 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Witch Hunter Robin
She's a witch herself, but uses her powers of pyrokinesis (fire manipulation) to help the STN track down others like her, but with less noble intentions.
Fellow reviewer, Christina Ross, said: "Witch Hunter Robin is almost like something Chris Carter would do if he directed an anime series." This is actually not far from the truth.
