Product Description
Studio: Funimation Prod Inc Release Date: 11/03/2009 Run time: 600 minutes

The fan-service adventure Witchblade (2006) is another trans-Pacific hybrid: a Japanese TV series based on an American comic. Masane Amaha and her obnoxiously precocious daughter Rihoko were discovered amid the ruins after an earthquake devastated 22nd century Japan. During the disaster, she somehow acquired the sentient ultimate weapon, the Witchblade. When Masane comes near an X-Con, a prototype cyborg made by Douji Industries from human cadavers, the Witchblade causes her to morph into a fighting fiend--in an outfit Pamela Anderson might wear in a sequel to The Dark Knight. The Witchblade supposedly endows the wielder with "insatiable lust and unthinkable power," but Masane gets her exposed derrière kicked by women using Cloneblades, imitation Witchblades the Douji Group also created. Maria, the most powerful Cloneblader, emerges as a potential rival to Masane. When she decides to seize control of Douji Industries, the audience is left to wonder how and why she went from an undisciplined, infantile killer to a disciplined, mature killer. The inevitable duel between Masane and Maria atop Tokyo Tower suggests High Noon with implants. Masane triumphs over Maria and the power of the Witchblade in a finale that's simultaneously gory and mawkish. Although the convoluted plot stumbles along like Masane after a binge, Witchblade will delight adolescent boys who want to watch fights between overendowed, under-dressed babes. In an accompanying interview, character designer/executive animation director Makoto Uno says, "We added a devilish element to the physical beauty of women and animated them with particular attention to the breasts and butt." No kidding. (Rated TV MA, suitable for ages 16 and older: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5 out of 5 stars Great anime   September 7, 2010

To be honest I thought this anime was going to be nothing but fanservice, of course that would not of stop me from liking it. I was pleasantly surprised that the story was pretty good and had quite a lot of humor. The series was quite enjoyable.

I have been trying to catch this entire series for years on showtime, but was never able to. THis blu-ray did not only that but had several extras that I enjoyed. There is some fan service in the series and some action, but it is mostly about the characters.


4 out of 5 stars Solid Anime Uncensored as Well   August 15, 2010
A. Snow (Houston, Tx.)
Its a nice adaptation of anime fused with Top Cows Witchblade comic. The storyline and characters have nothing in common with the comic but is still a really good story. Seeing this anime in Bluray makes a startling difference in quality and makes re watching it a true joy every time.


4 out of 5 stars Big Boobed Babes with Blades   July 14, 2010

What is it with Anime? You'll never find Japanese women dressed like this (much less any other nationality!) - and every chick in this Anime would give a Victoria's Secret model an inferiority complex. To quote the old joke, their breasts enter the room five minutes before the rest of them. Not to wax prosaic on the subject, but it more boob driven than character driven. Just look at the case cover!

The animation is great, her physical reaction to death and violence is unique, and the resolution is fantastic. Top notch audio as well.

You get three BluRay discs - each episode is around 18 minutes long. A definite must-buy for Anime fans, it's not nearly as sexist (or sexy) as many other titles. For the most part it really is character and plot driven. The alter ego Witchblade personality only appears for a few minutes per episode.
