I had wanted to see this for a while and when I did I was somewhat disappointed, it isn't bad it just wasn't as gripping as I'd expected, however after watching it a second time I enjoyed it far more. It took a while for me to get into the story as the early episodes seemed fairly similar. Thankfully it picked up quite a bit later on once Robin was on the run so it is worth persevering with if the early episodes don't grab you.

Robin works for STN-J, an organisation that attempts to catch witches. The hunters themselves are "craft users", in Robin's case she can summon fire. As the series progresses she begins to wonder why they are hunting witches and when her own powers develop further she finds that she is the one being hunted.

I have no complaints about the animation as it was beautifully done throughout. Unlike a few animes I've seen they played down the violence so if you don't like the sight of blood it is okay. I watched some episodes with subtitles and others dubbed and found them both to be pretty good which surprised me as I'm not usually a fan of dubbing.
