Kampfer 01 – Thank god for no dick girls
Posted by Ray on 02 Oct 2009 at 1:00 pm | Categories: Anime Reviews
Reading about the concept I went “uh-oh, I hope not.” Thank God it was not. Of course, being the first episode, I wasn’t too terribly impressed. However, for something that didn’t sound so great, it managed to keep a good pace, having quirky characters, and I could hear the seiyuu working their asses off to make sure this would be a hit.
We have a guy who somehow gets turn into a girl/Kampfer even though supposedly only girls can turn into Kampfer. Then we have some really Otaku reference about Gundam mecha and even a well-known seiyuu who hasn’t gotten any significant roles that I know of in recent seasons. Then chaos ensues.
An interesting twist in Magical girl genre, perhaps? With Mai-Hime-like scenario waiting ahead for us? Who knows? But for now, the first eps wasn’t epic for me.
The dolls were funny and I guess it’s obvious that there is a good reason they’re all torn with insides out. It is a show that makes fun of the magical girl concept after all.

ROFL you’ve contradicted my post! IMO, Kampfer is a show ALL about dick girls!
You watched it sober; I watched it drunk. It sucks trying to look deeply into something when drinking! Good job on your article, though.
Another series dedicated to fans of fansservice. I didn’t like the first episode at all. The presentation felt a bit plain and most things seems to occur randomly…
But what did I expect? >.<
@ Thai Nguyen – That seems to be the issue this season – fan service dressed up as something with solid substance. That said, it had great gun fighting animation sequence, so that’s a plus. Other than that, unless you read deeply into the show, there doesn’t seem to be much else special or significant.
