This is a review of the OVA specials included with the "Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin" (Queen's Blade: Rurou no Senshi) Blu-ray release by Media Blasters in 2011. These were viewed with English sub-titles. The OVAs included with "Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin" fall into the category of fantasy action adventure with a significant degree of comedy, ecchi content and fan service. Parental Advisory: The age rating on the Blu-ray packaging is listed as "16 AND OLDER" while some other sites including this one list it at 17+. Each OVA episode features female topless nudity. There is some minor violence, but it is mostlycartoon style with no significant harm.

Story: 3/10
There are 6 OVAs. Each is a short stand-alone episode approximately 3 minutes in duration. The setting is altered, with each of the characters now attending school instead of being involved in the Queen's Blade tournament. Considering that the "Queen's Blade" series already includes a significant amount of ecchi content, it seems like the OVAs push the envelope even further, and feature even more of it in a limited time. Unfortunately, between the short duration and heavy focus on fan service, there is little time devoted to any sort of a story line, or character development. The OVAs have some comedic moments, albeit juvenile humor at times.

Characters: 8/10
The "Queens Blade" characters are among some of the most strikingly beautiful women to appear in anime, and the OVA generally upholds the artistic quality used in the series. Most of the characters are depicted in schoolgirl outfits during these OVA episodes. These outfits stray from the original character designs, but they are similar in spirit.

Only a few characters are included in the first few OVAs, with the villains Airi, Melona and Menace being featured in multiple episodes. The final OVA includes most of the cast as well as some additional characters that aren't introduced yet in the main series.

Art / Animation: 6/10
The overall visual quality of the OVAs is satisfactory. The character art is similar to the original series, but the animation isn't as good.

Sound / Voice: 6/10
The music and sounds effects were fine. I can't judge the Japanese voice work, but they seemed ok. There was no English dub included.

Enjoyment: 6/10
The OVAs are essentially comedic fan service episodes featuring the Queen's Blade characters. When viewed from that perspective, they are enjoyable diversions. Anyone expecting more will be disappointed. Their short duration plays in their favor, as it allows them to exploit their ecchi content for laughs without allowing them to push the envelope too far.

Final verdict: 6/10
The OVAs are a welcome inclusion on the blu-ray edition of "Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin". They depict the characters in an alternate setting and include some humorous situations. However, not all viewers may appreciate the large amounts of ecchi content they feature in their short run times. Fans of the Queen's Blade characters will likely appreciate these the most.
