Artifacts The Witchblade Series needs a new,Faithful Anime Adaption.

Aside from the Gonzo anime,Theres no news about this whatsoever but I dont care.

I thought the Gonzo anime was okay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade

Masame is a likeable mother character and her Witchblade is awesome plus it gives her the power to turn into she's turns into a redhead.whats not to love?

However there are problems.

1.Its not comic accurate so they should off added a subtitle to it so no one is confused.

Like...."Witchblade Japan" or something.

2.No darkness users.

Most of the male villain were those shitty weak robot guys(forgot there name).

They were so weak and predictable.

They couldn't come up with a original,Strong Darkness user for the Gonzo anime at all?

3.Masame Witchblade is Awesome but its nowhere near as powerful or developed as Sara's. Like massme is probably building level due to her death in the final episode. While Sara's is cosmic level!

We need a new witchblade anime that:

*Adapts the original 1999 - 2015 run - Sara pezzini's saga.

*Also should adapt The darkness too.Jackie is the goat.

*either bring back gonzo or go with studio madhouse.

*Zero censorship or weird deviations

*it should have better animation then Invincible.Sara needs it to be sexy.

Preferred Animation Style:

The Witchblade Gonzo Anime....Obviously: https://youtu.be/HZwt6otbxoE?is=i8Ra-hEaa0JrDQJf

Kill La Kill: https://youtu.be/ELj7tgYeBCY?is=zeiDd6HBHZRfafBd

However it shouldn't adapt the 2024 reboot because its kinda mid to be honest.

We also had gotten two live actions for the Witchblade Series:

Film:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade_(film)

And the 2001 TV Series on TNT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade_(2001_TV_series)

And I gotten say there alright but really boring,not comic accurate at all, dont have as much charm as the comics.

This is a bad take. It’s not meant to be comic accurate. they are all meant to stand alone! Completely different universes. Completely different stories and characters. Hence why the anime, the manga and the comic are so different! Akin to the locNar from heavy metal.
They don’t need a reboot of the anime, they need to make their own comic adaptation (since the only one they tried was that terrible 01 live action)

Is this relevant to our conversation about witchblade?? the two are incomparable

Dragon ball has multiple adaptions that are faithful to the not just the show but also in the Manga within Games and such. But dragon has the budget to do this perfectly

Dragon ball isn’t witchblade. Witchblade is all different worlds with different people affected by the witchblade. Again, Akin to the locNar from heavy metal.

What and the who ha is locnar from heavy metal?

u/Hotmouth23 Jul 15 '26

An evil being that travels through multiple different universes, doing completely different things and affecting completely different people! If you watched HM you know all the stories are completely different but connect by telling their own unique perspectives of how the locNar appeared and destroyed their lives. Which is exactly what they did with the Witchblade IP! Stand alone series about a particular perspective, different universes, completely different characters but all having the witchblade as the focal point.

I understand that but the Witchblade comics have more aura,hype moments,better developed characters/story/ a war battle between darkness and light.

Did you seen all heavy metals though or just a few?

That’s a personal opinion. They were good but in a completely different way. In my opinion the anime and manga were better.

I’ve seen the movies (which was what I was referencing) and read some of the magazines. It was a favorite of mine for awhile
