Queen’s Blade: Grimoire’s second OVA is now expected to release sometime this SummerHantsu x Torasshu will see its second OVA is scheduled for June 6th.

The first OVA of Hantsu x Torasshu  came bundled with volume 8 of the manga last October.  It was only about half the duration of a typical anime episode, and had fairly poor animation.  The story made no sense.  But it did show boobs.

The manga is one of the funner ecchi manga running right now, hopefully this trend of bundling OVAs continues.

With regards to Queen’s Blade’s newest OVA, the exact release date still isn’t known, but we do know that the OVA will come bundled with the Queen’s Blade: Grimoire: Fuyu no Maoh  visual book which will release sometime this Summer (per anime news network).

This is the 2nd and (expected to be) last of the Queen’s Blade: Grimoire  OVAs.  It will be entitled “Rinbu, Yumemiru Ningyo-hime” (Round Dance, Dreaming Little Mermaid).  It seems that Ningyo-hime Tiina will be the featured character this time around.  She’ll be voiced by Saori Goto, who also did the voice of Hanzo from Samurai Girls .  Here is what Ningyo-hime Tiina looks like in the books:

 

Ningyo-hime Tiina (1) Ningyo-hime Tiina (2) Ningyo-hime Tiina (3) Ningyo-hime Tiina (4) Ningyo-hime Tiina (5)

Based on the last picture, it seems that she has the ability to transform into a human.

Seems like a pretty good character design.  Having a mermaid with a permanent ‘wet T-shirt’ effect is pretty neat.

Hopefully we’ll get a PV soon.
