Another title that perked my interest, despite how uninteresting it appears to others. Witch Hunter Robin is a title I found back on Adult Swim, and even today, it's still a fond memory of mine.
The members of the secret organization Solomon Tokastu Nin'idantai, or STN, dedicate their services to hunting down those who uses witchcraft in a harmful manner. This happens only when one "awakens", becoming a witch. Solomon's job is taking down these witches, due to their violet behavior. Broken into many branches, the anime follows the endeavors of STN-J as well as one of it's members: 15 year old Robin Sena, a pyrokinetic craft user and titular character. However, what awaits her, as well as her partners, are more than just a simple hunting job...
The anime ran for 26 episodes, created in the Sunrise Studio (the same one behind the Gundam franchise), and licensed by Bandai Entertainment. It deals with the supernatrual, but it's also that of an Occult Detective genre. The English voice of Robin is Kari Wahlgren, while Crispin Freeman voices her partner Amon, and Johnny Yong Bosch voices Haruto Sakaki. These are just a few of the voice actors you'll hear in the anime English wise.
The series is kinda spooky to some, and despite that the performances are flat, as they say, the roles are suited well enough. While others didn't see much in it, I found it kinda eye-catching, because it was kinda dark. Witch Hunter Robin scores a 7.9 of 10.
