The adventures of one gender confused guy continue
The adventures of Natsuru the hottest guy/girl continue in these two new episodes. Poor Natsuru thought after all this time, he would be used to being a boy/girl, but when his female attibutes grow to big for her underwear, she takes a job at a new cafe with AMane, hoping to earn enough money to buy new bras. However when the cafe is hosting a school mixer - lead by the sadistic school president, poor Natsuru is pulling double body duty trying to host and work at the same time. Add a locker and some nosy co-workers and watch the clothes fly. BUt of course the White Kapfers are still gunning for both red and blue, so Natsuru and Amane are invited to move in with the Red Kamfers, for mutual defense and survival. Nothing could possibly be suspicious.....right????
Overall the two episodes add to the Kampfer universe and bring on more of the same hijinks from the full series. Still teen rateing, though the ecchi level is very high. I hope this is a bridge to being out a...
Hop on to new adventure
This Kampfer OVA made up of two episodes which the first story picks up the morning following the White Kampfer battle episode in the other Kampfer DVD set. The first OVA story deals with White Kampfer plot of revenge after what had happened the previous night and previous DVD set. Once again it up to Red and Blue Kampfers working together.
The 2nd OVA adventure deals with Natsuru starting to think like a girl and wanting an adorable bra that cost a bit more money. Natsuru takes a job at the Bunny girl cafe to afford the bra but when his male self goes on a double date the school student president has funny making Natsuru running back and fourth to the booth in both male Natsuru date form and female Natsuru waitress form.
An after-party that never should have happened
Not gonna lie -- "Kampfer: Fur Die Liebe" was a huge disappointment. The original 13-episode Kampfer TV series was no masterpiece, but it was a fun and capable little anime. It had a wacky premise, nice artwork, some decent action scenes, a lot of very funny awkwardness (romantic or otherwise), and an endearing cast. Natsuru, Akane, Suzuka, Mikoto, Sakura, and their gruesome stuffed-animal minions were loaded with personality, and getting to know them was a fun romp. The original also featured plenty of "fanservice," but it was dispensed evenly enough that it usually worked in conjunction with the plot (such as it was) and with the humor. Kampfer also managed to end on a fairly strong note, which is something that very few anime can boast. I was looking forward to this sequel, but... oy.
The problem is honestly the fanservice. I'm a straight dude who appreciates the stuff, but it's like cologne -- throw too much on, and everything starts to stink. The first of the two OVAs...
