Witch Hunter Robin Review

After MONTHS of downloading, I finally finished this series. I really was very interested at the beginning. The gloomy and dark feel intrigued me, and the animation was top-notch. The main lead, Robin, was a mystery that pulled me towards the show. Rather arrogant, silently, and green in some areas when she first started, she was humbled somewhat by the seniors like Amon and Kawasumura. But she took it in her stride and accepted the lessons gracefully. When she finally was in control of her powers in the early eps, I thought much more was installed for us viewers. However, the middle part of the story failed to engage. Many episodical events, mainly on the hunts of witches by the STNJ and how circumstances affected different witches to react, and do what they did. I won't say that they were unimportant, as they somewhat affected Robin's conflicting views of the witches and how she will come to terms about what she is. But there were just too many of such eps that it degraded to unnecessary filler. The story picked up at 14/15 but went downhill again. After that, even when more was revealed, the show just did not pack enough suspense and thrill to get back that enthusiasm.

Another show that shows how ignorant and ugly human nature is:
We fear what we do not know and we twist what we cannot have into something ugly. Jealousy and the huge crave for power...

Overall: 7 (it would've gotten an 8 if the story weren't that predictable and Amon not that dislikeable)
