Witch Hunter Robin – Shell (+lyrics +translation)

anime : Witch Hunter Robin
song: Shell

English Translation
It’s like I’ll disappear as soon as I close my eyes
I feel like I’ve turned into someone that even I don’t recognize
Sadly, I’ve become so small
I want to be rescued, but instead of sighing
I vomited up my loneliness, and just lay there, measuring it all up
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that,
I became lost
In a world of thin darkness. [1]
For the sake of those whom I should trust
I chose to come here, a cage into which I’ve locked myself, and now
there’s no escape.
Deep inside my parched throat
Lies the reason for this growing impermanence [2]
Scared of the approaching tomorrow
I cower and collapse
But it seeks me out and whispers to me
This voice of thin darkness. [1]
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that, I became lost
In a world of thin darkness.




Japanese anime and music was something else and hit the soul back then 😢
Just isnt the same these days…
Great stuff
Like listening to all the tracks from dot hack sign, wolf's rain, witch hunter robin, Ghost in the shell…simply blown away
The anime was alright but this OP was my top reason for watching it in the first place(hs, internet wasn't common in our town back then)
I hope there is never a live action remake of this anime.
If, heaven forbid, there is then Robin should be aged atleast 21.
I have the DVD set too. Also the soundtrack. I went to an Anime Convention in Vancouver, BC many years ago…There was someone dressed like Robin perfectly. I wish I had a photo of that. Good times.
なんか、聞きたくなる
I used to be a reclusive depressed teen playing Ragnarok Online late into the night and listening to Anime and Video game osts. Then life happened and I left that part of me behind. This pandemic brought me back to those days and it's good to know that part of me is still around…. Minus the depression.
I watched this so long ago and this series, the music, the characters have a special place in my heart.
I watched it again, there was no nostalgia goggles – it is a good as I remembered it to be.
I need to watch this whole series again in Dub. Voice acting in anime used to be awesome back then with Kari Wahlgren and Crispin Freeman as leads.
Really wish they could continue this anime, wonder what all the actors are doing now?
Did any pass away if anyone is willing to answer?
Can't find this on spotify 🙁
I love this anime :(. It's really disappointing that they don't release season two

Anime for Adults! Brilliant mix of Police Procedural, with witchcraft and religion thrown in, plus the by-now-expected Hidden Agenda. Perfectly done!
There was something amazing going on with Japanese music around this time period.
anyone from 2020 !?
当時ビデオに撮ってた!
もう一回頭から観たい!
Cuanta nostalgia 👼
amazing how amon is basically an anime version of me, not only visually but personality too
it was one of most perfect examples of an awesome story that was bad done in anime, but the opening was awesome anyway.
and it bring a lot of memories
