I watched this anime called Queen's Blade today.

...
...



How are able to battle when their boobs are as big as the weapons they fight with? They obviously made this for guys lol. Has anyone heard about this?

[Voxx]

Oy... *walks away*

[wrexness]

Heard of it, had a slight curiosity about it, never bothered to watch it.

*Note* Did you mean for the subtitle to read "defiles", or did you mean "defies"? I would accept either response. XD

My review from when the show came out:
Queen`s Blade: Wandering Warriors: 0 of 5: Killing yourself with a butter knife would be better then this piece of garbage. Plot summery: Random big breasted girl is picked at random...seemingly do to skimpy outfit and big breasts...is picked to fight in a tournament to decided the next queen. The queen of what they don't say apparently none of my business. After lots of bad dialog, the first battle begins, it is between our dumb blond and an acid squirting women. Where does she squirt acid from, her tits where else. After much poorly animated fighting the blond defeats the brunette by ramming her boobs against the acid squirters set. The backup then causes her to explode.

It is actually licensed in the US by Media Blasters..who else would touch it.

He's not making this up either...this does happen in the anime...

The whole reason this show was made was to be borderline hentai.

That being said, if thats what you're looking for, it serves its purpose. Otherwise, you can ignore it pretty safely.

So it's not even bad enough to be laughable?

Wow--that's awful.

I'm watching now. I can't stop alternating between crying from laughing.. and curling up in pain.

I watched both seasons. It's not meant to be taken seriously. I thought it was pretty funny. It's kinda like how some people can watch horror movies (or even porn) just to laugh at it.

So it got 0/5 in some of the reviews... Well did you expect anything else? Come on now...

I wouldn't say its "good" by any means, but it depends what you're trying to get out of watching it. For such an adult show, there sure are some popular Seiyuu in the show. It has Aya Hirano in it! I will watch an anime for that alone.

I'm not one to defend the story or the depth of the characters, but to be objective, you have to look at what the targeted demographic is expecting to get out of the show. It was entertaining to me by just the fact of how obviously vulgar the show was while attempting to bring out seriousness in some of the scenes.

I think that it is unfair to review the show based on the first episode, alone. The first episode was probably my least favourite of the entire first season. There are some likeable characters in the show and interesting themes/relationships between some of the characters.

Is it capable of satisfying its demographic (even if that demographic is arguably narrow)? I think so (considering I am a fan).

This show looks ridiculous as a show, but is it supposed to be a hentai? If that's the case, maybe it is a good hentai? I wouldn't know...just googled it and saw the boobage.

Its not Hentai.. Just very ecchi. There are some funny characters and some likable characters and battles. If you like excessive fan service, might be worth a try. And the first episode is kinda stupid.. So you might not want to base your whole opinion on just that episode. The best part of the show for me is it has Aya Hirano in it and her character is really funny.

Well, since I am a girl, the fanservice doesn't quite do it for me. But I can see why it's liked by people who do like it.

Honestly I think of it as hentai for people who are too embarrassed to admit they watch hentai. Theres enough blatant nudity and other points of fanservice that you simply can't pass it off as anything artistic. It goes way beyond the level of normal ecchi series.

[Keiichi-chan]

it's an anime. a JAPANESE anime.
are we going to pretend stuff like this is surprising at all?
doesn't look any different from the female characters in BLEACH.

The widely-accepted definition of hentai (at least compared to ecchi) is the depiction of lower frontal nudity, and/or penetration (or worse). Hence, Queen's Blade does not really fit the definition. Nudity? Yes. For Adults? Yes. Hentai? No.

If you would like a couple titles for comparison, look at Bible Black or Ride of the Valkyrie. Those are hentai. (both of which, coincidentally, I'm not too "embarrassed" to admit I've watched)

That makes sense. Like, there's boobs in rated R movies, but I've never seen a girl's V@g!na in movies at all...

I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to say that word on the forums...

[kenkendazo]

This sounds pretty bad...






I may have to look it up.
