Introduction
After experiencing the numerous trials encountered on her journey, Reina has grown as a warrior. Determined to take part in the Queen's Blade tournament, she arrives at the capital city Gainos, where Queen Aldora awaits. There gathers a number of beautiful warriors who, like Reina, are there for the Queen's Blade.
Amongst them is Reina's sister, Claudette, determined to restore the glory of House Vance; Tomoe and Shizuka, who are both fighting for their homeland of Hinomoto; Nanael who has been ordered to participate by the Archangel; and the subordinates of the Marshland Witch.
All these beautiful fighters who gather in Gainos have been one objective, to win through the Queen's Blade, the tournament to select the strongest, most beautiful queen. Who would ascend to that glorious throne? That can only be determined via battle.

The ultimate payoff for watching through the first season of Queen's Blade is that you're rewarded with this. The animation is even better, the fights begin to matter and have real stakes, the story and characters stand to become legitimately gripping at times. It is in every way an improvement from the previous season.
Queen's Blade truly starts at this point. From here on to the end, it is all about the tournament arc. You get to see all manner of exciting fights in so many cool and different arenas which can either elevate the tension or express awe-inspiring artistry. Each character in the arena brings something new and fresh to increase the stakes and show off some impressive technique or power. The moments outside of the fights serve well to meaningfully develop the characters and e…

When your tiddie anime has more depth within its plot than most non-tiddie anime in the past ten years, you know you got some problems. Well, okay, that might be a bit hyperbolic on my end. Nevertheless, when your expectations aren’t exactly that high for an anime of this genre that usually ends up falling flat on its face, you can’t help but commend it for sticking out above the rest.
Now I am not saying Queen’s Blade’s second season, subtitled Gyokuza wo Tsugu Mono (Inheritor of the Throne), is not without its flaws within its plot. It still suffers from the previous season, where there are so many characters in the show that you wished would have been explored more or given more screen time (my girl Menace deserves more love, dammit!). I’m hopeful that the 3rd season will fix this issu…

Well chaps, here we are. The end of the Queen's Blade tournament. A much better season than the first, for whatever it's worth. One finds most of one's questions answered by the end of the season and the story actually gains and follows a structure! Marvelous! Once again we decided to watch this one dubbed so grab your flip flops lads, it's party time.
Story
In this season we follow Laina: The Wandering Warrior on her journey to win the Queen's blade by fighting her friends without being frozen in some sort of undescribed crystal of urine. The same cannot be said for some other characters however, opening a rather perculiar sub-plot where a demon very quickly turns to the side of good just by walking around with a child (who's entire body is smaller than his mother's boobs) for a couple…

As I continue my newfound anime journey, I find myself constantly stunned at how adept these things are at conveying deep emotions seemingly out of nowhere. I started Queen's Blade like 99% of everyone else: for the *assets* of the characters and the promise of some questionable interpretations of the way gravity works. I stayed because of a great cast of characters with a huge range of motivations all interacting in unique--and oftentimes hilarious--ways.
The first season was a big mishmash of character introductions, like a series of early Marvel Cinematic Universe films compacted into twenty minutes and sprinkled with an overload of jiggly...ah...camera angles. But The Evil Eye brings everything together in the same way Avengers does: by playing established personalities off each othe…

This is a review of the Blu-ray version of "Queen's Blade: The Evil Eye" (Queen's Blade: Gyokuza wo Tsugu Mono) released by Media Blasters in 2011. It was viewed with English voice overs.
"Queen's Blade: The Evil Eye" falls into the category of fantasy action adventure with a significant degree of ecchi content. It is the sequel to “Queen’s Blade: The Exiled Virgin” (Queen’s Blade: Rurou no Senshi).
Parental Advisory:
The age rating on the Blu-ray packaging is listed as "16 AND OLDER" while some other sites including this one list it at 17+. Scenes with female topless nudity occur in every episode. Some episodes feature very suggestive poses or actions as well, but nothing overly graphic. The fantasy outfits that some of the females wear have little beyond the equivalent of thongs for th…

I agree that watching the first season of Queen's Blade may not be of much help while considering watching season 2; however, it is actually much better than one may have expected! Granted, there are LOTS and LOTS of fanservice (weird camera angles, jumping breasts, ripped clothes and suggestive poses), but if you don't mind fanservice (or if you even embrace it!) and give season 2 a chance, you'll see there are a lot of things that makes it worth to watch.
The story continues right where it was left on season 1 and the Queen's Blade tournament finally gets to its final stages. There are many characters with their backstories being told or expanded. Also, there are many cool matches during the tournament and Aldra's (the current Queen) role makes the whole thing much more interesting. Th…

So Queen's Blade is back with a second season. If you watched the horrendous first season, you're probably doubting whether you should start Gyokuza wo Tsugu Mono or not. Even I have to admit that I put off starting this season because I didn't want to sit through another 12 episodes of a jumbled up story that relied purely on fanservice. Thankfully, this is nothing like season 1. Pretty much the only similarity between season 1 and season 2 is that there's still an insane amount of fanservice. But Queen's Blade now isn't an anime that you want to laugh at for being so bad. Gyokuza wo Tsugu Mono is...actually pretty good.
Story: 8/10
Instead of an almost episodic plot containing random fights that didn't help progression at all, this season has a solid storyline. Every episode, two Queen'…
