Review
Witch Hunter Robin is a dark and highly enjoyable series. The tone of the show is serious and comedy is almost nowhere to be found. The show has a very professional feel to it and it looks like a high quality production. The characters are really well developed; their interactions and conversations give them a life-like feel.
The first several episodes of the series are episodic mystery cases where the group at STNJ investigate crimes where a witch might have been involved and then attempt to capture that witch. These episodes not only do an excellent job building great characters, but the cases that are investigated are very enjoyable. Once past this point the main story comes into play and some dramatic changes begin to take place.
The first arc sets up the fundamentals, and the second takes what you thought you knew and throws a lot of smart twists and turns at you. Witch Hunter Robin has religious references and it incorporates real historic events such as the Salem Witch Trials. For the most part the show's pacing is on the slow side, but I never found myself bored.
Most of the episodes have some action in them. This usually involves a witch fighting another witch. The action is handled well, with a few breathtaking scenes. The animation is excellent and the backgrounds, which are done with pre-rendered CG, do a great job creating a more realistic atmosphere. The animators created a world that looks very convincing. The background music fits the show really well.
Witch Hunter Robin is a show that grabbed my attention from the start and didn't let go until it ended. I highly recommend adding Witch Hunter Robin to your collection.

It does deal with witch craft, but it's more related to powers than spells or chants. There are also some religious references relating to witches.
