That be nice but I wonder if it will be more like the actual comic book and less like the live action series.

Not really, in fact, fans of the Witchblade comic aren't particularly fond of the anime. To quote from an article about it:

"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. This has caused some fans to cry out against what they see as a Nipponisation of the franchise."

I saw some of this anime. It didn't seem that great.
Banned by my own request.
