I stopped watching animes a long time ago but recently decided to netflix a series called Witchblade. I only wish someone had told me about it sooner. I mean its still got the ridiculous japan-anime elements to it of course, but not as overbearing as most at least in my opinion (which is partly why I stopped watching them.) The plot hasn't been totally predictable and actually suprised me a few times. Also I like the fact that while they choose to use a lot of gratuitous cleavage and butt shots, they don't go too overboard with sexual stuff.

Overall Ive enjoyed it and its not left that regretful taste in my mouth that most others usually do. Seriously doubt this will get me back into anime, but its nice to have found something Im enjoying to watch rather than waiting to get it over with so I can ship it back.
