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.

So kids should watch more blood, something they see only when they fall. Instead of watching exposed nipples, something which they will see tons of in their adulthood.
Damn, the kids wont have a good adulthood, thats not how to raise them, sony
Good point. Frankly, I would rather my children see explicit sexual acts then some of the 'hyper-violence' when I am not around to hammer into them "YOU DO NOT DO THESE THINGS IN REAL-LIFE!"
At least with sex, I can assume that they are having a consensual relationship with someone, like I taught them was the only acceptable relationship very young.
Seeing rivers of blood flowing isnt a problem, but place a nipple in there and "amfg morals morals!!"
This society should grow up finally.
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SUPPORT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. They can control what you watch or play just like what has happen.
Sad future for gaming.
There has been a great push for anime on the PSN recently. Anime + Playstation actually seems like a good match for each other. With so many Japan-orientated fans, the chance for success for Anime on PSN seems high.
NIS announced an anime "push" on PSN. They will be releasing some kind of anime service, or so I've heard. I can't wait to see what they've got, but I won't get my hopes up much.
The competition is also acting up. Microsoft announced partnership with CrunchyRoll, the guys who provide anime with questionable content but still provides anime either way.
To prevent these things from happening again in PSN, they should put parental controls on stuff next time instead of just putting Queens Blade in the front page...
Your puny PSN is no match for my Internet. Call me when PSN outdoes google.
Actually Google is getting worse as a search engine by the day. Whenever you search for an anime in Google, chances are that you'll end up clicking one of those spam pay-to-download websites.
Also, the PSN is a store, not a search engine.
This made me laugh pretty hardcore. I can't believe sony never heard of queen's blade...
Ehhh I dont care. I already have the uncensored version of season 1 and 2 plus the 10 OVAs, so I dont care.... (by the way, its pretty good and worth watching). But this is pretty funny if you ask me. As it isn't blatantly clear what Queens Blade is or what it shows.
Greg Miller of IGN was the one who contacted sony...
Bastard
here is the podcast that proves it http://retromovies.ign.com/games/audio/article/110/1105034/Game%20Scoop!%20Episode%20169.mp3 [http://retromovies.ign.com/games/audio/article/110/1105034/Game Scoop! Episode 169.mp3]
Cocktease
shit sucks
Just a FYI, the 1st episode IS back on PSN, just not for free.
Sony should offer the first episode of elfen lied free when available im sure nothing bad will happen.
Jesus you guys are a bunch of nationalistic asshats.
I remember this, got a PS Store update E-mail saying it was available but didn't immediately jump to the opportunity & now I regret it...
Oh well, there is always the DVDs...
good work!!! ha ha ha
i wish i knew about this :( and oh my god tits the world is going to die -_- plz ppl we will survive
I bet Sony'll pull the remaining episodes and replace them with censored ones to remove the "horrors of nudity."
It's always the americunt laws in the way...
There we go, Stupid Dumbfiuckistani (Americans) are fucking things up again. Not just in the real world but also in virtual... Well done!!!
hey guys it's NOT SONY's FAULT!
BLAME Greg Miller of IGN [http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1104918p1.html]!
"The show was free from Tuesday until sometime after 11 p.m. PST yesterday when IGN contacted Sony for comment. The company has not officially commented on Queen's Blade as of yet."
America needs to stop promoting the protection of morons. If your not smart enough to lock your kids PS3, and they get to see some bare, acid-spewing nipples as a result, it's on your head....
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!!!!
@Reizo
*salutes*
I can't help but think of "Hetalia" characters when I read that...
*salutes again*
*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
maybe they should check what the show is about before putting it up in the first place
Thats the greatest thing that ever happened to the PS3. It should go down in history as the platform console to adulthood.
it's a sony....
and why does sony doesnt know anything about queen's blade.. i mean i think every man should have known queen's blade
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
good dub? microsoft works? military intelligence? religious education? etc
how bout school rumble with english dub?
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.
damn im good
On the other hand, America allows porn stars to be be uncensored.
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*
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!"
Irony indeed :3
Very ironic, like rain on your wedding day.
