Yes it is just a more modern Ranma- but what is wrong with that? Ranma was great and its animation, setting and general demeanour is a bit dated now.
Kämpfer means Gladiator in German and the entire reason for the boy/girl transformation is based around this however so far this ’main plot’ element seems to very much be taking a backseat to what would normally be the sub-plot of the relationships between the characters.
Maybe this will actually come into play at a later date but meh, its fun enough as things are.
This anime is full of non-stop innuendo and general jokes of a sexual nature without actually going out there and being blatantly sexual. The fan service at the half time break is a bit pathetic but watching the programme as a whole...its almost like its mocking the genre. Probally not intentionally but there you go.
This anime is not a serious thing to sit down and watch and get all deep about. Its just a nice, funny little show to make you giggle for 20 minutes each week.
