1998
1 Season

Weiss Kreuz, or Knight Hunters, is a popular anime show that originally aired in the late '90s. It follows the story of four young men, who are members of a secret organization known as Weiss. Each member of the team possesses unique skills which they use to hunt down and eliminate people who have committed heinous crimes that have gone unpunished by the law.

The main character of the show is Omi Tsukiyono, a timid high school student who is secretly one of the top agents of Weiss. He is joined by three other members of the team - Aya Fujimiya, Ken Hidaka, and Youji Kudou. Aya is a reserved and brooding florist, while Ken is a former gang member turned high school student. Youji is the resident playboy of the team, often getting himself into trouble with his womanizing ways.

The show is known for its action-packed scenes, as the members of Weiss take on dangerous missions that often put their lives at risk. Along the way, they encounter a cast of complex characters, both allies and enemies, who add to the intrigue of the story. Notable antagonists include Schuldig, a psychic assassin with a twisted sense of humor, and Crawford, a calculating strategist who is always one step ahead of the game.

Aside from their work with Weiss, the members of the team also struggle with personal demons and traumas from their past. Omi deals with the guilt of having been unable to save his family from a fire, while Aya seeks vengeance against those who killed his sister. Ken struggles to reconcile his past as a gang member with his current life as a high school student, and Youji deals with the pain of a failed relationship.

The show also touches on themes of morality and justice, as the members of Weiss grapple with the idea of taking justice into their own hands. In many cases, the people they are tasked with eliminating have committed crimes but have never been caught by the legal system. Weiss operates in a gray area between right and wrong, and the show explores the consequences of their actions.

In addition to its engaging plot and complex characters, Weiss Kreuz is also famous for its voice cast. Some of the most popular voice actors in the industry lend their talents to the show, including Shinichiro Miki, Tomokazu Seki, and Hikaru Midorikawa. The show's soundtrack is also noteworthy, with a mix of J-pop and rock songs that capture the mood of the series perfectly.

Overall, Weiss Kreuz is a classic anime that has remained popular with fans for over two decades. Its unique blend of action, drama, and morality make it a must-watch for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and entertaining series.
