Ben To!

Postby vampko » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:56 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-To
While innocently reaching for some half-priced bento, Yō Satō finds himself beaten up on the floor of a supermarket. He soon learns that getting half-priced bento is an all-out brawl between students. Yō is invited to the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club by one of the top fighters, Sen Yarizui, in order to train to compete in these battles.

It's a really crazy show. You have to watch it to understand why it's a great show. Also, as of Episode 3, and much more so in Episode 4, the plot is beginning to rear it's head.

I'm glad someone else likes this show. It's getting good now too but still crazy.

Now while I may not fight other people per se, I do still go to the local supermart and perform somewhat covert operations to snag bentos at a steep discount myself :lol:

I love this show, one of my top 3 this season along with Ika Musume and Mirai Nikki.

Episode 5 was pretty interesting.
Spoiler:
Now it seems that Oshiroi might not actually be interested in Satou at all beyond material for her yaoi fiction.

And....Asebi Inoue is my new favorite character <3

I wonder where the plot will go? Looks like this Monarch guy got beat by that Macchan girl.


Definitely the series is still quite great :mrgreen:

Just saw episode 2.

What the hell was with those Rugby players? They looked like they were all forwards, that would spell disaster for a team. You need agile backs! Then of course you have people who are strong enough to be a forward and fast enough to be a back. It's those people that everybody fears and respects.

I don't like Oshiri as a love interest for Saitou. Sen is waaaaay better. XD

The Wizard is sooo awesome ~~

I agree ~

Sen is waaaaay better. Though, I am not so sure that Oshiroi actually likes Satou at all in that way. It's hard to tell.

I'm not sure if I want to ask, but if someone wants to, can they PM me a link to where they are watching it at.

Cannot find on Crunchy Roll or Hulu.


Thanks. I got around to watching the first five episodes. I really like this one.

SOOO....

I braved the hoards of fighters and suffered one black eye, a bruised rib, a broken finger, and numerous cuts and scrapes for dinner tonight.

Well, not really but I did snatch my meal right out from under an unsuspecting person :lol:

BEHOLD! MY 1/2 PRICE BENTO!

*insert drum-roll here*

It was rather delicious too! :D
