Queen’s Blade Anime Announced

The advertising “obi” wrappers on the two latest volumes of Hobby Japan’s popular series of Queen’s Blade role playing game books reveal plans for a Queen’s Blade anime television series. Hobby Japan launched its line of Queen’s Blade illustrated role playing game books in 2005 as a spin-off from the successful and long running Lost Worlds RPG book series that debuted in 1983. The Japanese exclusive Queen’s Blade game book series has spawned a host of merchandizing including figures, manga, drama CDs, novels, fan created doujinshi, and more.

Saw this one coming from a mile away. I’m a bit disappointed, though, that it’s not the 2007 spin-off series “Queen’s Gate” that includes guest characters like Nijihara Ink from Moetan and Nitro+ girls.
