Anime Spotlight: Queen’s Blade


Posted on May 5, 2014 by Jason Nason

So I’ve decided to start doing brief Anime spotlights here, though not so much full reviews. These will be little bits about the show, what they’re about and my thoughts on them. I’ve started to pick a random anime this week which is available to view for free on Crackle. You can follow the link at the bottom of the review if you’d like to take a look at the anime as well.

The random selection this week is an anime called Queen’s Blade. The season available on Crackle is season 2.

My first impression of Queen’s Blade right away is that this is definitely one that is not suited for children. While a lot of anime are violent, this one has adult language and nudity. In fact you will see some a full topless character in the first minute of the first episode. There isn’t anything graphic in here, just what would normally be hidden from view is on full display here.
