This was, errrrr, Odd. But interesting.

It has honestly the one of the most moronic premise ever but oh well, it's the execution that matters.

Hmm, an odd premise in which the Rei Clone is the main female character.

I hate the Class Rep already, but, eh.

Not to mention, the premise is full of What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?. And I love it for it.

Thoughts on the first episode: The premise is absurd, the characters are nuts, the vid quality of the stream I was watching is questionable, as is the subs.

And yet I can't wait for the next episode.

I wonder why the Class Rep is objecting so strongly to the main character being at all associated with that girl.

Also, WTF were they doing at the end there?

In any case, I rather like this. Mainly because of the What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome? that saturates it.

I thought the premise was funny, but this episode just didn't grab my attention. I felt like there was a lot of "tell don't show" going on until the very end. Maybe I'll watch the next ep but it's not that high on my list right now.

This. Fucking. Show.

It automatically earned its place on my watch list the second the opening started. *

I'll give it two more weeks...

Heh. Lovely hammyness. No room for subtlety here.

Very nice. Let's see how far they can get with the 'ridiculously awesome' angle to bargain-hunting.

Lol, glasses girl was probably the wierdest character in the episode.

And she's a masochist.

Dude. Just make a goddamned sandwich.

But then he wouldn't have an excuse to beat the crap out of people D:

Yeah, that's a good justification for any.

Well, he probably just wanted to see his senpai again, at any rate

Maybe he's gonna gain Attractor powers?

.....Dammit, it would have been so much funnier if you didn't remind me of the possibility. Now it feels less ridiculously awesome and more completely pointless.

Then again, being a college boy, I know that 'Making breakfast, lunch and dinner' cuts too much in your 'doing anything else' time to be acceptable. There's quite a lot of hoops I jump through daily to make sure spend as little time as possible on it. Facing off in a major cage brawl for half-price food seems almost reasonable compared to some of the stuff I go through.

Teenagers and twenty-somethings, when left to their own devices, are lazy to the point where they make 'finding cheap pre-made food' into a form of art.

Clearly, bread is incredibly expensive in this universe. I must admit that as a student, I can identify with the dilemma.

I think that this show will be very amusing.

You must admit, buying separate components is probably more expensive than just buying it pre-packaged. Hence why so many people think Mc Donalds is a substitute for an actual meal

^For a single meal, yes. For a bunch of meals, usually not.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that the stuff we're seeing is only a slight exaggeration of how people fight to get the food they want.

How was it that this was originally a light novel series?

BTW, Spirit, did the video you watch have blocky letters? If it does, do you know who's sub that was. I'm trying to avoid those.

Bento is Serious Business.

Half-priced bentos are Serious Business.

I bet children in Africa would gladly kill for those bentos you pussies refuse to fight over

I was just playing the tsukkomi I didn't say it was any less awesome.

@Pokenatic No idea who subbed it, though if a blocky sub font was the only problem it would've been fine.

The stream I watched was on Goodanime.net, so I recommend avoiding this series there.
