witchblade
The Witchblade anime series was created in 2006 as a joint project between Top Cow and Gonzo. Running for a total of twenty-four episodes, the anime uses concepts from the original comic serial to create an innovative tale focused on an all-new cast. The anime series has since been integrated into the overall Witchblade canon. The title
is licensed for English language DVD distribution by FUNimation.
Amaha Masane is a single mother who brings her young daughter (Rihoko) to Tokyo in order to begin a new life six years after the city was ruined by a massive earthquake. What Masane doesn't count on is becoming the latest in a long line of women to bear the Witchblade, an incredibly powerful sentient weapon. But wherever there is power, people strive to possess it. Soon Masane is standing between two different organisations, each intent on using her newfound abilities to achieve their own ends...
Despite being promoted as a festival of T&A, the Witchblade anime series is more of a human drama than anything else. It focuses on familial love, shifts of power and the progression of the human species. Of course there are plenty of titties too, just to keep things interesting, but fanservice is certainly not the extent of its depth. Try renting or buying it sometime, you might be pleasantly surprised by the story that unfolds.
