Just finished the last episode (#24) and still blowing my nose. I don't like tragic endinds but sometimes get stuck watching them cuz I don't do my homework and don't know its tragic until its too late. So if you want a love love ending this is not for you.

I read this was ecchi. I don't know what that means exactly but I am supposing it refers to the many big breasted woman in this anime. lol

I read the manga was very graphic and at one point it looked like the witchblade was coming out of her ******. Just warning those that may be interested or maybe interest because of it. I haven't read it and I don't plan too. I've cried to much over it as is.

There is a devastating earthquake in Japan causing many people to loose pretty much everything. Masane Amaha is found with a baby and maternity papers. She's lost her memory and remembers nothing of her past or the child she holds.

After 6 years of living in a home for mothers she has to leave to find work and start anew.
The child welfare people find her and try to take her child Rihoko away because she has no job and no place to live. Masane fights to get Rico back and is thrown into jail.

Tozawa is a freelance photographer trying to get shots of murders that are bizarre. He's trying to get that one big scoop and starts snooping around. Rico runs away from the child welfare people and hence the two meet. She blackmails Tozawa to take her to see her mama in jail.

Masane is in jail when a big racket occurs. This human/machine is attracted to power and since she wears the witchblade bracelet (she knows nothing about it at this time) is attracted to her. It kills the police officers and comes for her. She turns into the witchblade wielder and destroys the machine/human.

She ends up getting hired to destroy these machine/human by the company that created them. Her boss is named Takayama.

While this is going on another organization that uses the child welfare group as a front is creating there own witchblade welders called neogenes.

There is a love interest between Masune and both Takayama and Tozawa. She even sleeps with one of them!!! You go girl!!!!!! LOL

All in all this was a pretty good anime.
I had tried to watch it once before but couldn't make it past the first couple episodes. This time I made it and glad I did.

I give it 8 stars out of ten.
A lot of heartwarming mother/daughter stuff.

The only anime that comes to mind when I think about this one is Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora and I don't even know why.
