My review for this anime was actually just one word:
Tits.
Honestly, this anime serves as decent fap material, but little else. The art is decent enough and there is heaping servings of ecchi in it, but that’s really all it has. The story sucks, the characters are uninteresting at best and …wait, did I say story? Not so much story as a weak plot point that connects one tit-filled scene to another. Even the action scenes aren’t done very well.
The only thing this anime does well is ecchi. It falls far short on all other fronts. (No pun intended)
Also, tonka, don’t ever compare this show to Kodomo no Jikan. Kodomo no Jikan was controversial, but it also has a good story and likable characters. Unlike Queens Blade I actually watched KnJ for the story, not the ecchi.
Okay, I’ve finally gotten a chance to start watching this series and I have a question. Where does this one sit in relation to Queen’s Blade: The Exiled Virgin? That’s the only other Queen’s Blade series I’ve watched, and this is the first I’ve seen of any other Queen’s Blade animes but it isn’t completing the story that The Exiled Virgin started.
Thank you. I’d seen The Exiled Virgin on Netflix streaming, and although I’ve kept my eyes open for them to have more I hadn’t seen anything else of Queen’s Blade appear there. Now if only I knew where I could go to watch The Evil Eye.
Thanks guys, guess I’ve got a reason to wander over to Crunchy Roll soon again. Right now I’m trying to get caught up on Polyphonica Crimson S before I work any others.
