Ben-To isn't the first anime about food and it’s not the
best, but it is one of the most enjoyable I've seen in awhile. But that being
said the "Food “in Ben-To isn't what the show is really about you could
easily replace the bento's with magic orbs or lost treasure,and the unlined
theme would be the same "Honor" in battle the battle just happen to
be over cheap food. That being said the anime does go much pass “I’m Hungry
lets fight over this cheap food” you’ll have to look hard to find the underline
theme because it’ll only shine through at the very end of the anime and even then it’ll
be gone just as fast as it came
The fights are enjoyable and fun to watch if not a little
one sided at most if not all the time. Add to that characters each have their
own traits that make them likable or unlikeable and great to see in
interactions with one another.
And even with the seemly forced in "romantic" and
ecchi moments that seem to pop up out of nowhere and disappear just as fast and
the somewhat lack luster ending that just beg for it to get a second two. Ben-to
is still one of my favorite new animes of the fall season of 2011 and I looked forward to each episode and one I
would recommend it to anyone looking for a good fight anime with a
passable story that doesn’t do as deep
as it could but still enjoyable
If you’re looking for some mostly mindless silly fun check
out Ben-To
