Four of the game books were released in English (Nanael, Alleyne, Melona, and Tomoe). I heard they didn't sell too well, so there's no plans for more translations.
I'd be surprised if we got an English release of Spiral Chaos on the PSP. Most of my PSP games are imports since the North American market never gets the good stuff.

I can certainly see why.
Also, man do I wish Queen's Blade would just end already.

Already have the BD of the first two series |
I'm defintely having this series in the " to keep an eye out " catagory.
However..........
Quote: | The story is set four years after the first storyline and revolves around Annelotte, the rebelling knight princess who stands up to the tyranny of the new queen |
How is this storyline going to make sense? The new female lead Annelotte,sounds interesting since she's a knight princess, but standing up to the tyranny of the new Queen????? How in the holy high hell did Lena became like that when she became the new queen? That dont make sense at all.
Though what's really really going to be over the top is BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! The introduction of Nanael's apprentice. REALLY????

Hey, if MegaMan Zero can pull off turning Megaman into a tyrannical dictator, I'm sure QB can do it too....
...granted the idiots in the higher ups forced a last minute change in the end of MMZ.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Although the story is still ongoing it seems to me that:
[*]The QB competition is corrupt
[*]Heaven, which oversees the competition, isn't perfect
[*]The Swamp Witch's reason for wanting to stop the QB tournament has yet to be revealed
Given all that, maybe whoever becomes Queen is destined to become a corrupt ruler. I wouldn't be surprised if the series reaches a point where the Swamp Witch's team becomes the protagonists, Disgaea style.
Queen's Blade... QB... nah, that's just a coincidence.

Why's it matter to you whether there's more Queen's Blade or not? Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's not like by making Queen's Blade some other high quality anime is being pushed to the wayside. If it wasn't making money, they wouldn't make more of it.

Hater's gonna hate. It's better not to acknowledge them. Otherwise you get stuck in a multipage flame war.

Plus, it's obvious that they didn't sell well because none of them were Aldra, Nowa, or Ymir!
But if I really wanted to see a sequel to QB, instead of Rebellion, I woulda liked to see a series devoted to Rana and Airi travelling together and interacting. As far as character interactions go, those two were probably my fav.

I recall a major criticism was the lack of Rena, since she's the main character in the story. Also, tabletop games are a niche industry.

Airi is my favorite. Multiple fetishes in a single simple character design and strong game stats too (Dematerialize seems really powerful). I can't imagine them doing much traveling since they're tied to Cattleya's shop, but maybe they could bring them back into the story once the boy grows up.

Well i highly dobut that and you do have a point about power corrupting anyone, but seriously? Their gonna have some massive explaining to do if they turn Leina a tyrant for Rebellion.
I would understand if it was that raging incestious lesbian sister Elena since she's as bad as her father, but she's not the new queen.
It's like I said,their going to have some serious explaining to do.
also Gon*Gon, I REALLY REALLLLY DOUBT THEIR GOING TO DO IT MEGAMANZERO STYLE!!!!!
Turing her into a tyrannical dictator is definitely one thing but that would be way too much.

It is. Fully heal and it recovers ailments (likes Menace's curse), not to mention Airi has rather strong attacks that can steal HP. The one thing that balances her is that her total HP is one of the lowest in the game. (Ymir can easily OHK her).
Oh, for those who are wondering about how the story will continue. In the various Rebellion books that were releases Leina is not the Queen, Claudette is, and she's the tyrant
