Kampfer 12

Xellos takes 400 points of life affirming damage

Summary: The Kampfers and their Entrails Animals switch bodies; the latter revel in their fleshy bodies and have a love-in with Kaede. Everyone has a Merry Christmas except the people trapped in the dolls' bodies. And possibly Mentar.

Long winded summary: Mommy Natsuru starts reading her daughter a story. Natsuru and Harakiri Tiger wake up to find they have switched bodies... with some changes. The latter proceeds to dress up in some really trashy clothes and, after binning Natsuru Tiger, goes galvanting in the streets. And is joined by the other Entrail Animals in their respective Kampfer bodies. They discover the pleasure having organs other than intestines; their intestines hot pot meal rapidly descends into chaos.

Unable to pay for their meal to the Class Committee Trio, they are made to perform in cosplay but enjoy it anyway. After completely disrobing on stage, they are rescued by Kaede who, like everyone else, thinks Natsuru is a different person because of the tiger ears, tail and different voice. Kaede feels they are like family and asks them for a date. They go to Entrails Land amusement park and enjoy its various macabre rides. The final attraction is a game which mainly involves nimbling Kaede but she runs off, feeling guilty for enjoying her harem. Her confession is heard by the Nun Class Committee trio and has to work off her sins in all kinds of odd jobs. But she rescued from her drudgery by the Entrail Kampfers who remembered her love for their doll forms.

They prepare to battle the Trio but their joy at being able to experience pain persuades the Trio that it is their loss. Saying goodbye and that they will always love her and can always meet Kaede again in another form, the four vanish as it starts snowing. Mommy Natsuru finishes reading the story and chats with Daddy Natsuru and Santa Kaede distributes Entrails Animals from the sky.

Reaction:

"..."

It's almost the studio was anticipating the response to the ending of Ep 11: "Senseless!? THIS IS KAMPFEEEEEER!!!!! Have some kimochi warui for everyone to chew on for the holidays! wwwwww"

Well, it was fun to see the Entrails Animals voice actresses having a riot. Yukari Tamura bullying Nana Mizuki is always good. Kaede's Entrails Animals mania, while not as AWSM as Bible Black Eyes Kaede, is always a treat for me.

  1. Haha ^_^

    Well, to quote what I wrote elsewhere already: I actually “liked” episode 12. Why? Because it was so obviously 100% silly self-parody that I couldn’t mind. I absolutely dreaded this after the preview from ep11, but I didn’t find myself angry, I was chuckling and actually laughing against my will.

    Will try to write a proper summary later, but for now the show will run under Marcel Reich-Ranicki’s famous quote “a good book is a book that doesn’t bore me”, and Kämpfer never did.

    A solid 8/10 overall.

    • I think the standout achievement of this show is how it never takes itself too seriously but somehow got some people to take it more seriously than was intended.

      Somehow Natsuru isn’t as potent a trap when Marina Inoue isn’t in the driving seat. But then Harakiri Tiger version also lacks the embarrassment that makes her so delicious.

  2. Loved the “beling alive is xyz” segments. And I think you hit it spot on, to echo ani-nouto’s sentiments.

  3. Watching episode 11, i felt that episode 12 would be just as epic as the 11th but i was horribly wrong :( Instead, i had to watch a stupid story about anything but christmas… Highly dissapointed in this episode… Now I’m wondering if they’ll ever get their bodies’ back or if they will ever kill Kaede! The only thing that amused my was seeing Natsuru (male form) with a mustache. Lol
