Media Blasters has always been a fun company to watch as they bring stuff in out of nowhere sometimes and it just surprises to great effect. Case in point today as some of their solicitation information has come down that reveals that the company has not only licensed Squid Girl (a second season is in the works), but that it’ll arrive this September with a bilingual presentation of the first half of the series. We were delighted by this show when it first aired on Crunchyroll last year and are very excited to see such a cute and fun show come to the market. In addition to that, we’ve also got a look at the pricing and release plan for the Blu-ray edition of Queen’s Blade 2, which will contain the whole series in one fell swoop.
