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…

This should work

It worked for me, but thank you.

[Yukimura]

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.

This is nothing like the comic that I read for awhile, but in the comic it was explained that there wear several woman all through time who had wielded the witch blade. That being said I like the feel from the series the idea of a mother who wants to protect her child is easy to get behind and support. It’s also nice to see that there looks like there will be several villain types for instance the child protection service’s and the people who are tracking her for her witch blade powers. Also I like Masane as a character at first glance I mean how can you not dig a mom with a set of DD and some kick ass super powers “MILF!1!!!!”

[darkshadow]

Gonna watch it now, i hope its good, ( i liked the comics, but darkness was still better )

[NeoBear]

I seem to remember hearing something about them making an anime of this I wasn’t to excited cause it was around the same time I saw Lady Death…

But thank god its being animated by a real anime studio and not a bunch of 1 armed circus clowns. And Darkness was good to but if I remember right in that one if he had sex with a female he was dead. That’s not a fair deal to me man =D

[darkshadow]

lol yeah thats correct, he even didnt care anymore wether he lived or died because he couldnt bone anymore :P, but then he was informed that he could create his own perfect women, and he fought like mad :P.

and i think this anime is gonna be great, seeing how she actually fought something that had crazy powers, in the comic sara pez. never fought anything more powerfull then her ( until the darkness witchblade crossover )

[Munsu]

The little kid is annoying, hope she dies soon. I'm also not diggin the whole "transform into a machine" thing. Aside from that, I'll look forward to the next couple of episodes. If you guys like this, you might want to check out the anime The Devil Lady or Devilman Lady.

[darkshadow]

well the whole "transformation" is the basis for witchblade and the darkness

[Munsu]

I don't care about the transformation. The problem was what they were transforming into.

[NeoBear]

Before I say anything let me make it clear I am not complaining about release speed as far as this show goes. I noticed however that raw ep 4 is out and we still haven’t got a subbed ep 2 does anybody know if its been put on hold or if conclave has a web site wear I can gain some info. Once again im not complaining but im interested in this show and just wondering what happened.

[Hakeem_21]

Ep 2 isnt out yet?

[NeoBear]

ep 4 is out last time i checked (the raw anyway) im not sure im pretty bumed about it =/

[darkshadow]

[NeoBear]
