Much like the subject of this review, actually. Ben-To was a 2011 anime about people engaging in wars over half-priced bento boxes in supermarkets, engaging in turf wars over grocery stores and fisticuffs when in the stores to save a few yen on some food. It was a silly, irreverent, mean-spirited show, and its soundtrack was just as irreverent. However, does this insistence on using its own rules make the soundtrack memorable, or does it just grate? Look after the jump to find out.
Punch In The Mouth is a blog where I both talk casually and formally analyze the media I consume (anime, music, and video games for the most part). Let's jam.

Soundtrack review: Ben-To
Going against schedule, but I don't care. I follow my own rules, man!
