While I can understand why you may be disappointed with the anime - not to your taste - you can't knock the plot. The anime's plot is top notch if you give it time.
Masane Amaha is your typical, protective mother and will do anything for her daughter. The new ability she discovers within herself brings both a shadow over that motherly nature and her own personality. In later episodes this is explored alot more, with constant conflict between her two identities and other problems.
Overall, the anime was done superbly to my liking. The ending is a real tear jerker.
By the way, Sulalee, I strongly disagree with your comment on how animes 'have bad story-telling.' There are alot of animes out there with mind-blowing plots to rival, and even better, a Spielberg production. If you want superb story-telling then watch Ghost in the Shell, need a touch of poignancy then watch Devilman Lady.
I cannot find a fault with how the story progresses in both.

I feel the complete opposite of the TC.
I never really cared at all for Witchblade until I saw the anime. I watched the TV show and I really couldn't get into it at all. However, I watched the anime I really enjoyed it. I then tried to read the comic, but I just couldn't get into it that much either.
With that said, the anime Witchblade is its own seperate beast entirely. I really liked the dramatic and realistic approach to the story and characters, and I thought it had a lot more sex appeal than the comic. Masane's character definetly felt a lot more down to earth compared to Sara. The anime is definetly my favorite version. Even though the comic has a much bigger and wider universe, the anime made a big impact on me within its short 24 episodes. But I guess it depends on which one you see first.
