That better be a 12-episode OVA then. We need more Queen's Blade and its all-star cast of sexy seiyuus. Well at least Melpha's returning, so that's going to be worth it. ^_^

Does Aya Hirano gradually return to the industry? Good news.

Well, they did not have problems with the storyline and funny fanservice in the original series, so here should not be any too.

I don't like the character designs as much as the first animes. Why the change?

New Queen's Blade stuff is always welcome, but what the hell are those moe character designs. They barely resemble original characters. Is that girl at the bottom right supposed to be Elina? And what they did to my thicc Melpha.
At least it's nice they are bringing characters from first QB. I am not too much of a fan of Rebellion.

Weird, the official site is still missing 4 re-designs (Alleyne, Ymir, Cattleya and Nyx). I thought they would not give us the new anime until all were announced, but then again, they didn't mention when the OVA is coming out, so there is still time.

I loathed Queen's Blade's previous installments with a passion (I don't like them at the slightest) But this seems... rather cute, actually. Not gonna check it out most likely but we'll see.

Pretty disappointing that it's only an OVA. Was hoping and expecting a full series. Maybe it'll be like a 6+ ep OVA season. Queen's Blade is GOAT ecchi.

BTW, we already have the redesings for 14 girls, but there are only 5 in the picture. Here are the remaining 9:












Oh, and P.S: the writer of the Queen's Blade novels mentioned up there is writing a story in the official site. Seeing how those characters are the same that appear in the first episode of the story, it seems that for once the anime of Queen's Blade will be an adaptation of a previous existing story.
