Rebellion failed, Grimoire failed, so it seems they decided to reboot the first series ruining the desings in the process.
>>152859354
Eh, the designs look okay 2bh. Where Allayne at?
Rebellion characters were nice, don't know why people hates them so much. Problem was the terrible plot and PLOT (the service in the first series had context, in Rebellion was too random)
>>152859354
>Focusing on old and busted QB instead of superior Queen's Gate
Fail.
>>152860076
Nobody gives a damn about Gate.
You must be the nobody.
>>152859354
>ruining
What?
Reina never looked better, she might be my waifu now.
>>152860117

Breaking news at 11.
>>152859354
Branwen is underated as fuck, i want my bondage slave MILF!
>>152859354
Where is Cattleya?
This is important.
>>152859354
Oh boy, I can smell the new wave of Cattleya's merch, brands and artists might rubbing their hands like happy merchants just thinking about all the potential money new Cattleya stuff will bring.
>>152859998
Kinda wish Rebellion stuck more with the novels than the anime-only thing.
>>152859354
People liked Cattleya, why does she have so little actual screentime?
Why not give her a more prominent role since she was so prolific in the figure market?
>>152860227
Have fun being a recluse, the rest will enjoy actual quality girls.
>>152859354
But will it have more Cattleya?
This is a very important question.
>>152860323
She is a fine example of a Dark Horse, her merch sells the most but the creators simply can't bring themselves to push her for more exposition.
Which is quite weird since Hobby Japan is a merch business like any other, they should know that the character that brings the most profit is the one whose screentime should be increased.
>>152860381
They would be fucking retarded not expand her role, by now it has been proven Cattleya is the golden goose, not the angel nor the elf who they love to expose but the milf who brings the cash.
>>152860381
I also must know.
>>152859354
Ditching the old designs for that trash? fuck off.
Also, dead on arrival. This kind of stuff doesn't sell a peanut in nipland anymore, figures when they betray the old fans with shitty vanilla makeovers
>>152860446
For shame.
>>152860446
Hobby Japan know their bussiness, they know the different products to the different audiences, Cattleya sells more figures than any other character, but they also know that the people who buys the BR is a different part of the marked and should be pandered in a different way
Cattleya is shit but her son is cute as fuck.
FAPPE ROYALE
>>152860654
>Cattleya sells more figures than any other
I am proud, son.
>>152860534
Nip executives ARE retarded though.
I can understand her treatment in the very first season since at the time, her design was pretty extreme and they decided to play it safe there.
Anything after that is unforgivable though, especially since Cattleya's design isn't so "weird" anymore.
You'd think they'd finally get a clue with how common thick bodytypes are now.
Where's Menace?
>>152860296
kinda wish they actually finished it
>>152860117
>Nobody gives a damn about Gate.
Shitloads of merch and Alice videos disagree.
>>152860861
Too lewd
>>152860534
This is an industry that still relies on Blu ray disc sales, that should tell you everything.
>>152860914
>Shitloads
Hahaha what? She doesn't even reach Risty levels of merch.
All those MMD videos she has for some reason on Nico Nico might have warped your perception of reality.
>>152861015
>This is an industry that still relies on Blu ray disc sales
Only retards still say that.
>>152861038
He's not exactly wrong. Alice has a lot of merchandises. At the very least 3 times more than Risty from figs alone.
>>152861038
She has a bunch of figs. Two of them sold very good.
That's way above average.
Also two games.
>>152859354
I just want more Airi.
>>152859354
>Flat cjested girl.
It looks pretty good IMO.
>>152859354
>ruining the desings in the process.
You gay? This Leina might even reach my top 5 worthwhile QB girls.
>>152859354
Echidna will get new design?
You can't change perfection of a dark elf lesbian rapist.
>>152861361
She barely changed.
>>152860740
God bless Hiraku Kaneko.
>>152860804
Truly, this is the golden age of facesitting
is there really not going to be any more grimoire? now that's two series with no end to the story.
>>152859354
I'm actually fine with those designs.
>>152859354
no real plot/story, too many girls, should just go full hentai
>>152862313
The first series had both plot and PLOT.
Second series had a nice premise but they completly ignore it just to put girls shouting "onee-sama".
>>152860585
if I see this fucking picture on youtube one more fucking time
Sup?
>>152859354
All I see is improvements.
Now gotta see how Cattleya looks.
>>152863592
Dead and forgotten.
>>152862055
That really sucks. Grimoire was fun.
>>152863548
What are you searching for, anime asses? I don't see that pic as a thumbail by just searching Queen's Blade.
>>152863642
With those initial designs I fear they'll make her smaller.
>>152860270
>>152860284
>>152860323
>>152860534
>>152860654
Wait, Cattleya is popular? I fucking love Cattleya (T H I C C busty MILF is my shit), but I thought nips like younger character?
>>152863753
Your basis being? I don't see Reina and Erina being any smaller.
>>152863821
Cattleya has more figures than any other character, many not even licensed by Hobby Japan.
Her merch flies off the shelves, when something about her pops up you better pre-order with months in advance because there's the only you can get.
>>152860861
Not popular.
>>152863821
She is popular in the figure market.
I should know, I failed to get her figures more than one time.
>>152864124
That doesn't seem to be a concern in this franchise.
>>152863821
She is EXTREMLY popular. She is actually the most popular character, although, on the bootleg market.
Their official figures sell well, but there is a shit ton of non official figures, also its the character with more doujins on comiket.
>>152865806
>two full series shelved because it didn't make Hobby Japan enough money.
>Popularity not a concern in this series.
Alright.
>Best girl's design is basically unchanged
Aww yeah.
>>152860270
>no action adventure series where Cattleya and Rana travel together and get into /ss/ bait situations
Kill me already.
All these plebs who think QB is just the anime and that Cattleya was ever slated to be a main char in the story.
She's a secondary character because the story was always about Leina and Cattleya travelling with Leina would overshadow Leina to bits.
This is why Echidna, Cattleya, Alleyne and Claudette can't be the focus. They're too OP lore wise.
>>152866753
I hope we get more Airi and Rana moments.
That was cute.
>>152859354
When will nips learn that ecchi series don't work without interesting characters or a plot?
>>152866796
The fuck you talking about, Queen's Blade is a byproduct of Hobby Japan wanting money by shamelessly getting classic Dungeons & Dragons battle books and comissioning their own lewd characters to turn it into a profitable franchise.
Story be damned, if they see a character makes money, they will shift the whole story to said character.
Going back to the first Queen's Blade cast while deeming Rebellion and Grimoire to limbo is proof enough that plot is secondary.
>>152867493
Ikkitousen had four seasons and the manga still is running after 16 years of slow ass plot progression, nobody reads/watches that for the marvelous plot of Three Kingdom figures being reincarnated into girls.
>>152868493
While the plot was stupid as all fuck in Queen's Blade, it was still pretty enjoyable.
>>152859354
I actually like those new designs.
Airi barely changed since you can't improve on perfection.
Still need to see Tomoe.
They better not ruin Echidna or Annelotte, my favourite QBs. I need my lesbo rapist and half-demon yuri prince.
I never cared about the game books as much as the anime so I don't really care about these changes. if they announce more anime and don't have rin-sin in charge of adapting the designs then I'll be upset, but it seems like arms is dead anyway.
