Decently Inspired

by zeidrich

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

There are some similarities to Trigun. The rival who has the same abilities, appearance, etc with opinions on capital punishment setting the two apart from each other.

Art work is pretty good quality. Clear transitions between sequences, strong outlines, good character/monster designs. The older female character designs are especially well designed typical of manhwa.

Only on chapter 15. I'll update when I get to the most recent release. Story is interesting so far. I hope it doesn't fall into every shounen trope. About the inspiration/imitation plagiarism in the story, seems to be heavily inspired by D. Grayman and Naruto.

I definitely like this one

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I would give 10 only in around 4% of cases and this manhwa is one of them. It may be not original in some ways, but common it is impossible to have something which doesn't look like anything else, it is in human nature to find similarities. But what I like about this manhwa is that it is logical in some ways. If people or even organization can get an ally they will, no matter who that is, like witch hunters having witches in their ranks if those witches are not evil. If protagonist has someone who he values a lot, then he will even switch sides if it means that he can protect loved ones... and there are a lot of unexpected developments too, which makes it an interesting read all the time.

Roundabout.

Rating: 7.2 / 10.0

Problems with this series:

The history drags on;
The chapters were downsized from 60 pages to 13 (?!); *
One of the "extra" characters got "author's pet" status for more than 40 (!!!) chapters;
The objectives / focus of all the characters seem to go back and forth all the time;
Style over content (there is good content, but it is "trope heavy" and volatile);
Everyone is "snarky" (well, thats a trope on Korean fiction, so... yeah);
You will get tired of the same contrived smiles over and over again, even if they are well drawn.

EDIT:

One kind soul explained to me that the chapter size changed because the translation group went from volume scans to magazine scans; seems that some chapter cliff-hangers don't actually exist on the "final product", too.

Even with a load of bad points, some concepts are pretty darn interesting (even if borrowed from other places) and well worth a look, for they end up being well developed. The main character is extremely likeable too, even if the same can't be said about his sideckick and even if he ends up getting less screen time than some uninteresting or even forcefully mysterious characters from the cast.

tl;dr - This series is flawed, but extremely entertaining.

Alright so this was being printed in english as Witch Hunter and I bought each as they were published but then it suddenly stopped. Apparently they will begin a completely new printing under the name Witch Buster just curious if anyone knows the reason for the change. This series is absolutely amazing with all the right intense and hilarious moments to always keep you coming back. This reprinting is totally setting back my collection.

Amazing a must read manhwa

by SSJR2

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

if you dont know or dont care manhwa is Korean manga and i gotta say there are many manhwa that rival and might be better that most manga and this is one of them. this manhwa has amazing art that still improves overtime, the story is really interesting and will keep you hooked and out of every thing the best things are the characters design and the fights. a lot of the main characters have a really unqiue design with a really funny personality trait, this manga really has to be one of the top (to me) in Korean manhwas. plus if you are interested in reading this please just read the first few chapters and dont listen to most of these comments, some of them can find an issue with anything (although im not saying any manga/manhwa is perfect) but this one deserves a chance as a manhwa of its own so people need to stop comparing it to other stuff

Good For Eye Candy

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

As the title says this has some decent art with some rather voluptuous drawn women. That's about it.

The plot well it's just so so. I mean it's understandable that the baddies are powerful i.e the bad witches. Although they are so ridiculously overpowered that the only way I see the good guys winning is how they've been winning so far. They let them win. Sure you get a low rung bug baddie that will get beaten but it takes almost the entire cast to beat that one bug of a bad guy. Yeah, yeah it's shounen and we can expect some out of left field insane power-ups, but still as it is now it's not clicking.

Also have to agree with the reviewer below. The author is extremely slow when telling his story. We had to painfully sit through how many chapters of the Yue clan charade? I think the author is buddies with The Breaker's author because he has the same story telling drag problem.

One of the best manga I've read. Awesome plot, nice art, good character building ^^. And I don't care about the plagarism thing. It's still a good -to-read manga.
It deserves a 10 😀

Another great manga i have found and read. I think it's totally awesome except for one thing: why do korean artists always have to create female characters with such huge breasts, that's really annoying

It isn't original, but that isn't a bad thing.

by b.dasani

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

What's original these days, anyway? Everything's been done, and Witch Hunter is no exception - it's unoriginal material at its best, though.

I genuinely enjoyed Witch Hunter. It has its laugh-out-loud moments, and I think the writing is excellent. It's reminiscent of the writing of Joss Whedon with its combination of drama, humor, and strong characters.

In fact, the characters might be the best thing about this series. Despite the fact that they're usually introduced humorously, the characters are always well-established and deal with drama with realistic gravity. We discover very quickly that they certainly aren't paragons of heroism. Many of them are selfish, but you don't dislike them for it. The characters aren't clear about their feelings or each other's; they lose their temper with each other and themselves - despite their strength, they become frustrated with their weakness in the face of crisis. I very much like these kind of developments. The plot itself may waver sometimes, but for the most part, it's solid thanks to the characters.

WH's greatest strength may be its greatest weakness, though. I personally don't see why you wouldn't like to see minor characters fleshed out. I certainly enjoyed the three brothers' story. But I guess that's the problem with WH - when audiences are motivated to pick up a series solely for its characters, audiences usually pick ONE character. And so when the plot moves away from that one character, you lose interest in the series until Tasha, I mean, that character comes back.
