1st Impression: Queen's Blade

Name: Queens Blade
Genre: Fantasy; Supernatural; Action; Ecchi
Studio: ARMS

Forgive me on the details, but I believe the "Queens Blade" is a contest held between powerful warriors to determine the next warrior queen. Having only watched the 1st episode no other plot indication has been given, except that the story may revolve around a family of warrior sisters and a vagrant warrior/thief.


Based on a manga I have never read, I was solely attracted to this title by the accompanying picture of the characters in full battle gear and the word ecchi in the caption.

An action packed 1st episode and a few very interesting battle techniques have left me with high expectations for the remainder of the series, whether my expectations will be met is yet to be seen.
As I've mentioned already, the biggest selling point of this anime will be the ecchiness of the show and boy is it available in copious amounts. The Queens Blade contest certainly seems to be a no-holds-barred, clothing optional type of contest.

The animation style is reminiscent of DBZ, sporting full-bodied female characters which I rather favour over the disproportioned females of other fighting type shows.
All been said, I really will only be watching this show for one reason.
