| ...let me put this bluntly. The only reason I will watch this and didn't rage quit on the first episode was due to Akane. Pretty poor. I hope that one character can carry the show. |
 |
| Random mindless fun, pretty girls and a trap, nice designs, the usual bright and cheerful Nomad animation, just what I needed cause this year was quite unproductive for such kind of shows so far. |
| I like. |
 |
| Woah...Oo Why is everyone hating on it...?oo For me, It wasn't that bad at all. I mean, at something is happening all the time XD Actually, the reason why I started watching this was Shizuka (Shizuku? Oo) and she's the reason why I won't drop it. Well, If her character turns out to be lame.annoying then... :/ |

dbaranyi said: I don't know why, but somehow it always seems to me that most of the earliest new anime series of any given season are garbage. It's as if the creators of these shows want to quickly get them out into the public view, before the fans can start to watch better shows. That's totally true, I noticed that too. Well, we can probably explain that by the fact that these shows are usually broadcasted on small UHF channels and so considered filler program more than important content program, and thus must be started and finished as soon as possible to have a bigger volume of shows over the year. Audience is so low on these shows that it's not really a big issue anyway. Concerning this episode, I managed to watch 3'27 of this crap (+ the PV last week), which is a very nice amount of time dedicated to such a show. Dropped of course. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| The show's not bad at all, it provides exactly what it set out to do: Some good, mindless and ecchi fun. If someone's watching it expecting some deep masterpiece, then he's the fool, not the show ;) Don't worry, once we've got the usual professional whiners outta this thread (and they hopefully stay out), things will get more relaxed and enjoyable. |

| this suffers from the same thing Needless suffered from - great premise with somewhat crappy execution because it's buried under FANSERVICE. sigh, despite the impressive seiyuu lineup on paper, I'm finding the voice acting rather bad. Inoue Marina...just isn't cut out to voice a guy - I kind of wish Kobayashi Yuu was casted as Natsuru since she can pull male and female voices with ease (i.e.: Shidou Mariya from Maria Holic). Then again, the last male role Marina did (Erio Mondial in Nanoha StrikerS), I liked...she might just need to spend time getting used to voicing a male. Perhaps she's like Kobayashi Sanae - when D.Gray-man first aired, Allen sounded way too girly...but got better as the series went on. sadly enough, despite Marina and Nakajima Megumi's singing talents, the ED song really sucks. sigh, write better songs for those two? I cringe to think what the charasongs will be if they ever make 'em. but this episode DOES win for referencing Horie Yui and Tamura Yukari - and personally I think Horie Yui doing something not-so-moe (the Kampfer form of Mishima) was quite amusing. |
| The only reasons I started watching this were 'cause of good seiyuus; Mizuki Nana, Mamiko Noto, Megumi Nakajima, Tamura Yukari, Yui Horie and Inoue Marina ... aww ! The animation style is not that amazing and so aren't the OP and ED themes. And Megumi has way too good voice for songs like that ;___; But Akane is interesting character. I'll be watching this but I really hope that this won't last that longer than 13 episodes ... |
     |
| Somewhat Generic, but fine for a 1st Episode. Given we get into the action right from the beginning, I feel it'll go 2/3 Eps Action Plot then Eps 2/3 Filler/Non Action episode wise. Fine with the voice acting, and to be frank - I'm actually finding this better than some stuff i.e Queen's Blade (which NOBODY actually watched for the story). Gonna hold out initial judgement until Episode 5 at least to get a good measure. |
 |
| I don't see anything wrong with the voice, it is a bit on the girlish side but it is still clearly a "guy" voice |

| Not sure what to think of it yet. The seiyuu jokes are funny and the sudden transformation of Akane in the library was nice, too. But the rest looks generic and very predictable. We'll see where this goes. |

 |
| Good ep1, this show is going to be my favorite this season for sure. (too many shojo and kiddy shows anyway) though there is indeed a huge disappointment on male Natsuru's voice. He sounds like a 5 year old kid lol... I understand the need to use a same seiyu for both female and male Natsuru. According to people whove read the novel, Natsuru's voice doesnt change after he turns into a female, but its more like the female Natsuru sounds a bit like boy rather than male Natsuru sounds like a girl. It feels a bit disturbing in ep1, but I hope I will soon get use to it, lol... |
     |
| i first watched it raw in the morning and i didn't like natsuru's and that tiger plushie's voices and did not really appreciate it.. after rewatching tonight with subs, i think i got used with the voices and i feel like i'll really be watching it every week.. normal akane is funny.. she's always putting meaning on everything.. in a good way.. hehe.. |
| I didn't notice Akane Suzumiya was that funny. |
 |
| I liked the first ep because it was quite funny. I have already read the ongoing manga and I like it. My favourite is Akane(-chan) and her psycho-bitch mode. |
froomball said: somewhat crappy execution because it's buried under FANSERVICE. Okay... The fanservirce wasn't that bad...Oo I usually hate it, and this was fine. kinda not over the top...:/ Sonja said: I'll be watching this but I really hope that this won't last that longer than 13 episodes ... Though I'm gonna have to agree with this. The "plot" isn't good enough for anything longer... |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| And am I seriously the only one who doesn't like Akane? Oo I love her Kämpfer self, but she's kinda annoying when she's acting normal...>> |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| That was funny. |
 |
| i thought it was good, i think i will watch the rest as it airs |
 |
| That is quite a negative review for ep 1 dbaranyi made. I thought it was pretty enjoyable to watch. But i wouldve hoped for natsuru to stay as a boy even when hes in his alter ego form. This boy changing to girl process is already shown in ranma. So i cudda enjoyed it more if the main protagonist was an exception to the fact that only girls can turn kampfer p.s. i love the design of the characters, they look v-hot. Too bad its only 12 eps long. |
Knave said: I don't know what you people expected, but i randomly downloaded this and i liked it. Yeah, same here. Don't really know what to expect (other than big boobs), but I will keep on watching. |
| natsuru is way cuter in the manga im disappointed |
| i'm so confused. i don't know what to think about Senou switching genders lol |
| Wow, how outrageous... What's with the random and unnecessary sound effects in this show? |
| Main character in guy form still sounds too much like a girl. |
brass2themax said: It probably doesn't hold a candle to Ranma 1/2. That's definitely true. ='p -nods- HawthorneKitty said: 7123x said: Mamiko Noto, HECK YES!May be in next couple episode , one chara might say "My weird doll sound like Mamiko Noto" Can't wait to hear that I CAN'T wait for that one! x'D I lawl'd at the seiyuu jokes myself. More so when KampfAkane and her Seppuku Usagi were fighting with each other saying their seiyuus' names xD I like Akane's voice since the normal one sounds like Ayu-ayu, I like. Her KampfAkane one, can't seem to swallow it...lawl As much as I really like Marina-san, I don't like Natsuru's male voice either...but oh well... -shrugs- too late to complain about that. I was just checking this coz I was bored. I guess I'll be the judge after two or three episodes... Since I'm not really into ecchi/harrem/yuri. lawl But I'll give this a chance...I love Nakajima Megumi anyways. ♥ I'm glad this episode isn't like Akikan's first episode though. That series was just...gah...even though I LOOOOOOOVE Fukuyama Jun so much. >_< Just wasn't able to get pass the first episode. :'< And I have a soft spot for gender benders too. :'3 But it would've been better if it was reverse-harem, but that's just my ever-loving shoujo-side coming out xD |
     |
| aside from the fact that you hit the ground running with this one, the obvious innuendo, the plot, etc... this show is no different that anything that has come out so far. i will still watch it just because i watch all shows that don't completely suck. |
| i like it ^^ |
 |
| Well.. Awesome bgm during the pre-OP scene xD Hmm.. This somehow seems to be.. quite a strange, yet not really unusual anime. Oh well, let's see how this series turns out. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| oh god this was so bad i'm gonna keep watching this. The transformation scene was boss |
 |
| Fine episode. This seiyuu inside jokes... subtle as sledgehammer banging viewer's head. Oh well. |
Wasabi said: There's worse shit out there... like Queen's Blade. Yes so far there aren't any acid shooting breasts. I think a lot of people need to relax. If you were expecting Clannad Afterstory from Kämpfer then you probably didn't read the synopsis or the description which mentioned "ecchi". I can't really think of too many ecchi shows that had an ounce of originality. If you can't laugh at mindless productions you should probably just stop watching them. Ok I get it, it's the first show of the fall line-up and everyone is antsy. From and ecchi/action standpoint, Kämpfer is exactly what it's fans have been waiting for. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. The first episode pretty much sets up what is to be expected from this show, which is basically nothing but mindless humor revolving around a gender bending high school boy. There was a good amount of Fan service, but nothing that was completely over the top yet, like the extended pantie shot in the beginning of Bakemonogatari, which I thought was brilliant satire btw. As for the voice acting, Marina Inoue's voice certainly isn't unique but I've always liked her performances. My biggest question right now, since I haven't read the manga yet, is whether or not she fully transforms into a girl if you know what I mean. |

| What a pile of shit. |
| O.o Ok, wtf I just now watched. O.o It was completely so random. Seriously, suddenly male become a trap without no serious reason. Some crazy bitch pops out and want to kill him until she noticed that he is nakama and so on. Seriously, what the fuck? Well, at least soundtracks and animation were good. Giving few more episodes chance before I drop this. /brainless harem |
| This show is pretty decent. I like the seiyuu jokes. I see potential in this...potential to not fail by the time the show is midway done. Hopefully... |
| man this show is so stupid xD but sicne the cast are really great and if these seiyuu jokes keep on i stick to it. |

| ...Meh. I'm surprised by this discussion, what was everyone expecting? You're all acting like you expected a masterpiece or something, I knew it'd be a fanservice-based show just by looking at the plot. :/ So, I kinda knew what to expect. To be honest, I've seen much worse so I'm not that upset. It had a couple sort of funny parts here and there, and the ecchi was just a tad more tolerable than usual. That's not saying much though, since I dislike ecchi in general so even 'a tad more tolerable' than usual isn't good, but still. ...Still not really my cup of tea so far though, I may end up dropping it, who knows? I'll give it a couple more episodes before I decide though. Also, I feel like the only one who doesn't like Akane. What's up with people saying she's the only good thing about it and crap? She annoyed the hell out of me... |

You're not the only one, I wrote the same thing a few comments ago... ___ omg, I know you...Oo But If I start talking, I'll sound like a creepy stalker so I'll stop now.. XDDD |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| Well, I liked the plot and what happened was pretty good, but the characters voices are very bad. The girls voice's are too breathy and the main guy is clearly voiced by a girl. If I only heard his voice, I would think he has a girl. And the edting was done pretty good, unlike most shows last season *cough* Princess Lover *cough* The episode itself was pretty good though. |
 |
| Better than I was expecting, animation quality is a bit above Akikan's at least (but still on the same level, or just one above). edit~ maybe 2 levels. still Needs a 720p release =/ OP and EN are likable. Ecchi-ness + Fighting + Mass innuendos = Mindless entertainment. Will keep. |

| Well..that was average. Awaiting Nana-chan's debut. |

DaBigD said: lol, awesome episode. The plot is again an excuse for ecchi scenes and random cliché accidents / misunderstandings. The girls are cute, there's some yuri, and I laughed quite a bit. Will be watching this shit. YES. XD |
 |
| That was... quite the transformation sequence. |
