Queen's Blade 2: The Evil Eye [Blu-ray]

Good Story - High Level Fan Service
This is a review of the Blu- Ray version of Queen's Blade 2. For those who did not see Queen's Blade 1 the basic story is that every four years beautiful women warriors fight it out to decide who will be queen. This battle was instituted by the angels to keep even more devastating wars from happening. In QB 1 our heroine, Leina, sets out to escape her father (and sisters) and eventually travels to the capital city to join the the battle. Along the way she runs into many other warrior and a somewhat flaky angel, plus three minions of the evil swamp witch. QB 1 concludes with everyone arriving at the capital for the final battle.The battle wear of the girls is almost always some brassier and a thong. Fairly quickly they lose almost all their clothes, thus gaining a 16+ rating. This fan service is not just once but almost constantly throughout the show. Queen's Blade 2 is not just the same, but even more so. There are three different closing credits scenes with the three different swamp witch minions, but all exude overt sexuality, with words to match. The artwork is very good, especially in blu-ray.QB 2 is given over to the official battles in the capital for the queen's title. It rapidly becomes apparent in this show that the real evil person to be beaten is the old queen, who has been running around encasing people in stone. In fact the minions of the evil swamp witch are entered in the tournament. The swamp witch herself is never really seen anywhere in the series and is pretty much something of a non-player. During QB 2 each of the girls who entered the contest get a chance to battle for the queens title, even the flaky angel. Every warrior gets to work our her story so there are almost no questions left unanswered. Our heroine gains experience and strength with each of her battles until she gets to face the queen. The storyline stays engaging, thus really does deserving 5 stars.There are a host of extras included, including 12 OVAs, opening and closing animations without text, and some interviews with the Japanese voice actresses at a Japanese anime convention.

Queen's Blade 2
Queen's Blade 2 continues where the first one left off. The tone of the anime is much the same as the first series. It's still women fighting women often missing important pieces of clothing. It's still on the lighter side in terms of emotional impact for a fighting series. I believe that only one character actually dies during the time frame of this series. The pace of this series is a little faster than the first one. I believe that once the battle start, the second or third episode, at least one battle is completed in each episode. Sometimes two or more. Besides the pace that the battles come and go, a lot of story elements happen outside the battles, plus the comedy elements of the first series continue on in this one. If you liked the first Queen's Blade, this is worth getting to complete the story.

Beautiful High Quality (Mature) Animation with Epic Story.
If you bought the first Bluray you know the quality of the animation is almost flawless, absolutely beautiful animation, colors, and artstyle. The story might be very silly and indecent for those that are not into this genre... but if you're a fan of epic stories and fan-service driven anime, you will find it very entertaining all through out. Truly a must-buy of the genre because of the blatant over-the-top animation. Even with all the nudity and sillyness, they still manage to deliver a solid touching story, the score helps this quite a bit because it has that very heroic-feel... which makes it very emotional. It kind of makes you forget that the hero of the story and most of the fighters are half nude, quite an achievement I say, lol.Cheers.

Great Bluray addition
I bought this series since I had the entire DVD collection. I bought this to go with the Bluray first season of Queens Blade so I could make my own limited edition artbox. I did the same with my DVD collection of Queen's Blade, Ikkitousen the complete series beside Ikki Tousen Dragon Destiny first three volumes in a nicely done art box along with my personal favorite of the DVD and Bluray High School of the Dead Art Box.

The scantily-clad fantasy saga continues!
If you're here you hopefully have seen the first "season" of Queen's Blade episodes and want the second half. The diverse, almost-entirely female cast of warriors continue their march towards a showdown with the tyrranical queen of Gynos. This is one of the best guilty-pleasure titles I've seen, and is definitely pr0n with plot, good world-building, and great character acting. It's great to see longtime adult animators like Rin Sin doing such fine work without having to disrobe the principals entirely.

Watch only if you like adult content!
*I'm not going to get into serious detail about this anime because there are seven more detailed reviews to read.I highly recommend someone to watch this if they are over 18 and have a perverted side to them. Queens Blade is NOT for everyone!In every episode their is some sort of nudity and most of the characters are dressed in skimpy clothing.Once again this anime takes fan service to a whole different level.

finally!
season 2 is great, since you spend the whole first season talking about a huge tournament (the namesake queen's blade) and never see the actual tournament. this part of the series takes all of the characters from the first season further, adds some new characters, and brings the whole story together better. season one is great, this is an excellent follow up

ものによる?うちでは問題なく見れました。
ちなみにPS3です。ここで言われている冒頭の無音もなく、音とびや後半部の停止などもありませんでした。なので、当たり外れがある可能性はありますが、取り合えず問題なしと判断いたしました。他、字幕も消せる・日本語オッケー、特典のガイノス学園も収録してあり、一期の北米版と同じクオリティになっていて楽しめました。作品の内容は、一期を楽しめた人なら買いだと思います。一期よりもストーリーがドラマチックで各キャラの掘り下げもパワーアップしています。お色気的なシーンはちょっとパンチが弱いかな・・・戦闘で服びりびりは一期と同じですが、やっぱ恥じらいがないとね〜と(苦笑今回の評価:普通に見れた、楽しめた、安く買えた、ということで☆五つとさせていただきました。

ちょっとメニューで迷う
内容は既に多くのレビューにある通り。ディスクメニューでSCENEセレクトをすると2話しか現れず、しかも下方向にカーソルを動かすとトップレベルに戻ってしまうので最初は2話しか入っていないのかと焦るのだが、カーソルを右に動かして行くと次々と現れる。ウチのマルチリージョン・プレーヤでは特に音声などに問題は無かった。特典映像は日本語音声のみで英語字幕がつくようだ。

残念…。
北米版BDを今回初めて購入しました。日本の高すぎる価格と比べ、有りがたい商品ですね。これでも利益は確保されているんですから…。さて商品ですが、正直なところ少しばかり残念です。画質や日本語音声等は標準的で良かったのですが、各話の冒頭5〜8秒、音声がありません。セリフがぶち切れた状態から、いきなり始まります。本編視聴には大きな影響は無いですが、日本でお金を払って購入する場合では、まず不良品という事になりますね。低価格故の低品質と考えるべきなのでしょうか…。その点だけが残念でした。
