Movie Reviews of Witch Hunter Robin - Arrival (Vol. 1) With Series Box and Collectables
Movie Review: A laid back series
Summary: 5 Stars
Witch Hunter Robin is a laid back series even though it is meant to be different. It's a perfect blend, not too much action but just enough to keep you interested and the story catches your ear as soon as the show starts. The series is very relaxing but not boring as young Robin enters a coffee shop to have an unexpected important conversation with a bartender to help settle her into her new home. She was in an Italian convent but she was never a regular child so now at 16 she returns to where she belongs in her native Japan. She has something that can help her contain and destroy witches, she can create fire that becomes a powerful weapon but no one truly knows her level of strength. You are in for a ride but you don't find a major mystery until the middle of the series and you won't crack it until the very last episode and even then you may still have unanswered questions. These first episodes are just to settle you in to get to know the witch hunting team of the STNJ and their abilities and also the fantastic main character Robin.
Summary of Witch Hunter Robin - Arrival (Vol. 1) With Series Box and Collectables
In a world where witches abuse their supernatural powers, a special team is tasked with hunting this new threat to society. This organization is known as the STN and comprises of several highly skilled craft users and experts in covert operations. But their most powerful craft user is a young woman named Robin. Her mysterious gift to summon deadly flames will determine the fates of her colleagues and lead her into a dark world of mystique and witchcraft! From the creators of 'Cowboy Bebop' and 'Argentosoma' LIMITED EDITION Collector's DVD Box Included w/Witch Hunter Robin Original CD Soundtrack IncludedRaised in an Italian convent, 16-year-old Robin Sana returns to her native Japan to join the STNJ, a secret organization that captures, rather than kills, witches of both sexes. The typically mismatched crew includes hacker Michael Lee, rookie Haruto Sakaki, psychic Miho Karasuma, Yurika Dojima, the spoiled daughter of a prominent family, and icily aloof Amon, the de facto leader of the team. As a "craft user," Robin can conjure fire as a weapon, but has some trouble with her aim. Witch Hunter combines the subdued palette of Blood: The Last Vampire with the alienated tone of the Vampire Princess Miyu OVAs. The elegantly designed settings and skillful use of color are more interesting than the flat stories about pursuing the supernatural murderers. Included in the extras is the Maelifica Compendium, a veritable gold mine of mythological misinformation. (Rated 13 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
