I just saw all the episodes of Kämpfer, and I have to say, I gave it a one. Why?, at first I really hated everything, the characters, the fan service, and most importantly there was no plot, the anime was just aimless, it was just about Shenanigans, until I realized how much greater it would be if the character's parents where there, and when I had just finished episode eleven, I thought I would just give it a two or a three since I enjoyed some of the wackiness, but some of it was really cringe inducing...
Episode 12 was the final nail in the coffin, at the first minute I had to put it at two times the speed, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was just a mess, the episode just ignored everything that the other episodes "built on" although it didn't have much, I wasn't expecting…

First off let me just say I'm surprised I have watched this anime all the way through. Kampfer has 12 episodes and 2 ovas.
Here are the reasons for my 5 rating.
Cons -
The main character is just plain annoying with a really annoying voice. The fact that hes dumber than a box of rocks just frustrates me more.
The plot.....I think I'm still trying to find it. This was nothing but a poorly done fan service. Oh and if you want something with a conclusion this is not it.
The Animals made no sense to me. What was the point of the animals with the entrails hanging out? Was it to have some kind of creepy factor?
Pros -
I like the Pres and the childhood friend. They at least made the show bearable for me to watch.
Ya, that was all the pros sadly. I'd save time and avoid this one unless you…

I still have no idea why I even bothered to finish this anime. The whole thing is just random, boring and full of fanservice. The "story" revolves around Natsuru Seno, a normal boy who wakes up one morning as a girl. We learn through his stuffed tiger that talks (and also has it's stuffed guts hanging out of his stomach) that this change was because he was chosen to be a "Kampfer," a female fighter, and he continues going back and forth between girl and guy to participate in fights with other Kampfer. Why? We are never told. They never give a real reason for this. Anyway, it's filled with yuri and awkward moments as the protagonist tries to get his dream girl to fall in love with his male side as more and more girls fall for the female him. The stories tend to fall flat on their face and I…

* this review is in my perspective, things may seem better/worse in others opinions. *
Kämpfer is a anime thats really based on echhi, And i recomend to not watch it if you dislike echhi. Eventough the rest seems good to you, like super powers and action. This anime is based on a percentage system what it will show.
50% echhi and romance
25% superpower and action
25% comedy.
Make sure the look at these numbers because thats what you will get watching this anime. recap (what's the story about,) -SPOILER FREE-
Natsuru is a normal student at a school thats split up in two sides, boys side and girls side. When he wakes up the next morning he has a bracelet thats blue, and he is a girl. A stuffed tiger wich support him with being a kämpfer tells him that he became a girl because all kämfers…

Oh Lord, where should I begin. Kämpfer is probably the strangest anime I've watched this summer. Let's just say this isn't your average harem, unless you even consider this a harem at all. Boy wakes up one day to find he's transformed into a girl, stuffed lion with intestines falling out tells him that he's a Kämpfer and has powers now, that's only the beginning of the weirdness. He somehow get's transferred into the girls only part of the school, and to make it better, I'm pretty convinced everyone in that school might be a lesbian. Why, you ask? They're all trying to "get to know her". And when I say that, watch episode 3 and you'll catch my drift. On top of that, she gets attacked constantly by other Kämpfers, so that pretty much ties it all up.
Story... what can I say, there isn't rea…

Kampfer is an anime series I randomly picked while I was a bit bored and it wasn’t half bad. If you like perverted anime series this one might be pretty suitable for you. What I thought it was kind of unique and somewhat interesting was the gender switch that happens to a rather unlucky, ordinary student, as he tries to find out the meaning behind the changes.
Apparently, the reason of the sudden transformation was the existence of the female warriors called Kampfer, as the protagonist was chosen to become one. Although their existence is not really explained, one thing is certain, that these mysterious warriors need to fight against each other for absolutely no reason (actually, in the anime it is stated something like : “You are born to fight!”, although apparently no kampfer knows the…

I really love all of the crazy implausible story concepts anime is capable of delivering us. Kämpfer is no exception, as it combines many time honored and tested themes of mahou shoujo-esque transformations, girls fighting each other, gender confusion, and lesbianism. Mix in plenty of service and a clichéd harem of the usual personality types and you have an anime that basically been made a hundred times before. And a lot better too. Even though, I still found myself inexorability drawn to this title because of its fabulous seiyuu cast.
The premise for Kämpfer is a bit unique. While it shares many of the same themes as shows like Ikkitousen and Sekirei, Kämpfer deviates by essentially making the male lead one of his own harem by forcing him to transform into a girl in order to participate…

This anime, although nicely drawn, lacks many aspects that pull the watcher into its world. The sudden start and end of the anime without development gives viewers the impression of trying to write an essay on a book that they are only allowed to read one page from. It seem to me that the producers tried to fit in too many aspects in only 12 episodes and ended up achieving little.
Story (5/10)
The story is the biggest letdown in the anime. Although it starts out with a good hook, it does not keep up with the expectations viewers have for it. The story revolves around Natsuru, a boy who fell in an almost worshipping love for Sakura Kaede. The story starts out with Natsuru waking up as a Kampfer, a girl (such classic Japanese ideas) wearing a blue bracelet, participating in battles against…

This part is what people usually read expecting you to tell watch it or not worth it but that's impossible. People have different tastes. Kampfer is full of fan service. If you want an anime where you get to see cute, big breasted girls fight for no particular reason then go ahead and watch kampfer. If you want to see a harem where everybody likes the boy and seduce him 24/7 then go ahead. If you are looking for an anime with a good plot, good action and good romance, please reconsider if you decide to watch it.
Story:
There is absolutely nothing to it. If I could change the title I would name it "The Life Of Natsuru Senou". At first you could tolerate it. Tolerate seeing girls fight with each other for no particular reason but then a few episodes through and you are wondering, "What the…

I can't believe so many people liked this series.
It started off with a good premise: Random girls get superpowers and are forced to fight for unknown reasons.
But then it's like they let a twelve year old boy re-write the story into a male to female bodyswap ecchi comedy with a harem. WTF? Sorry, but no amount of overly-sexualized high school anime girls will make your series "good". And how many times did we have to see Natsuru writhe in agony as a hot girl tried to seduce him? Awww, poor guy! o.O
If the girls had not been so obviously in love with Natsuru (they were actually physically fighting over him while he stood there confused!), and if the White Kampfers had shown up earlier (and been an actual threat) then this series might have been good. As it was, they had to make Natsur…

OK, this is my first review, but I felt I had to say something.
WTF!
The show started off OK (Ep 1-4). A bit of comedy a bit of action and a bit of ecchi, all fine and dandy. Then ensued a few episodes of 4 horny teen girls trying to get with a teenage boy who didn't get it. He was in love with an evil alien or possibly a human. Let me rephrase that, we have no idea who or what she was because instead of putting an end to the story in the final episode they put a comedy ep without an explanation to ANY of the questions the first 11 episodes worked up to.
This in my book was utter shit, the biggest dissapointment I've had in anime history so far. And I'm up to almost 150 days worth of anime already...

THE LOWDOWN:
Lesbian Anime Highlander is... just kidding. Kampfer is no Highlander. Being disappointed is not an accurate enough description to describe my thoughts for Kampfer, a show that might actually have some promise story-wise, if properly delivered. The story has roughly 10 minutes of airtime in the total 12 episodes. Nobody really fights anything for long, and nothing happens. There is never only One, and there is no facemelter.
It might be possible to use the characters in a slice-of-life comedy, though. It should be considered.
THE GOOD:
The art. The style looks great, and is well animated... and I'm not necessarily talking ecchi. Weapons, when actually involved, are well-designed and portrayed. Locales are well-represented. And the in-show soundtrack is pretty cool, but I'm no…

Kampfer: The story of a boy who discovers he has gained the ability to transform into a fireball-throwing female warrior.
I didn't expect anything from the first episode to be honest. I was ready for a poor anime from the start. Thankfully, it managed to improve a little bit in my eyes before it wrapped up at episode 11 (12? Don't ask...).
Story-It has an interesting premise: random people with bizarre bracelets have the power to transform into either sword-flinging, gun-slinging or fireball-blasting amazons. These amazons, split up into the classic Red vs. Blue style team battle, are fighting for unknown reasons, only by the whim of mysterious figures known as "Moderators."
Unfortunately, it doesn't really fulfill that idea. Only a few action scenes, and they tend to be short-lived. Th…

Natsuru is a normal high school boy, aside from the fact that one day he wakes up as a big-breasted girl. An Entrails Animal in the shape of a plush tiger with its intestines hanging out, named Harakiri Tora (Disemboweled Tiger), informs Natsuru that he has become a Kämpfer and must now fight against other Kämpfers for what initially seems like no reason.
The first episode starts off with a bang; Kämpfer seems like a nice comedy/action series with a little bit of gender bending and even a love story between Natsuru and a soft-spoken girl named Kaede tossed in.
Everything great about this series quickly degenerates, though, so soon as episode 3, when it becomes a yuri love-fest –– male Natsuru, trapped in his female Kämpfer body, stuck between it all.
And that basically sums up most of t…

Stay away from it!
Although it was fun at some parts, towards its end it becomes simply stupid, a really senselless plot without the grace of being even really funny, unless we consider ecchi bordering hentai funny.
Actually there is no plot, just an excuse to present yuri action and some small fighting scenes without even that much energy. The end itself was totally open and with a really stupid Great Revelation, and nothing is really resolved, and the reaction of the really really baka main protagonist was simply ... stupid.
Say, how much stupid it can get: The villain is using the main male character, does not like men and tried to make him kill his friends by controlling his actions, disregarding his will and seeing him as a tool, actually using his feelings towards her to her own…

Ah, Kampfer. The Anime with big-breasted girls fighting for no reason. Here's what I think after completing Kampfer. I will not write spoilers so don't worry.
Story: 7/10
Story? Hmm. Kampfer actually has no story. It's basically just a guy turning into a girl that goes to a school in which boys and girls are separated. Just throw a few random fights out there, and ta-dah, you get Kampfer. They basically don't know why they're fighting until the very end, in which came out as a sci-fi thing.
Art: 9/10
I loved the art of Kampfer. It was outstanding. The details are very well drawn and animated, and ofcourse, the breasts. Perfect 32 dds are perfect. It looked clean, and the fight scenes were also good.
Sound: 7/10
Didn't really stand out that much, but it was still good. You get your typic…

This show is made of fail.
let's see:
* a rich source of raw narm for very crude handling of a delicate subject. I really did want them to do a better job.
* near zero action, not what it says on the tin. the first chapters were better, it went downhill from there.
* way too much fanservice. goes over the line. see also next item.
* the near sexual harassment of natsuru becomes a very serious squick.
* last chapters dropped what little LGBT friendliness this show had.
* Perhaps i'd be more appreciative of the ending if the above was different.
* not to mention total disregard for manga canon.
redeeming qualities - high visual and audible quality. not enough to warrant a good show though.
overall, this gets a 3 from me.

“That was pretty stupid.” – Sangou Shizuku
Gender bending not your cup of tea? Harem is too redundant in the anime industry lately? Well then perhaps having one more of such show might not hurt too much. As the saying goes “there’s always an exception to everything”, and Kampfer might just be that one exception for you! Blessed with nice animation and huge plot twists (for better or for worse), Kampfer sure surprised many viewers towards the end of the show...in a negative way.
Let us start with something that is very lacking in Kampfer, the plot. Excluding the plot twists that contributed to some much needed “excitements”, the story was pretty non-existent. Viewers first find themselves thrown into the mist of a pre-planned battle between the red Kampfers and blue Kampfers, staged by s…

Kampfer... A series that everybody could've expected to be generic and full of fanservice right from the poster art. And it is exactly that. A show full of nothing but flaming lesbians attempting to battle it out against each other and greater beings called Moderators. Did they actually beat these said Moderators? No. Absolutely not. Barely anything happened, if anything actually did happen.
Story [5]: The story stars Senou Natsuru, your typical loser of a main character who is in love with a girl named Sakura Kaede. One day, Natsuru receives a stuffed doll and magically transforms into a girl. Natsuru then runs into the other characters of the show and what actually ensues? Fanservice... some more fanservice... some lesbian antics. That's pretty much all that really happens.
The series…
