Review: Queen’s Blade

April 1, 2010
Queen's Blade

The title card of a masterpiece.

Full review of Queen’s Blade

Easily the greatest anime I’ve seen, I would even put Queen’s Blade in the running for the greatest anime of all time. It is a classic hero’s journey with a surprisingly insightful story, highlighting the joys and sorrows of a bygone era.

  • Score: 100%
  • Opinion: masterpiece
  • + story is pure and simple on the outside, but hides a lot of depth
  • + well written characters
  • + excellent character designs and animation
  • - that one woman with the 5-foot jubblies
  • Conclusion: When I watch Queen’s Blade, I see a metaphor for our lives wrapped in the format of an epic journey and fighting tournament. It is the truest art you can find in anime.
