Kämpfer

Review (after reading manga)

A young male love a girl at his school but doesnt have the guts to ask her out yet so has been keeping it at a friend level, but suddenly hes thrown into a game that can cost him his life but comes with a bonus that can get him closer to the girls of his dreams...

sure this sounds like a million other anime's about guys who cant get their act to gether but whats so wrong with that? i love this kinda storys and as long as theres a twist why would i complain about the same old same old build?

If you dont enjoy the anime where guys become girls and try to hook up with their dream girl or where magic thrusts people in to battles they have little to no knowledge of then this isnt for you. But if your anything like me and think its funny to watch some guy make a fool of himself and watch hot chick go at it ripping clothes off and making out then you should enjoy this. :)


First Episode Review (before manga knowledge)


After waking suddenly a young meek boy finds himself in a female body and a stuffed animal starts lecturing him. As with anyone denial is the first response to events the brain just cant wrap its self around. His stuffed tiger explains the basics of his situation with no real detail simply that when his bracelet glows he will turn in to a female and likely run into a fight.

When turned in to Kämpfer deep personality traits are more exaggerated physical ability it increased and you gain a weapon. There are three weapon types mentioned at this point. To keep it simple either your a sword user, a gun user, or like our main character a magic user.

story:8
having to pick based off the first episode i can see it turning into a good story, 2 chicks dig him so far and more are sure to come

art:8
love the school uniforms color is good and frame rate isnt anything to be disappointed about

sound:7
sure good enough guy could be a bit more many but then again it adds to him meek personality almost makes him seem...

character:8
quicky defined in the first episode i already feel like i know them well with the transformations draging out the most deep desires of the kampfer we can see just who's who right off the bat

enjoyment:7
worth the 20 mins so far
and expecting more the first 2 epsisodes make up a nice chunck of the manga so im hoping for some good new action

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed from watching the first few episodes of Kämpfer. After finding out that Kaede has an intimate crush on the female Natsuru, I felt like dropping this anime. Apparently, I am contemptuous about the characters in this anime, wondering how in the world this anime ended up in the romance category. What kind of girl-girl relationships create romance? I was distraught after realizing that most of the female characters were lesbians.

But thanks to Akane, Kämpfer builds up a subtle romantic relationship between her and the male Natsuru after their first encounter. Akane seems annoyed when Kaede appears, especially when Natsuru is with her, suggesting that Akane has some sort of affection toward Natsuru, which might possibly build up later on in the next few episodes.

I am reluctantly planning to continue watching this anime, mainly because I want an answer to why this anime is categorized a romance. For those who are expecting this to be a romantic anime, I'll remind you that the first few episodes won't be as inspiring. read more
