Hentai warrioress anime Queen’s Blade is shaping up to be as much a battle between censors and fans as it is a battle between busty maidens.
The latest episode, heavily censored on terrestrial TV and on YouTube (just as before), is an example of this, with quite the sales push in favour of the DVDs in evidence.
In particular the mass naked lady event that is the Queen’s Blade OP and ED has seen much additional coverage…





However, some fans are actually approving of the tastefully executed cover-up in the credits, presumably on the basis of concealment being more erotic than outright exposure.
The good source.
Yes. Let us cover these things up so children can finally watch it censored, but still wank to it, than ask mommy why it feels so good to look at tits.
lol, the next Kanokon, is it? I wonder if they'll even proceed to try and get the DVD? Crazy Japan and all, you know? hehe
DVD better have both version, some of the clothes are stylish.
NOOOOOOOOOOO! MY EYES! MY EYES! THE CENSORS! PLEASE TAKE THEM CENSORS AWAY! THE CENSORS ARE KILLING ME!
evil censors! think of the children! oh wait, lol..
then again, yeah, think of the children who turn to their mommies asking "why did the screen get so bright?" or "why didn't that fireball hurt anybody?"
And people said Queen's Blade had no artistic merit...
I don't get people... none except the 3rd pic actually looks like it's been "clothed". The rest look poorly covered up by something or other. Maybe it's just that I'm used to seeing them uncovered, but the covered up ones look like the cloth and stuff on them are tacked on and not part of the picture at all, which is actually what they are anyways.
I find it hotter most of the time to see a hot girl covered up, too... but it depends on how and what they're covered up with.
actually, I even think they try to make it look noticeably censored, so that more people know and buy the DVD to see the real goods.
episode 2 still pisses me off
i dont like the idea of exploding kamikaze miko
Just clothing the characters is a much better way of censoring quality-wise than steamclouds that obscur half the screen.
I honestly think part of the reason is to make people want to buy the DVD, by making them know it's been obviously censored.
well it goes to show that they CAN do decent censoring, it's just mainly not worth the money or time to them-_-;
This might actually be one of the better censors I've seen. It actually looks plausible, and most of the time I wouldn't be able to tell unless I'd seen the original.
Fail. This thing's hilarious and one of the reason is all the boobs flying around. Take that away and it's not even worth watching.
i lol'd
I don't get it guys. In no way the censored version may be better. It's ridiculous.
In this case let's censore all the ancient Greece and Roman's statues, paintings and so on.
FOR ALL ANIME CENSORS IN AMERICA...HERE IN BRAZIL WE'RE GOING A PLACE CALLED "PUTA Q'O PARIU"...ASK A BRAZILIAN MAN THE SIGNIFICATE,OK??
if you censor this I will be VERY displeased !!!
the people that censored the anime should die
Clothes ARE hotter... IF THEY'RE WET! Now that would be a PERFECT WIN.
i found that the clothed version is as appealing as its exposed version
I preffer the left one without clothes,even the third one left seems really artistic.
FUCK, When will Cattleya show up in the show already?
^^^ the ultimate question. I'm crossing my fingers for the next episode. But it kind of makes me sad when I think about how there only 10 or so episodes left, 20 minutes each, and like 20 women/girls to cover/uncover with them. And that's probably just if it's successful, right? I really hope Cattleya gets good screen time.
Because Breasts the size of turkeys and incestual pedophila are pig disgusting
maybe you would like to have some forbidden fruit? :)
hmm, maybe that's the creepiest thing I've ever said.
Covering up and showing just a bit is always better than going full blast.
Personally I like both the covered and uncovered parts of Queens Blade. The covered part gives the feeling they're like fighting goddesses or something, the uncovered part gives me the Renaissance feel of old paintings. One reason why I like Queens Blade.
Clothing is nice. Too much nudity feels cheap. I get more satisfaction if I earn a tit by watching for more than 3 minutes.
The bastards !
God, why wont anyone sub this D:
It makes no sense to me either why no one is subbing this. It also makes no sense to me how everyone (outside of Sankaku at least) is saying that this anime has zero plot, doesn't make sense, is boring, a pointless waste of time, and that it sucks.
There IS a plot, and it's comprehensive. Everything was comprehensive. It's just not such a great plot, although it's a pretty awesome one as far as ecchi anime goes (for me, in more ways than just plot, this stuff already beats Kanokon, Ikkitousen, and every other ecchi anime I've seen since I was 12).
And doesn't make sense? It's one of the most simple and easy to understand plots ever. Were people so shocked after seeing leina piss herself in the first 5 minutes that their brains shut down until the explosion at the end? Why does it not make sense to people how melona's boobs exploded? How hard is it to figure out that melona is not human and is made of jelly/acid? Do you need a character watching from the sidelines to explain every detail to you, since you can't think for yourself, like some other famous anime do (god I hated dragon ball Z)? Maybe it's just that massive, deep, convoluted, and twisted plots make more sense than extremely simple plots to these people? Forget ecchi anime, few anime with or without ecchi have very good plots.
I really don't care if people don't like it, just don't watch it (I mean, why did you if you knew anything at all about it before watching it? Did anyone watch the traier? Why even give this a shot if you know you want plot over boobs?). I saw some people actually complain that there were too many boobs on the screen. I can't even begin to wonder why those people wasted time dling it in the first place. But it's just that some of these people are subbers, or subbers that are thinking no english speakers want to see this anime.
If Kanokon, Ikkitousen, and other ecchi anime before this (many with worse plot, characters, music, art, quality, etc) can get good, comprehensive fansubs, why can't Queen's Blade?
And yeah, I care about understanding ecchi anime. Often, it adds to the ecchiness when I knew what's going on. It's hot to see boobs exposed in an otherwise casual setting. A boob pops out, everything continues naturally and no one mentions it. Good ecchi stuff right there. Besides, like I said, I don't think the plots all that bad. I'm liking the characters for more than one reason, and I'm interested to see what will happen to them and what they'll do next.
As far as this being borderline hentai, and the closest ecchi anime has ever come to hentai: why? Because leina's boobs were casually exposed for the first 10 minutes? Or because she pissed herself? I'd still say Kanokon is closer to a hentai than this is so far. No one has even attempted fucking anyone is this, while in Kanokon there were many scenes that made you seriously think it'd end in rape (of Kouta). And some scenes in Kanokon practically did look like sex scenes.
Their blood flow is directed away from their heads, making them unable to concentrate.. and thus it's either no subs at all.. or rather poor ones.
Or well, that's my theory at least.
People who subbed the first episode already noted that they lose concentration very fast, and I don't blame them for that.
Not good enough! I want my free crappy subs!
It's shit.
It's being subbed by Aasasubs who aren't known for their quality; but then again, it's not like anyone's expecting this to be a quality anime, either.
Flat chest is boring.
Flat chest is also win ,sir.
I like both:)
While some clothing in the ED does look more aesthetically pleasing, any censorship is bad censorship, no exceptions.
I actually like the covered up OP and ED. Not necessarily MORE than the other, but it looks nice.
At least they didn't make them total glare- and shadow-fests.
so is that one station still broadcasting the uncensored version?
Disgusting lumps of fat.
Needs more DFC and/or loli.
Hell no.
The fuck is wrong with you?
What's wrong with both of you? Either kind is allowed to be liked, and everyone is allowed to like either one.
Anyways, there IS some DFC in this anime, as is some bakunyuu, but the norm is mid-sized stuff. If all you want is DFC, then it'd probably be more constructive to find something where everyone IS a DFC, rather than complain and want something to change for you.
B=C=A<D<anything else.
PERIOD!!!1111
I have to ask you guys seriously, do you have any idea of cup sizes and how much they might differ anyway?
I'm a large E and people, even girls, have mostly guessed C and at times even B, with clothes on. If I'm naked, they guess C or D. No one has ever told me that my boobs are disgustingly huge, even though most people still say that a D is almost too big already.
Nonetheless, most don't get it right at all. I know someone who was dubbed a DFC by her boyfriend and was the same size I am (albeit closer to D than F, unlike me).
Applies to both genders. Seriously. Cup size means nothing unless you're buying a bra for someone. An A cup most likely doesn't have huge boobs, yeah, but an A-girl's boobs can look bigger than those of a C girl.
Learn this, please.
LOLI-LEVEL-FLAT FUCK YEAH >A>C>B>shit>D and larger
Fixed that for you.
Fucking underage shits, HURRR BIG BOOBZ IZ BEST.
better an underage shit loving big womanly boobs than an old senior shit loving flat, underage chests?
Huh.
Well, at least they're making a move.
well, at least they don't use that light trick... it would be disastrous.
too much of anything is bad...
"presumably on the basis of concealment being more erotic than outright exposure."
and i approve of this comment
seconded
Thirded
NINTHED
9001sted, lol.
The third picture actually looks nicer witht he clothes on...or maybe it's the clothes that just looks nice...
You are a woman hater, you hate women and there for want to oppress them by smothering them in hot stuffy clothing where they can't breath :(
Very mean.
Her boobs want to be out they want to bask in the sun, and breath the fresh air!
YES! FREE THE BOOBIES!
the style of clothes as well as the pose and model look good as a whole. definatly an improvement over the nude version. the second one is also better with the cover up, looks aesthetically pleasing.
No.
Maybe
maybe not
maybe yes
Yes.
3rd pic. looks beter with clothes.
actually for the second last set of comparisons, the middle comparison, the scene on the left happened, then Tomoe covered her nipple as seen on the right...
and i'd prefer them with clothes >_>
Why do they even bother with a censored version the only reason people watch it is for the ladies. This would never sell without the nudity.
More people knowing about the anime means more people interested in the anime, and more people interested means more sales of the expectantly better DVD, which means more queen's blade in the future. So, I totally approve of this.
oppai ga ippai
i prefer the clothed pictures
...I actually prefer the clothed version to the naked version...
Much more stylish.
is queen's blade really HENTAI? i think its only ecchi with lots of fan service
You mean officially? No, it was never labeled a hentai. Most people think it's a borderline hentai, but I personally don't see it going that far.
I think the cover-ups are tasteful as well.
i like the picture with the clothes on.....
in fact i dont like this anime why? simple....
big breast are scary.... >.<
Oh good grief they're just boobs.
exactly, so why should they be censored
hmm... I wonder if they would sensor it in some European countries? Like Sweden or Denmark? Maybe even put it on daytime TV? :O I mean, mostly anyone from anywhere else in the world would be shocked at what kind of films in those countries have the equivalent of a US G rating.
and here, i found a link to the video again if anyone's interested
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtuc4_car-girls-strip_sexy
yeah, i saw this video once of a public sexy car wash in Europe where the girls actually stripped in front of the family filled crowd :O There was a young boy, front row and center, and he was literally shaking and holding his dick with his eyes popping out. That made me wonder, if women freely walked around topless in the streets, would that awesome plan backfire and we'd be commonly seeing boys fresh off puberty trying to cover their erections and creaming their pants in public? Would they be caught for public indecency or something? Inquiring minds need to know!
Nope, we Europeans don't really care about tits... Not as a bad thing, that is. ;) I mean, a 15-year-old can purchase porn magazines in Finland, so why would they forbid tits in TV? It might get a 15+ rating if they appear in sexual context, but that's about it.
Nanael!!! I love you!!!
Covering something that nice to see? Damn censorship. LOLZ
Bit late to be covering up, the opening (or ending whichever it is, I haven't watched it) is the only time the breasts look nice
I think both are insanely hot~
Leina looks like a Greek goddess~ Ahhhh so lovely
I think you confessing your love for Leina is even hotter!
Yeah, I have to wonder why more female characters like this aren't thought of as hot or cool by other girls. Guess that's just a stigma of society? I mean, when I was a kid I, as well as many other boys my age, thought Conan was awesome (can't talk about hotness, lol, I don't even think I new about that concept back then). Actually, Conan's still cool. Hot? Well I guess I could see that, lol (but not through my eyes :/)
No damn it!
The 4th picture with all the girls is a lot worse in censored. Third picture is also a lot worst in censored.
Making the breasts flatter would have been a better improvement.
So have you just shown me all the best bits? No point watching it now ;D
but seeing it in motion is even better, right? The animation in this anime is great for that very reason.
Veoh removed the 1st episode for some reason...There was 2 different subs. One being the usual group that gets it right, the other was OK for 2 minutes then got HORRIBLE by talking in crappy online wording & symbols...
we were going to pick this up at [Chihiro] but it sucked so bad so were doing Hatsukoi Limited instead.
They could put Menasu in a hoodie and sweatpants and I'll still fap.
