I wonder how they'd deal with things if Asebi were to show up?

You don't deal with Asebi.




ASEBI DEALS WITH YOU.

Got around and watched ep10, which actually managed to get back and be a good episode.

Nothing really to say aside from that, although I now might have realized what problem the show has.

Spoiler:

It has way to many average at best characters.

Our tastes are way too different...

That may be the case, but that's the good thing about animes, everyone has different ones they like.

Even for me Asebi is ranked first in the character list (right now), but she's not a main character. They're lacking likeable characters which get a decent amount of on-screen time.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't think it's a bad show. It's just lacking at some points, which every anime does.

Seems like an odd comment. "This anime shares things that every anime has." Very insightful >_>

That's one thing we agree on...Not enough Asebi T_T

What I meant with that is even if you rate an anime with 10/10, it still has some things you don't like about it. It shouldn't be many though, otherwise a rating of 10/10 wouldn't make any sense.

Episode 11 was great ~

Spoiler:

Sadly...as I thought, Asebi will be the only character not to get her own episode T_T Unless this show is actually pulling a FULL season. Which, with a new introduction of a character, it COULD happen.

[myskaros]

The "next episode preview" specifically stated "last episode" unfortunately.

Considering how it turned out, this last arc seems considerably rushed. Introducing

Spoiler:

another boss character

in the last episode? I suppose if they had to fit everything into 12 episodes, it's unavoidable. But seriously, 20 minutes into the episode and

Spoiler:

all of a sudden "oh, we're supposed to pity Ortros?!"

and only 1 more episode to really resolve that, doesn't seem to have been planned out too well.

Ah, I didn't watch the preview yet....

Hopefully a second season will give us chance to get more depth on things. I'm still miffed that even Shiraume got her own episode but Asebi didn't...

[Shikan Raider]

Watched ep11, don't really have to say anything, just your typical Ben-To episode.

Spoiler:

I can't believe I'm saying this but, Shiraume actually did something good, by dragging Oshiroi into her car to prevent them from getting more on-screen time.

[SaturnineTenshi]

Finally loaded the episodes I had in my queue. Animes like Ben to always make me weary: my chance to experience anything like this has long passed. I doubt I would have, as my high school scene was hardly applicable on any front. Still, I find I'm already frowning over what-if's.

Anyhow, it's about what I expected. Going to finish off the remaining episodes tomorrow.

[Shikan Raider]

Kinda suprised no one has made a post so far. Anyway I watched ep12, I won't go into details though, not that I have much to say about the episode either. The ending is rather anticlimactic.

Rating time:

Animation: 7,5/10
Sound: 8/10
Story: 6/10
Characters: 5/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

Overall: 7/10

I thought this is just some stupid anime show. I'll take a peek when i have. Right now im watching detective conan.
