Synopsis
25-Years Old Masane Amaha with her "daughter" , Rihoko , moved to Tokyo to live there and start a new life . Apparently , Masane was one of the survivors of a catastrophe that occured in Tokyo 6 years ago ( the time span in anime) , which the spot was called the 'Null Point ' . She also lost all of her past memories , but she gained a new identity made from maternity passbook , which she was carrying at the time of the catastrophe , along with her newborn "daughter" , Rihoko . Later , it was revealed that Masane survived because of Witchblade , an ultimate weapon that existed since a long time ago , which chose it's own wielder . Those who wield Witchblade would carried an unavoidable fate of battling many enemies . The wielder of the Witchblade could transform into a battle form , equipped with long blades and armor . Apparently , Witchblade was one of the properties owned by a big weapon company called 'Dohji' , but it was lost in the catastrophe 6 years ago . Therefore , Masane was forced to work there as the company found out that she wielded the Witchblade . After went through many complications between her , Rihoko and NSWF ( an organization made to protect and accommodate children , especially the orphans ) , she decided to work in Dohji to earn money for living with Rihoko . The work was to eliminate X-Cons , failed product of Dohji , shaped like machine but able to transform into human , with killing abilities . After that , many battle enfolded between Masane and the X-Cons , also with the NSWF's Neogene , mutated females that have abilities similar to Witchblade and also fight against the conspiracy plotted inside the Dohji Corp itself and the NSWF . Story continued with many conflicts , until Masane awakened the true power of Witchblade and the unexpected truths were revealed...
Strength : Complex story & plot , unexpected flow of story that lead to unexpected ending . The depiction of life shown contained a lot of moral messages and the values of life (especially relations between parents , mother and child ). Neat artwork of background , mechas and characters (starting from the mid-part, though).
Weakness : Too many slice of life , that some people might get boring while watching the anime . Very short span of time for the battles , also with only monotone slashing . Overall , this anime that has action genre doesn't fullfill the criteria of action , because the actions are almost zero .
Flaws on artwork on the first part of the anime , it was so lame in the beginning .

Gonzo bukannya udah bangkrut yak...

GDH has until March 31 of next year to raise assets over liabilities
The Tokyo Stock Exchange notified investors on Monday that GDH, the parent holding company of the Gonzo anime studio and the GONZO Rosso Online game studio, has been put on a one-year grace period to improve its finances or face delisting. The grace period was retroactively dated back to April 1 (the beginning of the Japanese fiscal year) of this year and will end on March 31 of next year. According to the exchange, these steps are being taken since GDH has been determined to be insolvent, or having total financial liabilities that exceed its total financial assets, during the accounting period that ended in March of 2008. The steps went into effect in accordance with article 603, section 3 of the exchange's listing regulations (page 38).
Depending on the circumstances, a company and its subsidiaries can continue to operate even if its stocks have been delisted. Between now and 2009, Gonzo will be working on S.A, Strike Witches, Rosario + Vampire Capu2, Linebarrels of Iron, and The Tower of Druaga: the sword of Uruk. On May 30, GDH announced a net loss of 3.752 billion yen (about US$35.44 million) on 6.853 billion yen (US$64.45 million) of revenue for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2008. GDH's stock price stands at 21,000 yen (US$198) on Wednesday, after briefly rising above 50,000 yen (US$470) in May.
