This is the list of episodes for the animated television series Kämpfer. The series aired on TBS on October 2, 2009 and ended on December 17 of the same year.
An 11 minute side story episode, Kämpfer Picture Drama, features the Entrails Animals Messengers discussing philosophical topics rather than following the story of the main characters.
A follow up series, titled Kämpfer für die Liebe (translated as Kämpfer for the Love) was released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 25, 2011. It has a total of only two episodes, and is labelled as Kämpfer episodes 13 and 14, rather than Kämpfer für die Liebe episodes 1 and 2, though is done as the latter here for clarification purposes.
All Kämpfer episodes carry a German name and a Japanese name. Listed episodes are shown with the episode title with Japanese characters where available followed by the same with Roman characters.

| Natsuru stops Akane from shooting Kaede and the attacker retreats when the school bell rings. Natsuru realizes that the enemy Kämpfer also goes to his school and becomes wary of the danger and stays cautious of the girls around him. He and Akane are interrogated by Sangou Shizuku, the student council president, about the incident that happened in the library. Natsuru promises to let Kaede meet the female Natsuru the next day, and Akane and their messengers suggest making Kaede hate the female Natsuru to dissuade her interest, but he fails to do so after she asks him out. Natsuru discovers that Shizuku is the enemy Kämpfer and he and Akane only barely manage to score a win in the ensuing battle against her. Natsuru makes a deal with Shizuku to let her go if she leaves Kaede alone. Noticing that rumours about the female Natsuru are circulating the school, Shizuku forces him to enroll into the girls' side of the school to keep the Kämpfers' anonymity. | |||||
