Queen's Blade, after being anticipated by many fans of beautiful young girls for years, is finally getting an animated version. Also translated as Queen's Blade or Queen's Sword, the animation features original scenarios based on the original settings. Queen's Blade was originally a visual battle book under a U.S. publisher, set in a fantasy world as a role-playing game. It became a super-popular work with cumulative sales reaching millions. In Japan, it was remade and re-released targeting fans of beautiful young girls. Although it should have been a very orthodox strategy combat game, the significance of its artbooks far outweighed its gameplay due to its packaging featuring voluptuous beauties. Alongside the original work came numerous derivatives such as comics, novels, drama CDs, and pillows. Especially the artbooks often ranked first in various store sales rankings. The work's characteristic is showcasing bold fighting actions of several digitally sexy female warriors. The animated version of Queen's Blade: The Wandering Warrior retains the appeal of the original combat concept and vividly portrays the charm of these female warriors within the story. Characters include a righteous beauty, a Lolita-type little devil, a cold-outside-hot-inside cute and sexy lady, and a seductive older sister, each with their own charm. The animation production is handled by the director responsible for works like "Ikki Tousen," who also worked on "Langrisser" (Sakura Wars). The character designs are by the team behind "Ikki Tousen," making it incredibly impressive. The cast includes popular voice actors like Kay澄凌子, Akeno Waki, Aya Hirano, and Atsuko Tanaka, adding to the anticipation for the series.
