I'm very interested in seeing that. Since they've actually hired decent people to do it it might actually be good. What is everyone's view on this?

wow! I'm very thrilled with the idea of seeing a live action Witch Hunter Robin on Sci-fi. I hope they don't follow the story of the anime too closely. I think I'd be interested in seeing the same characters in a different story arc. It'd be nice it this series added on to the anime in some way rather than remake, but I doubt that'll happen. However, as a big fan of the show I now have something else to look forward to besides WHR coming to CN.

Since most anime character of the original anime is non Japanese or even look like one, it might work.

Witch Hunter Robin was an alright series at best... imo... it crapped out in the latter stages of its run....... however... an american show based on it may work.... i just hope it doesn't turn out like buffy or any teen shit like that......

I like the idea a lot. I'll be looking forward to it. I need all the juicy J-Dramas I can get!

Wandering_Youth · 2004-01-23, 03:49

Hmm, very interesting. I saw 5 episodes of Witch Hunter Robin but I never did like it , however I am interested to see the live action show.

Lonewolf · 2004-01-23, 06:42

Sounds interesting, I liked the anime alot so I just hope they dont screw up the story or anything.

The story is screwed up already, what else could they do to screw it up?

Uzumaki626 · 2004-01-24, 15:18

Im guessing it will be something like the movie Firestarter 2, about some girl that could cast flames. I hope the effects are as good

I admit it wasnt exactly the greatest or most original story,but I just dont want them to mess up the story allready then it was and push ppl away, I really want to see the reactions ppl have who have seen the anime.

Well, i think it could be pretty damn sweet. Hope they keep the dry and smart tone of the show.

btw, my casting pic for Robin:

michael_cho_my · 2004-01-25, 16:45

Evan, eh?
Well, yeah I guess since she doesn't look like a japanese at all I think it'll work.

I like the series a lot and iI'm looking forward to this. When is it going to debut anyway?

lol why would it turn out like Sailor Moon live action. Its going to be directed by a well known American director and well funded so it will have talented actors to act in it, I hope. I just hope it doesn't turn out like another Buffy or some teen drama show.

SirJeannot · 2004-01-25, 17:29

why? why not ... it could happen
well, let's hope it'll be driven by the original plot, not something else
