About Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin

If you are hunting for a new action series, Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin (Queen's Blade: Rurou no Senshi) deserves a look (2009). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: In a land where a queen is chosen every few years solely by winning a tournament, there can be no short supply of formidable opponents. For one woman warrior however, an early defeat clearly shows her that she is lacking in experience though she may be bountiful in body.

More of the story: Fortunately, while defeat could spell one's doom, her life is saved by a mighty stranger. Unfortunately for this savior, less-than-pure motives and shrewd family members mean her reward is a prison cell. Her release is prompt when the unseasoned warrior she saved, tired of her current lifestyle of nobility, sets off to prove herself.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Arms, which means the visual identity of Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.2/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2009, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
