked, they did that for everything except Inuyasha. I'm wondering how they'll handle Robin's particular method of sleeping. ;)

Yes, the show is rather slow for the first part, but I hear it speeds up soon.

Don't listen to the sub-crazy fangirls, Adult Swim's handling of the show so far is pretty good. I especially liked the cards they used, the one where they're talking about her power over fire. SHE CAN SET THINGS ON FIRE!

All in all, keep up the good work Adult Swim and keep watching. Buy the DVDs!

[Jmanunknown]

the best card that adult swim had was of the guy with the worst power how can your special power be tripping lol what kind of power is that. the first villian was a joke.

[JadeDragon]

Lol. Yea I agree! That one and the Inuyasha one about jumping down Japanese wells, (inside joke about "The Ring" between me and a friend :p)

Anyway back to the topic, I watched the first 2 episodes already and they may lack action, but it will get better from what I hear. I like Robins hair too ...ok that was a bit random.....

[Jmanunknown]

did anyone notice the chief in the show looks like hitler?

[Ace of Spades]

Nah, Cheif Kosaka just likes that style of mustache...

[Jmanunknown]

Nah, Cheif Kosaka just likes that style of mustache...






its not just the moustache though his whole head looks like hitler sure the moustache stands out but he looks like hitler but chubbier.

[Kirarakim]

Yeah I thought the same thing

[Raiha]

The computer generated elevator scenes and the realistic backrounds don't really fit in that well with normal anime chars. This show reminds me of Blue Gender, which is a bad sign. Maybe it was the expressionless face of that one hunter that reminded me of Marlene.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

This is kind of random, but who here loves Michael? I think he needs someone to care about him... Poor chibi.

[JadeDragon]

This is kind of random, but who here loves Michael? I think he needs someone to care about him... Poor chibi.

Michael is cool. He just needs to tidy up his work space! :p Did anyone ee last nights episode when he talked about his "collar"? Poor guy can't leave work. :rolleyes:

[KarriaChinoRyu]

He's confined!! :(

And therefore, he'll never find a decent girlfriend. How sad!

[Ace of Spades]

And therefore, he'll never find a decent girlfriend. How sad!

Those crazy yaoi fangirls say otherwise... *shudder*

He's an indentured slave basically, but think about it, he's got the ultimate job! Sit around a computer, track down the supernatural, help out with hunting, listen to J-Rock all day, eat potato chips, get to hang around Amon and Robin all day... I would apply for a job like that in a heartbeat!

[Firefly33]

This is a bit old but . . .
I was excited that one of the characters was named Hatori though.
Is that perhaps a reference to Fruits Basket?

I'm wondering how they'll handle Robin's particular method of sleeping.
Seems they kept it. Not surprisingly. There's been worse things left in Trigun and Bebop.

the best card that adult swim had was of the guy with the worst power how can your special power be tripping lol what kind of power is that. the first villian was a joke.
lol. Yeah, that was great. I don't usually laugh at the AS cards, but I did at that one. Last nights were kinda lame though. I did like the fire effect they did to the AS label the other night. ^^

I like Robins hair too ...ok that was a bit random.....
lol. Robin's hair is actually on my "Why I love WHR" list. Not that I actually have a list, but if I did it would be on it. ^^ I actually figured out how to do that to my hair last Halloween. That was fun. I wish I had an excuse to do it again. :D

lol. That part may be cool, but I bet the "collar" part isn't. ^^ It's amazing that Micheal can eat potato chips and donuts all day while always sitting at the computer and still stay as stickly as he is. I thought that only applied to certain magical girls. ^^

[Jmanunknown]

does michael ever leave the office i know he's got the collar thing but does he ever leave the building youknow like to go to get something to eat or something?

[Ace of Spades]

He never leaves that room. At least not during one of the first 10 episodes.

[WildWill]

He said he CAN leave, he just has to ask permission from the big boss.

[Firefly33]

He does leave the office sometimes during the series. There's this little place he goes to that I believe is still in the building. I think the place might have been shown in the first few episodes but I don't remember. It's this dark, dank place with an empty well. He seems to go there often to take a break or eat.

[Jmanunknown]

ohh ok wow how does exercise i mean eating doughnuts and drinking coffee all the time he has to gain a few pounds lol oh well this show is very intresting robin seems out of it sometimes but shes a very intresting character.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

"It's amazing that Micheal can eat potato chips and donuts all day while always sitting at the computer and still stay as stickly as he is. I thought that only applied to certain magical girls. ^^"

Maybe he has a fast metabolism! :p All the bishies do, afterall...

[WildWill]

I was going to make the same comment about his fast metabolism (without the bishies part)...The owner of the couterie shop that my wife manages is about 5'0", weighs a whopping 98 pounds, and she can eat ANYTHING...her favorite lunch is french fries and a vanilla shake! Aaarrgghh....

[Ace of Spades]

I would imagine that STN-J has a weight room or training room somewhere. Howdo you think Amon stays in shape? ;)

[WildWill]

Uh...he's a fictional cartoon character. He stays in shape because he doesn't really exist.

[Ace of Spades]

We're trying to add realism to the show. Why do you think Star Wars is so popular with the geeks? Its because they tried to discover how something works. Loosen up.

[Jmanunknown]

has anyone heard anything new on the live action witch hunter robin movie thing that someone said sci fi was going to make?

[Ace of Spades]

Sci-fi just has the rights to make a live-action series. It's been green-lit but no production has begun yet and it might just get cancelled before even hitting airwaves. If it does make it to TV, it will be disastrous, let me tell you.

naw i think it will be alright if they do a good job of translating the show to live action.

[bountyhunterbebop]

What happened last night? I missed it.

[Ace of Spades]

naw i think it will be alright if they do a good job of translating the show to live action.

Knowing US networks, they'll probably screw it up and try to make it the next Buffy. They'll completely ruin all of the characters. They'll make Doujima the dumb blonde, Miho the business woman, Haruto the one who continually makes mistakes, Amon will be unchanged and Robin will probably turn into some big-breasted, skimpily dressed fire starting chick.

Last nights episode was "Smells Like The Wandering Spirit" if I remember correctly. It's about the hunting of a witch who has the power to put immense fear into others. They don't figure out who the witch is until the very end, after everything's been put back to normal. He's actually a kind homeless guy. Rather confusing episode, not the best one out there.

Be sure to watch it tonight, though. It's the attack of the Killer Barbies!

I just watched Volume 3 and let me tell you, once we get to episode 11, you're in for a real treat.

actually i think Sci Fi is the perfect network to handle Witch hunter robin this anime reminds me oif theire mini seris fire starter it was pretty good i think Sci Fi might do a good job with it.

[WildWill]

Actually, I think this concept could work really well as a live-action show...don't see anything that couldn't be done in special effects.

I wonder if the background music is the same in the dubbed version as it is in the original Japanese version. It's kind of getting on my nerves.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

I like the music, though they do frequently play the songs "Robin", "Flame", and "Dragnet", a lot more than I think they need to.

[Firefly33]

Be sure to watch it tonight, though. It's the attack of the Killer Barbies!

Damn. I was looking forward to seeing that ep again and that's the one ep I miss. O_o I wanted to see Amon get attacked by the killer knife doll! :p

[Jmanunknown]

i think yersterdays ep was the best one so far that was kinda weird the girls personalities were the 50 dolls.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

I loved last night's episode, Faith. And I'm so glad that Sakaki didn't die. :)

I dub Faith my favorite episode so far. Anyone else really like this ep?

[Kris Planer]

this show is different, which is why i like it. i think the characters could use a little more depth though.

[Jmanunknown]

Amon is intersting and so is robin. i onder what Amon's power is?

[Ace of Spades]

this show is different, which is why i like it.

Yeah, it makes you think.


i think the characters could use a little more depth though.

Just wait about a week. Things'll start getting interesting.

[AKA:Battousai]

I Hate it when that happens I wake up and its 6 in the morning(I know I only sleep like 4 1/2 hours, my friends don't know how I do it niether do I really the latest Ive slept in is like 8:30 go figure) and my TV is on I swear I was watching the end of futurama and then I go and miss what I was staying up to watch.

So it was a good episode LoL I do like anything new they start running and lupin I never really got into but I would have liked to watch one more ep and see if Haysworth did play one of the voices aparently he's in alot of the stuff they've shown on CN.

oh by the way he played Kenshins voice on the english anime series. I also hear he played legatto bluesummers and vicous on CB but that one I'm not sure of it just doesn't sound like him.

[Firefly33]

I dub Faith my favorite episode so far. Anyone else really like this ep?
Yeah, this ep was pretty good. I'm still partial to the killer barbie doll ep. ^_^ But my fave ep (15: Time to say Goodbye) is coming up in a couple weeks. (I just took a look at the schedule and noticed they're playing it on a Thursday . . . cruelness man . . . )

By the way, I just noticed they played the preview before Thursday's episode. When did they start doing that? I missed a couple of eps before that.

oh by the way he played Kenshins voice on the english anime series. I also hear he played legatto bluesummers and vicous on CB but that one I'm not sure of it just doesn't sound like him.
Yes, he did Legato. I'm pretty sure he didn't do Vicious. I'll bring up the Voice Actor thread sometime and post his stuff. ^_^

[Jmanunknown]

I think that Witch Hunter Robin is pretty Good Robin is a really intresting character. i'm still trying to remember all of the main characters names. wait i have a question is the rookie umm i think his name is sakraki or something like that the guy that rides the motorcycle is he a witch?

[Firefly33]

No, Sakaki isn't a witch.

[Jmanunknown]

No, Sakaki isn't a witch.




oh ok thanks for the information.

[Shiro the Commander]

I loved last night's episode, Faith. And I'm so glad that Sakaki didn't die. :)

I dub Faith my favorite episode so far. Anyone else really like this ep?


*Finally watches what he recorded on Thursday night* Well wow. I liked this episode alot too. I felt kinda sad bout what happened in the end. Although I should of figured there was a catch with the doctor's power of healing. Overall I liked this episode alot.

yea tha ep was pretty good. i've seen a power like that on mutant x before where the person had the ability to give life and take it away.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

^_^;; While taping last night (Monday's ep), my tape ran out. Could someone tell me what happened starting about five minutes after the commercial break? I'd really appreciate it.

[Jmanunknown]

this show has really picked up since that old women talked to robin i think its a pretty good show i can't wait to see what happens with robin and amon and the STNJ.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

I can't believe it...

I mean, I didn't like Amon until he left/died (whatever). Doesn't that just figure?

[Kris Planer]

yes, i thought that Amon was behind the hunting of robin, i cant wait to watch thursdays episode (taped it) the show is REALLY starting to pick up. i wonder what is gonna happen to the other members of the STNJ

[Kirarakim]

I can't believe it...

I mean, I didn't like Amon until he left/died (whatever). Doesn't that just figure?


He was my favorite character, I was so upset..... But now I am not so upset anymore because it seems that he will probably be coming back. At least I hope.

[Kris Planer]

yeah, amon isint dead thankfully. i hope he and robin come back and get their vengance

[Jmanunknown]

Is anyone curious why the synidcate wants the orbo? i really liked the twist in the show it was unexpected that amon hunted the other witch before robin.

[Kris Planer]

i think they took it becuase robin might not be able to stop the bullets, im sure we will ee in an upcoming episode

[Jmanunknown]

i think the syndicate tried to take the orbo because they want to go back to killing witches instead of just hunting them and keeping them alive oh well we'll find out soon.

[Lutochris]

Has anyone remarked yet that Amon is basically Vicious with black hair and a gun instead of a sword?

[KarriaChinoRyu]

No, I don't think of Amon that way. There is someone that Amon actually cares about, unlike Vicious.

[Jmanunknown]

i think Amon is more like spike then vicious he's just alot more anti- social.

[Firefly33]

He does kinda look like Vicious, but his personality's way different.

[Lutochris]

I think his personality is just like Vicious, except he's not totally cold-hearted.

[Jmanunknown]

I think his personality is just like Vicious, except he's not totally cold-hearted.



if his personality was like vicious h would have off'ed robin withouta thought but he didn't he saved her he's more like a cross between vincent vulju, and vicious except for he has a heart.

[Kirarakim]

Wouldn't you know that 10 minutes to 12 the cable went off in my school and it didn't come on till this morning (I even tried taping it at 3 but all I got was static) I read the episode summary and I guess I didn't miss that much but I am still upset that I missed it. :(


Hmm I wonder what is going on with Amon. He was my favorite character, but Naigara (sp?) is giving him some competition. Still I am guessing that Amon will do the right thing in the end, he did save Robin in the first place. Now I am wondering who is Amon's brother? Is it Nagira?

[Kris Planer]

if Amon does end up hunting Robin, i will freak, and i would like to knwo who knocked out Nagira at the end of last nights episode (dont tell)

[KarriaChinoRyu]

"Now I am wondering who is Amon's brother? Is it Nagira?"

I don't know for sure, but Nagira is clearly older than Amon and if you look at the two of them long enough, it seems that they could very well be related. In last night's episode, Nagira also said something about Amon's "unresolved issues" with his (Amon's) mother. Is it maybe possible that Amon and Nagira have the same father but different mother?

[Jmanunknown]

theres only 4 eps left including tonight the last 4 eps will be very intresting i can't wait also any trigun fans out their trigun is returning monday to adultswim.

[Firefly33]

Wouldn't you know that 10 minutes to 12 the cable went off in my school and it didn't come on till this morning (I even tried taping it at 3 but all I got was static)
That sucks. I missed it at 11 too (central time for me). I've been terrible at catching things on TV lately. It figures that the when I actually need to catch it (I've seen all the episodes previously aired) I forget about it. But thankfully I'm at home on spring break and I was able to record it at 2 (I can't record at school).

Now I am wondering who is Amon's brother? Is it Nagira?
That episode had me thinking all day. I have a few theories. I'm thinking the man in the picture, Professor Toto or whatever his name it, is Amon's brother. I suspect that the woman in the picture who looks like Robin is his wife and could be Robin's mother. That would make that old lady Amon's mother and Robin's grandmother. Which would make Amon and Robin, uncle and niece. ^_^ I kinda like that idea. Then I was thinking that maybe Robin is a clone of that woman, but that's a crazy and cliche idea. I like the first theory better. Other people who could be Amon's brother: Nagira (I highly doubt this one though), Zaizan, Solomon, or the priest Robin was talking about.

What's actually bugging me more is why he called Dojima a traitor at the beggining of the episode. We've never seen her and Amon interact so closely before now. Why is she a traitor? I played with the idea that she could be related to Amon too since her parents put her into the STNJ, but I'm not sure how would that relate with Amon. Gah, I need to see the next ep. . .

What's it replacing? It can't be WHR since the series won't be over till next. Tues. Or so....?

[Jmanunknown]

Trigun is replacing Big O.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

*beams* :D

I was screaming I was so happy that I got it right... Now I feel very special. ^__^

Also, I now feel really bad for Amon. He just looked all ...fragile... in last night's ep! I think he needs a hug.

[Firefly33]

Dammit, I was wrong. KarriaChinoRyu: 1 Firefly: 0 =P

There go my beautiful theories. :( It just seemed too easy that Nagira was Amon's brother for some reason. I'm still going with my theroy that the two people in the picture are Robin's parents. Last night's episode was awesome. We finally get to see the vulnerable side of Amon, and Robin and him kiss and make up, only without the kissing part (I can dream can't I :p ).

[Kris Planer]

id love to see Amon use witchcraft, seeing as how his father was a witch and his mother was a seed. i wonder what kind of powers he has

[Omar Harris]

No, because Robin is only FIFTEEN! You nasty, nasty girl;) Anyways, It seemed obvious that Amon and Nagira were brother (half-brothers to be precise), since we know they are related somehow. I still don't see how Dojima is a traior though. From what it seems, I developed these theories

1. The orbo is made from parts of live witches (a la Soylent Green). I came up with this because of the dialogue between Zaizan and the doctor last night. That would probably explain how witchcraft can't affect it.

2. Toto and his wife are obviously Robin's parents, IMO.

3. Last night's episode sets Karasuma up to be a traitor. Hopefully this isn't so.

4. Zaizan's master plan seems to be to create something that will wipe out all witches in one stroke, which would make hunters obsolete (hence why the hunters are being hunted).

Of course, any one of these theories could be wrong, so I'll stay tuned.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

"Dammit, I was wrong. KarriaChinoRyu: 1 Firefly: 0 =P"

:p Don't sound so dissapointed. It's all good.

"id love to see Amon use witchcraft, seeing as how his father was a witch and his mother was a seed. i wonder what kind of powers he has"

I'd love to see his powers too! But not at the price of him becoming all mentally unstable... or maybe I would like that, who knows. ^_^;

And I'd also like to know what the heck is up with Dojima. Was she just hanging around with Amon, skipping work, or is she really "in cahoots" with him?

However, there's always choice D: none of the above.

Finally, I'd like to see Michael beat someone up. Doesn't really matter who, just someone. Behold the power of Michael, the all mighty stick figure that sits in front of the computer all day!! MUHAHA

Final final thought: what was up with Michael at the end of last night's ep? o.O

[Firefly33]

No, because Robin is only FIFTEEN! You nasty, nasty girl
You mean the kissing thing? I think Amon's 24 or something. That's only 9 years older. ^_^ There's been worse than that. Look at Kenshin and Karou. They're a big 11 years apart. And don't even get me started on some of the age differences in Card Captor Sakura. But then again, that's Clamp. :p In any case, I was just kidding. ^_^ No, I would mind it, but on the other hand I'm not a big fan of the coupling either.

It seemed obvious that Amon and Nagira were brother (half-brothers to be precise), since we know they are related somehow.
That's why I doubted it, because it was so obvious, it just seemed too simple.

1. The orbo is made from parts of live witches (a la Soylent Green). I came up with this because of the dialogue between Zaizan and the doctor last night. That would probably explain how witchcraft can't affect it.
Actually that's not a bad theory. It would explain why they want to keep the witches alive.

2. Toto and his wife are obviously Robin's parents, IMO.
Yeah, that's becoming more obvious as the show goes along.

3. Last night's episode sets Karasuma up to be a traitor. Hopefully this isn't so.
I don't think she's a traitor. I think she was tricked into coming with Zaizan. An easy way of capturing her.

Don't sound so dissapointed. It's all good.
Lol. I was just kidding.

Finally, I'd like to see Michael beat someone up. Doesn't really matter who, just someone. Behold the power of Michael, the all mighty stick figure that sits in front of the computer all day!! MUHAHA
That would be funny, but I doubt it would happen. As much as I'd like to see it I can't really imagine stick figure Michael beating up someone. But then again last time I doubted something, I was wrong. :p

Sneaky, sneaky Dojima. I almost wonder if the writers decided she was a spy when some of the earlier eps were already finished. I hope Amon's powers develop in the last two eps. That would be awesome to see.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

"And don't even get me started on some of the age differences in Card Captor Sakura. But then again, that's Clamp."

But of course. There's also Seishirou and Subaru, and they have a seven-ish year age difference. And if you consider Subaru and Kamui to be a pair, there's nine years between them.

"That would be funny, but I doubt it would happen. As much as I'd like to see it I can't really imagine stick figure Michael beating up someone."

I can... He can punch the guy and then grab his computer/laptop and beat his opponent with it! HAH... behold the power of technology!

[Firefly33]

I can... He can punch the guy and then grab his computer/laptop and beat his opponent with it! HAH... behold the power of technology!
Micheal smacking someone over the head with a labtop . . . now that I can picture. :p

[Omar Harris]

Age difference is nothing (my mom and stepdad are 10 years apart), but when she's fifteen? Is that even legal in Japan? I realize now that my theory that Karasuma is a traitor doesn't seem to hold up, but you never know...

[Firefly33]

Oh, that's what you meant. In Sailor Moon, Usagi was only 15 and Mamoru was in college when they were dating. Of course, they were destined for each other and what not. And my CCS examples still stand. A whole bunch of students dating/marrying their teachers (Fujitaka/Nadeshiko, Rika/Terada, Kaho/Touya), now that's disturbing. Then again, all those examples are from magical girl series. O_o I wonder if there is a law in Japan about that. If art imitates life, then I guess not. If there is I guess shojo authors just like to let their fantasies run wild, but that's not quite an uncommon thing after all. ^^;

[Omar Harris]

I blanked out last night and don't remember most of the episode. Does anyone know what happened after Father Juliano's revelations?

[Firefly33]

After that, everyone (Robin, Amon, Sakaki, Dojima, Michael, and Nagira) sneak into the factory to find Karasuma. They find the witches they captured in huge test tube things in this hidden room. Apparently they ARE using them to produce the orbo.

[Kris Planer]

well, its over now, and the ending was GREAT! they left a possibility for a movie or more episodes which is great, and i cant wait to watch the episodes again

[xhryzt]

I live on the west coast so it hasn't come out yet. 1 and half hours till it comes on. I can't wait to see the final episode.

[Jmanunknown]

well, its over now, and the ending was GREAT! they left a possibility for a movie or more episodes which is great, and i cant wait to watch the episodes again



i was surprised to see how they ended the show thats the first time i've seen a show blatenly leave possibility for more episodes. i thought it would be more suspensful but i was wrong. it was still a good ep though.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

...This may be a stupid question, but did Robin and/or Amon die?

[Kirarakim]

Although Robin is a lot younger than Amon it didn't really effect me because she doesn't look 15. In fact none of the characters look their age. Karasuma for example is supposed to be 19 (she looks like she is 40) probably getting people with older voices didn't help either.

As for the ending I think they kinda left it up to you, but I don't think they are dead. And although there is a possibility for more episodes I don't think that will happen unless the show becomes extremely popular or something. Although I wonder what else they can do with show.

Well my final verdict was it was an okay series. Not bad, but not the best either. Oh well sometimes I like to watch series that I know I am not going to spend my money on. :)

[Kris Planer]

I dont think they are dead, what i am wondering is....is Ziasan dead...

[Firefly33]

I think Robin killed him, but that, also, might have been left open. I was actually disapointed by the ending, and the series as a whole. After being mildly obessessed with the series for months, I expected better.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

"I was actually disapointed by the ending, and the series as a whole. After being mildly obessessed with the series for months, I expected better."

The end kinda made all that suspense not worth the wait. I became very attached to Witch Hunter Robin within the last few weeks and I was hoping for this great tear-jerking ending.

What I think was done right though was having the whole main cast present in the last episode. It was great to see them together... Especially Sakaki and Michael (points to sig). :p Also, kudos to the writer of the script of the last episode. What Amon said throughout the episode and what Michael said at the end was really neat (was for me, anyway).

What did you people like and dislike about the series?

[Sailor Mars Dragon]

The series itself was suspenseful and enjoyable, but coming to the end, it looked like they were trying to cram every bit possible to reach the end by episode 26, which wasn't as enjoyable as the rest of the series.

[Kirarakim]

Well as others said I was expecting more out of the ending, after I heard the ending was what made the series so great. I fail to see what those people were talking about.

I also kinda felt some of the characters could have been fleshed out a little more. And I liked Amon and all, but the whole which side is he really on started to get on my nerves. I felt it wasn't as much character development but more that they didn't know what to do with his character.

What I liked was it was nice to see a strong female character, not just Robin, but Doujima was pretty cool at first I thought she was a total airhead, but to think she was a spy the whole time. Michael and Naigra were also fun characters.

As I said it was an okay series. I enjoyed watching it these past couple weeks, but it is not going to be one of my favorites.

[Firefly33]

That's exactly how I feel about it. The pacing was so bad. They had so much information that could have been spaced out so much better. Instead they decide to do half the series with episodic plots before the main plot begins, then there's another quarter of the series dedicated to suspense before we get to any real information. Then you only have a quater of the series left to explain everything and try to squeeze in a whole bunch of ethics too that should have had a big thoughtful effect except that it didn't because it was so rushed. I actually enjoyed the earlier episodes of WHR the best. Yes, they were episodic, but they were deep and thoughtful kinda like in the way Cowboy Bebop's episodic episodes are.

Well as others said I was expecting more out of the ending, after I heard the ending was what made the series so great. I fail to see what those people were talking about.
Really? I kept hearing the opposite. I kept hearing that the series had a lot of potiential, but ended up weak. I was enjoying the series so much at the time that I didn't want to listen to them, but now I see what they were talking about.

I, too, think the characters could have been developed so much more. They were awesome characters already. They were just crying out to be developed. WHR's character's win the award for having the most underdeveloped characters that had the most potiential to become so much more awesomer and complex. =P

What I liked was it was nice to see a strong female character, not just Robin, but Doujima was pretty cool at first I thought she was a total airhead, but to think she was a spy the whole time.
I actually don't like Dojima as a spy. I don't think it fits with the rest of her development throughout the series. I feel like the writers threw in that she was a spy more than halfway through writing the series. In anycase, I think she's the best developed character in the show. I agree about the strong female characters. It was especially nice that a strong female was the title character.

[Kirarakim]

The reviews I read came from Anime Academy. Although I seem to agree with a lot of their reviews I think this is a perfect example how a review site for anime is not the be all end all.

The series as a whole got an 83%. One person gave it a 94% but it's score was diluted by the other reviewer giving it a 73%. However both reviewers said the ending, last part of the series was what made the series. So I guess that is what I was waiting for.

I guess I agree about Doujima's change not being realistic, but I liked that it was unexpected.

[angelonline2]

I thought everything was going fine in the last ep until the last 2 min. That was probably the dumbest way they could have ended it. But did anyone notice how similar it was to Big O's ending. It was more descriptive of course but they made it appear exactly the same as it began with a few differences.

But of the entire series I love the episode where Amon saves Robin to be the best. It was beautiful!!!

But I do agree the char. could easily have been more in depth. Amon's witch background for example. All they mentioned about it was that it was there! How dumb!! If your gonna introduce something as big as that you have to go more in depth. But they were just "Oh BTW Amon is a seed, now back to the show!" And where just like :eek: HOLD IT!! Amon is a WHAT!?!?
But they never mention it again!!!!!

I never noticed how fast the pace seemed to pick up...it seemed kinda natural..slow in the beginning then gradually pick up speed. But now that you mention it it was a bit rushed wasn't it.

The ending was totally disappointing. Though it was a little amusing when Robin called Amon her watch dog. And when he said it it didn't seem nearly as cold as it could have been. especially with the "before it consumes you" it was like he was saying "I'll kill you to save you" :p

[Firefly33]

But of the entire series I love the episode where Amon saves Robin to be the best. It was beautiful!!!
I hafta agree with you there. Even though I said I enjoyed the earlier episodes the best, the ep where Amon saves Robin would probably have to be my favorite episode.

[Shiro the Commander]

WHR was nice while it lasted. I need to rewatch WHR cus I missed certain scenes while doing my dang hw lol. I do agree with the folks bout the ending. So much info finally released near the end. I just really wonder if there ever will be a movie or 2nd season? Only time will tell.

[Jmanunknown]

yea i notice how similar it was to Big O's ending also it was created by the same person as Big O so their might be some similarities. i think its the 3rd best of hajime yatate's series of course i rank Big O and Cowboy Bebop ahead of witch hunter robin i liked them more and i think they were better.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

Just so people know, on On Demand there's a section for Adult Swim which has the first three episodes of Witch Hunter Robin available right now. The original, full-length opening and closing themes are present. o.o The opening's animation is very interesting...

[Ace of Spades]

The OP and ED music and animation both rock. Adult Swim On-Demand sounds pretty cool. They've got s.CRY.ed on it good stuff.

Anyway, I've got the WHR DVDs so I'm pretty much set without this OnDemand stuff.

[Buster Blader 126]

Witch Hunter Robin is finally airing in Canada!

YTV is showing it at 10:30 on Fridays. I finally got a chance to see the 1st episode.

It looks very interesting. The art looks a bit different from what I usually watch, but it looks nice. There is alot of dialogue, but that doesn't matter to me. When I started watching it, I thought Robin was a witch (I didn't even know it was her until halfway through the episode), but she turns out to be a hunter. *smacks head*

I hate how Canada gets the anime 4+ months later than the USA...

[Ace of Spades]

It's a great anime and it only gets better. You should keep on watching and tell all of your other friends to watch it! Support WHR!

*points to avatar and sig*

[Jmanunknown]

Witch Hunter Robin is a good anime not a great one. It may be a little boring to some people at times because, the story does move slow but, its worth watching.

I personally believe that WHR has great replay value. In fact, I've started rewatching some of the episodes just to remember the great times I had watching it.

[ReFoRmEd]

I actually liked Witch Hunter Robin....but i missed like more than half of the second season or after the whole gagng was seperated by the Company that supposidly wanted the Orbo...

[Buster Blader 126]

Is that person running the coffee shop a WOMAN or a MAN? Honestly, I don't know, could someone tell me? I was watching the 2nd episode about 2 hours ago, & I noticed & remembered the person.

& is this anime still running & airing new episodes in Japan?

The bartender at Harry's is indeed a man. He's referred to as "Master". He gets an episode centering on him as episode 10. The anime finished in 2002 in Japan with 26 episodes. There are currently no plans for a sequel or spin-off unfortunately.

[Buster Blader 126]

Awww, only 26 episodes? That's about as short as Love Hina.

So he is a guy. I seriously couldn't tell, as his voice kinda sounds girlish, & he looks like there was a change of gender involved. At least that's what I think.
Thanks for answering my question.

Yes but, don't forget in 2005 there will be a live action mini-series of Witch Hunter Robin produced by The SCI-FI channel. I have hopes for this series also because, SCI-FI already had a similar Mini-series to Witch Hunter Robin and thats Fire Starter- Rekindled and it was half decent.

Yeah, but the problem is, I don't really trust SCI-FI enough for them to not turn it into another "Buffy".

[Jmanunknown]

THey won't turn it into another Buffy is not gonna be a TV series its gonna be a mini-series i think its actually gonna be pretty good because, the story is not a wild vivid imaginative story. I mean seriously if Sci-fi wanted to they could just transfer the story directly from the anime nothing needs to be changed to make this story come alive in live action its already ready for live action in my opinion.

[Tsurai-Shi]

I've only seen the first 2 episodes so far on YTV and i'm not really impressed...although i heard from a lot of people that it starts slow

[Ace of Spades]

I've only seen the first 2 episodes so far on YTV and i'm not really impressed...although i heard from a lot of people that it starts slow

The first ten episodes are very episodic like Cowboy Bebop. A cohesive storyline doesn't start until episode 13, which is one of my only gripes with the show. But the first 10 episodes are lots of fun to watch because they're standalone. Episode 4, 6 and 9 are good ones IMO.

[Rocket Warrior]

I've watched all the episodes that they have shown so far on ytv seems good,but I think ytv has only shown like 2-3 so its really not alot to go on.Gonna watch tonights episode I think its a wicked show.

[Buster Blader 126]

Yes, YTV has only showed 3 episodes so far, because they only show it 1-2 times a week (they also airs on Saturday around 1-4 AM). I watched Friday's episode, & I liked it. That scarab guy was very interesting indeed.

& congrats on making Top 8 for the CotD contest Ace of Spades.

[Ace of Spades]

They're releasing a WHR complete set in November. It's a brick set and it contains all six DVDs as well as a set of nifty pins. But if you already bought the individual releases (like I did) you'll be kicking yourself for not waiting. There are picture of it (as well as the s.CRY.ed set) here. (http://www.animeondvd.com/news/pr.php?pr_view=440)

It's like an ancient book thingy and it's got a nifty DVD holder rack. I'm really regretting buying the individual discs right now. At least I got the box and soundtrack.

& congrats on making Top 8 for the CotD contest Ace of Spades.

Notes of congratulations are always appreciated. Too bad I didn't win the whole thing, but I'm still happy about making the top 8.

[KarriaChinoRyu]

That's an awesome box! Maybe I could ask for it for my birthday...

[Shiro the Commander]

Holy crap! Those box sets look really nice. I'm sure they are going to be really pricey though.

[Ace of Spades]

Holy crap! Those box sets look really nice. I'm sure they are going to be really pricey though.

You'll probably be able to find them for about 100-120 dollars, provided you shop at the right places. ;)

[Buster Blader 126]

Ooohh, that box set looks nice. I can watch them everyday, not once a week like I'm doing right now. I wonder if they're coming to Canada....

& I have to say, out of the FOUR episodes I've watched so far, Ep 4 is my favourite. That witch was pretty freaky, but cool.

"You soiled, you soiled, you soiled...."

[Card Slinger J]

It's too bad Adult Swim took Witch Hunter Robin off the air. I was actually beginning to like that show, but they had to replace it with Wolf's Rain instead.

Come to think of it, I kinda like Wolf's Rain myself as well.

[Shiro the Commander]

We can only keep our fingers crossed if Adult Swim ever decides to air Witch Hunter Robin more than one airing at a time. It would be nice to see Witch Hunter Robin again, seeing as how I didn't pay much attention to certain important scenes.

[Buster Blader 126]

Adult Swim isn't airing WHR??

Well, it really doesn't matter for me, since I live in Canada. Although I wish I could see it more than once in a week (episode-wise, as YTV airs the same episode again at 1:30 AM on Saturday).

& I have another question. What does the Orbo do? & what happens if that container-like part is full?

[Ace of Spades]

& I have another question. What does the Orbo do? & what happens if that container-like part is full?

As far as you should know, Orbo negates powers associated with the craft. Full containers represent maximum stopping power. But you'll eventually learn there's more to it than meets the eye...

[Buster Blader 126]

I kinda knew about the Orbo, but I had to make sure. I didn't know about the fact that a full amount would protect the Hunter better than it usually would. Interesting.

About the WHR complete collection thing, another site said that it would come out in October. We'll have to wait and see, though.

AnimeOnDVD (http://www.animeondvd.com/) has the release date as 10/26. I think I messed up when I originally posted the release.

[Buster Blader 126]

I saw it while browsing www.animenewsnetwork.com. Perhaps Ace of Spades did get it wrong, but hey, everybody makes mistakes. & really, we're gonna have to wait and see. I really don't mind the release date, as long as it's before Christmas. :) I DO mind the price, however. It's approx. $149.99, & that's in USD. >_< I'm guessing about $179.99 CDN for me.

[Ace of Spades]

According to ToonZone, Witch Hunter Robin returns to Adult Swim on November 8th at 1:30 EST, replacing Lupin III.

[Buster Blader 126]

1:30??? How late do they air the anime on Cartoon Network??

I'm already starting to beg my mom for the complete collection, & right now, she's (hopefully) considering it. & I finally got an avatar going, with Robin on it. ^_^

btw, isn't that the spider dude from Beasties/Beast Wars on your sig, Ace of Spades? I forgot the name, as it's been a long while since I watched the show.

Adult Swim places their emphasis on mindless comedy, which pushes back anime (or at least the ones not called "Inuyasha" or "Cowboy Bebop") to the late hours of the night. Shame really...

Very cool avatar. And yup, that's Tarantulas in my avatar.

First off i'm glad WHR is coming back. AS puts an Emphasis on Comedy because, its what makes AS so popular it gets huge ratings. Besides Inuyasha, and Cowboy Bebop most of the other animes that AS showed on the block flopped in the ratings. Also Cowboy Bebop gets good ratings at every timeslot they put it including 1:30 it doesn't matter where they put the show. I'm just glad to see WHR back. To bad Conan was taken off. i'm just glad the Conan fans are being civilized about this for now because, if its not back on AS within 3 or 4 months it could get bad.

I'm quite aware of that. It just annoys me sometimes.

Ah, I see. Well, it's good to see that the USA is getting WHR back. I can't wait for Friday, as I get to watch Gundam Seed & WHR! :D

WHR is now one of my fave anime. I haven't been so hooked on an anime since Pokemon. XD

[Ace of Spades]

From AnimeOnDVD:

Jessica from Bandai has informed us today that the heavy rains on the west coast have caused some flooding in their warehouse, and that they are temporarily suspending shipping operations until they can get the mess cleaned up. They have not yet shipped three late October releases, the .Hack//Sign, Escaflowne, and Witch Hunter Robin limited boxed sets, and now these titles may not ship in time to meet the 10/26 street date.

*goes to watch his complete set of individual WHR DVDs while everybody has to wait* :D

[Buster Blader 126]

NOOOO!

Please don't tell me this means that the Complete Collection will be delayed....

[Buster Blader 126]

I watched the 10th episode of WHR today, where the person running Harry's was part of the main focus.

It was quite interesting. Robin & Dojima working at Harry's to look for a witch, Amon breaking up with the woman who lets Robin sleep at her place, realizing that the guy had a son, & more.

I believe episode 10-11 is where the story stops using the "witch of the week"
approach, am I correct?

Bingo. Episode 11 sets up the first part of the big story. Episode 12 and 13 are the big build-up, and in episodes 14 and 15, everything's shot to hell at the STNJ.

I lost interst in WHR well before episode 11. I'll try and pick up where I left off since AS is running it again, but it's showing at the crappy 1:30 AM time slot.

[Ace of Spades]

I spotted the new Complete collection at Best Buy today, and it looks pretty spiffy. It's actually a lot bigger than early pictures made it seem. It's about an inch taller than a normal DVD package and about 2 inches wider. The "binding" sticks out far, leaving a rather ugly looking gap between the edge and the actual DVD-package. It apparently opens up like a book, and on the back, there was an Orbo Pendant-shaped window showing off the three pins. (Robin, Amon, and the group) The back shows the description of the series and lists the contents. Nifty release. They were selling it for a (relatively) affordable $99.99.

[The Instuc-TOR]

Buster Blader 126, yah, 11-13 is basicly the point where WHR pulls away form the witch of the week thing.

[Buster Blader 126]

oooh, only $99.99 for the Complete Collection? Even when converted to CDN, that's not as much as I thought it would.

I watched episode 11 on Friday. It seemed like a "witch of the week" episode at first, but as usual, I was proved wrong. This episode seemed to have somewhat more action compared to some of the other episodes, which was alright. That old lady freaked me out too. How is she involved in the story?

Just wait. You'll see, I promise. ^_^

[SiegFreid_DEKNI]

It's nice to see the rest of the episodes...I remember when CN stopped airing episodes a while back....

EDIT:wow...seems like I killed this topic...

[Buster Blader 126]

I watched the 12th episode on Friday, & I gotta say, that was one heck of an episode.

It was just plain weird. That sign showing up at the STN-J, the Salem Witch (old lady I believe), Robin being accused of being a witch, what else can possibly happen?

I honestly think that Robin can be a witch, because of those powers of hers. Normal people just don't have that kind of power.

[The Instuc-TOR]

lol, ep. 12 is basicly the turning point in WHR, in 13,14 and 15 ALOT of stuff happens, so nobody miss them ^_^, I know I'm watching it tommorow :D

edit: knowing what some people don't is fun!... ok so i havn't seen anything beyond ep. 20 but the whole witch of the week thing stops at ep. 11, although this is just another weekly witch hunt, the "old woman" is an important character as shown in ep. 12. ... but in ep. 13-15... well all i can say is... enjoy!

[Ace of Spades]

Episodes 13-15 are easily the best of the series. I never grow tired of watching them.

[The Instuc-TOR]

no doubt, ... if you miss any of them it pretty much messes up the rest of the storyline, so watch them or you'll be lost! it's where all the action is! ^_^

[Buster Blader 126]

Watched Episode 13 on Friday, & it was...weird.

The "inquistor" came and did some test with this witch. Apparantly he killed somebody who was trying to attack him. I thought that he was being a bit unfair to the witch, as he had to protect himself in some way. A shocking thing during the episode was that when some ppl started to beat the witch up, he just turned them into balls and made them explode. Another shocking thing was that Amon's Orbo had no effect against the witch. Robin had to eventually burn him to death. :cool: The inquistor also had a talk with Robin about her powers, and that she might be a witch. The convo proved to be interesting.

There was one part that got me a bit ticked off. Amon was talking to their boss (that guy who smokes & wears a green suit), and they cut Amon off when he was going to say something important!

boss: *says something about Robin, forgot what he said*
Amon: *shocked expression* Robin is a -
*episode ends*
me: OMGWTF! NOOOOO!

Was it YTV's fault that they cut off that last statement, or did they cut it out on purpose??? :confused: Also, how come the orbo didn't work against the witch?

[Ace of Spades]

The line was always cut off. You didn't miss it. The witch had gotten too strong for the Orbo to affect him.

Ahh, I see.

Watched the 14th episode tonight, and I liked it. Had more action than usual, at least imo. & my frnds they say that it's boring! That'll show them.

Anyways, it was a very interesting episode. Robin getting shot by that anit-witch bullet thing, the STN ambushing her & that lady's house, Dojima doing nothing, and other stuff.

I didn't get 2 things, though. What did those signs mean? And why was the boss kicking Amon? What was the "plan?" :confused:

WHR always leaves me with questions... X_X

That wasn't the STNJ that ambushed Robin and Toko's apartment it was another group of people which will be explained later in the series. I'll tell you about the signs but, i don't know if you want me to tell you why the boss was kicking Amon and what the plan was because, they are spoilers for the next episode 15 Time to say Good Bye. I can't remember what the ring of Ogham does but, the other Ring that was in front of Toko is used to block a witches powers. The Ring of Ogham might be used to block witches powers also but, i'm not sure. I'm pretty sure someone else can tell you about the other Symbol if i'm not right. Your gonna enjoy episode 15 next week its a major episode in the series so you can't miss it.

I see, so they're not from the STN. They didn't say, so I just assumed they were from the STN.

I can't wait for Friday's episode!

[shadow magician]

I saw the episode last night, is Amon still alive?

[Ace of Spades]

I saw the episode last night, is Amon still alive?

You can tell he's alive at the end of the episode. Unless they cut the ending out for some reason.

[Buster Blader 126]

I've read a couple of spoilers (got tempted) before I watched the episode, & AMon is indeed alive.

I also watched the 15th epsiode, it rocked.

It wasn't as good as I hoped, but that must be my high expectations. It still rocked, just not as much as I would've thought. The ending was so sad, Amon told Robin to go to the underground tunnels while stalling for time against those 1337 hunters.

It had some shocking events, like Dojima ACTUALLY taking her work SERIOUSLY & actually ordering that bald guy around. It's like they switched places. How come Dojima suddenly became serious?

[Mr. Smith]

Ep 15 is one of the key episodes... the ones that if you miss, you'll have absolutly no idea what's going on.

and yes Dojima becomes serious about her work!

and yes Amon is still alive, this is made clear by the quote "this wasn't a hunt." This quote was the last thing in the episode, so it is possible to miss it accidentaly.

Meh, i'm looking forward to watching English episodes instead of Japanese ones with subtitles... and as a Canadian, I must wait until next friday to watch 16 and not consistantly reading the bottem of the screen :(

oh well! ^_^

Welcome to the boards.

I have to wait every Friday for them, cause I'M CANADIAN TOO! ^_^ Americans are lucky, they already had a chance to see the entire series, as they're re-runing them there. I think us Canadians might miss this week's episode, as it'd be X-mas Eve, & they wil most likely air X-mas specials instead.

[shadow magician]

I hope they don't show christmas shows, Although they probably will.

[Innerhell]

yeah...
I was watching WHR last night on Toonami
it was kinda sad
the STN-J took that married couple
THOSE S.O.B's!

eh...
my fave episode was with that doctor dude who could transfer life forces or something like that
probably the reason's because his VA's the same as Spike's (Cowboy Bebop)
he just sounds so cool
it's too bad he dies

.......

That was one of my favourite episodes too. He didn't seem to be a bad person at all, he did (mostly) good things with his powers. It seemed like he was God. I was shocked that he took his own life for his actions, I was screaming "you foolish man!" as he did it. It was quite sad. :(

Well, I guess I have to wait for Anime-nia for my WHR.

*sobs*

[Mr. Smith]

whoot, we canadians get double WHR this friday, as well as double Gundam and 2x InuYasha, 2x DBZ, 2x Yugioh and... *shudder*... 2x teen titans

this entirly makes up for those christmas shows...

[Buster Blader 126]

We're not supposed to get 2 episodes of Teen Titans, unless that's done on the Zone....

Yes, since Bionix didn't air on Friday (X-mas specials) They're airing last week's episodes this week along with the one we're supposed to watch this week.

I can't wait for Friday! :D

[Buster Blader 126]

Last week's WHR shocked me.

I remember watching this episode of WHR sometime in the past, I dunno how. It was the ep where Robin goes to this couple's place, and they talk about their daughter, who was a witch but disappeared. After she left, the father used his power, which caused those elite hunters to hunt them down. Very sad. The end part where Robin caused all those blue flames cause of her emotions were pretty cool, though.

Only 6-7 eps remain until the series ends here in Canada. :(

Your getting into the good parts of the series now alot of good stuff happens in the the last bunch of episodes.

[Buster Blader 126]

Your getting into the good parts of the series now alot of good stuff happens in the the last bunch of episodes.

Yeah I know, they're getting better & better, especially the one I watched on Friday.

I watched episode 20, where the STN-J get a new hunter called Saustra, a French-looking guy who leaves a paper crane behind whenever he kills a witch. He also uses the element of air for hunting. Well, his orders from "HQ" was to hunt down Robin. Nagira finds out that the Fragment was stolen, & he & Robin eventually had to go to the walled city to retrieve it. Karasuma & Sagaki also go to the area to investigate.

Sum guys had the fragment, but Saustra came & made quick work out of them to take the Fragment. Robin & Nagira approach him, & try to attack him, but their efforts were in vain, while he dodges Robin's fire, slows down Nagira's bullets to a stop, & smacks them both with blasts of wind. Robin seemed like she was going to lose, but then she was able to see Saustra's wind blasts, due to the Fragment. She was able to deflect the wind blasts, & the tables quickly turned for Saustra, who eventually got burned alive cause of Robin. The Fragment of Wisdom was burned as well, as Saustra burned it before that battle (I think). However, Robin realized that she didn't need the Fragment anymore, & that the Fragment had already heightened her powers, hence the title of the episode, "All I really oughtta know."

Sagaki & Karausma arrive late, & find Robin lying there, tired. They started to approach her to help her, but AMON arrives, :eek: & tells them to stay away from her.

Amon: Do not go near her. She's no longer a hunter, she is now a witch.
*disappears into the shadows*

Overall, I thought that it was a good episode, but I have a question:
Why did Amon finally decide to show up, & did anything happen to him during his abscence?

Oh nothing happened to Amon during his abscence but, why Amon finally decided to show up will be exlained later in the serie. Just wait theres alot of stuff that is gonna happen in the last 6 episodes

[Ace of Spades]

When Amon fully re-enters the story, he has an awesome entrance in episode 22. As for that episode, it was one of my favorites. Sastre was an interesting villain and should've been in a couple more episodes rather than getting killed right away. It sort of turns into a "Hunter of the Week" plot for a couple of episodes, but still stays interesting.

[Buster Blader 126]

Indeed, they still turn out to be interesting.

Last night, I watched Episode 22, titled "No Way Out."

A new hunter arrives, but the STN'J do not know who it is. Apparantly, it's this old man, making signs all throughout the city. Zaizen has a guy update him about the Orbo. Nagira lurks around for info, & Amon stays in his car, looking up for info on his computer. Your typical talk scenes.

Robin eventually meets up with the hunter, whose craft seems to be of Earth. He almost had her, as he created some sort of illusion & tried to strangle her. Robin eventually realized that, & she sealed the hunter's fate.

I liked the episode, can't wait for next week's WHR. Only 5 eps left. :(

Btw, is there anything I can do to add more WHR info for Pojo's Anime site. It seems like Ace of Spades has done most of the work I would've thought about doing. :rolleyes:

[Ace of Spades]

*shifty eyes*

It seems like I'm getting to everything that everybody else wanted to do. I never did any episode summaries for it, just listed the episodes.

ya i watched that one too.....i stopped watching this show for too long and i have no clue what's going on...too many plot holes for me to fill...like what's up with Amon and Robin up to this point....

It's become shockingly apperent that if you miss but 1 episode after 12 your compleatly lost the rest of the way ^_^

And finally WHR is nearing the end in Canada, only 4 more to go!

[Buster Blader 126]

*shifty eyes*

It seems like I'm getting to everything that everybody else wanted to do. I never did any episode summaries for it, just listed the episodes.

It certainly does. I would do a review on them, but I can't remember every single episode in its entirety. If I can remember everything from the episode I'll be watching tonight, I might do a review. I will definately attempt to do them when I get the DVD box set, though.

& yes Mr. Smith, there are only 4 more episodes left (including tonight's) in Canada. You just HAD to bring that up. :(

Any other Canadians watching tonight's episode?

[Buster Blader 126]

On Friday March 4 2005, Witch Hunter Robin aired its last episode in Canada. Being the WHR Fanatic I now am, I watched it.

Personally, I thought it was decent. Not the best ending, but certainly not the worst. I heard that they edited out a part of the last episode out in the end, which was crucial, as it proved that Amon & Robin were alive. Without that part, it seemed like they were dead. Oh well, I'll watch that part when I (eventually) get the Complete Collection. But WHY did they make a cliffhanger on the last episode?! :eek: Arrrgh!

I'll write a synopsis of the last episode, but I forgot the tabs to make it invisible. Does anybody know?

Also, since .Hack//SIGN won't air until April 1, that leaves Canada 3 weeks. I hope they're WHR re-runs. :D

SPOILERS.
The ending involved the guard reading his horoscope as he did in Episode 1. His lucky color is again black, and a dark car pulls up outside the building. A pair of black boots and the hem of a dark overcoat step out of the back.

I was rather dissapointed with the cliffhangar myself. I liked how it wrapped up the other STN-J team members stories though. I also liked how Kosaka gets promoted into Zaizen's former position.

[Mr. Smith]

Also, since .Hack//SIGN won't air until April 1, that leaves Canada 3 weeks. I hope they're WHR re-runs. :D

Unfortunatly the replacement for WHR in Canada at the moment will just be a 2nd episode of inuyasha... meh.

[Buster Blader 126]

What?! :eek:

*frantically checks YTV's schedule*

NOOOOOOOO!!!! :(

*sobs*

Anyways, I'll post a recap of the last episode in WHR. I'm not gonna bother with the invisible text, so BEWARE OF SPOILERS. This isn't a prefect review either, as this is based entirely on memory:



*SPOILER*


Robin sees the body, and is shocked. A conversation starts about how they need to move quickly & that Zaizen will find them if they don't act. They eventually leave the room.

*The WHR name comes up, they don't show beginning scene. yay.*

Zaizen finds out that the STN-J crew are in the vacinity, & calls for security. he also tells the scientist guy to send him any of Todo's research that he has.

The STN-J crew reach the elevator, but they can't open it. Michael manages to get into the computer system & control the elevator. He also tells the crew that Zaizen has found out about them, and is sending security around & in the entire building. The elevator opens, & Nagira & Dojima decide to go to the main floor. Sagaki decides to stay with Michael to protect him, as he has to help Nagira & Dojima get upstairs. Amon & Robin decide to pay Zaizen a visit. The 3 groups seperate.

While Nagira & Dojima go up via elevator, the security reaches to where Sagaki & Michael are. There were quite alot of narrow shots, & Michael had to scrunch up in a corner to avoid the bullets. Something happened in the system, & Dojima & Nagira get stuck.

Zaizen talks to the scientist about the research, & turns to face Karasuma. He passes a Orbo gun to her, as he tells her to either join the hunt, or become a fugitive & be hunted just like Robin. She takes the gun & leaves.

Michael eventually gets the elevator to run again, & the 2 people in the elevator arrive at the top. They have a little pep talk, & they duck beside the elevator doors. Dozens upon dozens of gunshots erupt, & the elevator wall is riddled with bullet holes. Dojima & Nagira jump out of the elevator.

Amon & Robin arrive at Zaizen's office. They have a talk about whether Robin wants to see the rest of Todo's info. She agrees, & then a screen appears, with Todo being recorded. He explains about how the project Robin started, & how the child (Robin) was supposed to be the devil's child. At this point, Zaizen stops the recording, & insults Robin. Suddenly, Karasuma comes, pointing the gun at the scientist's head (he was running the tape). She tells the scientist to continue the recording. Todo goes on to say that witches are the hope of the future, & it enrages Zaizen. He tells the scientist to erase all the recordings, but Karasuma tells him to continue. Todo explains more information that angers Zaizen even more. He refuses to believe what Todo said, & suddenly gets out an Orbo gun out of his desk.

He goes on to say that the gun contains some of the purest Orbo made. He shoots Amon, who collapses. Robin tries to use her fire, but it did nothing. Zaizen scoffs at Robin's attempt, & tries to shoot her. Robin was able to burn the bullet; the Orbo drips onto the ground. Zaizen feels the side-effects of the Orbo, but continues to shoot Robin. She burns all the bullets. Zaizen excapes through an elevator.

Zaizen is beginning to doubt himself, & how he was wrong, & how HQ & Todo was right. As he thinks about that, fire starts rushing up the elevator, & it consumes Zaizen, taking his life.

Karasuma rushes to Robin, & they hug. Amon goes on to say that he'll be watching Robin from now on, & he'll kill her if she ever goes out of hand. Robin agrees. Suddenly, something happened to the copmuter system, & it initiated a self-destructing sequence. Everyone tries to escape.

HQ & Kosaka, along with the police arrive at the scene, as the building collapses. Dojima & Nagira got out, but got seperated. Michael & Sagaki stumble out, & they find Nagira. They wonder if Amon & Robin survived, & Nagira assures them that they are safe.

Karasuma wobbles out, & finds Dojima. Dojima asks if Amon & Robin survived, & Karasuma doesn't know. Dojima thinks they died, or something like that.

Michael starts to narrarate, saying how basically everything went back to normal. Almost. Amon & Robin disappeared, & they apparantly received a new witch. Michael wanders outside the STN-J building, wondering where the Witch & her bodyguard went.

The End. *joyous moonwalking*

*END SPOILER*

It's been a good 26 weeks of WHR. It will be missed dearly.*salute*

[Buster Blader 126]

O.M.G.

I finally got the Witch Hunter Robin box set!!! :D

This weekend, I went to the Canadian National Expo. I was frantically searching for it like a guy who lost his wallet. Thank god my friend found one for it. I bought it without a second thought,

When I got home, I looked at its contents. The 3 pins that come with the box are pretty interesting; I might actually wear it a couple of times. The box itself looks really good visually, as it looks like one of those books of the craft. I love it.

I haven't gotten a chance to see the episodes yet, but I know for sure that I'll be watching the last episode first, as apparantly a crucial part of the ending was cut when YTV aired it. After that, I'll watch the series all over again with subs, to compare the English & Japanese versions.

On a further note, Witch Hunter Robin will also be re-runing on YTV starting September. The exact time is unknown, though.

[Ace of Spades]

Pretty cool. I would've gotten the box, but I already have the singles, which are nice. How much did you pay for it?

Wow, YTV is re-airing the series. That alone indicates that it performed far better than it did here on Adult Swim. It's only been rerun a couple times, but never beyond the fifth episode or so.

WHR did ok on Adult Swim but, it didn't do as good as Adult Swim expected it to.
Adult Swim has ran through the entire WHR series at least 5 or 6 times

Pretty cool. I would've gotten the box, but I already have the singles, which are nice. How much did you pay for it?

Around $180 CDN. It costed a little bit more than I had hoped for, but I heard that it was starting to go out of print (which I believe now, since I only saw it at 2 booths at the convention, and the other one sold it for $200), and that I wanted it so badly, so I bought it regardless. As the above post of mine stated, my friend helped me find it. I was so happy that I paid for his lunch. XD


Wow, YTV is re-airing the series. That alone indicates that it performed far better than it did here on Adult Swim. It's only been rerun a couple times, but never beyond the fifth episode or so.

Yeah, it is. Anime usually tend to do better up north than in the USA, or so I've heard. The only exception to that statement was Gundam Wing. It really doesn't matter to me anymore, though. :D

Also, it has been confirmed that Witch Hunter Robin will be airing on Wednesdays at 11:30 PM, and Fridays at 1:00 AM during the Bionix block, starting on September 7 & 9 respectively. So if any Canadians want to catch it again, they can do so.

Moblie Suit Gundam bombed on Toonami as well. They cancelled it early because Gundam got worse ratings than reruns of DBZ episodes that had been running for the past 3-4 years. Then we got "Dragonball Block" for almost a month. o.O

The WHR complete Collection is still on Amazon for $120.

It was LE, but it's still a good deal. You're missing a couple extras by not buying the first DVD. That set is probably the only way to buy it since it appears that WHR won't be airing anytime soon on AS and the singles are very expensive.

I find it cheaper to buy it as a set than buying all the single DVD's. Also, the Limited Edition Vol. 1 boxes usually disappear after a few months or so, & I'm sure that was released a couple of years ago.

I watched episode 26 again too. I finally got to see the clip of WHR that got cutted. I didn't know they put it after the credits though; I thought it was cut was made before the credits. I really did want to know how Robin & Amon escaped the Factory, but oh well.

I've also watched the first 4 episodes in Japanese with subtitles. Honestly, I don't see too many differences between the Japanese and English voice actors, except for Yuji Kobari (guy who runs "Harry's", aka "Master"), whose English voice actor sounded a bit feminine to me, but I've grown used to his voice, so I don't mind it much. =/ I honestly think the English dub sounds fine, at least IMO.
