Thank you Japan for your crazy animes

I have to say this is probably up there with one of the most craziest ideas for an anime I've come across.

Ben-To:

While innocently reaching for some half-priced bento, Yō Satō finds himself beaten up on the floor of a supermarket. He soon learns that getting half-priced bento is an all-out brawl between students. Yō is invited to the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club by one of the top fighters, Sen Yarizui, in order to train to compete in these battles.

the trailers insane.

Its like coupon shopping meets fight club.

Or black Friday at walmart.

Oh man I've seen crazier. I forgot the name though. If I remember right, it was about a sex addict with a dinosaur penis and he had to fight stuff or something to get the girl or something. Or something.

Oh man but thats a whole other level of crazy plus it sounds like they were going out of their way to do it.

I guess what I like about this is its taken two normal and quite frankly boring things like going to school and shopping and tried to make it badass. Just from the trailer I feel like the characters take themselves very seriously but all their really doing is fighting over a couple of dollars of bad food.

It reminds me of this pic:

Whoa dude whoa. Have you ever had a bento box??

stubby43 on Dec 07 '11 at 8:27pm

Nope, dont think there were any in my area, I could probably find one in london.

Are they good?

Just watched the first episode... the main character describes his normal boring life and one of his examples is I almost got blown up at my dads work.

Later on in the episode their taking out the rycling and the main character asks why dont they just throw it out.

The girl says, You dont separate your trash? What are you? American.

zing.

You know how some stops have like pre-made sandwiches wrapped and ready to eat? Japan does that with bentos, except they're stuff like batter-fried chicken, rice, pickled ginger and whatever else is way better.
