The first rule about Ben-To, is that you don't talk about Ben-To. No wait...
Here's the unboxing/overview for Funimation's latest Limited Edition release which is now released uncensored and uncut.
When Funimation picked up Ben-To I was curious to see what it was about. The concept has kept me intrigued - a food store where a bunch of people fight with a mix of action and fanservice added to the mix. I was actually prepared to pre-order this when it was originally slated for July 2014 until some folks managed to discover that Funimation once again had been using the Broadcast Edit instead of the final uncensored/uncut source (aka the Japanese Blu-ray masters). After what happened with Sankarea, the company delayed the title and it's finally here!
The show was released in standard and limited versions, the one I picked up is the Limited Edition. This set contains the complete series on Blu-ray and DVD with some standard extras like opening/closing animations and Funimation commentaries. The Blu-ray and DVD both have unlockable subtitles and are also compatible with UK and Australian Blu-ray players.

Plot Synopsis (via Back cover):
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.
