With the recent movie reviews, we finally get back to some normal anime series'. "Campione" is another one of those harem action/adventure animes that has ALWAYS caught my attention, especially the really good ones (kind of like "Freezing" and "Omamori Himari"). I don't really need to say much, if you'd usually watch this kind of anime, you would already know what to expect. However, "Campione" takes on an interesting concept about god slaying, putting a lot of mythical history into play, which can actually get pretty awesome at times. Plus, its got fan service, good, solid fan service. I mean, what's a harem without any? Its a pity this isn't as popular as it could be.

The anime has one opening song and one ending song, like most short animes do. The opening song is "Brave blade" by Megu Sakuragawa. Its not anything unique that I haven't heard before, but it gets the job done for an anime like this. Its got a slight epic feel to it, it synchs and fits well when played with the pretty good opening animations, so I do find myself grooving to it at times. The ending song is "Raise" by Yui Ogura, and while its not another one of those slow paced boring ending themes, Yui Ogura's super cute/lolicon voice just doesn't suit it very well in my opinion.
Rating: 8.0/10
Yeah its just another one of those tons of anime that I end up loving. I mean, its harem, harem with a good plot, story, fan service and action! Its bound to draw someone like me in! What's better than something with action and boobs? That's right, nothing. "Campione" takes us on a journey through slaying gods, and it has tons interesting situations that just draw so much interest. Each of the girl's background stories are pretty interesting, and they all contribute to the action in some way, so it doesn't make them feel useless. Plus, its another one of those shows that the main characters aren't completely WEAK and require a bunch of girls to protect his ass. At least its not that way. Its too bad that they didn't reveal more of the campiones though, because I was REALLY starting to get interested when they ended it.

"Campione" tells the tale of another high school kid, by the name of Kusanagi Godou. One day, he was sent to England to return a tablet that was in the possession of his grandfather. On the way, he was stopped by a young beauty by the name of Erica, and she claimed to be in an order of knights. She said that the tablet that Godou carried was dangerous, and indeed, weird stuff started happening on that very day. Huge monsters attacked, and a god by the name of Verethragna assaulted another god. With two gods battling it out, Godou decided that something had to be done...with the power of the tablet he wielded. With the help of Erica, Godou defeats the rouge god Verethragna, and earns the title of a Campione, a god slayer.
"Campione" is probably another anime that guys would love. Boobs and good old fashioned combat would draw many in already, but "Campione" really has an interesting touch to it, using mythical legends to make it all the more exciting. They could easily continue the series, as they really haven't introduced and or explained a whole bunch of stuff, but if they were to do a second season, I wouldn't mind one bit.
Peace.
