The story, according to the official site (www.funimation.com/witchblade):
"Sought by the greed of Men since the dawn of Humankind, but only bestowed upon the woman whose fate it forever scars - The Witchblade. Is it the Righteous Sword of God, or the Hand of the Devil Himself?
Now a new bearer has been chosen and she must discover the answers for herself. As she stands on the brink of destiny, she is forced to seek the balance between ectasy and ruin..."
One thing's for sure: The anime take on Witchblade is definately hot!
The first DVD will include episodes 1-4, and there's a collector's box that includes the Witchblade soundtrack "Sexual Panic".
