I recently rewatched el cazador de la bruja.

Total ammount of episodes: 26

Genre(according to ANN): Adventure,drama,mystery

El cazador is about a bounty hunter called Nadia. She captures a bounty called Ellis, but instead of turning her in to the authorities. She ends up helping her. All you find out early on is that she needs to go south. Guided by a mystic gemstone.

That might sound like a poor premise, but the characters are very charismatic, and some of the early episodes. Are just cute stories that have little to do with the main plot. Wich is about what Ellis is, and her trying to find clues about some of her lost memories. (not amnesia, just lost fragments)

There are people who are after them. Some just want the bounty, and others.... Have different objectives.

One of them is called L.A. Who seems to look like the male counterpart of Ellis. His weapon of choice is a giant wire(that pops out of a ring attached to his wrist) that can slice trough metal like it was butter. He is insane, and he hates humans. All he wants is to be with Ellis.

They are also followed by a guy named Ricardo. A bounty hunter that is more famour than Nadia, but his objective isn't to capture them. He has a companion named Lirio. Wich is a cute little girl that isn't his daughter, but is very important to him. (not in a Chris Hansen encounter way)

El cazador has an excellent soundtrack. One of the most elaborate i remember hearing.

The scenery is pretty interesting. Very well made backgrounds, and the characters are fairly unique. It's a bit hard to tell where this is set. It definetly isn't Japan. The closest i can think of would be America. Even if that gives a wrong impression. At times it looks like it could have been set in the old west, but then you see modern guns, and cars. There are a few locations that looks modern though. It sounds weird, but it's incorporated well.

Score: 4/5

Well, i only review anime that i would recommend. I'm glad that my review was that compelling. I thought a couple of paragraphs were a bit iffy.

It was an "okay" anime...to me at least...
I suggest watching Noir and Madlax, both are very similar and I thought were better...

Thanks for the recommendation
Posted Apr 29, 2008 12:45 pm PT
wait a live action GTO , well i guess that would work though, but still it sounds funny to me . Oh but yah i found it on veoh.com so maybe if you still want to watch it you could find it as well. If you have any trouble just PM me and i'll PM you the link.
