Well overall I enjoyed the first episode. It's nothing too serious and should be some relaxing fun. At least the lead isn't the only one in the dark regarding what this Kämpfer battle is all about. I'm sure he'll be glad when he can control the transformation so he can go to the guy's washroom.

I'd say Natsuru's voice felt off when I first heard it. But by the end of the episode I was fairly used to his male voice. At least his female voice fits well so should be alright all things considered.

For some reason Akane's Kämpfer side was one of the high points for me. Not a bad person when she's not trying to shoot you.

It's not like this is the worst show I've seen. Kinda entertaining actually, even if in a stupid way. I would call it Akikan with proper graphics

I would make animated avatars from the ED, but that place is reserved for the ultimate show..

so the first episode is finally released and subbed, i just watched it now and to me it wasnt awesome and it didnt suck. it was just how i was expecting it to be like since i didnt really have high hopes for this series.
im still kinda looking forward to the next episode since they did a good job ending the episode with a pretty good cliffhanger and kinda making it so that the viewers would want to come back at least to see what is going to happen.
id say id give this first episode a 3/5 but this is just for the first episode.
i hope to see it get better but if it stays the same as it is rite now and doesn't get worse then ill be happy with this anime anyway.

OP and ED are really bad. Rest is fine, can't expect too much from this kind of show anyway. Don't really now if I'll carry on to the end tough, it'll depend on the other shows.

I wrote my impressions on my blog.

Some parts were boring (the non-fighting parts), but overall it wasn't bad. Better than Akikan. Lol. This anime has nice action and cool weapons, I say.

Aye, well this was an entertaining first episode and it was enough to keep me interested and wanting to watch more.
The story isn't very captivating but it was quite funny and the fights were okay. Animation doesn't seem to be anything special, but it wasn't bad.

Didn't really like the OP but the ED was pleasant... :3

I'll watch next episode.

Soft, bro. People like things in between. But I blame that whatever first anime that started the ecchi fad. Then again, someone must have thought of it anyways. Hey. Let's make something that's not really that dirty, but dirty enough to be likened by the guys who thinks the dirty stuff is a bit too excessive. There must be guys like that, right? Right?!

It's still watchable. I'll try a few more episodes unless I'm really bored.

You just predicted the future of MAL, when it becomes a secret organization holding tournaments where girls fight each other.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

The introduction felt a little rushed...at least for someone who hasn't read any of the manga. I actually though it was funny, for the most part. It's like they know it's nothing special so they make fun of it.

lol, the randomness of the ending theme makes up for it. Swinging themselves violently, and then just ass and boobs?.. ya... they arnt even trying to hide the sexual idea there lol.


LMAO I was thinking the exact thing. I really enjoyed the first ep. I do agree with everyone else, his voice is bad, but I think I can get used to it. Akane was great, and the "Entrails Animals" are hilarious. I liked all the VA references and jokes, and the German is a nice touch, reminds me of the manga "Knights". I think I'll def be watching this show...Urahara Out!!

It's not that bad. The jokes were funny and most of the voices were quite fitting. Action will probably pick up once Senou gets used to his alternative form, so I expect this show to only get better from here.

I felt this episode was to rushed. Didn't think the library battle would happen until next episode at least.
Also I was not expecting Natsuru's male voice to be so... prepubescent. Because of the voice tones of both his male and female self, I couldn't get into his genderswap. He just seemed like a girl to me the entire time. ;[

Well i'm not trying to mention his voice in manga but in manga Natsuru once said that he was afraid that Sakura noticed him about his voice being similiar as when he transformed into female, so his voice were similiar during transformation..but yeah kinda weird about his voice though XD don't bother the detail just enjoyed it..it's quite different from the manga, so far it's enjoyable..

to those whos complaining about the "huge amount" of fan service in this show, Id like to point out that ep1 of Railgun has by far more (and more "direct") fan service than ep1 of kaempfer, and loli. So, gl with better animation there.
and to those who believe they cant enjoy this stupid crap, Id like to say, drop it before you come back every week complaining about how bad it is. It is annoying for both you and others.
and to those who thinks they can laugh at those stupid jokes in the show, Id say, good choice! :-)

This episode was surprisingly good compared to the initial reactions of many people here.
Although I admit I'm an ecchi fan, as well as fighting (a la Tenjho Tenge), I find that I'll most likely follow this series unless it takes a horrible turn for the worst.

P.S. Female Natsuru Senou is cute ^^ haha

For a genre that usually reeks in the gutter and doesn't ever try to do anything new, this show has an edge. It's has the potential to be a well above junk-food type of a show. It's the type of show that you indulge in even though it's devoid of any nutritious content.
The parody bit and combing a few cliches in a unique way does pique my interest.


Honestly, I was expecting much worse from looking at the cover art, but it looks like it will be an above average fluff show, which translates into an non-fluff average show.

And is it just me or could have they gone a lot more overboard with the ecchi given the premise? May watch for another episode to see if it improves.

Somewhat different than what I've expected after reading the manga... But since the show is adapted from light novels, not the manga, I guess I shouldn't complain... Still, some stuff could have been better, for instance- for everyone who's reading the manga- remember how Hatsuru came to be ''the bait'' in the library? That scene was hilarious- at least for me- and they've changed it in the anime. I is dissapoint.

Also, I totally agree that the male Natsuru sounds way too girly, although I know that manga states he's supposed to have the same voice all the time, I really imagined his voice as somewhat more manly, and cool, even if that would mean that his female version would have to sound like a complete tomboy.

One more thing... There was loads of ecchi in the anime- more than in the manga, I think- and for the first time ever... I don't think I'm happy with it. Although it's pretty hot, I really don't want this show to end up being simply fan service. I mean, manga has some of these elements too, but not in a such shove-it-in-your-face way... I hope this won't ruin the show's potential in other areas, cause it's-at least what I know from the manga-got great humor, kickass action, and-I think-a somewhat deeper background story than it looks at the first sight...

Not very convincing storyline....what the kampfers are fighting for?
As expected tons of fanservice will cover this show....
Plus wtf natsuru male voice like girly, i thought he will sound like a guy (I not blaming Marina Inoue for doing natsuru male voice,just it doesn't fit with his looks)
And what the heck intestines coming out from that stuffed animal????
Shame the cast are marvelous but the anime ...."facepalm" ....

Actually, those stuffed animal with their intestines sticking out along with "moderators" are the sole 2 things that kept me awake during this ep. As for the gals, I've seen countless of prettier gals to even bother about them, though the red head gunslinger was able to shift my attention toward her for 1 sec, mostly due to her foul mouth... Foul mouth girls FTW!!! The jokes are so-so and the main dude is another everyday-in-your-Junes pussy... <_<

It was a GDODAMN mediocre show which I would watch it just for its badness, if I was not already too busy with other better shows this season can offer. So, in other words,...
