Ben-To is a show that has been fun to watch from beginning to end. Making little sense to my picture of British shopping, Ben-To is a welcome breath of fresh air and has won my heart and stomachs. The plot is relatively easy to follow and can be viewed casually and even though character relations can range from frustrating to the questionable and even queasy.

This show was hard to watch because I'm a Student (Student's will all understand when I say this). With such a variety of tasty looking food and the comedy to follow this show has made it's way into my personal favourites ... because it leaves a feeling when it ends that you want the show to go on but at the same time you know that it might get ruined and as such better not risk ruining such a good show.

All in all the show pretty much nailed it when it comes to what it set out to be. The only downfall is that the show abruptly ends when you've just bonded with the characters which I would view as a shame but none the less, great fun to watch. Here's a Recommendation!

Though fan service is one of the main complaints about show, considering that the show is an echii title. The Plot is nice and fun to follow though it's frustrating at times due to the suspense that is built up to a wholly anticlimactic peak. This however is not a 'major' let down because there was never a promise though genre that told of breath taking writing to steal your heart away. The real deal is more on the large breasted women, as what can feel completely ridiculous so much so that it becomes a joke in itself and the outrageous fighting in a school ... lifde environment. Now it may sound like repetition but I think that it should have been allowed to be a 24 episode show to give the plot time to breath and make some parts of it less arbitrary.

All in all however the show is at the base 'fun' to watch and although not a masterpiece, it was never meant to be one and although the tone has seemed negative it is really enjoyable to watch and is one to be recommended to anyone wanting to just watch something casual and funny.

Though plot and progression is difficult to follow... screw it! It's a good show!! The characters are, I'm assuming, based of historical events and characters which can easily confuse. This shouldn't be counted as negative because it shows that thought went into the writing.

The main problem for me was the connection with the lead character. They should have gone fore a 24 episode structure and given a little more time to flesh out the characters and give a bit more back story. Other than that it was overall a confusing yet enjoyable show.
