As soon as Sato pushed back the alarm clock I thought to myself: he’s going to mess up, but Yarizui is going to make it barely in time and help him out. But before I get into that, I wanted to mention something I noticed twice this week: how manga/anime characters personalities’ change without any [...]

Ben-To 11 I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.  The sound-master for this show is a genius.  Ume showed up for about 5 seconds and that’s just perfect for this show.  She brings her cool bgm in, says a couple of lines, and then clears out.  The Tokiwa supermarket jingle is awesome, the fighting music is awesome, [...]

This episode!!! OH GOD! I really didn't see this coming at all. All it was missing was animating the whole final fight, but I'll forgive them with such an awesome episode. My mind was blown away, I had no idea what to expect for this episode. An absolutely amazing finale, especially compared to Fate/Zero that I just watched. I was 100% sure the ice witch would do some crazy magic for this

To say that the moe genre nowadays is overcrowded is an understatement. I’m sure my bias against this genre wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t just so bloody everywhere, and I don’t even like most of them, and the comedies in this genre are no different. The exceptions for me are the ones who [...]

Okay, so I had an entire post written up, only to accidentally delete it. *headdesk* In any case, this was a wonderful way to end this series. This really was entertainment. The ultimate bad guy turned out to be much better than I expected. He’s not just this guy who is ridiculously strong and beat [...]

This character is from one of my personal favorites this season, Ben-To: a quirky action-comedy anime about groups of people fighting over discounted bento boxes. Sounds insane, right? Trust me, it’s quite an interesting watch, despite the zany premise. Anyway, featured at the top is the lovely and demure Yarizui Sen (also known as the

Yet again, another second last episode that  decided to slow things down a bit, much better done then the rest though. They are clearly setting up the twins to join the half price food club. You can even see it in the OP. I guess They need to save battle budget for the final episode, plus that last episode was pretty epic. Damn these budget constraints! So we get to clearly see the

Awwwww… so cute~ Looks like the twins aren’t really that bad after all, just weird. I’m dying to know what the hell happened between them and the Heracles guy that traumatized them so much they quit the scene for three years. Poor Satou this week though… in the end, he went with the pills instead [...]

This episode ha lot of very good parts, and a few parts I didn’t like about it. As for the good parts though: finally Orthros are getting some good characterization, which is really great to see. With this, they actually pose much more of a threat than what they were when we first saw them. [...]

Okay, another filler but this one is actually better than the previous ones. I also notice that the OP changed and showed those "twins" as part of the main cast. I guess I'll be okay with that even though I still find them an annoyance in the series. Sato still acts like a pervert and that's driving me nuts! He wasn't even a pervert to begin with in the start of the show. That pool episode is the
