What happens

Witchblade (Japanese: ウィッチブレイド, Hepburn: Uitchibureido) is a Japanese anime television series loosely based on the American comic book of the same name. It was directed by Yoshimitsu Ōhashi, with Yasuko Kobayashi handling series scripts, Makoto Uno designing the characters, and Masa Takumi composing the music. The series was broadcast for 24 episodes on CBC and TBS from April to September 2006. A packaged version of the series in eight DVD volumes was released, followed by a DVD box version released in 2008. The series sets up an entirely new storyline with all new characters, but in the same continuity as the original comic books. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
