=== The Anime: ===

** The action side is surprisingly lame, in fact. Possibly because most of the mech-monsters are horribly designed for actual combat. To the point where you might wonder how they're actually useful in warfare. It's only when the neo-gens start showing up does the action get intense.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Tatsuoki Furimizu a.k.a. "Father". In his quest [[Squick|to be reborn from the loins of a Witchblade bearer]], he has countless genetically-enhanced women engineered from his own genetic material and subsequently equipped with manufactured copies of the Witchblade called Cloneblades. With full knowledge of the parasitic nature of these devices, he callously condemns countless numbers of his "children" to an early grave for the sake of his selfish ambitions. Moreover, his efforts to forcefully deprive Masane of the Witchblade ultimately work to expedite her inevitable death by forcing her to call upon its power in several unnecessary battles.

** As mentioned about, Masane gets invited to a fancy party for Wadou. Thanks to her, it takes less than half an episode for the party to turn into Reiji and Wadou trying to drink each other under the table.

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: "You're not afraid of me?" "'Course not. You're still my ''mom''."

{{quote| ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/witchblade/dvd-5 Review]:'' Her screen presence is all the more remarkable because the series ''does not go out of its way to aggrandize her''.}}

* [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper]]: Don't even try to tell anyone that the series is crammed with [[Character Development]] and [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]]; they'll take one look at the box and dismiss it as soft-core porn.
