Think of this OVA continuation as: Here are six OVAs detailing how all the characters have gone about in their journeys after the previous season. That is what we are dealing with in a nutshell. That is not to say this is a bad thing necessarily. But to put it out in just six episodes seems a bit fruitless and disappointing going into this. It is hard to evaluate this OVA without going over each episode so that is what I will be doing through the remainder of this review. The first episode focuses on our dear sisterlove complex between Leina and Elina. Before this episode I was never a huge fan of Elinas constant yuri/incest advances on Leina. Even Elinas smoking body always came across as more annoying than sexy. Yet this episode expands on their relationship from when they were kids and gives us a sympathetic look at why Elina often clings to her sister. It made me appreciate the character more than I originally did before which is a big plus to this episode. 1000https://gonzonyan.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/vlcsnap2019032110h12m47s861.png Our elf cuties Nowa and Alleyne take up most of the 2nd OVA detailing how their relationship has grown since the last season. This was a pretty cute episode. While these two are not my favorite duo to watch in the series the writers did some nice relationshipbuilding to make them feel like a genuine teacher and student relationship. It made me respect Alleynes character more than in the previous seasons. Her reaction to Nowa being with Nyx instead of her was adorable. Now we get to my favorite duo Melona and Airi. I love it when these two are together. Their chemistry works so well with the comedy and ecchi fanservice. This story did not blow me away at all. It felt like fluff material that did not try to grow the characters in it. It was nice to see fully naked Melona and Airi at least. I thought it was nice to see Airis relations with Cattleya and her son more. I wouldve used more of that than the pointless Melpha appearances. 1000https://gonzonyan.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/vlcsnap2019032110h13m30s233.png Then we have my best girls episode. Menaces kingdom of Amara is finally restored sort of. Airi and Melona must come over to make her come back to the Swamp Witch and drink lots of wine between tiddies. What more could you ask for? This is my favorite of the bunch. I always love to see these three together. I almost wish there was an entire season dedicated to these three going on in adventures now that I think about it. I will admit Ymirs participation felt a bit random but I did not dislike her as much as I did previously for what it was worth. The fight scene between Menace Melona and Airi was probably one of the best in the series. Nanael has her episode yay I have always loved Nanaels comic relief in the series and this OVA episode proves that it is good. She grows bored of being part of the good angel club and wants to get out of it to start her harem. Her interactions with Airi and Melona are pretty funny and entertaining to see. Her pantsu shots are an absolute delight to see whenever it pops up out of nowhere. 1000https://gonzonyan.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/vlcsnap2019032110h16m09s708.png Our last OVA ended off at a low point. Yeah if it was not obvious already I am not a fan of Tomoe as a character. I know plenty of fans like her but to me without Shizuka next to her she sticks out like a sore thumb. Ironically they bring back Shizuka just for her fans to have something to cheer for. That is not to say I think this is a bad episode far from it. It is decent but out of all of the episodes in this season this one is the episode I would go back to the least. There is some interesting dramatic tension between Tomoe and Aldra but nothing to write home about. So this OVA season was a good one to go out on. Sure if it were longer and expanded some of the stories it would have felt like a better conclusion to this arc of Queens Blade. I would regard a couple of the episodes in it as the best in the entire series while the others are good for just being decent fun. This is something that no fan should miss if that should be something to be reminded of. Grade: B
