Queen’s Blade – Vanquished Queens OVA 3 fanservice compilation

It wasn’t long ago that I asked on this blog how cool it would be if a production company had the balls to make an entire episode feel like a fanservice special.  Well, Hoods Entertainment does exactly that, this episode is almost wall to wall fap material, and makes no real effort to create pretense.

While this could have been amazing if handled differently, the whole thing feels botched.  Ecchi presents sexuality in moderation, hentai is all about extremes.  Probably for that reason, ecchi has a certain charm and sexiness to it that hentai lacks, and by moving this far to the extreme this third OVA actually lost sex appeal for me.

I’m also not the biggest fan of S&M, urination, dehumanization, or cruelty.  I’m sure there are some guys that get off on that, but not me.  For me, it’s an obstacle if anything.  And if I was into it, I would still think there’s really no reason to inject that stuff into ecchi, as there is an overabundance of such material in hentai already.

Of course, being a red blooded male like most guys, it almost doesn’t matter how detestable the circumstances, if I see a young healthy woman’s boobs it’s going to feel good.  And this episode definitely provides plenty of such material.  With nudity in anime being on a slight decline over the past couple years, I’ll take what I can get.

My protests over the fetishistic nature of this OVA aside, this was actually the best OVA so far in terms of advancing the Queen’s Blade story.  It is the first time in the series where we actually see the Swamp Witch Werbellia in the flesh, prior to this she had always been seen as a fiery visage through a crystal ball, and usually only then to scold or punish her minions: Menace, Airi and Melona.

The OVA also depict’s Leina’s outward transformation which occurred between the original story and Queen’s Blade Rebellion, where she takes on a very different look and assumes a new identity.

Of course, the big shame of it all is that we never get to see Werbellia get naked, and who knows if we’ll even get another chance.  The sales for this series declined with every season, and though I can’t speak for the sales of the OVA, it’s impossible to not notice the steep decline in production values with each release.  Not a good sign.

It always bummed me out that the Nakaimo anime ended without ever showing Mana’s boobs despite every other girl showing theirs (she does show the goods once or twice in the manga).  For Queen’s Blade, I’d have a similar feeling of disappointment if they pulled the plug on this franchise before giving the smokin’ hot Werbellia her fair due.  Please make it happen, ecchi gods.
