Queen's Blade Profile & Backstory: Shizuka

For the spending at gachas poll, "Never" won with 25v-57%, then "Sporadically" with 11v-25%, after that "Sometimes" with 5v-11%, and last "Often", with 3v-7%. Hm, no surprises here, and these so-called uncertain times sure don't help...

Next poll, we continue the weapons poll, for like some reason! You might think this was just to feature waifu once again, but I was misremembering Goldie having a mace, so I had to look for a replacement!

Now, who do we have here? What news does our good ol' Shizuka have in store for us?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Grimoire: Snow White

For the poll about the Grimoire OVA 1, 4 stars won with 14v-30%, followed closely by a tie of 3 stars and "never saw it" with 10v-21%, then 5 stars with 8v-17%, and lastly 2 stars and 1 stars tied with 2v-4%. Gotta agree with "4 stars" there, myself :3 

Next poll, just take a look below and let us know what you think~!

Because, surprise intermission, here's our new Eiwa girl, translated for your eyes only!

Queen's Blade Backstories: Despina & Dizzy

In the previous poll about fighting games and QB, "play once in a while" won with 35v-43%, then it was "play regularly" with 21v-26%. In the middle, "QB's suited for another genre" got 9v-11%, and "play at advanced level" got 8v-10%. Lastly, "rather watch it played" and "don't play but it's a good idea" got 5v-6% and 2v-2% respectively.
Lol, my always being a fan of fighting games made me add all sorts of funky things to the QBB game, right~

This week's poll features our eternal main char (soon to appear along our Alicia, too): we all more or less know Leina's story, but what do you think her deal is anyways?

Aand, here's the story behind our newest antagonist, the manipulative piper, plus our GG representative as a bonus.

Enjoy!

Despina

Queen's Blade Backstories: Seiten

Bip-bop, double post! Don't let it be said that we don't try to please everyone :p

So here's our newest Grimoire, and the so-called "villain." We'll take one week off to regain our stamina after VQ3, then we'll resume the Spiral Chaos vids, starting with Kotone-chan. That doesn't mean we won't post anything next week tho? :)

Enjoy!

Seiten

Queen's Blade Backstories: Kaguya and Iroha

First of all, the new Grimoire was just announced, so feast your eyes on Seiten, the Demon Monkey Necromancer by doujin artist and QB newcomer Aoi Nagisa... Proper profile coming soon!

(Oh, and apparently the poll's been reset momentarily or something...? that's kinda awful, I hope it's back to normal soon :p)

And what brings us today is, the backstory from Kaguya, plus Iroha's for added effect. We were kinda expecting Kaguya to have Grimoire Conversations already, maybe Seiten up there will give us the pleasure?

Enjoy!

Kaguya

Queen's Blade Backstories & Conversations: Werbellia

Well, with the Alice poll, QB to GQ was the most (41 votes, 53%), then it was the Spiral Chaos games (23 votes, 29%), then crossovers (9 v, 11 %). Artworks and MMD only got 3v (3%) and 1 v (1%) respectively, with the novels none. What, then the novels aren't that popular after all? Oh, but that just won't do. So, on another note (that might be quite related), in a few days we'll be starting a new project that could be huge... but we need a proofreader to handle it, as we kinda got enough on our plate right now. That's why, if your english is quite acceptable and you have some free time, start thinking it over, ok~?

About the new poll, we got one kinda centered on the Witch this time (with our new friends in there, to boot), plenty of options once again!

And finally, this is the first time we have this kind of double feature on just one character, so:

Enjoy!

Werbellia

Queen's Blade Backstories: Gretel and Mai Shiranui

Update (02/28): The Witch was just previewed, translated the important bits here!

First, the official QB page has a teaser of the Witch OVA, yay~!

And, you might have noticed we just got a poll now? Precisely on the subject of these backstories, my partner Final Agent wanted to gauge how you guys would feel about changing the usual last sentence in these, so do vote away please~! (or feel free to comment too?)

So, here's the backstory of the newest Grimoire, plus a certain Crimson Ninja as a bonus!

Enjoy!

Gretel

Spiral Chaos Freetalks: Dizzy (2 of 2) + Alice's Extra Backstory

Here's part 2 of Dizzy's exchanges with Jean, kissy kissy time~! Next, Iroha!

Enjoy!

And a bonus, courtesy of our new pal Gabriel who is already helping a lot with freetalks and kiss scenes, an extra backstory from an obscure QG artbook.

Enjoy! (x2)

Queen's Blade Backstories: Goldie and Ink

(Edit: Corrected the last line of Ink's, should have guessed...)

Another month passed, the HJ magazine didn't really bring any QB news, and I'd be kinda miffed... if they hadn't left us with the oddity that is a new Queen's Gate figure, and a Samurai Girls' D'Artagnan's at that. Oh well, let's hope the official site gives us something newsworthy soon...

So meanwhile, here are the prologues of the young lady with an unexpectedly wild speech, and the moe english teacher! Enjoy!

Goldie

Queen's Blade Backstories: Tiina and Alice

Unfortunately, no real news from this month's HJ magazine (we're crossing our fingers for the WF 2013 in a few days), but... Grimoire time! If you thought I had forgotten about the lovely mermaid, you literally have another thing coming!

Also threw in Alice to close the deal, it's about time she regained some of the spotlight...

Enjoy!

Tiina

Queen's Blade Backstories: Risty and Leina

Did you guys see Matsuryu posting a few finished drafts of the witch? I hope the HJ magazine does announce something this month, we'll see in the next days...

In any case, the last backstories (for now) take us to the very first books, how did the QB mythos start...?

Enjoy!

Risty

 

Queen's Blade Backstories: Tomoe, Nowa and Irma

The next VQ2 is coming soon, so in the meantime, here's the last triplet with the remaining char released in English. It's a pity Irma doesn't really get much love, though...

Enjoy!

Tomoe

Queen's Blade Backstories: Menace and Echidna

So this month's HJ magazine only had info about the next figures (Alleyne, Irma and Cattleya), boo :p

But anyways, here's a double dose of F.S., and the first time one of his QB girls was released in 6th place.

Enjoy!


Menace

Queen's Blade Backstories: Nanael, Airi and Elina

More backstory stuff, there's another english one so it's 3 once again, and quite the greedy trio...

Enjoy!

Nanael

Queen's Blade Backstories: Nyx and Cattleya

Here you go, a couple days in advance, in time to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Enjoy!

Nyx

Queen's Blade Backstories: Zara and Alicia

Before we begin, in case you missed it, our buddy Charles made this proto-guide for the first QB books, if you like the game, be sure to let us know what you think!

And seeing as Alicia was scanned just in time, shall we start unraveling Grimoire's mysteries?

Enjoy!

Zara

Queen's Blade Backstories: Melona, Claudette and Melpha

I guess you guys saw Zara scanned already? That was fast, and the funny thing is that Alicia is supposedly outranking her more or less in a 6 to 1 ratio (at least according to Amazon's bestsellers).

But back to original QB again, there's another English one mixed in here so it's 3 again.

Enjoy!

Melona

Queen's Blade Backstories: Original Aldra, Alleyne and Ymir

Moving forward, we land back into original Queen's Blade territory.
Since I'm technically cheating by using one of the english versions, you get 3 of these instead.
And I guess using the "majestic plural" must be a custom among Queen's Blade queens, since Claudette would use it later too.

Enjoy!

Aldra

Queen's Blade Backstories: Mirim and Annelotte

As a bonus, I bring you today the drama CD from Menace's biography. It's still Anarista's only appearance to this day, so give it a listen whenever you can (Mirrors/Sendspace):

And finishing up the Rebellion girls until the delayed witch comes out, here are more backstories. Annelotte's is one line away from being the actual Rebellion prologue, but still...

Enjoy!

Mirim

Queen's Blade: An Angel's Scolding + Backstories: Tarnyang & Sainyang and Yuit & Vante

(10-19 Update: Alicia and Zara's books are now up for preorder, go Grimoire go!)

Guess who found a second-hand copy of a tiny game long sold out everywhere?

Unlike the Tomoe and Risty game from a while ago, this one is fully-voiced, and you even have the translation of all the lines in its QB Wikia page, so feel free to tease the cheeky angel here: Mirrors/Sendspace

As for the backstories, both couples have trouble with invaders, what will they do?

Enjoy!

Tarnyang & Sainyang
