She has worked on a number of ero anime (hentai anime) titles, such as La Blue Girl, Immoral Sisters, Twin Angels and Words Worth, as well as Elfen Lied, Ikkitousen, I''s and Kite.

He is the perfect man for the job!

OMG

That's why I love far asian languages, they are full of traps

Then again the drawings of Kore ga Watashi no Goshujin-sama were also from a woman.

But still it rather rare and quite interesting ... now I begin to wander about her partneship preferences

One reason to love her. She fullfils mens desires. lol

also some trivia Hininden -Gauss- Oboroduki no shoh , it was never finished and has low sales. Too bad I thought it was a pretty good H anime.

Also a fact Nia from TTGL looks similar to one of the girls there.

The whole cast is like the wet dream of Robert E. Howard. You have pretty much every female stereotypes of the Sword & Sorcery genre. + a miko, an angel and a maid.

[Keroko]

Considering the flurry of posts hoping for fanservice and hentai, I'm probably lonely in my opinion, but I'm really hoping for some nicely choreographed and animated fights. It's not often that you see a shield-sword fighter in anime.

Well, this anime comes from a fighting game whose objectives is to strip your opponent. I do like to see highly choreographed stripping scenes though lol

You are not the only one mate.

If the swordsmanship stinks, this will be yet another throw in the trash after one-viewing panty-fighter.

But, considering the smashing job that this studio did with the combat sequences of Dragon Destiny and Great Guardians we can reasonably expect well-arranged bone-crunching action sequences from this series.

And I'm quite surprised that Hirano Aya, now on the cusp of becoming fully respectable after Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star is doing such an outrageously slutty role like Nanaelle so early in her career. Even Kawasumi Ayako and Noto Mamiko have had TEN years of respectable roles before doing risque characters. Sure, 9 out of 10 voice actresses have (annonymously) performed for Hentai Games-and-anime early in their careers, but to publicly do so and acknowledging your name in it (like the cast of School Days) can potentially kill you career dead in the waters. This is a dangerous gamble on Aya's behalf, especially with the growing number of fans angrily and increasingly impatiently tapping their feet for a yet-to-materialize Haruhi Season 2.

You really think fans care all that much about seiyuu plaing "risque characters"? I find that a bit hard to believe, to be honest. It's akin to me getting pissed off at Tanaka Rie for not playing villains more often...it's just silly no matter how big of a seiyuu fan one happens to be. Of course, the world is full with all kinds of idiotic fans but I doubt they are so many that to have an impact on Hirano Aya's career by denouncing her for voicing types of characters they dislke. Not to mention that she has already voiced a huge boobed evil character in Dragonaut.

Was Howard into maids though?

Though there are exceptions, the most recent and famous example would be poor Miyamura Yuko of Neon Genesis Evangelion, giving voice to Asuka. That was her breakout role in 1995, and she was on the cusp of getting more popular roles in the late 1990's with Outlaw Star when some jerkoff from the press released publically that she was an actress in a porno movie not too long before playing Asuka.

Miyamura Yuko probably thanks her lucky-stars she has played Asuka in the first place, because outside Evangelion, her career came to a grinding, screeching halt. Only the almost annual creation of Evangelion Video games over the next decade allowed Asuka, and therefore her public career as a Seiyuu, to continue.

Even to this day, her only notable role besides Asuka was Alyssa Sears of Mai Hime, SIX years after Outlaw Star. Thanks to this fiasco, there is an unspoken code nowadays amongst voice actors that if they ever want to earn extra hentai-cash on the sides, they better damn well take a stage name that is exclusively different from their real ones.

Sure the fans may not care, but media and moral group pressures (surprisingly strong in Japan) will still keep shoving their noses into businesses that do not concern them and rain on everone's damned parade.

Just a while ago Hirano Aya was a part time bikini idol until she wore them upside down.

Haruka Tomatsu debut as Lala, as an ecchi harem female lead, I'm sure she was quite risque lol

[KiNA]

But then she became an object of worshipping as Nagi , so I'm sure Haruka will do fine like Aya ^^

Those are the people that don't realize that seiyuu are actually broke! By that I mean that they don't get paid much at all. I've read that is USD it's about $15-$25 per episode and only veterans get paid more than that. This is the reason a lot of seiyuu are also singers. The CDs bring in lots more money to pay the bills and unfortunatly, for the young new seiyuu, so does porn. I don't mean hentai either, I mean actual porn. There have been LOTS of popular seiyuu that have been in that area before becoming full-time seiyuu.

As for Yuko Miyamura, her career really slowed down after she came down with some illness and then became pregnant. Maybe after the new EVA movie she'll have another popularity bursts.

You were talking about Queen's Blade, not actual hentai, though.

Anyway, one'd think these moral guardians would show a bit of effort and uncover who hides behind the hentai pseudonyms if they were outraged so much by mainstream seiyuu doing hentai, it shouldn't be that hard, should it? But maybe as most media watchdogs, the Japanese ones also have severe brain deffincies...

Really? All the more credit to them, then.

[kenjiharima]

This will REALLY NEED AN H-VERSION after it finishes airing.

If not...Oh well...But not unless the DVD is H enough...

You really gotta wonder what will be the main plot here. Just a tournament and some of the alluring fetish fanservice? There's gotta be more...MORE ECCHI IN THE DVD versions.

[kramerica]

My first guess is that it would follow Leina's adventures as she tries to win Queen's Blade. Might sort of have a "enemy of the week" as it would fit the premise of the game. I can't tell how much comedy would be in this, as it looks serious, then shows shots of that one girl who finds herself with her clothes vanishing and shocked :P

[kenjiharima]

Well I guess it'll probably follow a the few short stories in the game book. But I dunno about Menace since her BOOK is quite naughtier than the others. I am praying that they do it the Ikkitousen way. Vanishing dresses, nipples, butt cracks, panty shots, closeups, yuri and others to ecchi to name.
