reasons why the ending of Witch Hunter Robin was infuriating
i wrote this in families class because i was horribly bored and it was really bothering me. this has spoilers in it (it’s all about the ending) so if you intend on watching it, don’t read this. for the rest of you, enjoy.
- it was a climax to something that only mattered if it was continued in a second season
- there was no confirmation of Amon & Robin’s escape. not a damn thing. no silhoeutte scene, glimpse of a coat or anything.
- the last scene of a new hunter was confusing and misleading. misleading in that we believe that there will be another season.
- it was rushed and still didn’t really explain anything
- no confirmation of the feelings felt by Amon for Robin
- what is Robin supposed to be? if witches couldn’t pass on their genetic makeup, why did they have a list of witches and their kin?
- again: lack of knowledge of Amon and Robin
given these, it’s still safe to assume that they are alive according to Nagira’s comments, and the fact that they’re missing together. the fact that they’re missing together also somewhat proves their love or at least the beginnings of it. WHR could easily be made into a second season. there are endless possibilities and storylines. however, it seems doubtful that anything will be done as it has now been two and a half years since it first aired. there’s still hope that if american audiences really enjoy it, it may be done, but it’s not likely. now that i think more about the ending and the entire season i realize that the writers actually gave the audience credit in being able to figure things out. they didn’t spell everything out for everyone. they gave enough clues for people to figure things out, but i still like having it spelled out for me. i think the embrace when Robin left was the main indicator that Amon loves Robin in the romantic way. plus the whole not catching/killing her deal. and breaking up with toukou. so now that i analyze it, it’s pretty obvious what his feelings are/were. good. i’m glad i did this.
there. that’s the whole thing that i wrote verbatim. when i first saw the ending i was so mad. i was like ‘WHAT? that can’t be it! come on, there’s gotta be more. give me something!’ but that was it. the end. after i wrote that little piece, i saw that there was more to the ending after all. i had to piece it together from the other episodes. i really like that series despite the lack of an obvious relationship between the two main characters. i really like the opening theme song. actually, i really like all of the music in this series. too bad i can’t find the soundtrack. i think i might just buy the uber gift pack for $150. yea, it seems worth it. anyway, i’m going to go do stuff.
