The joke (mystery) is: skirt up? Or skirt down?

I should ask my friend, but I'd probably get slapped or punched.

Ok the first episode was hilarious.
Pretty nice comedy with fanservice. I didn't felt the first episode rushed or something like that.

Awesome cast!
And I must say Nakajima sounds pretty nice, I didn't got the Ranka-vibes I normaly get wen I heard her as Miku or Citron.

Akane is fun, she turns from "moe meganeko" to "hawt badass" and back again. Nicely done by Horie.

I will stick to it, I only hope this anime will it up like that.

Mentar · 2009-10-03, 06:49

Well, the change from "normal" to "Kämpfer" form is pretty funny with Akane

... good job from Hocchan. However, I'm pretty sure that the girl which is most interesting and enjoyable by far will be Shizuku. Ep2 will prove it. Harr!

SaintessHeart · 2009-10-03, 07:15

Wait...nobody finds that lesbian interesting?

Mizuno · 2009-10-03, 08:09

Lesbian? You mean... Sakura? I like the aggressive types.

So Akane is the spotlight of this episode.

But it will change as we are shown more of the student council prez as Mentar said.

Welcome to the 21th century.

Well at any rate Akane in Kamper form was my favourite character in the first episode. Though have to be a little careful since you never know when you might have a gun pointed at your head

. We'll see about the other characters as the series goes along.

i feel dirty watching this. haha. but its great, so i'll follow it through.

Silverwyrm · 2009-10-03, 17:14

I really liked Natsuru's female VA (sounded really girly which made it funny) but was rather disappointed in his male VA. For some reason in the manga I kinda imagined it more "manly" which made the transition funnier to me but he's really giving the feminine male impressions.

With that said, as an above poster said I also noticed the gender-bending is really just a gimmick, there doesn't really seem to be anything more to it than that.

Natsuru's voiced by Marina Inoue in both genders.

ah that explains it, though I don't know VA names at all (and usually wouldn't recognize them anyways >.>), it just doesn't fit the male for me, but eh I'm just one person

felix · 2009-10-03, 17:48

Nah, I hate that girly tone he has too; so doesn't fit.

GDB · 2009-10-03, 17:50

Only voices I didn't like were the dolls. I was expecting a King Bradley or Zaraki Kenpachi type voice for the tiger, but in the end we got something resembling an old lady.

Really? What makes you think that?

germanturkey · 2009-10-03, 19:07

yeah, i was a bit disappointed with his male voice as well. a bit too high and feminine for me. but Marina Inoue is a fantastic VA, so i'm not complaining. her female voice is fantastic.
