I always try to give an anime a shot, probably more than a movie. Even the so-so ones are watchable. I will have to say that “Witch Hunter Robin” was unwatchable after the 5th episode.
“Witch Hunter Robin” is about a witch who joins a group of witch hunters that are like the police force for witches. Robin is young and hasn’t learned how to control her fire power. It’s kind of her personal journey to becoming a powerful witch hunter.
The plot sounds great, but the characters didn’t help it any. They were probably the most one-dimensional anime characters I have ever encountered. There was no depth, so I had no reason to care about them. Believe me, I tried. The only who grabbed my attention somewhat was Amon. He had this mysterious air about him, or it could have been because his persona was undeveloped.
To me, it seemed as though the creators of “Hellsing” saw this anime series, and decided to make one of their own that tried to fix the problems that this one had.
Very disappointing.
