Senou Natsuru is your normal, everyday high school student. However, he soon finds out that he´s been chosen to be a Kämpfer (German for “fighters”), whose objective consists of fighting other Kämpfer with either guns, swords or magic. However, there’s a couple of catches; you can’t chose if you’re a Kämpfer or not, and you must have the body of a girl in order to use your powers.

EDIT: Series is over, if anyone was interested in what this anime was like, here you go:
Story - 7/10 - Fairly original story, a boy gets a bracelet that turns him into a 'Kampfer' ('Fighter' in english), the big catch being in order to use his 'Kampfer power' he needs to turn into a girl. That brings on a whole different set of complications.
Comedy - 8/10 - There are quite a few laugh out loud moments in almost every episode. Some are over the top, however, and just cause me to roll my eyes. Anything involving one of the 'entrails animals', however, is sure to be comedic gold.
Romance - 6/10 - It's supposed to be one of the focuses of the series. It's obviously a harem anime, and quite a weird one... because two girls like Natsuru only as a boy, one likes him only as a girl, and one likes him both ways (but typically thinks about him as a boy). But Natsuru comes across as such a -weak- main character, it makes me wonder why any of them would be interested in him anyway. He's constantly whining and wondering 'what do I do? what do I do?' Except about the childhood friend that has the hots for him. There is ALWAYS the childhood friend. He just gets annoyed by her.
Animation - 7/10 - It's not spectacular but it doesn't completely suck either (there is only the occasional moment where I'm going 'huh?'), and the characters have the distinct 'fantasy anime' appearance. It's probably good enough for the average anime fan to enjoy, but I prefer more realistic looking animations, like Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon. Does animation like that only come with 'gritty' stories?
Ecchi Factor - 8/10 - It started slow and got bigger. There are no gratuitous shots or anything like that, but the main character turns into a girl and has the whole 'sailor moon-ish' thing going on (though 'her' uniform is surprisingly conservative). Occasionally there is a lot more 'bounce' added than would be otherwise necessary, and plenty of compromising positions. They actually kiss in this one. Starts about halfway through the series, and by the time you reach the end, you're left sitting there going 'dayum'.
Overall - 6/10 - It's another anime that's worth a watch to pass some time. The episodes like to go up and down in enjoyability to watch a lot, one can be excellent and hilarious, the next be boring as hell. It would be a much more entertaining watch if there was actually any -fighting- done in it, I mean, it is called 'Kampfer' for a reason, right? The series 'ends' with episode 11, which is a decent watch, because more 'fighting' happens in that ep alone than pretty near all the others combined. Ep 12 can be skipped. It's overloaded with lamesauce.
