Uichi Buredo?
Anime news sites are buzzing about the news that Gonzo is going to produce an anime based on Top Cow's Witchblade comic property, but will replace Sara whatserface (a NYC cop I think - one of those gritty urban professionals) with a Japanese character. Gee. Wonder if all those otaku who scream bloody murder whenever a foreign property is adapted with a blonde gwailo replacing the lead character are going to squawk about this one. (not that I'm saying it's right to replace the lead character willy-nilly to attract a whider audience.)
Personally, I always regarded Witchblade as one of those comics that displays busty women armored with +20 Bulletproof Nudity to get adolescent males to buy them. I understand there was a TV show, but then the lead actress checked into rehab, and... yeah.
