About El Cazador de la Bruja
El Cazador de la Bruja follows Nadie, a hardened bounty hunter hired to capture Ellis, a soft-spoken young woman with no memory and suspected in a scientist's murder. After catching her, Nadie makes an unexpected choice: instead of handing Ellis over, she stays and tries to piece together Ellis's past. The pair set off across a sun-bleached, contemporary-western landscape, chased by bounty hunters, agents, and mysteries connected to Ellis's identity. As the case around Ellis unravels, the show focuses on their evolving relationship, moments of violence and quiet, and the gradual uncovering of who Ellis was before she lost her memory. The series keeps its major twists private until later episodes.
Released in 2007, the series was directed by Koichi Mashimo and created by Kenichi Kanemaki. Voice leads include Shizuka Itoh as Nadie and Ai Shimizu as Ellis.
Reaction to El Cazador de la Bruja has been mixed, reflected in a modest 5.9/10 average from 18 votes. Reviewers and fans often praise the chemistry between the two leads and the show's moody, western-tinged atmosphere, while criticism targets episodic pacing and loose plotting. Central themes include identity, trust, memory, and moral ambiguity amid lawless settings. It relies on character moments over spectacle.
While not a mainstream hit, the series has a steady fanbase among anime viewers who appreciate female-led action and a road-story format with western motifs. Key scenes and the pairing of an experienced hunter with a fragile, secretive companion have kept the show alive in online discussions and fan art, especially within niche communities that favor mood-driven series.
El Cazador de la Bruja did not collect major industry awards, yet its voice performances and atmospheric score are frequently praised by fans. It remains notable as part of its creators' output, often recommended to viewers who like character-driven mysteries that gradually reveal hidden connections.
