whut? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,416 Member No.: 6,453 Joined: Apr 2nd 2005 Location: ¯\(º_o)/¯ | BEN-TO In the world of Ben-To, only the strong deserve half-priced, discounted lunch boxes. To eat means you must fight and earn the prized, boxed meals. EPISODES @ http://www.animetake.com/anime/ben-to/ New show this season about (and I shit you not) battle royales for supermarket bento boxes the instant they get marked for special discounts Due to the nature of the show, there's naturally a lot of fighting with some humour sprinkled in every so often so I guess a proper classificaiton to go by is an action-comedy. It's a nice fun watch where you can just switch your brain off and go despite the ridiculous setting and subject matter it chooses |

GG is slightly faster but people seem to dislike GG in general, i dunno what team they have working on this so i can't say for sure but "you can't have faggots without GG" is something that i see get thrown around a lot lol. Not too sure how speed consistent EveTaku have been on their previous shows, but i think they do finish what they start sooner or later though. In the end i say GG for speed or EveTaku if speed isn't an issue. |

Damn premise sound soo ridiculous, but the Japs have made more awesome shows with less than that. Oh, and fun fact. The kanji for the number 10 can be read as 'To', so...

Shikkaku: I've been under my parents' care for fourteen years. GG: I was fond of Sega for 14. Lolwut. Which one is the correct one? I haven't started downloading yet. |

I finally know what the Japanese song in the supermarket means! I always hear that in Japanese food section in a supermarket I frequent! I went, 'Hey, that's the same song!' This post has been edited by Saint on Oct 17 2011, 11:26 PM | ||

This is probably the best way I've seen someone describe the show, except I'd say it's more typical shounen than crazy serious And while everyone's already seen the show I do have to admit that I was slightly disappointed the actual nature of the show wasn't as wacky as I initially thought it to be =/ Fanservice was a little off-putting for me as well, but then I remembered how much more tame it is when compared to other shows nowadays. Atleast it's restraining itself from pantyshots and constant clothing damage so far. Judging from things so far I don't think the fanservice would actually go that far though which hopefully ends up being a true prediction | ||

Rage Against The Light Group: Members Posts: 470 Member No.: 36,515 Joined: Oct 26th 2010 Location: Jakarta, ID | Probably this would end up as a light harem (under 5 girls)... We already have Ice Queen, Brunette, and the classmate. Plenty of males like Wizard, Goatee, and Monk, too... I don't think that crazy lesbian would end up with Saitou. ... I just jinxed it, did i?

---------- Just to add: After watching the show, I suddenly have that urge to buy a bentou at discounted price after 7pm. Lol. This post has been edited by Saint on Oct 25 2011, 11:17 PM | ||

Rage Against The Light Group: Members Posts: 470 Member No.: 36,515 Joined: Oct 26th 2010 Location: Jakarta, ID | Episode 4 is out and subbed. I guess this is the line, it starts to feel really generic now that the blond girl appeared. Still a bit outside the norm, the fanservice stayed pretty light (discounting the blond's thighs and topside of bewbs). |

whut? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,416 Member No.: 6,453 Joined: Apr 2nd 2005 Location: ¯\(º_o)/¯ | lol, as typical as this has may've become I still enjoy watching it. It's not like the show is trying to take itself seriously and plus it's been a while since I last watched a typical Shounen like this so I'll stick with it till the end. Plus I like watching Oshiroi and her various antics too eps6
