Description:
In the near future, there are two syndicates seeking for the strongest arm. They are Doji Heavy Industry developing the strongest weapon, and NSWF creating superior humans by gene manipulations.
What they want is “Witch Blade” that only selected women can wield, and the power to control it completely.
Six years after the earthquake, Amaha Masane and her daughter Naoko are living in Tokyo. They ran away from the asylum to live them alone. But what are waiting for them are the dark powers surrounding “Witch Blade” and cruel fates…

Does this have anythingto do with the canned USA/TNT/insert American cable network here show by the samename? As in are there similar charachters or a similar plot or anything?

[Ryllharu]

They are both based off the same comic book by TopCow. Witchblade overview

The show on TNT was a direct interpretation of the original series. I know that it didn't follow the series all that closely, and a lot of fans complained about it. Personally I enjoyed it. The series suffered from the obvious limitations that live-action creates with a story like this.

The animated series is just another interpretation of the mythos of the series. If there is an actual tie-in, I don't know about it. New characters. I imagine that only the backstory of the Witchblade is shared with all three. If anything, the way the Witchblade is used here is closer to the original content, even if the characters have changed. That would be the advantage to animation.

As for the series itself, I'm really enjoying it so far. I got attached to it pretty quickly, its hard not to like Amaha and Rihoko. The scene where the Child Welfare organization (NSWF) steal Rihoko from Amaha. Very moving and pretty convincing.

Wow, this anime has some great animation, and the story is very compeling. Its has a nice twist from the US TV show. Im really looking forward to the rest of this series.

Great F*ckin show!

I just finished it and... really liked it. everything that felt disconnected before (due to the 1 release a month thing) made so much more sense. good characters, nice action and good drama too...

I recommend this!
