tarotgalI just watched the first 8 episodes of Witch Hunter Robin today... I'd seen a few before, but I watched 'em back-to-back. I really like it, though I'm terribly confused about the differences between witches who have powers and people who have craft powers. Why're the former bad and the later good? I don't quite get that, even if it has to do with witches passing their powers down by generations.
Anyway, it's very beautiful- though not nearly as beautiful as Wolf's Rain or Weiss Kreuz Gluhen. But I impress easily and find some of its art styles and angles very interesting. I could watch Robin pick up her hair ribbon numerous times! :-) The dubbing is painful at times when it pauses with bad inflections... wish I'd seen the original with Yuuki Hiro as Michael (he did such a good job with Omi's computer genius ways, after all) But it's really interesting to watch this series knowing nearly all the English voice actors are going to be doing the voices for Wolf's Rain characters when it hits CN in April (Amon's voice actor is PERFECT for Tsume's voice). I really like Robin's voice- really fits her very well, but I really can't picture that voice with Cher. She sounds way too young. Gah... I hope they don't destroy WR when it hits CN...
Amon is wonderful. I love him. Dark and mysterious and strong and commanding and sensitive and the way he sneezes- DAMN he's gorgeous! Really, though, he's damn hot when he sneezes... episode 5... drool... I'm having very bad fantasies about that episode now *G* I'm sorry, but when they purposefully have a character sneeze just to show some h/c between two characters (and he carries his own handkerchief) I go a bit weak and very grateful LOL!
Michael- yeah, I love the dorky geek type. And the fact that he can never leave is a rather interesting character trait.
But Sakaki- DAMN but he's adorable! I just want to snuggle him every time he's on. I dunno why, that's just my reaction to him. Plus as the "newbie" I keep imagining him getting hurt a hell of a lot. LOL He's got a couple REALLY good hurting moments already in the series (two h/c moments with Robin which were so sweet) Yeah... he just screams out "I get hurt a lot and need some comforting" even if he happens to be a pretty tough cookie, too. Just compared to Amon... well, everyone looks a little weak. But I think Sakaki's my favorite character behind Robin and Amon. Followed by Michael *G*
Damn. Oh, and the girls are great, too. I actually really like Robin. She's a great character- weak and strong and very pensive. I like.
But Master(the guy who tends bar at Harry's) I'm sorry, but in the English dub version the guy CREEPS ME OUT! He sounds like a child molester!! All soft and creepy and I expect him to suddenly say "Would you like another cup of coffee, Robin? Or maybe we can go into the back room and you can pet my monkey, hmm?" Ew ew ew. I'm sorry, he talks WAY too softly and leadingly and I can't exactly describe it, but he just creeps me out big-time. Even when he's being all nice and giving her tea when she has a cold and all, he's just creepy to me. I REALLY hope in the Japanese version he's a better character.
*sigh* I want to go watch episode 5 again... gah... I'm sick. LOL But DAMN he's so cute with that little build-up and refusing Robin's tissue and oohhh I've already got a couple plot bunnies in my head about him. Which I don't need right now, LOL!
