Review: Be witched Intrigued (to put it lightly) by GONZO's Witchblade character designs, the actual finished anime insn't at all what I expected. What I expected was a somewhat religious take on the US comic/TV property about a female cop who becomes the Witchblade (Yancy Butler flashbacks be damed!), but what I got was a thoroughly Japanese interpretation, or so it would seem. Masane Amaha is a mother on the run, found at the epicenter of a devastating earthquake that changed the face of Japan; she's worn out her welcome at the local homeless shelter and decided to go it on her own, which doesn't sit well with the totalitarian Child Welfare Agency, concerned for the safety of her young daughter, who also happens to wear the pants in the family. The strong-willed and wise beyond her years little girl soon finds herself in protective custody, and her mother behind bars. The only thing that can save them is the Witchblade, which chose her as its host on that fateful day in the eye of the storm. The struggle at the center of Witchblade is a very human one between mother and daughter,
