I vaguely remember them saying that a new queen is elected. I could be imagining things though.Quote:

Yeah Alrda did lure her with that letter. Which is most likely forged. If Listy is her favorite to win then that must mean that she can take over her body if she wins. So you'd have a new physical queen with the mind of the old one. So that way she can stay a queen forever.
I'm still not sure but lesbian tsunderes might be even more annoying than male tsunderes...
Elves are always hotter. :)
Bummer that I won't get to see any more of Allean. She was in my favourite top 3.
In the end though, I'd rather see Echidna stay for as long as possible. Hermolestering peopleantics and backstory is much more interesting than the forest elves, I must admit.
Do any of those have that music i was asking about before?
Nope. That'll probably be on the OST. I've seen multiple people asking about that music on various sites. No one seems to know the name of it.

How much less perverted does that sound without Melona massaging/bouncing her boobs on screen?Quote:

A lot less for me, personally. It's just not the same without those hand-shaped hairs cupping those luscious breasts and that sexy bounce when she walks <3. The audio and the visuals were made for each other.Quote:

It sucks that she seems so weak out of all the QB competitors, but I still love her character.
Seriously, Season 2's kicked up a few notches. I'm no longer sure which I watch this for more, the story or the fanservice?
Airi bothering to save Rana was impressive indeed. Who knew she had it in her?
Reina and Ymir's fight was relatively boring. I thought from last season that Reina's "Dragon Tail" was really just a fairly run of the mill low thrust, not some crazy knockback ki attack.
The story is indeed rather interesting. Airi also seemed to notice precisely what Aldra had done to Listy. It seems Aldra forced Airi and Cattelya's match to be where Cattelya would lose her will because she is such a famous and overwhelming opponent. One simply swing of her giant slayer sword would annihilate most of the competitors in the tournament. Whatever it is, Airi was definitely on to it.
Looking forward to Claudette's battle next week.
I thought Dragon's Tail was portrayed as a pretty crazy (but stupid) thrust last season, but I never liked it. I don't think I've liked Reina or anything she's done up till now. Ymir's fight was indeed lackluster, but I chuckled at the rocket-gauntlets. Her mindset's screwed though, since she seems to think the weapon makes the warrior.Quote:

I guess if they're Airi's it wouldn't be too bad :o
The photography outfits looked really nice.
[SFW] Queen's Blade S2 - 07
While I'm glad they seem to have finally addressed this, it is still really annoying. She beat Elina in only a single move. It sort of feels like they've just been seeding Tomoe so far in the tournament. She wins just because she's Tomoe, disregarding whether or not she can actually fight (which apparently Shizuka and Reina saying it enough times actually makes it true). I guess that they have to tell us that Tomoe is really strong, because getting her clothes ripped to shreds only so she can win with a single technique isn't all that convincing of her true abilities.Quote:

My thoughts echo yours. Elina had the entire upper hand, and they've even proven twice that she's already attacking her enemies before swords even cross...but yet she lost because it's Tomoe. That would have been fine and all, but like you've said, it seems Tomoe's techniques simply come with Effect: Instant Kill by default.Quote:

Despite how much I like Shizuka, I find myself wishing she dies in this encounter. It would make it a whole lot more meaningful, having Tomoe carry the burden of killing another best friend - this time directly.Quote:

After what you've said, I'm less sure this would happen, especially since no one's died yet. Irma so should have suffered a broken spine and multiple ruptured organs.
Regardless of the result, I'm really glad they did what they did with Shizuka fighting Tomoe. She's been pretty much a side character all along. She's hot but never does much, and I was beginning to wonder what would become of her. If she can't shine as a combatant on her own, then I'd very much rather she be remembered as a major "stepping stone" for one of the primary warriors than someone's sidekick.
The flashback was great; in particular, the very last scene. Shizuka seeing Tomoe off was very symbolic of her journey ending, but not before providing Tomoe one last "service" so she can continue hers.
Who would have guessed there's so much quality in Queen's Blade?
I wouldn't have a problem with it if she had this amazing reputation to back it up. Cattleya does, or rather did, the same sort of one-hit instant victories with her Giant Killer. The difference is that she was very prominently known as an adventurer before she settled down. Tomoe comes from Hinomoto, to which very little is known, so her cheerleaders consist of 1) Tomoe and 2) Reina, so it isn't like word of her exploits are spread far and wide like the much more famous characters. It's really the getting tossed around first before her instant kill that bothers me. She's a samurai more or less, so single hit kills should be expected, and getting stripped/exploited is part of Queen's Blade, but you'd expect her defenses to be better.Quote:

As for Reina, once Ymir does whatever it is she is going to do to Reina's sword, she'll undoubtedly gain another power up, putting her more in line with Claudette and Listy.
I can't tell where Listy ranks on the power scale. This episode depicted her as being really strong, but the previous match last season where Claudette owned her made it look like she's just a skilled thief with a club.Quote:
