Kampfer episodes 1 - 4



Ah, fanservice. Boobs boobs boobs all over your screen. Or at least, thats what Kampfer is.
Let me start off by saying, I enjoy the occasional fanservice anime. Hey, I'm only human. But most fanservice anime at least show you some good comedy or something, but not Kampfer. Nope, Kampfer is all about the bootie.

The story follows a boy who gets turned into a girl. Why? Because he's a Kampfer. Whats a Kampfer? Its a girl who fights other girls. The boy, who's name I've forgotten, has to struggle with randomly turning into a girl, and everyday school life. Thats pretty much the entire 4 episodes in a nutshell.
The characters in Kampfer are very typical for this type of anime. You have the clueless main character who doesnt notice most of his female companions passes at him, the nerdy girl, the tsundere girl and the slightly too obsessed girl. There will probably be a loli character introduced further on in the series. Honestly, I wish I could tell you more about the story and characters, but there isn't much to tell. The whole anime is based off of "Sexy situation, lame punchline. Rinse. Repeat". And even that isn't particulary well written.

The animation isn't that bad. Being animated by Nomad, who brought us the Rozen Maiden animated series, helps make this lacklustre series pretty to look at, but unfortuantly not much else. The character designs are okay, but again very typical. The backgrounds, typical. The animation, average.

This review is gonna seem really shit. Thats because this anime is so bland its hard to talk about. Really. I think the best review I can give it is in one line:

If you need a wank, watch Kampfer.
