Oh! it's FAB-u-lous! a fascininating pastiche on pigtail schoolgirl chic! if we could just tease it out a bit more and maybe streak in some highlights it would be perfect!

Option 2, if you couldn't pick up on the sarcasm.

I like her hair, alot. It's creative, it's definetly distinguishable. There's also alot of character you can take from the style aswell. Robin is 15, this caught me way off personaly, I'm going to guess her age is going to have some signifigance, especialy since everyone else is considerably older. So what is a distinguishable character of young girls? Pig tails/pony tails. That said it's also a symbol of some sort of innocence which could be shown through the series, that she is just a little girl thrown into the dark, grim, noir world around her because she has a special skill.

That said, I clicked the second option, because I don't care. It's hair.

Well as I mentioned before, it does not matter much if the Hair style is good, it is just my own openion in it, I just hope we don't get any flammers on who does not like Robin's hair, I mean for any chance if someone drew her, it would be very cute and all.

I personally don't care. Robin Sena is what Animerica once called "A Lolita-Goth princess", the style suits her.

Did I miss something or is a discussion on Robin's HAIR this important?

Voted Option 2.

Robin's hair is tight! Anyway why are people making such a big deal out of it? Anyway, i like it, but the first think that caught my reaction when I saw her was her hair.

I don't like it, but honestly, it isn't that big of a deal. It's hair. Chop it off and she's still an underage girl who sleeps naked, rubs up against televisions sets, and doesn't smile much.

I like it, but overall I don't care, so I voted " I like it" after seeing the hate in the talkback.

From a wanna-be critic's POV, it makes sense, not only with her personality, but to distinguish her not only from the rest of the cast, but other anime as well.

Its like what Matt Groening said about character designs being unique if you can recognize their silouttes. ALOT of anime characters look alike, and a few even look like they were ripped off. With characters like Robin and Goku, the hair is first to come to mind and really distinguishes them.

Granted, with someyou got to wonder when they'll run out of ideas. I like HACK//Sign's style, but they're illogical disigns are only saved by the fact its a game. Armor that covers only parts of the body aside, BT having sleeves that don't attaach to her outfit boggles me :p

Thanks Rabi! At least a girl agrees with me. I made this poll as a lark, and to the people that don't care... why did you even respond to say "I don't care." :rolleyes:
Haha, I love it. We can make a 2 page thread about pigtails.

Personally I find pigtails very sexy and to see them so un-sexy on anyone, even an animated character... well think of your favorite food, and then think of how you'd feel if it was ruined by an incompetent chef. It's like that for me.

I really wasn't liking the look myself from the previews.. but as the first episode went on I started liking the hair.. It seems to fit her personality well.

But really it didn't matter.. even if I still didn't like the hair, I'd still watch the show if it's good, and it is. :anime:

Having seen episode 2, I definitely like her better with her hair down. It's really sad that she doesn't wear it that way normally, well it's not a deal breaker.

Rikou

02-18-2004, 03:16 AM

My GOD.

I completely revise my earlier statement. LEAVE THE PIGTAILS IN!

She looks like a drowned pixie rat with her hair down.

EvilG

02-18-2004, 06:03 AM

I voted option 2, but honestly I don't know if I are or not. I guess if an anime has bad character designs it makes a difference, so it may be important. But yeah. it's still just hair.

VinceA

02-18-2004, 08:18 AM

According to my wife they're not pigtails, they're hair wraps. Not that it matters much but I like the style on Robin but if my daughter tries it I'll kill her :)

From the talkback thread, I would have guessed that the results of this poll would be quite different. But I suppose all the people who hated Robin's hair posted same in that thread, while most others who liked it didn't.

cowboyardee

02-18-2004, 12:02 PM

While my first instinctive reaction was, "what the hell is that on her head?", it really doesn't matter. The fact that she looks a little spazzed only heightens the fact that she is not like the rest of the hunters, she is only a young girl, and hey, the story is called "Witch Hunter ROBIN" so they can design her hair any darn way they want. I wonder if Sesshomaru will decide to do the same with his hair. The fangirls will be crushed. heh heh. Somebody get me the drawing board; I have inspiration for something for the "Fluffy" parody site now.

I don't really see the problem with it but I tend to like weird hair. Go here (http://www.pick.ucam.org/~tjm35/robimanga/) in case you missed it in the talkback they make fun of her hair a couple times of course it helps if you know a little about Azumanga Daioh. I haven't gotten to the point where they do Gundam comparisons yet, only Osaka's replacements. (Wow do I ever love Osaka, she's so funny...)

cowboyardee

02-18-2004, 07:25 PM

Refresh my memory here. Did anyone make a big deal out of Cowboy Bebop Spike's poufy hair? Or Jet's lack thereof?

Or maybe it's just because Robin looks like she has a pair of Banana bike handlebars with attached streamers on the side of her head. I dunno.

Disco Pete

02-19-2004, 05:22 PM

I like her hair. It's distinctive. And Lord knows we've seen more unrealistic hair in anime before. At least the color isn't purple or blue. :) And with some wires, I could see that 'do in real life! I'm sure it'd be easier for a girl cosplayer to pull off Robin's 'do than a guy to pull off Goku's or Vash's.

And there's the accessorizing possibilities! Like, at Christmas time she can hang orniments from them for a very festive look! :D

acvtualy it's a common misconseption that the number 666 is the sign of the devil, 666 was translated to be Nero whow as an emperior, but actualy there was an error and the number was ment to be 616 which translated to another emperior's name...

The number itself is benign... Although I understand how Sistah feels, I feel the same way about 13 :D
