In late 2016, the 10th anniversary of the Witchblade anime was celebrated with the announcement of plans for a Japanese Blu-ray release of Gonzo's April-September 2006 adaptation of the like-named American comic. The set from Frontier Works features a new high-rate SD (480i) remaster of the 24-episode series on a single disc, a collection of liner notes and packaging art, new illustration by character designer Makoto Uno, and a limited edition acrylic stand. With tax, the April 26th release goes for 17,280yen.

Funimation released the anime in North America. It was also broadcast on IFC in 2008.

The new art has now been previewed....
