Movie Reviews of Witch Hunter Robin - Anime Legends Complete Collection
Movie Review: Robin's a keeper...
Summary: 5 Stars
At the STNJ, a clandestine government organization, employees are tasked with hunting down and capturing witches and removing them from society. Ostensibly, this is to keep them from becoming menaces as they recognize and begin to use their powers.
When one of their own is taken away as a witch, a young Italian raised nun, Robin, is sent in as a replacement. She quickly proves adept as a hunter, and takes initiative in hunting, proving herself invaluable to the team.
Viewed as an action title, Robin seems episodic, with the "monster of the week" feel to it. But in watching this series carefully, you realize that, just as in the storyline, not everything is as it seems.
Witch Hunter Robin is an excellent Gothic mystery, full of symbolism, twists, turns, and clues.
Characters develop throughout,and not one is the same as when the character was introduced.
As Robin grows and changes through the series, she learns many things about the STNJ, her often shady co-workers, and her own mysterious past.
This title deals with witchcraft, a subject offensive to many. The initial portrayal is that all witches are evil and should be removed from society. The series deals with its own demons by demonstrating that there are many forms of evil that man visits on his brother, and addresses the paradox of fighting evil with evil. The characters themselves often struggle between what is good and evil when witchcraft is involved, giving the show a vividly realistic feel.
For those concerned with violence or nudity, there is violence, but it is not gratuitous, it is used only to advance the story by demonstrating the various witches' powers. There is no nudity. Robin is seen in the bath from her shoulders up from time to time.
This title is definitely worth seeing, again and again.
