Mogami-kun said: What an awful and unsatisfying ending. Ice Witch didn't get the chance to fight the twins again, and they were defeated off-screen by...some magical ass pull they don't even bother coming up with. Absolutely horrible. The only redeeming part was Yarizui and Satou eating the bento. 2/5. The show had a good start, but between introducing unnecessary characters while the important ones got sidelined and giving unsatisfying conclusions to the two arcs, it spiraled downward quickly. 6/10, I don't regret watching it, but it could have been so much better. completely agree with this. It's a solid series. I thought it was a great show at the beginning. It had so much potential because I loved the fights and the whole stupid story behind them, but the characters that were not associated with the fights were mostly annoying (I count Oshiroi here as well because frankly she wasn't fighting and her whole story while funny at the beginning got bland pretty quickly). gave the show a 6/10 as well. It entertained me but there were parts that were simply a chore to watch. |

| Wow, truly GODLIKE anime. Honestly managed to make me laugh out loud so many times, and the anime tropes and cliches for once didn't get in the way. Usually, an anime derails in the second half as it falls to anime cliches and the girl characters doing annoying things, but nah; the characters were full of surprises, the comedy was always the main focus, and the action was solid as usual. Yeah I would have liked to see the final battle, but considering that there was already a fight going on; seeing Hercules fight was AMAZING, I was satisfied. If anything, it would've just been a repeat of their usual putting baskets over people's heads thing. So the fact that it showed them beaten afterwards was a good balance, showing that like every other character no one is invincible. And that's what I liked about this anime; EVERY character got defeated at least once, even Ice Witch. It kept that weird balance between serious shounen anime and absurd comedy anime from start to finish, so it never felt like things would go cliche for long since some comedy or random element would come along to mix it up. Besides, it would've been worse if it left the viewers hanging and showed everybody else beaten up instead, I would've been annoyed at that (even though that's probably what should have happened, considering how powerful those two were implied to be). Still, I love this anime. Genuinely made me laugh, for once I liked the placid main love interest more than the hot headed tsundere, the action was shockingly good and the premise was silly but memorable. 10/10 from me, for being one of the few modern animes I've seen to actually entertain and stick to its purpose all the way through, without falling to overdone anime cliches like SO many animes have done recently. Great anime |

| The tempo in this episode was all over the place. It started out with the first 2/3 of the episode being spent slowly building up suspense for the final confrontation, but then the last 1/3 of the episode goes by extremely fast and instantly dispenses all of the suspense that had been building up. Someone's stomach growls and then suddenly everyone else in the store hears their own stomach growl too, and somehow that makes them all simultaneously change their mind about the whole thing and fight for the bento. Hercules reacts by joining the fight too, except he doesn't even put up a fight, and he gets knocked out in what felt like a mere 5 seconds. A brief shot of the twins fighting is shown, and then suddenly *black screen* and the fight is now over. The ending just felt way too rushed. That final scene at the end where Satou ate the bento with Yarizui was great though. 8/10 from me. It was a nice surprise, considering I wasn't initially expecting much from it. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Not a bad finale IMO, I'm glad everyone (apart from Heracles, of course) got on in the end, the last scene with Satou and Yarizui eating the bento was nice and what we did see of the final brawl was good. However I really did want to see more of that brawl, especially how the Kyou twins were beaten. Also would've been nice if Heracles could've been stronger. I appreciate his tactic was just to stop the Kyou twins from taking part, but with his whole "I'll show you my title's not just for show!" deal, he ought to have lasted longer than 15 seconds or so, really, regardless of how strong the others may have become. Having said that, I have enjoyed this series on the whole. Fun fight scenes, enjoyable characters, a catchy OP and plenty of great humour. I would've liked to see more of that final fight and also some back-story on just where the Kyou twins got their 'darkness powers' from, as I shall call them, but I certainly don't regret finishing the series. Overall, a fun show to watch. A solid 7/10 from me. :) |
| "Get chance and luck!" |
| Damn nice ending for this series and to be honest I really enjoyed this even if this concept might be rather silly on first glance! Just the development in both story and character was amazing and almost every episode had an unique touch with great action packed together! All by all a really lovely anime in general! 8/10 |
 |
| Brunette's face! All in all, it was a quite nice series. |
| I laugh so hard at first because of 'bento deathmatch' settings but didnt expect its quite enjoyable.. Too bad wizard is my fav char, but i only saw him fight once.. |
 |
| It was a good ending. Although we didn't see all of the fight it made me think that although it was clearly a battle that would go down in history against Orthros it wasn't truly the end and they carried on fighting the next day. So long as their stomachs grumbled there would always be another fight. Hah, Oshiroi still got a bento although I'm not sure I agree with that considering it was such an important fight. I still wish she'd been more of a fighter in the series but she worked well. I wish I'd seen more of Asebi Inoue rather than just that last shot of her in the end credits with her head stuck in a door of all things! Anyway, pretty great series. Wish there had been more development in some places, and way less Ume. |
 |
| And after what I type on previous episode discussion about Brunette's face... So-so ending because this episode does feel rushed. I agree the artwork is somewhat weaker compared to previous episodes. Apparently they were not going 'saving budget for last episode' tradition, and that made me drop the rating. 7/10 from original 8/10. |
| Certainly an anime that excelled in everything it tried to do, however it somehow wasn't my cup of tea. I found it slightly less entertaining than Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? Excuse my score of 6/10, it's simply a personal preference. But at least I know exactly what I'm going to go buy when I do visit Japan. Bento all the way. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Well i must say that this anime is such an awesome one the fights,the battles,pride,being proud ETC. 10/10 for me... I was hoping that this would be longer but ohhh well it was really enjoyable... |
 |
| He.. interesting anime, the fight was well done, the "pride" they wanted to keep was nice too. And overall an interesting and unique anime. 8/10. |
 |
| It was surprisingly good. |
 |
| The only thing I didn't like was that the Ice Witch didn't get to redeem herself. But in the end the anime was about the Hentai I guess. |
 |
| I was pleasantly surprised by this series. It took some real talent to make such an absurd concept work; there are many ways that it could have gone horribly wrong. It is a great parody of the numerous fighting series (which I generally find tiresome), and it even manages to have a real story to tell. The ending wrapped it up nicely; the series feels complete, and I don't see a compelling need for it to continue from this point. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| silly plot but entertaining, just some girls are annoying |
| Pretty enjoyable series. I can't rate it too high because I don't think there's enough substance to this anime, but it's a fun little enjoyable series for what it is. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| All the 12 episodes of Ben-to were so entertaining, I really really enjoyed it. It had plenty of action, funny moments, ecchi as well (it made me really suprised) and on the contrary of others I found every episode reasonably built-up. 10 bento out of 10. As I ended with the last episode I felt like I have finished a satisfying meal. The only "spice" that I missed was the romance. |
| I actually agree with Hercules' strategy; why play with OP characters? :( - show was pretty good but started to go on a bit of a decline near the end - wtf happened to Oshiroi? she stopped participating in the wolf fights? - wtf is up with Ume, weird ass girl from beginning to end; one trick pony status |
| so...even after defeating the Twins..Satou did'nt gave up his humbleness and respect for The Ice Witch..that's what I liked the most as an ending.. -A Great Show Indeed |
 |
| not the strongest ending but i can't complain damn it still no kisses kinda sux that they skipped the final fight, well i guess once hercules is out there isnt much to see but kinda hard to believe how satou went from total loser in ep1 to a total badass in the finale (he lost to ice witch and orthuros, then ice witch lost to orthuros, then he somehow wins against orthuros o_O?) 7.5/10 could use moar |
  |
| That was fantastic! The OP and ED songs are both very sentimental about main theme of the story ;) Enjoyed a lot! |

| Can't say I understand why people think so highly of this anime. The premise is really silly and the fan service doesn't add anything. This last episode didn't feel like a finale and more of just another episode. I want some closure at least, but nope. No big fight scene, we don't get to see the twins lose, and the main characters don't really progress anywhere. Just a silly show about people fighting for half-priced bento. One positive for me though is at least there were some funny moments. 6/10 Nothing special. It is what it is it. |
| I wish they would have shown the entire fight at the end, but overall great ending, awesome characters and series. 8 out of 10 rating |
| For me it was a fun concept with just one bad episode to ignore. It was sort of like eating potato chips....a nice snack in a small amount with nothing important inside. Just a basic 7/10 for being lighthearted and watch worthy. |
 |
| Can't fuck believe!!! This final episode was REALLY, REALLY disappointing!!! Worst episode. So dull. They skipped the final fight. Even the cliche about the senpai showing up there for the fight would have been better. |

| Weak ending. They didn't even bother to show us their fights. Still surprisingly good to watch as a whole. 7/10 |

| The bento parts of this show had really awesome action and was a sharp parody and I loved those sections but the rest was really brought down by all the useless fan service and dumb comedy. 7/10 |
 |
| Was inclined to deduct a point for the (yuri) filler of episodes 8 and 9, but a full point'd be too much really, so as MAL doesn't do half points: this show,... lùùùùcckyy. 8/10 Really liked the show, the voice acting for Yarizui, and how they handled the relationship between her and Satou. kingscounty said: - wtf happened to Oshiroi? she stopped participating in the wolf fights? She never did, she always had been a scavenger. |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| Ending was kinda..meh Too bad they didn't show the final clash between them to sum it up: Anime is good, Music is very good (Opening especially) 7/10 , wouldn't mind a second season |
 |
| So that Herakles guy was actually not that strong, he just beat them by not fighting them. I'm not even mad that they didn't show the fight, I mean the fighting was always quite generic and not the fun part about the show. Overall I'm surprised how good this was, definitely expected way less. Apart from Oshiroi and Shiraume I liked pretty much all the characters and the promise was just very unique. Also had a lot of funny scenes, great fanservice by Ayame and it didn't take itself too seriously. 8/10 |
| the only thing i didnt like was Ume NEVER got her comeuppance...but at least we finally got to see busty brunette's face |
| Very sad this is only one season. I'd love to see more brawls. Still a very good series! |
 |
| While Hercules was an asshole, he was right. The wolves most likely got fed up with their nasty attitude. That they think of themselves as the victims only reinforces it. But it's not bad that Yō and the others beat them in a fair fight and reconciled afterwards. Thumbs up for him bringing Sen the eel bento. As she said, it's not good to leave a girl (or anyone for that matter) hanging. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| I hope this get a second season! |
| This anime on its premise & very idea is so stupid but the execution & the amount of detail makes this anime so much fun to watch! 8/10 |
