Kampfer, Episodes 8-9: I Need A New Keyboard

kampfer89

I know Crusader asked me to post in his absence, and I really wanted to, I did. But every time I sat there and told myself to do the blog post I couldn’t contain the rage, it all just bubbled up the surface like on some MS paint-inspired animated gif. Natsuru’s character type is a cancer upon anime these days: the wet noodle, milquetoast, dense male lead that is especially prevalent in harem shows. The fact that side characters comment at how dense he is on a regular basis doesn’t mitigate this atrocity. That kind of guy ranks right up there with melodramatic emo characters in my hall of shame. So yeah, fuck you Natsuru.

    you are so right. i wanted to kill something after the most recent episode. not to mention that Sakura is probably the worst female protagonist in a season or two.

      The way it’s shaping up, she looks more like an antagonist than anything.

    Yeah, Natsuru is becoming a hated character these last few episodes. I think Sakura is the only character I like less than him right now. But then again, I guess the main reason I hate him is the way he treats Shizuku despite all she’s done for him.

    Surprisingly more harem shows lately have had decisive and mature male leads, but I guess the old ‘one step forward two steps back’ still rings true.

    Yet when he’s in female form, all is forgiven.

    I don’t like male Natsuru. He should just stay female, but then Shizuku would be unhappy about it.

    Shizuku 3, everyone else 0…

    Although Flying Kick Mikoto deserves an honorable mention, don’t chew that pillow, plenty of guys out there that would appreciate your brand of genki curry cooking and swordfighting skills…

    I RAEG at male Natsuru’s brain damaged pathetic existence…

    Actually, it’s the opposite. The last 2 eps were awesome – definitely the best of the show, Calawain is just a lazy bum ;)

    What Mentar said is ture. I’m very much anticipating that episode 10 is also going to be very enjoyable too!

    It’ was horror to watch 8th episode. Almost every few second it was like ” what and idiot, omg” , I mean poor Shiziku, that idiot doesn’t even deserve to be near her.How can he resist such elegance,intellect,beauty,charm – he is gay no doubt it. Than comes the question what she sees on him heh : | ? An after these last words “Man, I don’t get it” = 100% fucktard. …and than 9th episode at the pool there comes the goddess in black bikini and all he sees is bitch sakura… So words can’t expess my hatred and how bad it all is , but if I could be there meine Fuss wurde ins seiner Gesicht geendet !!! … ok my uber german language skill ><

    i love the last two eps. im certain im one of those few who dosent hate sakura. in fact i agree with natsuru on her being the most attractive. her recent change of personalities adds to that. and one of those few who prefers male natsuru over female. i just think that the female is being a bigger pushover than the male, since he is the more unpopular one. i actually like how hes only loyal to one girl. if only this show is more angst

    @annnd

    Not sure you can call it loyalty when the guy won’t even admit to himself that all the non-Sakura girls want him as well (ex. STILL won’t admit that Shizuku might have a thing for him).

      i do think its loyalty because 99% of his attraction is towards sakura. he didnt even notice the other girls n their swimsuits and the episode showing the insides of his brain are all sakura cells lol. minus that 1% akane cell xD. he dosent admit to himself is because he’s just too dense to to even realize the girls have a thing for him.
