Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 1-e

First of all, I'd like to remind you all that we're one month away from QB's next anniversary~, so if you got some pics of QB swag you'd like me to feature, you're still in time to send them my way, it's no fun if it's always the same guys :3

Regarding the previous poll about how Cattleya carries her huge sword, "don´t be silly, she just keeps them" and "hyperspace/cleavagespace" won with 16v-42% and 12v-31%. Then, there was "they vanish when off-screen" and "Rana keeps them" with 5v-13% and 4-10%, and lastly "they´re foldable" with 1v-2%.
Hm, well, I mean, "cleavagespace" isn´t something you´d disregard considering her... ehem, attributes, but I really thought the "foldable" option would seem more alluring than this, oh noes!

Next poll, we do a redux of the swamp trio poll! Obviously, it´s not because we´ve long run out of ideas for polls, whatever made you thiiiiiink that :3

And here we finish chapter 1! Is it time for the mysteries to be solved? Or maybe there's more in store...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 1-d

Regarding Nanael's situation with the Head Angel poll, "slightly vexed" and "annoyed" won with 9v-29%, followed by "this is it, to Hades with you" with 7v-22%. After that, there was "losing patience" and "never lose hope" with 5v-16% and 1v-3%.
Hm, there's something to be said for an angel's divine patience, isn't there...? For Nanael's sake too, lol.

Now next poll, let's get funky with Catt's crazy sword?

And for the next story bit, Airi seeks more info, and the sleeping beauty awakens...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 1-c

A propos of nothing in particular, after being in Ireland for more than a year, I'm going back to Spain next week, wish me luck~

On the Living Weapons poll, Setra won 29v-82% to Funikura 6v-17%!
Not much of a surprise here, our Setra buddy is way more manageable than the alternative, isn't he just? :3

Poll coming up next is, a rare Head Angel one!

And one more bit of the story! While Fio is frolicking around with Leina, Airi finds her captive gone...? (plus, pic!)

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 1-b

For the Bowsette poll, "loved it!" won with 27v-42%, followed by "like it" and "neutral to it" with 12v-18% and 10v-15%. After that, there was a tie between "enjoyed it but fed up" and "what's a Bowsette?" at 6v-9%, then last was "hated it!" with 3v-4%.
Hmm, interesting little phenomenon it was (and still hasn't ended), I wonder what it'll end up turning into...?

And next poll, Living Weapons time?

So, it's time for Leina and Fio to meet! What's gonna happen? All bets are off!

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 1-a

For the poll about opinions on Unlimited OVA 1, "could have been better" won with 10v-28%, followed by "alright" with 8v-22%. After that, there was a tie between "great!" and "pretty good!" with 6v-17%, and last was "awful" with 5v-14%.
Hm, I wasn't much of a fan of the OVA either, even though the story was the closest we've seen to canon in an anime, it was a bit of a poor-man version, imho.

Next poll, we know you might not come here for the latest meme, buuut...

And after the introduction, let's start the story proper! ...Oh, what do we have here, a grown-up man with like a lot of dialogue, and who doesn't need Leina's help, in our Queen's Blade? Lol, the author sure had some progressive ideas for the time :3

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 0-b

Regarding the Holy Instruments poll, Laila's wings won with 28v-63%, followed by Sigui's burning mace with 10v-22%, and last was Laila's cannon with 6v-13%.
Heh, I somehow knew the wings were gonna win. Independent flight is too much of a temptation, ain't it~

And next poll, now that some time has passed since Unlimited OVA 1's release, did ya fellas got around to watching it?

So, here he finish the SOU prologue! Time to introduce our new hero(ine?), plus finish the Tomoe vs Airi fight! Also, Eiwa pics; we've only just begun! :3

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 0-a

Regarding the "Sansuma" mobile collaboration thingie poll, "longer projects are more worthwile" won with 18v-58%, followed by "mix of quick collabs and longer projects!" with 12v-38%, and then "quick collabs give us something to munch on!" with 1v-3%.
Hm, I wonder just how popular this very collaboration was... and why it wasn't an Unlimited thing, instead of classic...

Now next poll, how about those funky holy instrument thingies Rebellion introduced?


...So, the prophecies long forgotten have come true!!
I'll bet you guys weren't expecting this when I mentioned we were preparing new stuff last month~

But yup, here's the beginning of the very QB novel in the flesh! In the end we never found a proofreader to help us with it, so I had to learn the ropes enough to prove to my partner that I could pull off most of it myself :3

If you've read a bit of the Unlimited stuff, you might recognize the style, though this story is notably more focused, the battles pleasantly longer, it has a bit more of worldbuilding, plus it features our so-called new hero Fio. How does he compare with Doormat Michel...? We'll let ya be the judges~!

And without further adeu, at long last, enjoy! :3
