For a moment there I thought I was watching Final Fantasy or something. I never thought shopping baskets could be used in that manner.

Didn't enjoy this at all. The whole concept of this show, warrior societies battling over luncheon specials is cartoonish. Until this episode. This just felt ugly and drawn out. And slow motion sucks. They're starting to take themselves seriously and it really detracts from the show.

Suddenly we have super natural darkness powers (from baskets ? wtf...?)


I think it's just for style, it's not supposed to be real. You know, every character said that immediately after meeting the twins, darkness followed (as in, they got their asses royally kicked)...

The fight with Orthrus was really action packed but what was all that shadow basket stuff? Well not that the fights were realistic to begin with, but still. xD

I wonder if they're able to beat Orthrus together next week!

That doesn't prevent them from getting hated on before their inevitable defeat :p. Ex: Shounen protag team spouts self-righteous hypocritical nonsense>battle>victoryspeech>friendship.

At the very least Shaga and the other guy(the one who served under the monarch) seem to be taking it(as in the actions of the twins) a bit too seriously(as in wasn't a good fight the whole point) XD(because I'm obviously not taking this show seriously).

"Taking it too seriously" flew out the window during the first episode...

It seems like I've never encountered a pair of twins in anime I didn't hate, but these two might be the worst yet. Ugh. Can't stand them. Can't stand Ume, either, and I'm not a fan of the Witch. Really, I just like Sato, Oshiroi, and to a lesser extent, Shaga.

Good job.


Ice Witch got her ass kicked. Damn.

Iwasaki's score is great as always. With this episode, I'd say it was a return to form for Ben-To. More over-the-top fighting please.

well for one that isn't magic, in a way it's just special effects.

but seriously, so mush for pride and honour, anyone that bring arms to a brawl is a wimp in my boot, even it the arms are baskets. i may as well take a spiked bat into the fight. now thats out of my system, time to talk logic. but honestly if they just want a fight why don't the twins just pick a fight with a gang or something.

THAT BASKET WOULD BREAK! jumping off baskets? those thing can't even take a average kid standing on them, the store must invest a lot in their baskets. also, humans can't move that fast with or without baskets.

on a side note, i can't tell if their pervs, freaks, or just plain hentai.

When the whole fighting with baskets came into play this show lost its interest to me. I want to see more weapons being used not just baskets and chop-sticks. Wouldn't the twins be easy to fight if you broke the baskets? No more special powers then.

Why complain about bring arms? Wouldn't having training in martial arts be considered a weapon? Military training is. Training in martial arts is no different then training with a sword or gun. Just a different style.

So why don't they just take out one of the twins before the fight begins so it has to be one on one? That or drug one of them so they pass out during the fight. I also fail to see why they didn't try to split the twins up after seeing they fight together. I bet they can't fight solo.

I would also have loved to see someone toss a can of sleeping gas in during a fight and walk off with all the food :D. That would be one of the best scenes in a fighting anime ever. But no one is ever smart enough to think of the easiest way to win a WAR.

I actually kind of like the fact the main character in this action anime isn't really strong. Tho he does seem to beat those who he has no right being able to randomly.

Love the change in the OP to accommodate the twins.

Ben-to battles are always amazing to watch and this was no exception. Certainly an exciting episode compared to the last few eps.

The twins had such a dirty fighting style, double-team and using mini black holes. It was awful to see the Ice Witch lie beaten on the ground like that, they need some serious punishment.

OP change with the twins and second verse (?) was awesome XD
The twins are Orthrus (or however you spell it). I think them defeating the Ice Witch was really well done. After two no battle episodes, glad to have one. Using baskets? That's interesting :P Double teaming was quite awesome though :P
Kyou (the older one's) slip of the tongues are always amusing, only to have her sister correct her and such XD I do certainly like them a bit more after the battle. Wondering about the "blackness" a bit, but whatever :P
I guess they will start trying to "avenge" her (or at least Satou will) next episode ...? Two episodes to do it! :O

I don't know about baskets in Japan, but grocery baskets in the states are made of plastic, recycled plastic too, I'm more amazed with how the baskets did not break at all after a few seconds of the fight than the fight itself Lol

With that last fight I got the feeling that out 4 wolves were really suddenly weak, not that the twins were strong. The fight against Monarch seemed like a powerhouse vs another powerhouse, this episode was just a slaughter..

I was really enjoying the start of this series but its slowly getting more annoying with the female characters like Ume and the twins.

I can't say I can enjoy the twins fighting style entirely when I weight it against their awful personalities.

It may only be a 12 episode series but the lack of character development is disappointing.

not a big fan of having the twins as the final boss. Monarch had that aura about him, shame he wasn't used as the final boss.

I thought all the fights so far were well implemented, even considering how over-the-top it got.

now all this darkness from baskets? lmao, lmao, lmao.

Good thing they returned to bento-fighting again instead of focusing on the worst characters. But those twins really have a screw loose... they fight 2v1 and then complain that the other person is so weak? Like really? xD
