Queen's Blade 2006 Spring Designs: Tomoe (1)

For the "Winter Devil/Devil of Winter" poll, the former won with 33v-57% versus 24v-42%.
Kind of a close call, but oh well, the audience hath spoken, so it shall be.

And next poll, since there are no apparent QB news this month, Cindy gets 2 polls in a row? How likely do you guys think is that she's the last Grimoire?

Now, it's Tomoe's turn. For some reason, this book really gets into the details of each move, so hey, more fun for us!
(You might also have noticed that we skipped some obvious chars like Leina or Nowa, unfortunately those have tiny doodles in 'em that we aren't able to translate :p)

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade 2005 Winter Designs: Irma (2)

First of all, like one of our buddies pointed out just the other day, Waku already subbed OVA 2, yay ♪

For the poll about preferred audio CDs, "all of the above" won with 15v-38%, followed by "not a huge fan of audio CDs" with 10v-25%, then it was "storybook style" and comedic style" with 6v-15% and 5v-12%, and lastly "more serious-natured" with 3v-7%.
Hm, so 1 out of 4 of our readers don't like audio CDs much...? Weird, I thought they'd be better received than most over media, being voiced and all... :p

Now, next poll, maybe my partner and I are kinda petty-minded individuals, so since we can't agree on things, which of these you'd prefer for Cinderella?

And here we finish with Irma's stuff!

Enjoy!

Next: Tomoe!

Queen's Blade 2005 Winter Designs: Irma (1)

For the OVA 2 watching poll, both "someday will, no rush" and "definitely will!" won with 12v-29% , followed by "already saw it!" with 11v-26%, then it was "it was ripped so soon!?" with 4v-9%, then another tie at last place with "no thanks" and "won't watch either OVA" at 1v-2%.
Wasn't too bad, was it? Bit light on Kaguya tho~

So, next poll... oh look, how's them QB CD flavors?

And, here we begin with details about my Irma~

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade 2005 Winter Designs: Risty (2)

In case you didn't hear, OVA 2 was already ripped here or here... and well, "sister series" 7 Deadly Sins started doing a quasi-animated version of their confessions.

For the released Cindy poll, "can't wait to see her" won with 38v-62%, followed by "already preordered her" with 11v-18%, followed by "so-so", "meh" and "who" with 6v-9%, 4v-6% and 2-3% respectively.
Go, Grimoire, go~!

Now next poll, clearly OVA 2-themed.

And here we finish Risty's sketches comments thingie!

Enjoy!

Next: Irma!

Queen's Blade 2005 Winter Designs: Risty (1)

Cindy's ouutt! :D

So about Yuit & Vante's quiz, "Yuit = minielf & Vante = robomaid" won with 72v-91%, "no clue" trailed way behind with 6v-7%, while "Yuit = robomaid & Vante = minielf " got 1v-1%. 

Heh, no problems with that one I see, it was just the pair of pseudo-chinese twins who were problematic.

Now next poll, the aforementioned Cinderella was released, how's she looking?

And here we begin a new thingie. Turns out a number of "Queen's Blade Designs" extra books have been released yearly (especially in the beginning) with a few sketches of each char's pages, commenting the poses and stuff. So without further ado, here's a bit of Risty's!

Enjoy!

Cinderella + OVA 2 reviewed!

So it's finally out~

Our very lucky buddy from Japan posted some pics of the released Cindy book, and the girl indeed has a blizzard attack, plus the moves we heard about pumpkins and grabbing the enemy to freeze them.

Like he says, she seems to be showing a nipple in one of the pics, something we don't see everyday and which was one of the catalysts for the whole "Sainyang = boy" ruckus... :p

Plus he also posted new caps of the OVA 2, full of all kinds of action:

No apparent date for next OVA is given, but Sigui seems to be up next... are we looking at a possible Sigui vs Hansel fight? Or will it be Despina who fights Hansel to get all the beauties?

Go, Grimoire, go~!

Cinderella's extra bonuses!

This did take a while, but a few days before the gal in question is out, HJ finally revealed all the bonuses she's getting! As we mentioned in the comments just the other day, Toranoana is getting a Liliana poster and a Cindy clearfile (both reservations not available anymore), while Melonbooks is getting a Tiina poster:

And just unveiled today, HJ store is getting a cute Cindy bromide... that I think it looks like it might be one of the pages from her book?

Also, the original HJ post does showcase a few pics from the OVA2... though I get the feeling we've seen most of them in the PV already ^^U

Check back in a few days, our lucky buddy from Japan might have gotten Cindy by then!
