And to be honest, I don't even know what time period the original story took place myself. Has anybody read the original comics to find that out?
According to Wikipedia, Sara Pezzini had her first encounter with the WitchBlade in 1995 New York.

Sara (in the comic book) is slightly older than Masane.

The overall synopsis found in the official website states that Masane lost the memory six years prior to "year zero" which is when the story of the anime begins.
Her encounter with the WitchBlade was followed by a tremendous earthquake that sunk underwater most of Tokyo.
