Episode 12 - Bakakozou-Conclave
Ugh, I forgot which episode was the last one I saw.
Edit: Watching 12, but I can't remember what happened in the last episode cept the introduction of the prodigy girl with crazy colored hair and an obsessively violent demeanor during practice.

Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

Damn, I'd forgotten that Masane got owned last episode, but I now totally hate that stupid tri-color hair girl. When she was just mindlessly beating up the other girls she was kind of cool but now that we know she's just another 'I'm the chosen one' spoiled brat it's no fun.
On a positive note, from the OP (check out time 1:06 - 1:13 ) it looks like they've started using the uncensored DVD version where Masane's transformed state is much less...restrictive...Hopefully this also means we'll get 2-3 more releases in the next few weeks.
Just curious, but, is anyone else having problems playing episode 12?
The things that come to mind are that there's no video display, and the total time of the episode states that it is over an hour long.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it to work with WMP Classic.

WOW! Someone who actually watches the OP and notices stuff like that. It's been so long between releases I didn't even notice that the quality went up. The DVD rip looks MUCH better than previous releases. Conclave doesn't even mention that they released this.Originally Posted by Yukimura
Actually, Bakakozou mentioned it around the 10th or 11th release.WOW! Someone who actually watches the OP and notices stuff like that. It's been so long between releases I didn't even notice that the quality went up. The DVD rip looks MUCH better than previous releases. Conclave doesn't even mention that they released this.
But, no matter, guess the only distinct difference is the transformed states.

I see nothing about it on either group's website, unless you're talking about their forums. The switch wasn't until this 12th episode.
Witchblade - 13 - [Makoto]
A new group finally jumped in, the only report I have on the quality of this is a so-so, but it's yours if you want it. They are using DVD footage though, so the sexy factor on the transformations is higher then the previous episodes.
EDIT: I seem to suck at getting numbers right, anyway While it's not unheard of it was still somewhat surprising that Masane would not only give up Riko but say all that shit to her to make her feel like she (Riko) was holding Masane back and interfering in her life. No matter how mature she may be she's still 6 years old, emotional trauma anyone? And then who are you giving her up to? An icy bitch with nothing but ideas and theories about being a mother, no actual love, and certainly no emotional bonds with Riko. I hope Riko figures this out fast and runs away.

You typed 12 by accident, Yuki. It should be 13.
And here's 14:
Episode 14 - Makoto
Witchblade - 15 - [Makoto]
Witchblade - 16 - [Makoto]
This new "group" just keeps pumping them out, I'm thinking a fan or two learned how to use SSA and virtualdub just enough to turn a script into a fansub.
EDIT: Okay the new OP....it just isn't working for me. Give me back my XTC!

Maybe it's just me, but I'm fine with speedsubs on top of dvd rips over getting an episode every 3 months.
Especially when the series is starting to get really interesting. Masamune will hopefully be having her first fight with annoying two-tone girl. Haven't watched 15 and 16 yet, but I really like the growing relationship between Rihoko and Reina. Reina kept trying to take it objectively and use her daughter as a experiment on herself, but Riko just kept reeling her in. Unfortunately, Reina seems to have a time limit now.
Seeing Masamune so torn up about Riko was pretty sad though.
At the beginning of episode 15, did Masamune and teh Director do the nasty? Seems like they did.
I don't think I would call it the "nasty" if it were with Masamune XD
Well, I didn't wanna say "have sex" or "fuck" =/
Is this worth picking back up? It appears that someone is finally doing a decent sub of this series, but I don't remember the last few episodes of Witchblade, for obvious reasons. So is this group consistent in their updates and hows the story going?
Well, it's pretty much a speedsub on top of dvd rips, so the video quality is good, and the translations are more than watchable. I haven't seen any particularly noticeable errors. The story...it's good, but it seems like they are going a lot faster than they have to. I loved the parts with Reina seeing if she could be a mother. Those are well worth watching. I am kind of wondering what they are going to do for the remainder of the series. It feels like that could wrap it up in 2-3 episodes.
For instance, eps 16 was a shameless filler beach episode, but with one very interesting piece of information during a meeting Masamune had at the office.
The second OP and ED are terrible though. I wish the tw- er, three-toned hair girl, Maria would die right now. She's so annoying. (sadly, I like her seiyuu's work, but hate the character here) The typical huge egocentric, overpowered little bitch.
I certainly wouldn't pick it back up if you had to wait 3 months between episodes like with Conclave, but at this rapid pace, it's worth watching again.
EDIT: btw, episode 17 is also out.
[Makoto] Witchblade 17.mkv
Comment on the torrent mentions there will not be a batch torrent later, so get them while they are still active.
Witchblade - 18 - [Makoto[
It just flows like a river it does.
*spoilers in case you're not caught up*
Amazingly, I can't find myself hating Maria anymore. She definitely matured after she killed Reina (such a sad scene too, finally realizing she felt good protecting her daughter). More importantly, now that Maria apparently understands Father's goal, she's seemed to be as disgusted with him as the audience should be. With any luck, she'll be the one killing him.
One thing I don't understand is why they think the real Witchblade would kill Masamune the same way the Cloneblades do. She stabbed that one sister only once to make her lose it and turn into dust. Masane has been stabbed, slashed, or cut countless times by the other Sisters and she's been fine so far.
Rihoko is probably in more danger now that the bitch doctor knows she's the true inheritor of the Witchblade. She also knows that Riko is Reina's daughter and that Masane has custody of her again.
*end spoilers*
