Witch Hunter Robin

From Asaction

Witch Hunter Robin is one of the darker animes that [AS] has shown though this one wasn't really given the justice it deserved.

Plot

The plot is rather simple on the surface: Trained witches are set out to capture rogue witches whose powers are out of control. The STN-J is the Japan branch of witch hunters; the rogue witches they hunt are sent to "The Factory," and the STN-J believes this is a humane way of dealing with the rogue witches.

Members of the STN-J

Chief Kosaka - is the head boss for of the STN-J. He is a bald and often nervous man. He fears disappointing Zaizen, who runs "The Factory."

Amon - a rather quiet person with a dark attitude, he doesn't say any more than has to be said and he takes his job as a witch hunter seriously. Amon himself is not a witch but a seed. Amon uses an orbo gun and is an incredible shot.

Robin - Robin is a pyro witch who was raised in a convent in Italy and was sent to the STN-J as a replacement. Robin refuses to use orbo and relies on her natural power during missions.

Sakaki - was the "newbie" before Robin came. He mostly just hangs out around the office playing video games and goofying but he can be serious when he has to be. When out on a mission Sakaki carries an orbo gun but isn't great at using it.

Doujima - a shopaholic who got pushed into the job by having family connections. She is rarely on time and spends most of the day reading fashion magazines.

Karasuma - a very sophisticated-looking woman, she is able to pick up strong feelings of sad and happiness from people and objects. She also carries an orbo gun.

Michael - the team's computer wiz, he spends his time keeping track of missions and case files on his computer.
