Yeaih, I know she was smiling and having a good time, but I can't imagine why sh'ed let the girl beat on her...unless the girls adrenaline help progress whatever Masane did to her. Mabye the sub will try to make Masane her dome later. I don't know what it is, but that chick just screamed D/s bottom to me.
That's a psychologically interesting, and probably purely fictitious, question. It reminded me quite heavily of the One Piece scene where Luffy and Zoro let the lower pirates beat them at that one bar. However, if it indeed was so that Masamune knew exactly what was happening to the girl, then I suppose she decided to suffer a little herself to let the girl (and those around her) suffer much more later.Originally Posted by Yukimura
So far it always looks like Masamune loses complete control when the Witchblade takes her. Deep down somewhere, she likes it, even if outwardly she hates her work and doesn't really understand. Maybe she really is an idiot after all. I didn't look like she was letting herself get hurt at all. It looked more like she didn't care. I think she really doesn't have a good handle on the Witchblade like the two were saying in eps 4. She lacks experience. But, the sentient weapon clearly knew what it was doing when it picked her.
I think Masamune's Witchblade personality just really enjoys the fight. It's not about winning, losing, or giving the appearance of one or the other. It's pure bloodlust.
Also, the ladies are finally seeing where their Cloneblades measure up to the real thing. Maybe they look stronger, and Amaha sure took a severe beating, but if you look at it, she was fully healed in a single night with only minimal aid. What's more, Masamune barely grazed the other girl, Shiori, and that minimal contact with the real thing somehow either infected or corrupted her Cloneblade, driving her insane. So maybe they'll see that if Masamune's Witchblade personality gets a little less into it, and starts really going at it, possibly even thinking during battle, that they'd never stand a chance.
Gotta love the near lesbian scene O.o;
If anyone still cares ep7 was just released.

HELL YEAH! I CARE!
Wow, I forgot all about this anime. I think after episode 3 or 4 I lost track of it and just deleted like 2 weeks ago. But I might check it out again between other anime releases.

A decent episode, although it seemed to me like Masamune fought a lot lousier than before. Or perhaps the clone blade girl was just overpowerful just before burning out. That would be a likely explanation, in the end.
I'm having hard time seeing the bigger plot of this series, though. There's some distinct lack of purpose pestering all the characters. Although it could just be that the show is suffering from severe lack of momentum due to the somewhat lenghty intervals between the releases. It's hard to catch the spirit when you have already forgotten what happened in the previous episode... But nevertheless, I can't see a bigger plot especially after this episode.
Anyone else thinking that Riko is really Reina's child? I mean, same eyes, same hair color and the fact that Reina was carrying an infant at ground zero...
At any rate, it was a pretty good episode although the fight was somewhat anti-climatic. I would have liked to see Masamune kick some more ass but as she was not fully recovered I guess it couldn't be helped.
/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
Episode 8 out.
There's little doubt that this or something close to it is true after eps 8. Seeing them side by side, there's no doubt in my mind that Riko is either Reina's child or her clone. What is left to be told is how Masane got ahold of her and also had the appropriate papers for her. Was she a surrogate mother if Riko is a Reina clone, or did she steal her? As far as we know, she may even have worked for the NWFS on a higher level.
I guess it's all locked in her lost memories.
(by the way, this is the slowest joint project ever. In the end, I can't really complain because the quality is pretty good, but 30 days is a long wait. I had to skim the previous eps just to remember what happened.)
Masamune is back, once again, right when you least expected her:
Episode 9 - Bakakozou-Conclave
The time between releases is so stretched that almost the only thing I remember about this show is the story of Masamune's name... Well, I suppose that will get me a long way towards the important parts, anyway...
Episode 10 - Bakakozou-Conclave
I think is a pretty decent series. I enjoy watching it, but the wait is ridiculous. Dling.
Woot, enough T&A to shake several sticks at, though I'm not sure what else was going on since I was so distracted.
Man, I'd love to have a baby sister like Masamune's daughter. Too cute, helpful, and not an annoying kid.
Episode 11 is out
[Bakakozou_-_Conclave]WitchBlade_-_11[H264][34707863].mkv
Hopefully some more answers, especially to the questions they introduced at the end of 10. We'll be getting dvd releases from now on as well.
EDIT: Well, the tri-colored hair girl is...annoying. We can assume she'll fight Masa-mune towards the end and with any hope, she'll die horribly. Some cute moments with Riko-hime and the Director, and Masane still can't fight worth a damn. See you all (the few who still watch this) next month or so.

I've given up trying to keep up with this series. I'm just going to wait till it's all out to watch any more.
The extreme slowness is an annoting detractor, as is the fact that the main charachter still sucks so much after nearly half the show is over. However episode 13 is coming up so something will most likely change, perhaps Masane learning to not suck. However that last attack Masane pulled, while freaky as hell was pretty ingenious. Fortunately I've found that the side charachters are more than interesting enough to keep the show entertaining.
With such delays between episode releases, the pretty much only thing I remember of this show is why Masane is called Masamune. Well, that's pretty much enough to get the plot coherent enough in my mind to be able to keep following it...I've given up trying to keep up with this series. I'm just going to wait till it's all out to watch any more
And yeah, the tri-colour girl would desperately need somebody to kick her ass really bad. But true to the Japanese traditions, since she's apparently somehow related to the boss, nobody really even dares to approach her with a berating expression.
Good thing Riko-hime's abduction failed in the beginning. She could have ended up in that facility otherwise.
