The various plots and counterplots converge as the fan service fantasy Witchblade jiggles to its conclusion. The insidious Wadou refuses to heed Takayama's warnings and dispatches 3,800 Douji I-weapons to a buyer. Software malfunctions cause them to revolt and attack Tokyo, as they're drawn to the power of the Witchblade. At the same time, Maria and her two henchwomen use Clone Blades to transform into battling monsters in an effort to wrest the Witchblade from Masane. The inevitable duel between Masane and Maria takes place atop Tokyo Tower: It's High Noon with breast implants. Masane triumphs over Maria and the evil power of the Witchblade in a final episode that manages to be violent and mawkish simultaneously. Sexist, over-the-top and silly, Witchblade is clearly aimed at adolescent boys who want to watch over-endowed, underdressed babes kicking butt. Its dubious charms will be lost on more mature viewers. (Rated TV MA, suitable for ages 16 and older: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon |

Product Description |
|
Witchblade has what American comic fans have enjoyed for years, beautiful and buxom babes who can kick your butt and look sexy while doing it --- theotaku.com The emotional strain is nothing when compared to the physical strain of the Witchblade, and it looks like Masane is fast approaching the end. Rapidly deteriorating, the force of normal life continues as all plot and plan around her. Forces begin to gather by the thousands. The good news: Wado's been unseated and Takayama's taken charge. The bad news:This time the lives of everyone in Tokyo are at stake! Masane is not alone as her few allies are prepared to join the battle, but apocalypse hangs on the horizon. High atop Tokyo Tower, a solitary soldier takes her place in the cruel history of the Witchblade... Volume 6 cover art by Top Cow founder, Marc Sylvestri. |

A great end. |
This is a great series overall. The way battles are balanced out against the story is very good. There is PLENTY of fanservice if that is your thing, but it really comes earlier in the series as this disc closes the story of this Witchblade.
The changes Masane has expected with the Witchblade begin, and the last three episodes on the disc really tie together into one epic episode that views quite like a mini-movie. The story builds in the first three episodes focusing on the relationships Masane has developed, and then in the fourth episode "Light" all hell breaks loose as the I-weapons, Cloneblades, and Witchblade all engage in a final showdown in the middle of Tokyo. The end leaves plenty to the imagination, but watch beyond the credits because there is a bit more to be seen.
If you haven't purchased this series by volume, wait for the inevitable box set. If you've been watching, enjoy the last volume. |
