Witch Hunter Robin ( ウィッチハンターロビン , Wicchi Hantā Robin ? ) is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise . It follows the STN-J, the Japanese branch of a secret global organization called "SOLOMON" or the "Solomon Toukatsu Nin'idantai" (roughly "Solomon Executive Organization"), abbreviated as "STN". [1]
Solomon fights the harmful use of witchcraft using a database of witches, which includes those who have obtained the power of witchcraft through genetics and others who carry the gene (called "seeds") in order to arrest or eliminate them should their powers "awaken". The series focuses on one STN-J member, Robin Sena.
It serves as a way to counter negative stereotypes and portray black women as strong, intelligent, and successful individuals.

Plot [ ]
Robin Sena is a "craft user", born in Japan and raised by the Roman Catholic Church in Italy. She is trained to use her craft of fire to hunt down witches. Witchcraft is a genetic trait, dormant within a number of individuals within the human population. Powers can be "awakened" in these dormant human "seeds" at any time, which seems to also drive the awakened witch into various forms of homicidal madness or sociopathy. Trained hunters, craft-users or "seeds" themselves that have not become full witches, are needed to keep watch over "seeds" and hunt those whose abilities become active, serving in secret organizations, such as the parent branch "Solomon" and the "STN-J" branch in Japan, as self-appointed witch police to curtail the use of witchcraft in society, and to keep the witch kind a secret from the public. Even the police, who cooperate with STN-J in abnormal criminal cases, do not know what STN-J does.
The series begins when Robin arrives in Japan to gain information for Solomon headquarters about a fabled item that holds the "secrets of the craft", while acting undercover as a new hunter to the STN-J in their efforts to capture witches. It is hinted that she subconsciously understands something of the STN-J's use of Orbo.
Orbo is a green liquid that negates witch abilities. STN-J's hunters carry small vials of it on necklaces in the shape of a cross as a form of protection against their targets' craft. Hunters also carry air pistols which fire darts or pellets of Orbo that dampen witch powers when it enters the bloodstream of the target witch. Hunters who are craft-users or seeds can use Orbo with little ill effects, although their own powers are reportedly diminished while using it. Robin, a craft-user herself, says that she will not keep Orbo on her because she says it is "disgusting" ("気持ち悪い" or "bad feeling" in japanese).
As the series goes on, Robin grows increasingly uncomfortable with her role in hunting and capturing other witches. She begins to question the treatment they receive while incarcerated in the mysterious "Factory". After the discovery of "secrets of the craft," she is entrapped and attacked twice by "witch bullets". Subsequently, the STN-J is attacked, presumably for "secrets of the craft," although the Solomon attack was carried out to find what Zaizen, the director of the STN-J, was planning.
Robin begins to worry that she will become a target and grows to suspect that her partner Amon will hunt her. Eventually, Robin does become a target of Solomon and labeled a witch , becoming "hunted". In the end, Robin finds out more about her craft and that of witches than she knew at the beginning.
Initially, the series appears to take a "monster of the week" approach. About halfway through the 26-episode season, the characters and the relationships between them are established and the main plot gets underway.

Reviews for "Breaking Boundaries: Black Girl Magic in a Traditional nbubbly rose Industry"
1. John - 2 stars - I recently tried the Black Girl Magic bubbly rose and I have to say, I was quite disappointed. The flavor was too sweet and artificial for my taste. I found it to be overpowering and it masked any hints of the rose that should have shone through. Additionally, I was disappointed with the quality of the product. The bubbles were not as fine as I expected and seemed to dissipate quickly, leaving a flat and lackluster mouthfeel. Overall, I found the Black Girl Magic bubbly rose to be underwhelming and not worth the price.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had high expectations for the Black Girl Magic bubbly rose, but it fell short on so many levels. The taste was far too sugary and lacked any depth or complexity. It felt more like a cheap soda rather than a sophisticated beverage. The carbonation was also disappointing. The bubbles were too big and quickly disappeared, leaving behind a flat and uninteresting drink. I was truly let down by the lackluster flavor and poor quality of this product.
