Kampfer (animation)

This season i have been following a new anime name Kampfer... This Kampfer here has nothing to do with the Mobile Suit in Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket. It was originally a light novel, and like other JP light novel it got famous then came the Animation and Manga.



I have been reading the novel before the animation, it was really entertaining. The story is similar to Ranma 1/2 and Pretty Face, the main protagonist is a male that can transform into a female warrior call Kampfer. Currently the novel has reach volume 10 but the anime version will only have up 12 episode.... so we will be expecting some chopping here and there. Hope it does a good work like Spice and Wolf.


The list of characters. Anyway i like the art style of the Novel more than the rest



Basically the story is about Natsuru that transform into a female so as to battle with another group of Kampfer. He/She represent the Blue team along with another gal call Akane.They gain their info through a messenger. So hence start the life of Natsuru which is full of fun and mistake.


The messenger Harakiri Tora. Each Kampfer has their own Messenger. 

After watching the first episode of the anime i would said that overall quality is ok and the pace of the story has greatly improve over the original novel version. However the story itself does not stay as good as the novel version... a lot of important stuff has been left out or modified (Fan Service has been lvl up).To my surprise is they really when find the original senyuu of Shizuka frm Doraemon to voice over Harakiri Tora the messenger. Overall it is still within acceptability level for me.


Henshin....

If you find yourself liking this anime or the style of this story and feel that the animation is too short and you're too lazy to read the novel version, there is still a manga version. The story and phase are better than the animation version and the art style is closer to the novel.

If you want me to rate the three version, it will be Novel > Manga > Animation. So lets enjoy Kampfer.


Ops wrong picture.
