You are Robin - quiet yet powerful

You are Robin! Still young and a bit unsure of
your abilities, nonetheless you are a force to
be reckoned with, a real hidden dragon

Which Witch Hunter Robin Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I've seen all the eps and I liked WHR overall, but the whole thing between Amon/Robin still amuses me in a sick sort of way. You're initially watching the series, you can sometimes forget Robin is only 15 yrs old (I believe that's mentioned in passing in ep1), but she is indeed only supposed to be 15. Amon is 25. Robin also happens to be a nun.

At first Amon (who reminds me a lot of that Michael character from "La Femme Nikita") is a total jackass to her for some unbeknownst chip in the shoulder-esque type reason. He doesn't necessarily warm up to her either. Then again no character in the series really states what they're thinking of feeling very often ... so you have to go by what little they do say or their actions. That's just a little more specific with cold, serious Amon.

However, you get to ep14/15 (can't remember which), it's made pretty clear Amon also has feelings for Robin... which isn't too surprising since there was a thing there from the start and it had been on a slow build since. Amon also dumps his quasi-girlfriend (Touko) and it's eluded it's partly because of his feelings for Robin. In this revelation ep, you're all mushy realizing Amon isn't only reciprocating Robin's feelings, but has pretty much shown more emotion then he has to date on top of being a knight in shining armor (He sacrifices himself to save Robin)... until you remember AMON IS 25 YEARS OLD AND ROBIN IS A 15 YR OLD NUN! Which just makes you feel all kinds of sick and wrong for being all mushy two seconds ago. It makes me wonder if this series was specifically designed to explore the dark, disturbing corners of one's personality... or try and trick you into pedophilia. Heh. Probably both.

It was never clearly illustrated, but I think we're supposed to assume Robin and Amon knew each other in past lives or whatnot. At various times in the series, Robin has visions of herself in old garb. The nature of Amon and Robin's connection also makes you think they knew each other before, but never met before Robin joined STN-J. I guess that makes the Amon/Robin thing slightly less unnerving, but yeah... 15. 25.

Filthy, dirty anime... yet I can't stop watching it? What does that make me I wonder? You can't take it too seriously, obviously, but I certainly wouldn't have been complaining too much had Adult Swim fudged on her age a little.

In other related news, this doesn't surprise me...
