Happy New Year, everyone! It's 2014! Amazing how time flies, huh?
My first post of this year is about the second season of Queen's Blade. I had meant to finish the show and review it last year because my goal was to start the year off with a clean slate, but I just didn't have the energy to make a post after watching the final three episodes late last night.
If you thought the first season of Queen's Blade (reviewed here) had a lot of fanservice then the second season will leave you with your mind blown. I think the moment that really got me was when the character Nyx was introduced alongside with her staff. You see, her staff is actually a tentacled demon lord named Funikura that bestows her with magical powers. The only downside is that Nyx's staff molests rapes her frequently with, you guessed it, the tentacles on the staff.

In the last season Risty was Leina's rival/mentor, but in this season she turns to the dark side and becomes a servant of Queen Aldra. While I rather liked the uniform change that accompanied her trip to the dark side, I honestly don't know how everyone knew it was her by just looking. She looked like a completely different person and I don't care what anybody else says. I suppose I can only chalk it up to anime logic or something.
Speaking of the queen, this season we actually see the evil Queen Aldra and the... ummm, the metallic codpiece she happens to be sporting. She can call it a "secret cleaver" all she wants, but that motherfucker is a spiky penis, damn it. I mean, doesn't it make sense to have a "Hentacle" staff and a futanari in the same series? Or is that just me?
Overall, I did like the second season to Queen's Blade. Of course, there's still the OVA series Queen's Blade: Beautiful Fighters and the third season Queen's Blade Rebellion to get to, but it wouldn't have been too bad of a thing to end it after this show. Of course, I may revise that opinion once I see the others.
One thing that really got on my nerves was the death of Shizuka, though. I can forgive the lack of Echidna in the second season (barely), but I can't forgive how contrived Shizuka's death felt. I know this story doesn't exactly have the strongest storyline around, but it always remained somewhat decent up until that point. Her dying at that point just made no sense. Anime logic at work again, I guess.

As always, if you think this show is up your alley then it probably is. It's got boobs and fighting and more boobs...
And still more boobs...
Yeah, it's got something for just about everybody. Just make sure you watch the first season before the second one and you'll be as good as gold.
