Kampfer 5

Enter the school festival! Harassment is in order for Akane and Natsuru from their fans, for the contest preparations, more teasing by Shizuku, and the tension sprouting between Akane and Sakura for Natsuru. I really don't know if I should call him lucky or unlucky...

The really funny shit comes in the actual contest. Natsuru (female) is cosplaying as a prince and has no idea what to do for the skills part of the contest. Fortunately for her, Entrail Animals start flying out of nowhere and bride/Entrail Princess Sakura comes right in, proclaiming her love to prince Natsuru, even though they are sworn enemies! But what's this? Assassin Cowgirl Akane comes right in trying to split them and kill them both, but actually she just wants prince Natsuru's love! But the prince is actually a girl, OMG!
Ok, how did we get from a Miss Contest to a hollywood-esque touching story of love, drama and entrails that screams "BAKA!" like a tsukkomi? I have no idea. Be ready for anime references and killer jokes, for anyone planning to see the episode, because there are alot of those. Continuing the rampage now:
All seems lost for Entrail Princess Sakura. Assassin Akane has her in her sights, but fear not! The legendary Entrail Hero Sango Shizuku has come to save the day... by knocking everyone uncounscious with her daggers.

When Natsuru-kun next wakes up, he's in the student council office with Shizuku dressed in his male school uniform. Oh, and Shizuku makes it perfectly clear that she saved him from that mess, so, it would seem a thank you is in order. But that's not enough for her. What is enough? Stealing a kiss from Natsuru, leaving him with a very red and dumbstruck face.
On a side note: we could actually see her tongue for a second there.

This was the funnier episode until now, with its above average voice acting, awesome jokes, and dynamic and unique characters. And I feel better ones are to come. This might be my last post for some days, due to my exams coming up.

Kampfer 4

And things just got escalated again, much to Natsuru's dismay, and the pleasure of the viewers.
To start it off with a bang, he discovers that apparently, his female self is participating in the Miss Contest of his school! Care to tale a guess about who signed him up?
You guessed it, Miss sneaky manipulative student council president Shizuku-chan did. I really enjoy the way she toys woth Natsuru, saying that she determined that he must participate in order to "provide a fun school festival for everyone" ^^

Of course, lil 'ol boring Natsuru doesn't like fun, so he tells her he/she won't participate. Madam president agrees, on the account that Natsu-chan gives her a massage. What follows: suggestive broken dialogues pieces, close-ups of their faces that could be very misinterpreted, and brute Akane bursting through the door with a gun in her hands. Oh, and Natsuru's still going to participate in the contest anyways.
Soooo, what does this mean? Shopping time with shy Akane for the contest! Oh, and Shizuku and Sakura butting in, resulting in everyone going to karaoke, where all of the other girls declare they will also participate in the Miss Contest. xD

Kampfer is becoming some seriously funny shit, I'll have the next episode commented in a while.

Fullmetal Alchemist 29

This last episode was literally a collection of Crowning Moments of Awesomeness by multiple characters, which included Father stopping Ed and Al from using alchemy and defeating them just by stomping his foot, Ling demonstrating how deep his greed goes when he told Greed (the hommonculus) why he sought power and Scar pretty much destroying and blasting to pieces the gigantic room in which they all were with just stomp of his hand on the ground. Shame I couldn't find the time to write a full post.
So, in order to balance out episode 28's awesomeness, it's only correct that we get a less exciting episode next. It was good, and still had a bit of comedy snuck in.
Lan Fan and May getting all pumped up to fight each other because they're of different clans just to get interrupted by the doctor's threats was really funny. Also, Envy opening the door to the showers and entering just when Ed was nude was worthy of a post of its own. xD

Ed, Mustang and Al discover that Wrath has no problems in killing someone they know or threatening them in order to keep them in check. Of course, our heroes are not planning to give up so easily, and knowing how deep Father's plan goes gives them the ability to think of alternate ways to bypass the villains' watch on them.

For the next episode, the remembrance of the Ishbal war. Expect drama, bursting of contained feelings, and character past exploration.
