I understand how people would be taken aback by Queen's Blade (Extreme ecchi stuff and yuri undertones like Ikki Tousen) but I love ecchi shows.

This is exactly the reason why I decided to take a look at the series. I was curious of how much of a waste of voice talent this was considering the line up. (You forgot Noto Mamiko, Rie Tanaka... the entire list is pretty much top class voice actresses.) Even knowing how bad it looked from the screenshots, I couldn't even last long enough to find out. Everything about it was so horrible that I couldn't even make it past the two minute mark. Yea... Zac's score pretty much sums up this series. My memory of the series is already missing so I can't really demand that piece of my life back.
You clearly are missing why people aren't liking it. Last edited by bayoab on Fri Apr 03, 2009 9:26 am; edited 1 time in total |

Seeing that I disagree with 95% of anything that comes from Zac's typing fingers, I'm expecting K-ON to be gold. That'll have to wait until after work though...
Though I will take the advice on Queen's Blade though. Is it really that bad? I've been waiting to fill that empty void that's been around since Gun-doh Musashi

He's going to discover quite a difference between him and ikillchicken whenever the opportunity arises. I knew that Zac was going to preview Queen's Blade, boy was I right. But hey, the anime has some potential if Carlo rated it a 0.5 out of 5, right?  Is it just me, or has the review team gotten smaller? I could have sworn that there used to be two or three more people doing reviews, besides Key.

I'm not sure I'd call it a roleplaying game, per se, but it certainly contains elements of RPGs. The older American version of the game wasn't about the ecchi (in fact, IIRC, the art was standard crappy fantasy art), so I suspect its renewed popularity in Japan is based largely on the art. |

I just have a general complaint/observation:
As this is just a preview guide, I don't really think it's appropriate to say "Reviews available now:" in the little featured box on the main page - as these are just impressions of an anime based of 1 or 2 episodes. Perhaps change it to "Previews" or "Impressions" available now. |

I'm doing a bad anime panel for Yasumicon 2009. I've been trying to avoid unlicensed series because I want to be able to tell people where to find these atrocities (if they dare) and since we're affiliated with Florida International University we can't advocate illegal downloading. But I'm thinking Queen's Blade might at least deserve some kind of (dis)honorable mention.

Yeah, Queen's Blade is pretty much GARBAGE. The only this it has going for it is the high end voices and some of the designs. Maybe the music, but the animations is pretty bad, the story...killed itself, and the battles are lame.

I agree completely with Zac's rating for Queen's blade. How can people put this crap out on the air. *sigh* It's been getting harder to find decent anime these days. Most of the stuff out there just panders to a specific audience and do not focus on making a good series.

At least pretend like you read the frontpage introduction.

There is that, plus there's also the fact that they offer scores for these new series. That's really what I meant by a flawed way of doing things. I mean, sure these are early impressions, but how many of these people are gonna tough it up and watch the whole thing? |

Re: Queen's Blade.
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right. Crazy over the top boob fights? Hilarious. I am so there. |

Re QB: Oh well, it's a recession so now we have hentai getting into mainstream anime. Zac's rating was hilarious.
Hopefully someone else reviews K-On! besides Zac.

I wouldn't watch Queen's Blade in it's entirety either. If the first episode is horrible, why watch the rest? If you found the first Wheel of Time book horrible, would you read everything just to "give it a chance"? I wouldn't, I really doubt anyone would. |
