Vanquished Queens 3 Compilation

For the previous poll about Echidna's skin, "dark" beat "light" with 53v-70% to 22v-29%. Hmm, sure she's a dark (wild) elf, but I don't usually see her so dark-skinned either? Though, VQ3 sure went on at length comparing her skin with Menace's, so I guess I can't deny this one.

Then next one, umm... Xmas poll, indeed.

And making the last break for now, here's the compiled VQ3! Took us some time to release ever since the translation technically ended, but my partner wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to review it and refine some stuff, we ended up doing a myriad of minute changes, besides adding the missing prologue as expected. Normal resolution here, bigger one here.

Enjoy!

So, next week we'll start our very dramatic, new project~!
As I might have mentioned before, that'll be on the 1st! ("friday post, what is this madness?" amirite xP)

And, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, y'all!

Vanquished Queens 3 (Final)

To celebrate our finishing VQ3, I just posted one more chapter of Alice's little novel. Overboost, gooo~!

Also, about the Airi vs Iroha poll, it was a close fight but in the end the western (wraith) style maid beat the japanese (crane) maid, 59v-56% v 46v-43%, who would have thought?

So, here's the last part with the comments! Well, technically we haven't released the small prologue thingie yet, but that can wait for a while until my partner releases the compiled whole volume.

Even if we're the first ones who admit it was a bit rape-y, we hope you liked it! (hence the next poll, too)

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (7)

For last poll about Al's husbando, the "player" option won with 43v-51%, then it was a close battle between "someone else" with 21v-25% and "her imagination" with 19v-22%. I guess it's true that QB has as many characters' stories as fans exist, huh?

Then, for the poll this time, a simple, yet decisive battle of the maids...?

So last batch of stories right here! We end with my waifu, as we really wouldn't have it any other way, and it's just the comments and stuff remaining!

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (6)

On the poll of owned books, "none" won with 34v-53%, then "one" and "15+" with 10v-15% and 8v-12%, and lastly "5+" and "10+" with 7v-11% and 4v-6%. Hm, I guess I can't complain much, but I feel like we still need to improve here.

Then next poll, one of those fringe theories about Rebellion's Al, isn't it?

And one more VQ part, get it here! Only two pages this time, my partner is kinda needing another break already. If only we had more people helping out, right...? It sure isn't due to a lack of projects...
Pointless pitches aside, can you place the artist of our Leina below? If you can't, maybe you need to ask the Big Bad Wolf~?

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (5)

And a new year is upon us, what QB goodies will be on store for us?

On Seiten's poll, "looking forward to her" won with 51v-64%, then "not thrilled" with 16v-20%, and lastly an unexpected tie between "preordered her already" and "who?" with 6v-7%. Hm, so most of you like her, that's good, that's good...
...
...Wait, what do you mean "who?" The nerve of some people~

Then next poll, merchandising (book edition), did you reflect from last time?

So next part of VQ3 here! We start the year with my waifu on the vanquishing side, yeeeah~

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (4)

For the Wonderland poll, Grimoire's Alicia beat Gate's Alice with 71v-85% vs 12v-14%. Hm, I guess Alice didn't show her true roots until her novels came, right...?
So next poll, Seiten yay or nay? I wonder if our perception of her will change when the lucky japanese guys preview her in a day or two?

And now, we're resuming VQ3, download this installment here! My pal sure is on a roll with these credits... so what village has Izumi gone and made angry this time?

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, y'all!

Vanquished Queens 3 (3)

Edit(12-12): Seiten previewed at last, translated the thing here~

On the latest poll about new artists, Takeda Hiromitsu and Mogudan took it with 13v-32% and 7v-17%, then Amami Takatsume and Syun Matsuena tied up for third place with 6v-15%, and lastly a tie with Yukimi and Hanaharu Naruco with 3v-7%, then last place for Bai Asuka with 2v-5%.
Then, next poll is about armors, not that easy now, is it...?

And so, one more installment, up for grabs here. Liliana's part ahoy! Probably my favoritest VQ so far, not for the reasons you might expect though. Oh, and lookie Sainyang down there, lol.

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (2)

Last poll about Airi's true nature, "she's following orders" won with 44%-26v, then it was "kind, honest and misguided" with 37%-22v, and lastly an almost tie of "bad girl" and "polite evil" with 10%-6v and 8%-5v.
So next poll, the last preliminars of the "possible new artists", next time will be the semifinals...

And, we continue with more VQ3, feel free to grab it here! This time's the spotlight's on Yuit & Vante, who forego their ongoing VQ saga... or do they?

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 3 (1)

Edit (12-01): Replaced pics with leveled versions, less color-faded.

First, I posted one more chapter of Alice's novel! (proofreader help still wanted!)

For last poll about the anniversary, an OVA, a video game and more Grimoire won with 20v-23%, 15v-17%, 13v-15%, a double tie between more Gate and VQ at 9v-10%, then more manga, more promotional art and more concept art with 7v-8%, 5v-5% and 2v-2%. Other options included a Shizuka book (oh, don't we all), more figures and statues (don't they do a lot of those?), all of them (well, yeah), and more Cattleya (that was refreshingly specific).
Then next poll is about Airi; she won evil trio best buddy last time, so what's your take on her anyways?

And we finally start VQ3, about tiime~! My pal gave me these 3 pics as a download link too, so I might as well post it, since Blogspot's resizing is always ludicrous...
So we start with Melona's debut. But what a debut, dude! Leave it to F.S. to go well above and beyond the line of duty and get crap past the radar! (as the cool kids say) And I don't just mean... (see the end of the post for a hint)

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens: Original Collection

Edit (07-26): VQ3 book + VQ OVA 4 confirmed for September in this month's Hobby Japan Magazine!

This was supposed to be just a light intermission or some such, but our usual buddy got a bit hyped, so we ended up doing the whole thing! You might recognize it as the limited, rare 2012 QB extra thingie where we got the new Ymir VQ story, its whole name being "VQ Original Picture & Comic Collection", ain't that a mouthful:

Download it here, and enjoy!

As for the poll, in the end Rebellion won! (23v,37%) That was a bit surprising, though QB wasn't that far behind (19v, 30%) Then it was Grimoire with 12v-19% (go, Grimoire, go~), and lastly QG with 8v-12%. So next poll is, as expected from our release up here and the Vanquished Queens 3 that should be officially announced in no time, is VQ-themed!

Queen's Blade Premium Visual Book Shi

Oh, now we don't do this a lot, but our proofreader was too busy to work on videos this week... yet he managed to scan this for you all, isn't he nice?

You might remember it from the last time I talked about the booklet from VQ OVA 2, and "Shi" should mean "female", so...

Download it from here (LQ), or here (HQ), and enjoy!

Vanquished Queens Irma Extra + Rebellion Nanael profile

From the booklet of the latest VQ OVA 2, here's kind of a double-whammy for you to enjoy!

First, a new VQ story featuring not-really-popular-but-still-one-of-my-faves Irma:

And the profile of the new redesigned Rebellion char, our feisty angel Nanael:

Vanquished Queens 2 Compilation

Here you go, the volume corrected and compiled in one piece, normal resolution here, bigger one here.

Of course we're not as lazy as to just put it all together and call it a day, so you can look forward to a little surprise in there... :)

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (Complete)

First, for a bit of news, a new trailer of VQ's first OVA was released, with more bits about the chapter (in case I didn't mention it, "Musha Miko's Cruelty" and the special "Musha Miko's Breaking Method").

And so, here's the final bit of VQ2! We wanted to end with a bang, so did we make it? You be the judge!
(Will update this as soon as a downloadable HQ version of the whole thing is up)

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (6)

Only one more installment to go~!

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (5)

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (4)

So our pal Final Agent bust his ass to bring things back to the old schedule, isn't he awesome?

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (3)

So yesterday I got a nasty startup error due to graphic drivers, and though I just managed to restore it with minimum data loss, I'm skipping today's QBB update while me and my Companion Cube PC recover :p

Aaanyways, here's more VQ2 sweetness/sourness, enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (2)

First, for a bit of news, there's a site to play the card game Queen's Blade the Duel online, seems to be in pre-beta, see here for a little more info.

Also, turns out the English version of QB Perfect Visual Collection isn't selling too good, c'mon guys, show some love!

And here's the next installment of VQ2, we kinda had an unexpected delay with the editing and stuff, but that's actually what "unexpected" means.

Enjoy!

Vanquished Queens 2 (1)

So a new year is upon us! If last year was kinda the year of the illustrated stories, what's in store here for us this year? More obscure QB stuff, that's for sure!
For now, a new VQ-ish book was released at the recent C83, that announces the Witch's book for spring.

And here's the start the Vanquished Queens 2 book. Last time around, I had you guys waiting until I finished the whole thing, so I thought maybe you'd prefer if I posted the stuff as I translated it. Props to Final Agent and his team, for typesetting, proofreading, and putting up with my unreasonable demands, lol.

What humiliations will our heroines suffer this time?

Enjoy!
