12/28/2022 0 Comments Witchblade anime soundtrackThis opening is used in the second half of the show where the song does not fit whatsoever for the tone that this opening is used around. I assume that the genre used is Reggae, that’s fine and dandy. I am referring to the second opening theme “Dear Bob”. But the Witchblade anime contains one of the most useless and abominable anime openings I have ever heard and seen. The first closing “Ashita no Te” is okay I guess. The first opening “XTC” is alright and a decent opening at that, but that’s all I can pretty much say about it. In all honesty, I don’t have much to say about Takumi-san’s composition in the soundtrack. It does fit the series, but I personally found it forgettable. The soundtrack did not leave much of an impression on me because it is rather limited and there are not that many themes that encompass the 24 episodes in this anime. There are certain themes you’ll be hearing A LOT in this show and it gets old pretty fast. The music by Masanori Takumi doesn’t really stand out so much despite it fits the show just fine. The animation in this one exceeded my low expectations. In comparison to what GONZO made before the Witchblade anime. ![]() I will say that this was an honest effort by Studio GONZO since this is one of the few shows they made that doesn’t use cheap looking 3D animation. Another huge disappointment are the fighting scenes which the animation is sometimes not too great at presenting and the fight scenes are a little boring to look at sometimes. but the way the fanservice is used in the show is also not presented well either. The use of color had great potential because of its obvious expected fanservice. The animation is sometimes rather dull in its presentation. If you don’t know what a Succubus is, then google it. Even though it’s not explained, It may appear obvious that the Witchblade and Cloneblade wielders appear like Succubi, and the fanservice is fitting because of this. Speaking of which, I am completely excusing any fanservice that Witchblade contains because it actually fits in this anime. If you saw pictures or even covers of this show, the designs make it blatantly clear that there will be some fanservice in it. It still looks good but the direction of animation is a bit questionable. There are some dully animated moments and I take it that the budget was limited in this show. In all due respect, the animation is actually not that bad despite that Studio GONZO is behind this. In comparison to what came before it, this is a relief. The only use of the GONZO’s infamous trademark animation is during the first closing theme and that is only shown briefly. Much to my surprise, the Witchblade anime does not have GONZO’s awkward 3D animation. But the major thing that turns me off in an anime that they sometimes do is throw in their infamous 3D animation mixed in with the modern traditional animation style seen in anime today. I may have said this before in an earlier review but the things that irritate me with Studio GONZO is that they are inconsistent whether it be on direction, storytelling, and even animation. ![]() I have seen a number of GONZO’s titles and some of them never gave me much of an impression. I have always had special criticism towards Studio GONZO. Out of all the studios in the anime industry. it’s not that bad compared to what GONZO had made before. To be technical, this is a Studio GONZO production and.drumroll please. Hellbent on protecting her daughter, she will face her worst fear.
