Witch Hunter Robin

[timepiececlock]

Watched episode 1.

Attractive opening and closing sequences, smooth and glossy animation over all.

Rather dark screen colors. Feels like watching Fight Club or the early seasons of The X Files. Everything's dark all the time.

I like Robin's wardrobe, but her hair annoys me. I'll get used to it.

Amon's character design reminds me of Angel from BTVS. And not in the good way. Still, the entrance scene where he landed right in front of the dude was pretty cool.

I'm curious to know what's so bad that these people have to be hunted down. So far in the first episode, we see the Witch Hunters attack, and the Witches just flee or retaliate. If they're captured, they're either killed or imprisoned. All seems very cold and brutal to me. I'm feelin' for "the other guys" here more than the protagonists.

Oh well, We'll see.

WHR is a lot like lain. it's going to take several episodes before you know what's going on. i love robin's character design. i love how unaware she is that she's wearing this huge dress & coat. she'll sit on the floor, run, skip, whatever. & i think amon will grow on you. you're right about the angel comparison, but angel's infinitely more predatory.

I never got beyond 4 episodes of Lain. But I had someone explain it all for me.

Good to hear!

Bunnies frighten me.

Oh, God, it's the Creepy Donnie Darko Bunny. *TWITCHES* I haven't even *seen* DD and he freaks me out, because my roommate (who has seen DD) would creep up on me and use the Creepy Bunny Voice. "Heeellooooooo, *head twitch* Kaaaaawcrooooooow..." *SHUDDER*


This post was really apropos of nothing, wasn't it?

Here, look at my spuffy default Icon and feel better.

You haven't watched Donnie Darko?!?!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, WOMAN!!!!

My god, you HAVE to watch it. I know your tastes in movies enough by now to say that you'll LOVE it.

As for the rabbit suit... it's pretty creepy. When I made my brother watch the movie he said "I'd love to have that as a halloween costume." I agreed.
