Queen's Blade Unlimited OVA 1 announced!

So, today the official Twitter announced the first OVA is getting released on July 13th!


It has many different editions apparently, limited editions will have a mini-novel by our author (80 pages) and a pic by our new artist.

Plus, according to the anime page as well, different stores might get different bonuses, with Melonbooks getting like a fanzine with comments from previous artists or Hans, HJ Online getting a random postcard among 5, and Toranoana getting an Airi tapestry thingie.

The stores also confirm that Michel will be voiced by Aya Suzaki, and with the reveal of the OVA's title ("Elina's Journey") and its basic plot, it confirms our suspicions that it's going to follow quite closely the story we're translating at the moment.
Hope they do a stellar job with the animation!

Go, Unlimited, go~!

  1. It's just an ova..? I thought we were getting a full series like the originals... That's disappointing! Well, at least we have a release date, so that's good. Cover is not half bad.

    Thanks for the translations by the way: they are very appreciated!

    1. Well, it was originally announced as an OVA, maybe they're not that confident given how Rebellion and Grimoire turned out... but nothing should keep them from extending it into an actual series if these sell well, I guess?

  2. Will the other girls still be previewed? Because Nyx is my fav and I'd really hate for her not to return.

    1. Yup, they might not pop up in the story so far, but they're bound to appear sooner or later for sure :D

      I wonder if the second OVA will follow the story this closely, or they'll try and bring more chars into it...?

  3. Hunn!! An OVA with Elena as the main character...I'll reserve judgement till I see some demo clips of the animation. Personaly, I would have loved it if they continued or rebooted the REbellion series. Annelotte Just had more purpose than both Leina and Elena combined!! And Queen Claudette is such a bad ass!! oh well, We'll see how this turns out but I don't see this becoming a series though.

  4. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a 3min short like that new anime about those lewd Angel girls.

  5. hello, sorry for bothering, it happens that I do not know who else to ask, why do not make ina pvc figure, melpha queens blade, there are all the girls but not her. It would be nice to see a figure cast off by Melpha. I do not know who to talk to, what blog to write, or what company to contact. It makes me very sad not to have a melpha figure cast off. ):, if you know how to support this topic, and that someday make this figure. I would be eternally grateful...

    1. Well if you could get a hold of Act Japan, Mega House or Revelatech, perhaps they could make them. The official Queen's Blade webpage has links to the pvc companies that make their figures. I hope that help some.
