If you’re reading this post, then there’s probably a good chance you already know what you’re getting into. Queen’s Blade: Gyokuza no Tsugumono is a lot like the first anime series; for better or for worse.
The last episode of 12 to air in Japan of Queen’s Blade: Rurou no Senshi announced that a sequel is in the works, subtitled Gyokuza no Tsugumono (inheritor to the Throne, but romanized as Queen’s Blade and the Evil Eye).
Also recently announced is a sequel for Sengoku Basara, a popular video game adaptation.
Basara is slated to appear next year; Queen’s Blade is in development, with no release date announced. See the J Geek’s Early Impressions of Queen’s Blade: Rurou no Senshi: Here!

On one level, the Queen’s Blade phenomenon requires a bit of an explanation. On another, the concept is pretty simple.
What requires a bit of explanation is the source material for this new anime series. In short, Queen’s Blade is based on a turn-based pen and paper RPG that no one actually plays. (Well, never say never. There likely are a few folks out there who actually get a game of this going, but it’s widely held that few actually play the game.) Despite this, the rulebooks are widely popular and spur lines at store when they are released (in Japan).
