Is this series any good? From what I can tell doesn't look like anything other then T & A the fan service series.

@LobsterMagnet: If you can't look past the fanservice then you obviously won't like it, but behind all that there is also an interesting plot. There's mystery, suspense, and good character development, and decent action. It's probably not going to win any awards but once it's all done sit down and watch the first half or something. The first 10 or so eps were a lot of monster of the week types, but it has been getting better and better since then as the state of the world and motivations for many of the characters have been fleshed out.
With episode 18 I'm thinking Maria might be planning to lead a Neogene revolution, if not just against Father and the NSWF but possibly against everyone. I didn't see the situation with Takayama coming, I had hoped he'd out the Bio guy for what he did and make him take the blame somehow, but this way is much more realistic. We shouldn't have to wait long for the crazy guy to do something stupid and piss Masane off enough to warrant a quick death.

Wow great episode. Maria having all blue hair instead of 3 colours. More grown up aswell. Death of Father and sex! Great episode.
Oh and not to forget level 2 Masamune-chan
It's not blue hair really, she had a streak of blue hair before. What makes it notable is it was Reina's hair color.
Thank god Father is dead. Maria couldn't have put it better, "How unsightly." As equally as I hated her before, now I like her.
Am I the only one who thinks it's strange the Witchblade should have any fractures on it? It's the real thing, passed down for centuries. Not the cheap imitations like the Cloneblade and Ultimateblade.
Yeah that threw me for a loop as well, If there had to be some effect it should have taken an extra toll on Masane instead of on the blade itself.
Also, having seen her fight for the first time in the uncensored Witchblade suit it did seem somewhat odd that she was getting shot at point blank range for several seconds before she decided she might be in trouble. I guess even if there was nothing visible between her skin and the bullets she was still being protected somehow.
I'm liking that Maria has matured, but it's somewhat strange how fast it feels like it happened. But that just might be because it's all been coming out so close together. Father really went out like a punk though, eating glass as well as his own 'genes' that was just nasty.
Yeah I am not even gonna think about what that white stuff really was. >__<
Ice cream >_>

Witchblade - 21
This show has gotten much more serious in the last few eps, this last one made my heart flutter a bit. I can't wait to see how it turns out, hopefully there's some sort of tragic end in store, but it would have to be done just right.
Witchblade 22
Witchblade 23
Witchblade24 END
Finished watching and very good series overall. I really liked the ending.
"Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender
I liked how they used back XTC for 24, and yeah it's been a pretty good series. My love for Rihoko is strong, and having a daughter like that is definetely an aspiration. The ending was good, but I really really wanted Masamune to have a good ending. What a heart wrencher, but it was presented nicely.
Somehow the torrents wont download. It's strange. I got the torrenst but they just arent downloading.
Good show, even if it did take a year to get it all subbed (my Witchblade 01 was created 5-25-06).
I thought the show was 26 eps, and I think two more eps would have been nice, as Asagi's charachter and role wasn't really given a chance to grow much. I think the reason she was there was to hint that Maria had no idea what she wanted power for, and that she wasn't really as mature as she seemed at first. i would have liked to see that fleshed out a little more. But all in all I really enjoyed this one, good ending, great charachters and a pretty decent story.
I wonder if there will be many more american comics adapted to animes, since unlike some of our movie producers the Japanese can actually come up with interesting and entertaining stories from external source material.

Haha... Bakakozou and Conclave still chugging away huh getting those insanely fast releases out.
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!
