Witchblade Anime Opening subbed

In 2004 Japanese animation studio GONZO announced an anime version of Witchblade, with a subsequent manga adaptation. The anime version is considered controversial by some due to the fact that GONZO has announced that the main character of the anime is of Japanese ethnicity but is not Itagaki, one of the previous bearers of the Witchblade. Instead it is a new character named Masane. In fact this series sets up an entire new story, with all new characters, and probably won't be considered as canon.

Burst Angel Opening FMV

A new law has been passed in Tokyo, Ordinary people are allowed to freely carry firearms. Crime has turned citizens against each other in a fight for survival on the city's mean streets. Thanks to the Recent Armed Police of Tokyo, the arrest rate is going down. After all, the only prison a dead man needs is a hole in the ground.
A young man responds to an ad seeking a cook, quite understandably he's a little put out when one of his would-be employers turns out to be a white-haired psychopath, called Jo. She lives in a gigantic tanklike vehicle along with three other girls: aggressive but soft-hearted cowgirl Meg, sneering computer whiz Amy and their more mature and reserved leader, Sei. Together, the four women are an elite bounty-hunting/mercenary team, and given their intrigue-filled lives, it's no wonder they don't have time to cook for themselves. In response to a secret and deadly underground crime ring, our fearless foursome decide its time to take a stand. Someone's got to protect the city... it might as well be them.
