Shocking! Less ecchi than I expected. Probably I won't watch the rest of the serie, but still...even funny. Strange and funny.
And I want that white hair girl's shoes! >.

The show was okay. I'll be giving it another episode but I doubt I'll follow it past that.

It was funny, but if you can't take randomness dont bother. Somehow it reminds me of Kore wa Zombie. 4,5/5

Yea, it was better than expected, since i was expecting 20 mins wasted on nothing. Worth a watch.

I wtf so many times because it make no sense especially how he almost got killed and still alive. Then for a second I thought that I'm watching the wrong anime.
I just end up laughing at everything.

One hell of crazy anime this season and I love it!

I'm actually glad it's not panties al around. I think this has an original input to the reasons for fighting and I kind of enjoyed the first episode.
That said, I have a thing for stockings, so I like this better anyway :P

As expected of Taku Iwasaki, stealing from the best. Almost as cool as that time Yoko Kanno copied Tom Waits' Midtown.
I hope he takes the track in a cool new direction after the half a minute I could hear at 12:20.

OK, I'll admit I haven't watched as much anime as some people in this very thread but...

This has to be one of the most retarded, most confusing, most ridiculous piece of shit episode 1 I have ever seen!

Nothing makes sense, and I really don't care if this anime eventually improves or god forbid they actually explain what the fuck is going on.


Worst anime of the season by far Dropped!

Ironic, since you have Hidan No Aria in your favourite list. I also love how many of the people who hate this are the same people who love Bleach, etc.

And people don't seem to get that this show actually has elements of parody in it. Come on: Do you really take THIS setup for serious? It's a comedy parodying harem and Shounen elements, while actually having better choerographies than most other action shows this year. and it's certainly better than Sacred Seven, Hidan No Aria and all the other stuff we have that has just as much as a ridiculous plot but takes itself dead-serious. And people who love that stuff are the true idiots, because it's them who make the industry what it is today.

I can understand where you're coming from since the main character had to try to reconstruct what happened to him from all his injuries. Plus the premise is kind of ridiculous. I also see that you hated Evangelion but loved Stein's Gate, both which don't explain everything in the first episode. But a lot of anime introduces the characters and setting but leave a whole lot unanswered. If you gave the other anime you dropped, such as FLCL a couple more episodes before dropping them, it might be good to watch at least till episode two or three before deciding to drop it. No worries though, more important things than missing out on an anime.

That class rep is the most despicable type of non-antagonist female character for me. Makes me wish Sato would slap her back. Hopefully she becomes a dog to get closer to her friend and get her ass whooped.

I can't believe I wasted over 20 minutes to watch this. The only reason I haven't dropped this anime yet is my major stockings fetish...

At the very end of the episode I understood the plot. What seemed like random events at first turned out to be exactly that - random events. People fighting over half-priced bento's.

So far so good. It's ridiculous but it's fun and awesome, should be a nice ride. I don't like the seiyū who voices the MC but the character itself seems to be okay for now. 4/5.

LOL wow this was not what I expected at all XD LOVE the OP but the ED is just OK. The whole fighting for half-price bentos is crazy enough that I'll probably watch more of this :P
Anyway, the main guy is ... weird XD I actually love Oshiroi (glasses girl) but I don't like our senpai (whose name I've forgotten now), she seems like many other characters I hate so far (Eu, Kanade). The brown-haired girl and class rep Ume seem interesting as well (and what's up with that glasses guy?! LOL O_O). We'll see what happens I suppose :P Surprised to find a few voices recognizable though, even if I didn't think it was them :P

It's a fucking parody of battle shounen.
Also if any of you actually live on your own, you should probably know first hand that this type of thing actually happens with discount food.


Haha you got that right! I found this to be quite enjoyable actually. I love parody anime; the more ridiculous the premise the better!

So this first episode is about a bunch of "Wolves"(More like uncivilized apes if you get what I'm saying) fighting over half-off food. I'm sorry but what the fuck. Not only are the characters notoriously bland, but the whole premise sounds like a half-assed piece of shit. I mean sure, anime is running out of ideas these days but this isn't even being original, this is smoking weed then producing the worst shit they could come up with. Put in bland characters in yet another school background with terrible plot -> GENIUS. The OP and ED have horrible music and some low quality cg. In the end, I'm left thinking like this: What is the point of this show. Trying to be funny? Not even close. At least try to serve your purpose. What I should've done in the first place after reading the synopsis was immediately go delete my browsing history and cache and then shoot myself in the brain hoping I lose all memories of such a fucking horrible excuse of an anime. Eiken was a thousand times better than this. I'd say this is on par with Mars of Destruction, but Mars of Destruction is funny for what it does. This is excruciating...

I think I got my point across?

Gosh how can you people live with yourselves? This is clearly a parody of the famous movie fight club (or something close to it...). The setting is arguably strange, but it's a heck of a lot better than most school series. Having a fighting area in a super market..I kinda like it. You guys are searching for flaws.
