Overview

Ben-To: Complete Series (2011)

Every day an epic struggle rages in grocery stores across Japan—the battle for half-priced bento boxes! Once the discount stickers go on, ravenous brawlers start throwing punches in a knockdown, drag-out war over who gets to take home the cheap eats. When a young, broke high school student named Sato joins the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club, he proves to be a rising talent in the world of insane food fights. But does he have what it takes to become the king of clearance cuisine? From the director of Black Cat comes a very different type of hunger games. Welcome to the world of Ben-To, where chopsticks are lethal weapons, the supermarket is a battleground, and there’s nothing more delicious than a deep-fried win.Special Features Epsode 03 commentary Epsode 07 commentary ""Ben-To Brawl"" live action parody Textless opening song - LIVE for LIFE ~Ookamitachi no Yoru Textless opening song - Treasure!

Ben-To: Complete Series Blu-ray Movie Review

FUNimation's re-release of series

Reviewed by Dr. Stephen Larson May 22, 2017

FUNimation has reissued the TV series Ben-To as a "Super Amazing Value Edition" (S.A.V.E.). All twelve episodes are included in this four- disc set, which comes with two Blu-rays and two DVDs. The BDs are encoded for Regions A and B playback. This is essentially a duplicate of FUNimation's 2015 Limited Edition with the only difference being that the 2017 package lacks a slipcover. For a description and analysis of Ben-To, please see my colleague Jeffrey Kauffman's review.

Ben-To: Complete Series Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  2.5 of 5

FUNimation's new S.A.V.E. BD/DVD combo offers fans of Ben-To the chance to grab the complete series at a much more affordable price. It is presently $30 cheaper compared to copies of the L.E. available on Amazon Marketplace. I recommend picking this up if you didn't get the first package.
