Witch Hunter Robin (2002)
O anime se passa em pleno século XX onde as bruxas fazem parte da realidade. Algumas existem sem consciência do que são, ou do poder que têm, outras usam esse poder para ganhos pessoais. No entanto, ainda existem aquelas que usam o poder para tentar quebrar as leis. Para isso foi criado o grupo STN-J, formado pela organização secreta conhecida como STN. Esta organização é composta por bruxos e bruxas, formando assim um círculo de poder quase implacável contra outras bruxas que ameaçam Tóquio. Quando um dos integrantes da equipe é morto sob circunstâncias um pouco suspeitas, é destacado então um novo e poderoso membro para o grupo, capaz de manipular o elemento do fogo. É aqui que surge a protagonista principal da história, Robin. Ela é capaz de colocar qualquer coisa ou pessoa em chamas só com o seu olhar.
