Queen’s Blade is a anime that essentially is a fighting show. Women compete every four years for the honor to become queen. The show focuses mainly on Leina, the middle daughter and heir to a Count who doesn’t wish to follow in her pre-planned life path to forge out on her own. However, she is woefully unprepared and learns much about the world on her travels. But she meets and fights many other girls along the way and finding many excuses to loose her clothes.

Despite this show being created just to show T&A, the animation is pretty good. The character designs are good and varied, and the flow of the action is pretty smooth. The background art is interesting. And since there are many different lands where the combatants originate, there are many different settings they have to create.

But if you’re not into excessive fanservice, you best stay clear of this title. It is rated 17+, and boobs fly around exposed every episode. I certainly would not pick this up for any public library. Not to say that there would not be an audience of teen boys who would love it. But if a parent were to catch a glimpse of the show, I would be very hard pressed to justify it’s presence in any library collection.
