Ben-To

Ben-To – 12 (End) and Series Review

December 27, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Ben-To, reviews, Series Reviews
Comments (13)

For a series I really liked a lot for a long time, it’s amazing how little I cared about what happened in the final episode of Ben-To. I’m not sure just exactly where things went wrong with this series.  Having some experience with the half-priced bento wars at my local […] Read more

Satou may have lost his place in the OP sequence to Orthros, but at least the newest credited cast member is someone we can all agree on – Pocari Sweat. Seriously, that unfortunately named but delicious beverage is my life’s blood when I’m traveling in Japan.  It really does seem […] Read more

I knew the Sawagi Twins were wolves, and I knew there crazy  as a loon.  But I didn’t realize until this week that they were a true commando squad.  Excalibur! Ben-to is, without a doubt, the most irritating show of the season for me.  All of its missteps are so […] Read more

After three blessed weeks of almost none, we endure an episode dedicated almost entirely to Ume.  And it seems to have achieved the impossible – it made me hate her more. You don’t want to hear me go on and on about how awful a character Ume is, so this […] Read more

We’re back to full on WTF mode this week on Ben-To, and that’s a good thing.  This is a show that does much better with comedy than drama. After giving us a novel twist on the pool episode, Ben-To takes a crack at twins this week.  We caught a brief […] Read more

After hundreds of iterations you wouldn’t think anime could still find something new to offer in the pool episode, but credit where it’s due – Ben-To sort of did. This was a pretty good return to form for the series after what I thought were two overly serious and mediocre […] Read more

It seems as if the episodes where Ben-To is at its best are often the ones where it’s also at its worst.  By contrast it was neither this week, and the episode was undoubtedly the safest and most straightforward one so far. It was interesting just how much of a […] Read more

I don’t know about Ben-To, I really don’t.  It has the ability to make me love it, and then five minutes later make me hate it.  And I’m not sure I find that to be a pleasurable experience. If you follow discussions in places like Animesuki, you know there’s been […] Read more

I think we can say girls reading porn out loud is officially a trend in anime this season.  Not that I’m complaining. OP2: “Treasure!” 「オープニングテーマ」by IRIS The great Emiri Katou blew into Ben-To like a hurricane this week – Hurricana Shaga, in fact, complete with her own OP.  Say what […] Read more

I have nothing against plums, but when it comes to Ben-To there’s one rotten Ume that’s dangerously close to spoiling the whole tree. This is really a take of two characters for me.  So far I’ve loved very scene with Aoi Yuuki’s Oshiroi.  She’s delightfully weird and awkward, kinky and […] Read more
