So, I raced back home from my office Christmas party and downloaded the latest sub of Kampfer ep 11, and I was flabbergasted by at least 20%.
This is the last episode, story-wise? Oh lawrd. Major spoilers are down. So if you haven't watched it yet, encouragements to watch are in order.
- So I noticed: all Kampfers have no parents around. They either are people who left, people who don't appear at the house to nag a daughter, or people who have long-distance jobs (such as Kaede's diplomat parents). Is that a prerequisite or what? ^_^
- Shizuku pilfered the Hiaburi Lion from Kaede's home back from episode 7. Basically blurted out the much-needed question: WHY.
They're proxy fighters for another battle. Basics - two galactic forces (Red, Blue) battle it out. Moderators are the referees. Neither side wins. So an idea got into play: have proxy female fighters in Earth to decide the outcome.
Lazy bastards. That's why you hate forces acting out as God in anime - they always get lazy at some point.
I have to read the last novel by 2010 - or get a nice synopsis. I don't think this would suffice for me anyway ^_^
- Shizuku now gets Natsuru in her bedroom. Sly girl, that's why you're my waifu ^_^
But Shizuku finally drops the sly visage and pleads Natsuru to help her plan. She's somewhat cute when she does that.
- And then, Natsuru does a stupid WHAT-THE-F**K-ARE-YOU-DOING moment - he willingly goes to the enemy territory. So Kaede exhibits some interesting powers. She can turn her eyes to bright gold, can enforce transformations, and can hypnotize THAT easily. Oh, and her inner side is lesbian. I like that.
- On the rooftop fighting, it's revealed the fighting aptitude of the White Kampfers combined is the same as Akane's. Average.
Oh, and I'd like to add - since they blush both at rewards and punishments Kaede can give them... is that some S&M shit they're insinuating? God I'd like to see an OVA of that ^_^ Or a multitude of doujins will do.
- Kaede can carry all weapon types, it is presumed. And her battle aptitude is the same as Shizuku's. And since Kaede kept referring to "Moderators"... it's laid to rest. She's the Moderator proxy, I think.
- Natsuru snaps out of the reverie with the slug trinket. Oh joy, love links. So Natsuru does the wise thing, finally. He loves Kaede, no questions asked. But if he's forced to choose between one lesbian and a threesome harem, he chose the threesome. Finally, a wise choice.
- Unexplainable - what's that power-up? Love power? Power boost from the Messengers? Level-up? No explanations. Flabbergasted percentage here. I mean, even the Messengers get in the mix - unnecessary, but for pushing the envelope, a bit OK. But it shows they upgrade the costume from school uniforms to sexy lingerie. Compensation accepted, yum yum ^_^
- Although defeated, Kaede still hopes to get female Natsuru someday. God, Natsuru, what a strange charisma you have as both genders.
- Natsuru gets harassed by the obviously infatuated ladies after "he chose them" over Kaede. Gets three kisses in a row, gets a free butt grope, a free breast grope, and Akane trying to get his hand between her legs. Later, two boob cushions and a crotch rub. What a lucky guy.
- The next episode is a bonus Christmas episode, yum, featuring the Messengers. Kinda weird preview, but looking forward to it.
Harem ending. Suffice to say, it's as rushed as you'd get it, but I like it nevertheless.
Hopefully we get a second season. Everything is unsettled, the Kiss Wars is still on, no one wins the Kampfer war yet, and no conclusions yet. Fingers crossed.
...
So that concludes the story of Kampfer. At least, for now.
It's been fun having Kampfer with you guys.
So, waiting for the Christmas side dish, called episode 12.
