Hi so this anime doesn't seem to popular I never hear people talk about it and it seems so low on MAL in score and popularity I think ir deserves higher rating and more popularity. Was this anime more popular when it first came out then got forgotten about or has it always been underrated?

What are your thoughts on this anime did you think it's good/rated accurately or underrated? or did you hate it?

I can't say if the rating was higher when it aired. the actual one seems correct to me.
Personally I like it a lot, watched it many times, but yeah no one ever talks about it...

maybe the pacing is too slow and it needs some commitment to get to the main interesting plot, and the main character's personality is rather bland, if you don't like her from the get go, it'll be difficult to get to witness the badass robin. finally the ending is a bit lacking, I would have loved to know what happens next, it kind of leaves you hungry for more.

Tf do you mean most underrated... may want to change that title. It was a long lost show that came out in the early 2000's jumping on the vampire trend buffy season 7 had a hand in that. It wasn't even that popular back then and had a sh.t ending aswell.

I think it's way overrated as it is. Watched it back in 2008 and thought it was horrible. Not quite as horrible as most cheap anime nowadays, though. But back then expectations were higher, since anime had better production values and writers on average.

They need to re-release it on blu-ray and I definitely don't think it's completely underrated, maybe a bit. There's alot they could do to continue the series after that lazy ending.

Didn't watch it when it aired originally, but picked up the DVD bundle when it was on sale in the US after getting a copy of the Japanese art book in a mystery bag at an anime con around the same time. I thought the character designs were cool and after reading the summary of the series, I thought it would be a good change of pace. I wasn't disappointed.

I rated it a 10 at the time. I had seen less than 30 anime series in their entirety/to completion at the time, and thought this one was way ahead of the pack compared to most of the others I'd seen. If I saw it again today, I'd probably give it an 8. The story kinda falls apart/becomes less clear at the end if my memory serves correctly. Though it has been around 10 years since I sat down to watch it. Might do that sometime this month.

Robin and her fellow hunters, and their boss, and the Church/Organization they all work for at political odds with each other behind and trying to figure out all the backstabbing out...was a lot. LOL. The way a variety of the powers were depicted for their time and the fact that Robin needs glasses to properly "focus" her abilities as a guy who has worn glasses his entire life was a nice relatable touch.

I definitely think that WHR should be recommended and passed around more, but its rating is pretty accurate. It was one of the first anime I ever watched and even then I could tell the story was flawed. The animation also hasn’t entirely withstood the test of time. Despite that, the themes and power system that WHR tells is worth sharing.

No, it's crap. Rating should be even lower.

I wanted to enjoy it more but I felt the plot was a big nothing burger. But the music was very calming and the best part of it to me.
