It looks like the 2nd episode of the Queen's Blade Grimore OVA will be doing a yuri version of the little mermaid. The PV can be found below.

Hand-holding, how Lewd!

Looks glorious. I don't know if Rebellion flopped or not, but I guess there won't be another TV anime. OVA format probably works better anyway.
I wonder if Urushihara is going to be doing one of the gamebooks or is just working on the anime or some reason. Guess he needs work now that his monthly paycheck from Akaneshinsha is gone.
>Queensblade but with lesbians
>with Lesbian pirate Marika
Can't wait.
Is QB always this explicitly yuri?
>>2093760
If it was, you'd hear about it. So no (IIRC)
>>2093760
I think there were already a few open lesbians, including side couple(s).
>>2093760
>>2093761
I wouldn't say Queens Blade itself is yuri but it does have a lot of yuri fluff. Echidna is definitely a lesbian and makes moves on Leina. Elina likes Leina, Claudette likes Elina. Elina masturbates thinking about her sisters in Rebellion. The swamp queen's minions were obsessed with Leina for various reasons. Airi can only live by regularly kissing beautiful girls and getting their life force.
But for the most part Queen's Blade is just fanservice aimed at guys. There are the bad end books and things that end with the girls getting raped by guys, sold into slavery and things like that too so if that rubs you the wrong way like it does me you may want to just stay away from most of it.
>>2093770
Don't forget half of the girls in Rebellion are basically Annelotte's harem.
Grimoire has Despina and Seiten who have lesbian antics as part of their attacks in the game books. The story in Gretel's book involves a female warrior coming to her shop looking for a fight only to have Gretel's warrior alter ego come out and start groping her. The rest is left to the imagination.
Also... Tiina supposedly makes a deal with Seiten for a pair of legs because she fell for a man. Wonder if the OVA changed this part of her backstory or if she had the same problem as Yuit.
>>2093760
The first two seasons are essentially a love story between the MC and her rival/mentor with the emotional climax featuring a confession of love while they hug so, yeah. Queen's Blade is pretty gay.
There's a lot of skeevy male gaze content but a lot of the actual core anime stuff is very gay and honestly pretty shippable/emotionally engaging?
>>2093770
>There are the bad end books and things that end with the girls getting raped by guys, sold into slavery and things like that too
Wait what? For real? Who has been raped? I need some spoilers
>>2093856
Well... Aldora gets raped by Echidna in her bad end, and while rape is a horrible thing at least at least she shut up about her fucking faceless husband for five minutes.
>>2093882
Obviously that wasn't what oneesama was talking about.
>>2093856
Annolotte gets put on display after losing her memories and the men in the crowd strip her
Tomoe loses a fight and surrenders to the man who is on top of her
Liliana is captured and tortured by a male crew member
A large monkey defeats and tries to breed with Leina
Nowa is captured and turned into a slave
Aldra is captured by former members of her army who say they only want to look at her
Melpha and Sigui are raped by a swamp giant
Sigui is captured by heretics twice
There are a lot more but most of them are the girls defeating each other. Some are yuri but a lot aren't. In one Echidna defeats Tomoe and tells her she's going to taste her, in one Elina defeats Leina and finally has her way with her etc.
They all are said to be non canon though but they are out there.
>>2093900
These are official stories not h doujins?
>>2093909
The 3 Vanquished Queens books.
>>2093760
QB is really gay (with several outright lesbians and some strong subtext couples, along with Rebellion being basically a yuri harem), but as others have said there is some stuff aimed at your typical hetero male audience.
If you just stick to the actual TV series (3 seasons) you'll be fine. The worst you'll have to deal with is a bit of tentacle type shit.
It's the "Violated Queens" shit that you should avoid which effectively killed the franchise anyway.

>>2093900
Well fuck.
Anyway thanks anon.
>>2093610
T..This Marika?
>>2094216
Shame she gets a boyfriend in the novel
>>2094266
As if any of us will ever read the novels.
>>2094266
What volume did this happen in? I never heard of this.
>>2094266
my dear dumb anon "SHE YEARNS for a male" DOESNT mean she got a boyfriend
>>2094315
That was also more of a joke.
>>2094316
Not a good idea to post jokes of that sort. You're inevitably going to end up turning away anons from series you'd have enjoyed talking about because they thought you were being serious.
>>2094319
It wasn't a joke they added a male love interest in the newest volumes
>>2094324
People have been posting that for years, and never providing any proof to back it up.
>>2093760
Yes, but back then the /u/sers were a lot more pretentious and called it a cynical marketing ploy of the patriarchy.
>>2094493
Well, despite how lewd the series is they don't really go 100% with most of the implied yuri. The only confirmed couples we have are straight with Aldra and her self insert and Cattleya and her husband.
>>2095153
Echidna and Irma were confirmed ex-lovers(strongly implied that they are still into each other).
So if I dont want any shit Het, just stick to the three anime seasons and i'll be fine? Are any of the OVA'S het?
>>2095209
The anime has het. Not the main character or anything but
Cattleya is extremely attached to her husband but he doesn't appear until like the end of season 2.
Airi becomes attached to Cattleya's son
Aldra marries a self insert and goes from being a cruel queen to a moe blob that is molested by two male demons all the time.
>>2095236
Is Aldora's husband actually real though. Does anyone ever see him?
Somehow it seems like a curse but I could be off on that.
Queen's blade is I think one of the better anime outside the Romance Genre with a load of Yuri in it. The fanservice can be excessive at times, but by season two it is extremely compelling, and season three takes it further.
Vanquished Queens was a huge misstep, the books are not redeemed by the woman on woman rape, but the vanquished queen OVAs all have an uplifting default end. So even though you have to sit through some nasty beatings, it's not for nothing. Especially when Echidna and Irma reconcile.
>>2095238
Her husband is supposed to be you. That's why we never see him.
>>2095236
That not much at all. As long as a majority is Yuri, and the main pairing is Yuri.
>>2095259
There is no main pairing.
>>2095259
It's not a romance. There's no main pairing.
>>2095259
Let me be clear, Queen's Blade is a fetish anime catering to all types, in which men are remarkably absent from the plot. It somehow develops a very compelling story after a trashy start.
Echidna is one of my favourite characters just because of how much she enjoys being a massive homo.
>>2095651
The groping is from the Season 3 end credits.
Cunt of a system thinks I'm spamming so just google bitoshi carnival and click on the thumbail of Menas' fat ass.
>>2095651
This is a gif but probably not the one you want. I don't remember them actually kissing.
>>2095560
Hawt.
>>2095662
There is a kissing scene of them and that's in the same special as the others that you posted.Of course, that kiss is in Elina's imagination.
>>2094266
I've been hearing this story for years. It'd be nice if, for closures sake, someone would post the LN pages and either prove, or debunk this rumour.
>>2096059
"She gets a boyfriend in the LN/manga" is a meme unless evidence appears.
What many queen's blade stuffs are out there?
I remember watching 3 main titles, and 1 OVA. And to be honest, I don't remember anything about them at all.
Are Vanquish and Grimoire new?
Are there any subbed version of the first episode of grimoire that is not 1024x576?
>>2096070
**How**
>>2096070
Check animedb or myanimelist for series release order and nyaa or tokyotosho for torrents.
Google is your friend.
Ah fuck. Just checked H-Hentai to see if there was any steamy Doujins...70 percent het, 20 percent futari, 10 percent Yuri. Makes my fucking blood boil. Disrespecting canon lesbian characters by forcing dicks on them.
>>2096314
It can't be helped. "Curing" a lesbian by thrusting a cock into her is also a popular fetish among waifufags.
>>2096314
I mean, we do the same thing all the time for canon straight characters. Just ignore it and don't let it get to you.
>>2096314
My greatest disappointment is nobody ever made an Annelotte x harem, Annelotte x Luna Luna or Annelotte x Aldra x Werbellia doujin.
>>2096314
How do you disrespect a fictional character?
Just binged watch the first two seasons. Loved it (Really reminded me of Sakura Fantasy).
Is Rebellion and the OVA's worth it?
>>2096893
Rebellion is pretty much a battle harem series, with a female MC. Most of the OVAs are also fairly gay, just watch out for the Vanquished Queens ones.
>>2096893
Rebellion is good, but because it didn't get an S2 it's only half a story.
>>2097027
>half a story
I don't know about that.Melona was stopped, and Claudette was freed. The primary conflict was resolved.
Who knows, maybe we'll get a new TV anime after these OVAs. That's what happened with Rebellion.
>>2097037
The primary conflict is seeing who gets to be Annelotte's wife.
>>2097037
>Who knows, maybe we'll get a new TV anime after these OVAs. That's what happened with Rebellion.
I hope it gets a second season. They still have to defeat the swamp witch.
So, how do I actually watch this series, chronologically? I seems like there's entire series missing on the queen's blade wiki and normal wikipedia, unless I'm just looking at the wrong places. Can I just get like, a list of the names of the various series and OVAs?
>>2103589
https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6080
You can also check on myanimelist.net (use it only for the info, avoid the community like death).
And yes, you can watch it chronologically.
>>2103642
I'm (you)ing myself but I think this is complete:
Queen's Blade: Gyokuza o Tsugu Mono (2009) - 12 episodes
Queen's Blade: Gyokuza wo Tsugu Mono (2009) - sequel, 12 eps
Queen's Blade: Utsukushiki Toushitachi (2010) - sequel, OVA, 6 eps
Queen's Blade OVA (2011) - OVA, 2 eps
Queen's Blade: Rebellion (2012), different main character, 12 eps
Vanquished Queens (2013) - OVA, 4 eps
Queen's Blade: Grimoire (2016) - different main character, OVA, 2 eps
How about Nanzaki Iku's manga series? I've never read them, but she's amazing so they must be good.
>>2103769
I started reading it years ago but never finished it. It's called Queen's Blade Hide & Seek and the main chara is Elina.
>>2108386
Not really, VD is more "girls only" friendly. Queen's Blade features more tentacles and holy milk (or whatever it was called) being poured on Nanael and other characters.
>>2108437
Queen's Blade also has buff men massaging Melona and all the implied rape in VQ. I've never seen VD but I recall the last episode threads talking about tentacles being added.
>>2113214
Lesbian tentacles though
