GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY! really this quite OH NO really of ep.

indeed now twins are now biggest threat to beat really with shopping baskets of doom darkness are main weapons really double combo really beat up everyone it this ep alone really anyone or something to stop the twins?!

especially pulling a con-basket-to on ice witch make her spin around if real life her neck could snap & yet more humiliated putting a basket of her head after being beaten really basket on head it like twins calling card.

Episode 11

Not a training episode like we expected since Sen is sick. Instead we're shown why Kyo² moved to where they live now; because they got there asses handed to them. They also seem to be trying to drive people towards the store their father owns by making them not want to go to the ones they leave their mark at. At least, that's how I interpreted that part. To be honest, this episode just through a bunch of information and a new character at us without explaining much. Certainly not the kind of episode I want right before the finale.

There were funny moments, though! Ume kidnapped Oshiori, Sen was adorable sick, and Sato has to put suppositories into Sen since she asked for "fast acting medicine". We also learned that Sen's hair does that split thing because of her boots, or at least that's what Sato thinks. Oh, and Sato lets Brunette know that she quit fighting because she is stacked, which I found to be the amusing part of the episode.

As whole, though, not a great episode. They killed all the momentum and excitement from last week's episode by throwing new information and characters at us. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the backstory on Kyo², but the way they jammed it in there and added a new character at the last second didn't work well.

Hopefully the final episode still has an epic battle of some sort.

I agree - didn't like how things unfolded. I've been looking forward to an epic battle between The Ice Witch, The Freak and The Twins. Now they toss in some new character and I guess he's going to be the climatic battle. WTF? The show tends to handle comedy well, but a lot of times when it comes to plot, they just end up shitting the bed.

Cracked up at Ume's latest abduction of Oshiori and how one of the twins politely called Sato "Hentai-san." Laughing

I hate to say this but you are not alone. I actually have friends who are not anime fans who enjoy his posts as well. Maybe we should start a club.

Sadly, Ben-to is not being streamed legitimately anywhere and the rules of this site prohibit us from publicly naming fansub sites. However, as always, Google is your friend.

Hah. Thanks for pointing this out. I scrolled up and read some KLAC posts. They are actually painful to read. I hurt.

I really want to see the twins get their butts handed to them. I hope this happens this next episode.

Okay, can someone who lives there tell me, in the real world, does anyone really get all that excited over half-priced ben-to in the markets?

Just curious.

Well the ending was rather satisfying. I like it. I also have to give the credit for the way that guy in red hat 'ruined' the twins. Definitely did not see that coming and that's great. I am giving Ben-to "good" rating and, incidentally, to Haganai, as both shows have some really good parts but then serious flaws take away from experience. While Ben-to suffers from at times horrid storyline, Haganai has some insufferable characters. Overall both of these shows are enjoyable, I'd watch second seasons.

Unless the light novel and/or manga sales have shot up, I'd say Ben-to is pretty doomed as far as a second season goes.
