That is some wish ya got there.
This week was a bountiful feast of Shizuku goodness that ought to make Calawain a most happy lawyer, and to be sure I admire her because she is clever and inventive. For now Shizuku has done a wonderful job of making sure that Natsuru Girl-type is the default mode with entering Natsuru into the beauty contest, as increasing popularity means much more hostility to Natsuru the Boy-type who will be assassinated by legions of fangirls and fanboys. But first she had a little bit of fun while telling us of her dreams of becoming a comedian, should she succeed as I am confident that she shall, then her humor will be most black. At any rateShizuku is most adept at this seduction thing, I have not the words to describe so I shall let Calawain sing praise to Shizuku. It is most telling how no one seems to take Natsuru’s assertions that she is guy seriously. Even Akane calls Natsuru a pussy and a chicken. While Normal Akane has a ways to go Kampfer Akane is awesome I just love it when she curses and insults Natsuru. I give her more credit for gunning for the alleged cheater than the other woman as lesser girls often do. Shizuku goes even further and declares that Natsuru’s humiliation at her hands would only cover the damages that Akane caused, as they were after all partners…
At a loss for what to do for the contest Akane tries to make Natsuru Girl-type sing anime songs, but first they need to purchase proper attire as the school uniform simply would no cut it. They then agree to go shopping and singing, In regards to this almost date it seems thatNatsuru is as thick as Kana and Kyoko when it comes to love, nevertheless Akane makes the most of the opportunity to doll up Natsuru Girl-type. I am sure Kuroko would approve. In the end Shizuku had her fun and it seems Akane’s mission to make Natsuru Girl-type into panther with fish net stockings ended in tragic failure. Combined with the sub par karaoke it seems that Shizuku mocked me with her Hiromi persona, as she sang about, lines someone else drew as not being absolute (clearly a jab at Shinichiro’s written confession to Noe), removing self imposed limits, and randomly taking off her shirt. I wept True Tears of hot rage when I realized what was going on.Sakura being egotistical as ever sang of her time as Ranka, I suppose the cessation of hostilities will not be soon as Ranka is as arrogant as ever when she told Shizuku that she would win despite the strong competition. The winner of the singing contest was clearly Akane as she had more sparkles. While we have yet to meet this Mikoto it seems that she is pretty damn awesome for she is a fan of Fire Bomber and Sheryl Nome, perhaps she is a mechatard as well. Sadly Shizuku was unable to humiliate Natsuru Girl-type and have her sing in a cute voice, but I suppose that will come next week at the culture festival. I hope there Akane will protect the feeling of love in Natsuru Girl-type and turn Sakura into a honey comb.
This series might be garbage, but it is so much fun. I quite enjoyed the BIG FIGHT between Akane and Sakura as Akane was standing up to that bitch. The Macross Reference was just gravy. The show pokes fun at a lot of anime tropes and I very much like the nerdy references though they are obtuse. Besides it is plenty yurilicious enough as is. Still that song about Hiromi’s triumph was rather hard to swallow, Shizuku is indeed a most fearsome master troll.
Calawain’s Crossdressing Corner
As Crusader mentioned, I love Shizuku. Obviously not as a shipping with Natsuru or anything like that (Akane fills the obvious part there), but because she’s delicious. That sultry, teasing woman who acts beyond her years I just find really appealing. Everyone else just wants to jump in Natsuru’s pants, she’s just enjoying screwing with him and everyone else for her own amusement. Once again the episode had no plot, but it was probably the best episode so far because of Shizuku’s manipulations of everyone. Highly entertaining.
Screen Caps
In Soviet Union contest enter you!
Yes a guy…sure you are and I am a Godless Communist that has forsaken Almighty Zeus.
Not to mention Shizuku-san…
But Madame President she lacks the will to abuse her powers.
Oh wow.
Oh YEAH.
Oh…
Nat-chan sounds way too proud of this fact.
Oh she’s a clever one.
Haha I like Shizuku’s sarcasm.
Praise be to funny girls, Alphard onee-sama approves of thee!
I admire her desire for an honest profession.
Wait she’s been snacking on Doritos too?
Oh my…
…
I think if you were a guy you’d have kept going.
Halt! President for Life Shizuku is not done with you yet…
Sounds delicious.
I like where this is going.
Oh but Shizuku-sama only sees a girl in need of love.
We must work on that one man entry of yours Akane.
Well at least there were no blue on blue casualties.
Hehe good luck finding one.
Ah so Akane wants to be the onee-sama.
Consensual is good.
Akane knows Nat-chan far too well.
Notice how no one treats Natsuru like a guy.
Hehe wonderful choice of words.
Oh Natsuru Girl-type, when in doubt lie.
Akane is a smart one she’d roast the cheater before the other woman.
Bad Pun GET!
Ah yes Akane can see it now, if only we could peer into her mind.
Wow even when in normal form Akane is the one wearing the pants.
Akane, opportunity is a knocking…
As Zeus intended.
…
CHANCE!
We need to work on that greeting of yours Nat-chan, it is most unladylike.
But of course…
Way to man up there Natsuru.
Take heart Akane for you can think for the both of you.
Akane you don’t have it that bad, certainly you are no loli.
Ah yes LET”S BE FRIENDLY.
So that’s how they work…
So who’s up for a three way?.
Oh Fuck…
Nah Shizuku is just a troll.
Please note that your claim to masculinity depends on your choice of song.
Shizuku is so delightful.
Man even the stuffed animals have declared Natsuru Boy-type to be dead.
Oh a Nyan Nyan Service Melody?
Hiromi be trolling me again…
Oh Ranka if only you were more than that.
Oh Akane you may win thins one but I think you should have gone with THE WINNER.
Pwned! Mwhahaha take that Hiromi and Ranka! How does it feel to lose to Ayu Ayu?
I like that senitment.
Ah a fellow Fire Bomber and Sheryl Fan.
That is an innovative way to make you LISTEN TO HER SONG!
If only those three believed in teamwork..
I see Ranka has learned her lesson…In Soviet Kampfer Ranka chases you!
Come on Kana be the BOSS.
To be honest I do dread every time she reverts to a guy.
What isn’t she doing?
Smile for the camera.
Shizuku wants you to beg…
Uh oh…
Ah so you do feel a disturbance in the yuri.
I think that’s her default voice.
Friends, freinds with benefits.
Your underhanded tactics will not avail you Follower of Minmay!
I have to say I still think you lose out to the blue haired one, pray she doesn’t use a red string to tie her hair…
Trolling again?
It got a whole lot interesting.
Bah Hiromi wins in the end…again.

prior to this episode, akane was my favorite. but shizuku-sama has dethroned you her after this episode.
i also like how they didn’t resort to cheap panty shots (although there was some obligatory cleavage) for good fan-service, instead using shizuku’s teasing and kaori nazuka’s sexy voice for much more effective service.
great review!, fun episode i still like Akane but Shizuku is 2nd for me anyway lol.
Next to the childish bickering of Akane and Kaede, Shizuku’s controlled minx mode is just all the more alluring. I mean, just look at her eyes throughout all the screenshots, she’s having a blast and needs to control her inner laughter.
She’s smarter than the entire rest combined, at least as well-endowed and extremely playful, particularly with her toyfriend (who is still completely scared of her ^_^)
Looking forward to more Shizuku goodness!
Well that was a quite surprise in reaction of Shizuku at the beginning of the episode so far she seemed like she don’t care…But still seeing red haired Akane in action is the best but yeah evil plotting,manipulating,abusing,teasing Shizuku is fun too.
Anyway I was sure that this kind of episode would show up and it don’t seem that there will be any progression in plot in next episode but at least it’s fun ^^
I wonder how many episode will Kampfer have and in which will star somthing happening cos I liked those battles at the beginning. ><
OH and I know there are lot of show running right now,I just wanted to asked if there won't be any reviews on Kiddy Girl-and-
well, it’s all about Hiromi. here, and EVERYWHERE.
@CMac
It seems that Akane, Shizuku, and Sakura give out much less than Natsuru Girl-type and for now there has yet to be any pantsu at all.
I still like Akane for her love is deep and she talks like a sailor.
@foshizzel
Shizuku is a very strong second, but let’s wait and see how Mikoto turns out.
@Mentar
Shizuku will have much more fun in the coming weeks…it is good to be President For Life, yes?
@Emperor
Supposedly next week is when Mikoto gets back, but it will probably be at the tail end of it. Given how seemingly weak the plot is I hope they maintain the spirit that makes this series fun to watch.
@gt
Oh don’t you start…
Akane is definitely still my favourite.
Mikoto’s definitely second right now, JUST from those postcards.
Didn’t like this episode much at some point I started staring at the channel’s logo trying to remember what animes I’ve watched before on this channel (00?) but anyway crusader man I miss YOUR commentaries hope next week you’ll be doing them
@ToastCrust
Amazing how we have heard so much of her yet seen so little. May Mikoto prove to be a mechatard.
@Gmoney
I have been at this since Day one, hopefully next week things will be spot on for you.
If only Sakura weren’t so selfish and not want Natsuru-chan for herself. I mean, at least Akane and Shizuku were fine with a three way.
@d3v
If only she was less clingy, that much about her has not changed…
So… why is she Hiromi again? Same voice actor?
Yep
Shizuku really is an amazing character. I feel bad for the others since they can’t match up to her and just end up being manipulated. Too bad for her though that lines like “So I was your first?” went completely over Natsuru’s head so there was no real reaction to them.
I think Natsuru’s “I’m a guy” excuse was getting more misplaced as the episode continued. How is a kiss with Shizuku wrong because your a guy?
Akane is still my favourite character in this series though. It’s just fun when she goes Kampfer. Definitely right that she goes after her partner. “Leave your excuses for when you reach Valhalla” haha. Of course she’s probably also taking the smart road in that she can probably take out Natsuru but going after Shizuku is dangerous. Agree that Akane will have to do the thinking in that relationship.
Did a nice job of capturing the thoughts of people when Sakura showed up in the episode. It just figures Sakura would choose the song she did with those lines. Talk about going counter to who she is.
That festival should be a lot of fun.
@FlareKnight
Natsuru’s claim to masculinity is not long for this world… but Akane will always love her so long as Natsuru keeps her wayward ways to a minimum.
Supposedly Mikoto should be arriving soon then things will get much more interesting as she might prove to be a worthy adversary for Akane.
Akane’s cursing is delightful to my sailor sensibilities, always cursing at everything imaginable. At least Akane gave Natsuru the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions it was only after the one grain of truth came out that Akane got mad.
I loved Kampfer it’s another really awesome anime I really miss it however it seems like the manga was still on-going last I checked however the anime had seemingly been canceled or something(not entirely sure but they didn’t seem to be adding new episodes) It needed to last longer! I would like to see more episodes eventually to be honest.

[...] favourite character is Shizuku. At first my reaction was 'WRY?' as she is not all that gay but extrapolating [...]
