The 2009 ecchi comedy Kämpfer has arrived on HIDIVE, complete with both English dub and subtitled options. The series follows Natsuru, a high school boy who wakes up one morning inexplicably transformed into a girl and is tasked by a talking stuffed tiger to fight other magical girls as a "Kampfer."
Produced by Studio Nomad, the anime adapts the manga of the same name and leans heavily into its gender-bending premise, harem elements, and magical girl tropes. While Natsuru grapples with his new feminine form and the battles he's forced into, his childhood friend harbors a secret crush on his altered self.
The 12-episode series offers a complete story arc, making it a straightforward binge for fans of comedic, fan-service-heavy anime with a touch of urban fantasy and school life.
