Sony has hurriedly deleted an uncensored episode of Queen’s Blade it was giving away for free, having belatedly realised the show is no mere cartoon but instead a top tier yuri ero-anime.
Sony offered the series for sale as individually downloadable episodes on its PlayStation Network, rated as being for mature audiences only, and then offered the first episode up as a free download, even going so far as to recommend it as a deal of the week.
A sample of the offending content (the episode is particularly noted for the presence of exploding acid breasts):
Fortunately, the usual hypocritical American hand-wringing over the prospect of a minor seeing a bare nipple instead of the wholesome sight of one of the enemies of liberty being gunned down quickly interceded, with Sony realising its terrible blunder and pulling the episode completely and without comment.
Neither the show nor the preview can be watched by a minor using a parentally locked PS3.
Sony reportedly avoids giving away mature rated videos for some obscure American reason, instead responsibly limiting itself to selling them cheaply for direct download to anyone with a funded PSN account.
Although now apparently missing its first episode, the rest of the episodes are apparently still available.
International fans of the series will also be delighted to learn that the series has received a full English language DVD release, available now.
Those just wishing to inspect some of the steamy content on display in the episode can peruse the uncensored first episode preview here.

Why am I just now hearing about this after its been pulled... -_
Same here. Dammit, should've downloaded it.
I should have kept more attention on the Japanese store...
i thought we were talkin bout the american store dude -_-
America = Japan, right? I mean, Hiroshima... You mean they're separate places?!
/end sarcasm
I wish I had internet access... my PS3 has failed connection with my aunts router at it's current location >.<
I got lucky and have it downloaded on my PS3 before they pulled it.
I read about the free downloads from my FB. When I saw QB, I thought it was just going to be a censored version, so I didn't give it much thought. Damn, should've grabbed it when I first saw the post. Oh well, it's not like I can't just put the episode on my PS3 and watch it anyway. Shitty deals though.
The first four episodes are available on Crunchroll, subtitled. The first one is available for viewing without a membership now. Episodes 2-4 are available now to Anime members, available to all in 8 hours.
SONY: "oooops!" *wink *wink *thumbs up to otaku.
AMERICA RADICALS: "how could you sony, think of the children!!"
CHILDREN OF AMERICA: "i love you sony!"
OTAKU: "hmm, when microsoft messes up we get mad and break shit, when sony messes up, we smile approvingly." *thumbs up to sony
i agree full heartedly
It wouldn't matter if you had heard about it anyways. The PSN video store is region locked, unlike the game store. Unless you have a PS3 from Japan I don't believe there is any way to access it.
Lol, Sony probably thought Queen Blade is like Xena The Warrior Princess...
With Acid Tits, shotas, slime-girls and 30x the yuri rape content~
On the other hand, America allows porn stars to be be uncensored.
Irony indeed :3
Very ironic, like rain on your wedding day.
...
Uncensored porn!? Oh, those crazy Americans!
*BOOM! HEADSHOT!* = "It's awwwwriiight~!!!"
*Nipple slip~!* = "OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!"
"IMAGINE if they see something they... sucked from until some years ago."
It's actually Softcore <.<?
"Neither the show nor the preview can be watched by a minor using a parentally locked PS3." = "I AM TOO LAZY AND STUPID TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PARENT! YOU SHOULD KEEP THE PORN AWAY FROM OUR CHILDREN FOR US!"
I am sure these same children know every curse word in the book and look up internet porn everyday, anyways.
That's like saying "Someone call C.P.S on the Parent's because their children are playing violent video games online!"
I know...I guess some people can't seem to accept the fact that 2D anime porn exists and are better than real porn...
And the fun part is, the females DON'T fake their orgasms~
*salutes the Taimanin Asagi series and Dark Love*
damn it, i feel like im at such a loss, u know, with all the ero stuff on this site just not cutting it compared to Queens blade.
You see?
This is one of the things I don't get about my country.
They go crazy over something as simple as shown nipples.
This is an aspect where Japan actually wins.
Japan may censor genitalia, but atleast they don't go into shock over a nipple or two.
Shown nipples is a bit of an understatement when you talk about QB.
Goes to show that the employees at Sony are deathly afraid of their reputation...
If the world doesn't end in 2013, then I can only hope that at least half the employees of Sony become Hentai otakus and actually start an H-PSN download section...
More money and more happy gamers...A win-win situation for consumer and provider...
Why one would watch in english i have no idea.
For the story!
The story!
But that's what English sub-titles are for...
wow stupid americans. why even bother something your not getting? i wouldn't surprise if they censor characters with bra and pantsu only what a dumbass
Says the person who thought those POS Death Note movies were good. With such flawless english and global understanding, i'm sure you're the person to go to for cultural insight. I bet your country is the idyllic utopia of freedom, understanding, and peace, where censorship is an unknown word. I'm glad a god amongst men like yourself would take time to spread the truth to about us "stupid americans" to the world.
Please do not feed the troll
Sony isn't an American company, BAM.
Sony USA an AMERICAN branch of the Sony company is the moralist idiots in question.
I hope Sony USA's employees would get laid off and be replaced by the more hentai youths of today as their sales manager, distributor, and testers~
Out with the moralist old, and in with the hentai new~
damn im good
maybe they should check what the show is about before putting it up in the first place
Sony Japan fail to tell Sony America about Queen's Blade the minor details of this anime.
SonyUSA: Cool, so what's it about?
SonyJAP: Etto...it about sword and fighting, lot of blood.
SonyUSA: OH FUCK YEAH! We love blood and fighting, as long as there aren't any nipples. We fucking hate nipples. That's so offensive, brah.
SonyJAP: ... ┐('～`；)┌
Later...
SonyUSA: JAAAAAAAAAPPPPAAAAANNNNN!!!!
*benny hill music starts playing*
I LOL'D so hard at that ┐('～`；)┌
cuz i've had a japanese dude do that to me to. JAAPANNN
I laughed :D
@Reizo
*salutes*
I can't help but think of "Hetalia" characters when I read that...
*salutes again*
Thats the greatest thing that ever happened to the PS3. It should go down in history as the platform console to adulthood.
Aw shit, I need to start paying closer attention to the Videos on PSN. Oh well, ill just order the DVD, it'll be cheaper than downloading the individual episodes anyway.
oh great. i bet all the animes are now english dub by the time export to america.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Yes it is... I hate how English dubs rape the culture out of anime.
it's because you are a Weaboo, sane people enjoy good dubs
like gundam english dubs
how bout school rumble with english dub?
good dub? microsoft works? military intelligence? religious education? etc
