Story
This new season continues right after the first season left off, with Natsuru and his/her friends discovering that Sakura has been working with the Moderators to keep all Kampfers under their thrall. Why, you may ask? I don't know. The series never really explored this. We never discover why the Kampfers are fighting in the first place and this season only reminds us of things we already know.
The first episode only barely moves the story forward, while the second is just a one-off story that sees Natsuru getting a part-time job because her breasts have become too big and she needs bras. *sigh* That's it. That's all the story this season gives us. There is no meaningful narrative progression whatsoever and the heroines are no closer to stopping whatever Sakura has planned than they were at the beginning. Also, why are we even calling them heroines? They are more interested in taking Natsuru's virginity than stopping the bad guys. This story is a complete and absolute disaster. (2/10)
Characters
Natsuru continues to be a pathetic and useless moron who just stands around and lets others do all the heavy-lifting for him/her. At no point does he/she ever try to be useful to his/her team. He/she is one of the worst protagonists in anime history, and the other girls are hardly any better.
Mikoto and Akane are more interested in hooking up with Natsuru than, say, stopping Sakura. Shizuku is still the finest character in the show. She is the only with the greatest dedication at stopping Sakura, and I admit I find it amusing how easily she can run circles around Natsuru. She's the only character of this show with any semblance of dignity. Unfortunately, one good character is not enough to redeem such a worthless cast. (3/10)
Art
Much like the first series, this season doesn't exactly impress in terms of visual quality. The character designs look mediocre and done with the lowest effort humanly possible and the fight scenes aren't something to write home about, either. The only times the animation holds up is during the fanservice scenes, because the only thing Kampfer is interested in is titillating male viewers. With animation this terrible, it almost looks like the animators wanted this show to fail! (4/10)
Sound
The soundtrack isn't bad, but not impressive either. The voice acting, on the other hand, is wonderful! Seriously, the voice actors cannot earn enough praise for rising above the material they're given and do their absolute best, even when their characters are not worthy of their talents. When a character is bad, I normally try to not hold it against the actor voicing them. They are just people doing their jobs and collecting paychecks, after all. I'm glad to know that whatever work these actors get, their talents will never be wasted.
Overall
At long last, my agony is at an end. I have completed Kampfer's two seasons and I say this with the utmost sincerity: do not watch this show. I certainly do not want to watch it ever again. Kampfer is one of the worst times I've ever had watching an anime. It has no entertainment value whatsoever and it's not worth watching, even if it's by sheer morbid curiosity. I regret having watched this show, especially because that was time I'm not getting back. Still, if my reviews of the Kampfer series prevent at least one person from watching it, then it's all worth it. That's it, that's all. Thanks for your time.
