awesome old school stuff ^^

[kisftw]

@ People making comments on age

They mature faster over there. It's a culture thing. Deal with it.

[LordKhain]

@kisftw Hm what do you mean? :X

[kisftw]

@LordKhain In japan, culturally, people mature faster. They're not like americans.

[rezzah]

@kisftw

Any specific reasons why they do?

You mentioning that is the first time I've seen it, and it is interesting.

[BlackGrapes]

I didn't like this song at 1st, but it's sure grown on me the more i listen to it....

[Casicko]

That's a western obstacle for us... the age issue. In western culture, stories' protagonists are always ideally in their 20's (our peak of perfection- we're our strongest and most attractive at this stage, apparently) but notice how stories tend to wrap around teenagers and young 20-somethings in most Anime? That's their ideal peak and it helps create a lot of conflict because at that age they're still struggling to develop emotionally.

[esara6]

Sweet BLue'S melody

[Gundamhazel]

awesome song

[voidhunter82]

I don't know why, but I absolutely HATE the Amon x Robin pairing. She should be with Michael.

[Nonsensei436]

@voidhunter82 Honestly she shouldnt be paired with anyone. Shes 15. She shouldnt even be doing any of this. The whole premise of the anime is undercut by her age. Still, i love the anime so i just pretend shes in her 20's.

[voidhunter82]

@Nonsensei436 I do agree with you. I meant after the series, when she is older. I should have clarified a bit better. Sorry

[rezzah]

@Nonsensei436

That was the only issue I had with the anime, her age. At 15 and to be in a secret agency? She does have powers so that's understandable.

I always wonder about Amon's age...

[Nonsensei436]

@rezzah According to wikipedia Amon is supposed to be 25. It also says Miho is supposed to be just 19 years old, which is almost as ridiculous as robin being only 15. TBH if they just straight up added 10 years to everyone's age it would make a ton more sense.

[anaelyssa]

Wonderful song and wonderful anime!!

[allthatishere]

man, i loved this song when i first heard it and its only grown on me even more! Ive been trying to found more songs by Chino Takayanagi a.k.a. Bana, but to no luck what so ever. :(

[akari98]

i love it it makes me cry yet i still love it im rewatchin the anime for the 5 time hahaha but i love it to much

[SnowOwl1988]

Even my fiance likes this and he doesn't watch any anime.

[youngmerc12]

absolutely love this song. Never completed watching the series however

[allthatishere]

@youngmerc12 me neither, im doing it right now tho!

[DeidaraC5]

So damn beautiful. Tanks.

[Mrkawaii12]

One of the best Openings! Robin is soo pretty~! :3

[DakariKingMykan]

I think I'll use this song for my Teen Titans High School Musical for BB and Terra's description... it's so dark... so wicked...

[kuwano134]

このアニメクオリティーが高かった

[AnyCruz]

I JUST WANNA CRY

[HaltsTime]

Thank you

[Yue268]

It's been years since I've heard this song, I need to watch the anime' again.

[Umba]

Forgot how good this song is!

[Br0lyy]

- the best song ever... :)

[tonyjoseph89]

did you change the vid??

[ChibiGeeBee]

This describes where I've come from so well.

[GamePreorders]

I freakin love this song. What an awesome soundtrack. Anime itself not so awesome though :)

[hakuseiDESU]

I love this show so much only because Robin is a really amazing well built character that you could believe exist. For example, she doesn't need big boobs to get by...(Like in some anime *coughcough*), she has her problems in the show, she can over come them and finds new ones to scale. She's a really well built character with an equally unique design. Loooovvee this show! Oh..of course Robin isn't the only amaing one...lol >__>;

[codydks]

@hakuseiDESU I do agree that Robin is indeed an amazing character; however, don't diss big breasts. They make the world go 'round.

[TheGreenysky]

hey you

-thanks for the transulation!

[stormtroo1]

I love the anime so much and all the music.

[onlymemory200]

wow this brings back so many memories lmao

anyhow, its great to be listening to it again ;)

I miss Witch Hunter Robin now

[0BALLINN0]

what happened at the end? I got bored when I was watchin it cuz it felt like it was movin incredibly slow but that was when it was on ytv

[marieta110887]

the same with me :p

but my friend told me that robin got attacked and got killed with her guy but at the end they showed that she is still alive and run away...something like that

[codydks]

@marieta110887 In which case, your friend shouldn't talk about things he doesn't really know about. Robin did in fact get attacked by Zaizen, armed with the purest Orbo ever created, he had high confidence. Too bad for Zaizen, Robin is basically the queen of witches. She stopped the supposedly invincible shots with ease, and as Zaizen attempted to flee via his personal elevator, Robin turned him into charcoal.

[sxystar41]

@marieta110887 If you want to read a fan fiction based on " what happens" after the explosion that I would recommend reading " The Burning Times". It's very well-written.

[IdeologyWar]

The factory crashes down on Robin and Amon, as everyone else escapes. After the credits a character dressed like Robin approaches the main entrance of the STNJ, suggesting that Robin, at the very least, survived.

[19anTonyo89]

I love this anime.. davvero stupendo

[XxPushoverxX]

i love this song, and whr is still my fav anime <3

[akari98]

who sings this song from wat album i i want it !!! (: caan soneonetell me

[Rikimaru024]

[AnonymousBasterds]

Lovely song. Long live my dead cousin!!!

[Commandos12]

@AnonymousBasterds long live the what now? ... wait how does that work O_O?

[mewalchemist]

love this song! but, not as much as i love the anime! KYAAH!! I REALLY LOVE AMON!!! -squeals happily- thanx for uploading this!!

[Kim11860]

A couple did a witch hunter robin at the London expo. They were in the mascarade. Looked good. Amon never kisses Robin. The dog....

[TheTerrorUforgot]

@Kim11860 Guys really shouldn't play hard to get, you know?

[IdeologyWar]

@Kim11860 That's because Robin is like, 14.

[LordKhain]

@Kim11860 probably because of the age difference?

[Velimirius]

awesome anime,and great intro/ending theme :)

[esaman]

I have to agree. The music, character design and the atmosphere are the only good points of this anime. I'd recommend to enjoy those and not expect anything else.

[charles125]

Yeah, but the atmosphere was so good because of the plot, all the mystery and development.

[AlannTH]

WHR is one of my favourite Anime's just love the characters and Atmosphere.

[Pandora622]

The ending sucked in this anime, I felt totally let down.

[4lbatross]

It is a little depressing, but not bad.

[lalajadeeyes]

Yeah it didnt have closure which is what people want most of the time. But it is implied that Robin and Amon are together, and went somewhere into hiding... it took me a second watch to understand the ending.

[KimIsMissing]

They didnt die though! Robin and Amon escaped.... if you look closely

[77racy]

@KimIsMissing

Really?

Where did you see them?

[LIA661]

one of the best japanese songs!!!!

[esara6]

so this is between robin and Amon right??

[TheTerrorUforgot]

lol wut?

[backstab66]

a very good song indeed.I need to know japanese hehe

[newshoespro]

i wanna watch breaking bad lol

[sokhan]

i disagree the beat has a sad feeling to me happy songs usually faster and higher sounding instruments

[prede89]

Yeah it''s a sad song. Feels like someone remebering a happy past, but their sad, and just laying down on a bed and moving around all depressed like...at least that's what it puts in my mind haha

[lembeeno]

I like the translation, but what exactly does it mean? They lyrics sound so sad =*( it's like the songs beat sounds kinda upbeat and strong, but the lyrics sound so sad.

[dkstalker]

Agreed! =)

[therockisback10]

thanks for this video and translation ;)

[12eebok]

I remember this show, one of the first shows I really watched on TV, disregarding DBZ and Escaflowne.

[AvariceWP]

I was actually disapointed with the show- especially the ending. It felt... unfinished to me. They could have done so much more with romance of the story. Also, for what its worth, Amon is kind of a jerk. Didn't like him.

[prede89]

yeh i hated amon as well. Very unrealistic character. i love the show, but that character did the things he did because the plot called for it, not because the character had any reason to do it, which bothers me, because otherise it;s a very good show. Watch Ergo Proxy, same kinda thing but better writing IMO

[AvariceWP]

Oh, I have watched Ergo Proxy. It's great I think its better than WHR.  I'm gettin a lot of thumbs down for my first comment- whatever. I like WHR, I just felt that it had so much unused potential.

[prede89]

Ah glad you enjoyed Ergo Proxy. Dai Sato is an amazing writer, that's why it has none of the problems this anime did. Oh and Witch Hunter Robin was good, but it had a lot of unused potential, I agree with you there completely.

[tokee1234567]

i felt there needed to be something more to the ending as well... all the excitement that was built up in me fell apart with the ending..

[Paulalankely]

Took me forever to find this song :D

[xXPaperPlanes]

i miss this anime D:

[Sakurahimenee91]

The pic at 3:20 is really pretty! :D good job, I love this vid!

[myfireburnswithin]

The translation is so good :)

[KHcarnation]

I wish they would make a sequal to this. Really.

[SofiaSwe94]

I so AGREE!!

[MahoShonen]

There are alot of shell songs out there.

But I love that you included BOTH sets of lyrics.

Nice pictures by the way.

[graboid90]

I like this song. I like your video. I love this anime.

[SenorMatthew]

[KimIsMissing]

Good song; great vid.
