List of The Qwaser of Stigmata episodes

The Qwaser of Stigmata is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same name written by Hiroyuki Yoshino and illustrated by Kenetsu Satō. Produced by Hoods Entertainment and directed by Hiraku Kaneko, the series was broadcast on the Mainichi Broadcasting System on January 10 to June 20, 2010, with a second season airing from April 12 to June 28, 2011. The Qwaser of Stigmata hydroplanes across the common magical girl concept shown in series such as Sailor Moon and My-Hime while availing acts of sexual perversion and violence that includes torsos being forcibly torn asunder along with heavy use of fanservice that has led to the TV broadcast of the episodes having been censored earlier. The raw uncensored "Director's Cut" version of the anime is available only by webcast or DVD/Blu-ray. The word master series is called "Quantum Meruit Quorum".

The first season adapts the first seven volumes of the manga over 20 episodes, with the last four episodes forming an original, self-contained story arc. Some episodes containing inappropriate previews have them replaced by a short recap episode in the TV version.

As of July 2010, four volumes have been released in Japan on DVD and Blu-ray by Victor Entertainment, based on director's cut version, but with reemed images and remixed audio along with new cuts. The first volume was released on April 21, 2010. The eight and last volume will be released on November 24, 2010. Each volume contains three episodes, as well as two pictures dramas per volume. The first series of them is Bugger Me! Secret of The Qwaser of Stigmata (ドキッ! 聖痕のクェイサー秘, Doki! Seikon no Kueisā no Himitsu) featuring the different female main character per volume. The second of them is Let's play with Katja (カーチャ様と遊ぼう, Kācha-sama to asobou) featuring Katja.

Sentai Filmworks licensed both seasons and the OVA for digital distribution and home video release in North America, releasing English subtitled DVD sets in 2012 and 2013.[1] All episodes except for the OVA are available online in North America from the Anime Network streaming site.[2]
