Kampfer tells the story of Natsuru Senou, a generic high school boy who one day wakes up as a not-so-generic girl. Add to that the fact that (s)he gets chosen to fight in the "Kampfer battles" with other girls - with either guns, swords or magic - and you get one promising recipe for a "school romantic comedy with bishoujo fighting" anime. The TV series, animated by Nomad based on Toshihiko Tsukiji's light novels, begain airing in Japan on October 2, 2009.
