Queen’s Blade ep 1

Gets points for trying,
But lacks the right equipment
For that pee attack.

Reina learns from this
By the start of season two
She is housebroken

I’m glad to hear that
She makes continence progress,
I worried ‘bout rust.

(‘twixt lactic acid,
And the lesbian siscon,
How did I miss this?)

Queen’s Blade ep 2

Her breasts are bigger
Than most of those poor orphans:
Could’ve skipped a meal.

There is nothing wrong
With making orphans diet
It builds character

See what you’re saying,
When you get right down to it
They’re growing girls, too.

Queen’s Blade ep 3

That enormous bribe
Ate her whole panty budget:
Oiled snake remedy.

Wearing a swimsuit
Is great for desert travel
Who needs H-2-O?

Like the bactrian,
The girls are superior
To dromedarys.

Queen’s Blade ep 4

Illegal dumping
Hurts everyone in the end:
See Cabin Fever.

Reina’s talent for
Falling off cliffs is unmatched
Gravity’s a bitch

Should have co-applied
When her boobs put in for their
Physics exemption.

Queen’s Blade ep 5

Forced her to resort
To magic for recruitment:
No re-lo package.

Think that she inspired
The “walks on three legs” bit of
The Sphinx’s Riddle.

Queen’s Blade ep 6

You know she wanted
To ask Alleyne if those leaves
Were self-adhesive.

Leaves make cheap undies
Money doesn’t grow on trees
Luckily, leaves do

Does great job raising
Environment awareness,
Among other things.

Makes just about anyone
Want to eat more leaves.

Queen’s Blade ep 7

Glad the Swamp Witch cut
Frivolous budget items
Like towel service.

Also,

I will die laughing
If her problem’s solution
Involves swallowing.

The Swamp Witch never
Saw the South Park episode
about Towelie

T. read your review
And saw worst character slot
Was already filled.

Queen’s Blade ep 8

Her bosom ample,
But just where was she hiding
That large piece of wood?

gravatar

Good question.

Posted by Baka-Raptor on 02/02 at 12:37 PM

‘Her bosom ample’ is a nice 5 syllable line you can put into any Queens Blade review

Posted by Scamp on 02/02 at 06:21 PM 
gravatar

@Baka-Raptor - I still haven’t figured it out. I mean, it was almost as big as she was. Just not as curvy.

she had wood 

@Scamp - “Ample” fails miserably in the next episode. If only I could fit “veritable cornucopia” on one line….

Queen’s Blade ep 9

She wants him kept safe
But he might not see next week, 
Crushed beneath her chest.

He can train in the mountains

Queen’s Blade ep 10

Breakfast promotion:
Sweet double stack with hot buns
And maple syrup.

Zero to hero
Like many anime tropes
Is rather sappy

Though sappy, was glad
They could work out past issues
And stick together.

Queen’s Blade ep 11

Learned a hard lesson
About proper disposal:
No more litter fines.

gravatar

Reina versus cliffs
A one-sided rivalry
Thus far, ‘O’ and two

If you count bridges
And castle walls from flashbacks
She’s now ‘O’ and four

Posted by Baka-Raptor on 02/05 at 10:26 AM

Given her talent
For swiftly plunging, you’d think
She would carry rope.

Of course, Echidna
Would just use it to tie her…
That’s two good reasons.

Queen’s Blade ep 12

Looked like another
Clash of the Titans homage…
In Melpha’s outfit.

Haven’t seen Titans
So I’ll take your word for it
Oh wait, those Titans…

‘Eighty One classic:
Queen’s Blade improved on it by
Removing chest hair.

The giant snake fight 
With stony resolution
Was lifted wholesale:

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 1

I have always liked
Echidna’s M.O.: grope first,
Ask questions later.

The groping felt great
After the one-fourth year wait
For the new season

One fringe benefit
Of missing the early boat:
No watching delay.

Folks probably think
I’m merely panning this show;
I really like it.

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 2

After that broadcast
Church membership will go up.
Certain parts, at least.

Sacred or Porno?

Straddles the line ‘twixt
Pious and profane like it
Was a gatefold crease.

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 3

Lost her first place prize
On a tenta-cality:
Consolation loaf.

Nyx wished for courage and got
A strange substitute

Odd, yes, but she got
What she wanted in the end.
And other places.

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 4

The real mystery:
Why was Reina so disturbed
By Nowa’s panties?

If she’d worn nothing
censorship pixels would give
better coverage

Posted by Baka-Raptor on 02/18 at 05:09 PM

Was she lamenting:
The loss of Nowa’s freedom?
Or curbed peeping op?

Dwarf infomercial
Canceled for slap chop rerun:
Boring tuna canned.

Brittle steel shattered
By frozen spouse sucker punch:
Penalty baggage.

Atlas would approve
Of shocking win over that
Sand-kicking bully.

Wondered if she’d say
“You want some knuckles, sand witch?”
Maybe in the dub.

To replace Japanese ones
“meido no meido”

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 7

She put up a fight,
But couldn’t go the distance:
Night training needed.

...

Mid-battle sausage
Reveals Elina’s weakness:
Low blood sugar woes.

Should have employed the
Let’s-run-an-inn-and-get-old-
together technique.

Are figures like cards?
Does death increase their value?
Should’ve invested.

Would trade most of the others
To get that one back.

Exhausted by a

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 9

If thief gig goes sour,
She has a real bright future
In demolitions.

Risty lost two times
To Claudette in season one
Would she lose again?

The third time’s a charm
Unless you count that part when
Risty got revived

Fight until one can’t
Continue, but she had a
Quarter on the glass….

It was a bit cheap,
Unless you’re talking about
Castle repair bill.

Bamboo deforestation:

Episode ten was
subbed a week before ep nine
Resisted spoilers

I’ll watch anything
Long as it’s entertaining,
This one’s more than most…

Except for season
two episode seven, I
want my ninja back.

Seriously though,
It pitched the Riker and went
Full Billy Gibbons.

... okay, the other
Stuff I watch is because I’m
a masochist. /Bund

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 11

Safe word or gesture
Should have been agreed upon
Before rough foreplay.

Money is often
symbolic of greed, but here
friendship, or yuri

Yuri, like the coin,
A rigged game: no matter who
lands on top, it’s win.

Queen’s Blade S2 ep 12

Her glowing feelings
Surmounting all obstacles:
Precious staff rescue.

...

Don’t know why there’s a
question of “his” true gender:
No secret cleaver.

...

If she could get them
To vibrate in unison
That would be something.

...

Eye rolling ending
Shaved a bit of the beard-age;
Still on to-buy list.

...

Thanks to the ‘Raptor,
For highlighting watching lack
And badass comments.

gravatar

Followed my advice
She got to a nunnery
Cleavers not allowed

Nyx learned to stand tall
Then fell to Stockholm Syndrome
Touching regression

Nanael’s endless
supply of holy milk must
come from holy cows

A cheesy ending
would have been better if it
did not end at all

Posted by Baka-Raptor on 02/18 at 04:59 PM 
gravatar

Good thing that the same
Does not apply to cleavage,
They’d both be homeless.

Her waitress wages
Wouldn’t cover damages:
Needs walking support.

Would have made a crack
About heavenly goat milk,
But I shouldn’t kid. 

Unresolved plot lines
There are more than a handful:
Hope for season three?
