In the adaption of the light novels of the same name from 2012, we get treated to a 12 episode series featuring duelling heroines and defunct clothing.
A sequel to the original Queen's Blade, it features a bunch of new characters, as well as some re-worked versions of the original story, as the ruling Queen has outlawed the Queen's Blade tournament to stay in power.
Set after the events of Queen's Blade, Gainos and the entire Continent has fallen under a tyrannical rule led by Claudette, the Thundercloud Queen and victor of the last Queen's Blade tournament (Leina renounces the title). Annelotte, a brave young knight and exiled princess, leads a band of rebels called the Rebel Army to overthrow Claudette and restore peace and order to the Continent.
Now, the story isn`t that bad at all actually, though let's all agree that it is the girls and the heaps of fanservice that make the reputation of this series. Though one must admit, it has been very well drawn and animated.
But it didn`t capture my attention as good as the original, I guess the "novelty" has worn off a bit in this second series...
Well, except Lua-Lua then perhaps hehehehehehe... (enter bloodnose).
