Witches are individuals with special powers like ESP, telekinesis, mind control, and so on. Not the typical hogwart and newt potions. Robin, a craft user, arrives from Italy to Japan to work for an organization named STN Japan Division (STN-J) as a replacement for one of STN-J's witch hunters who was recently killed. Unlike other divisions of STN, STN-J tries to capture the witches alive in order to learn why and how they became witches in the first place.
Witch Hunter Robin is a pretty cool anime which aired in the U.S. on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2004–2005. There are a total of 26 episodes.

A show about a girl named Robin Sena who moved to Japan from an Italian Monestary (sp?). She has the ability of Pyrokinesis - The Ability to light fires with her mind - (also known as "the craft)" and she joins a group known as STN. This group hunts witches, but does not kill them. They are sent to "Factory." The gothic look and episodic style of anime is quite intruiging!
Dude: *yawn* "I was up late watching Witch Hunter Robin yesterday..."
Dude2: "I know it's good, but your grades are dropping!"

Good anime, but sadly the main charecter is a pathetic goth-waif chick, as current style MUST dictate.
Guy: You know, WHR would be a good anime if it weren't so horribley cliche'd and stereotypical.
Chick: Yeah, cut the whiney goth shit and put in more emotion.
