I love the fact that Nijine, composer for Baka to Test made this epic score. I mean, if only Baka to Test was a serious film, this would make me seriously took it to my heart. But.. this is BAKA TO TEST! And yes, it's a comedy! And having this super epic score, in the end, really made me smile. Every time I heard it, I just imagined that F class started their fighting against the other class. What I really like from the score itself, is the fact that Nijine put various instruments without making them "overestimate". Expressions were put on various place, so it's important that you take them seriously when playing. If this score is played by piano or similar instrument, it is not a hard piece. Strings, especially violin, will find this challenging. I had not tried it, but I assumed that violinist will encounter 5th position to 7th position, probably from bar 20th. For other instruments, I expect you already know how to handle your own instruments. If you find it difficult, don't give up yet. Get your mentor, or any expert to help you. Good luck and  E N J OY! PS: for Japanese, I wish you good luck with the first day of school. It should be in April, right? ------------------------- DOWNLOAD Download page: here Download file: here ----------------- Only for true Hatsune Miku FANS ;D Hatsune Miku Live Party 2011 / Mikupa [Limited Edition]

OMG, this is the last finished sheet music stock that I had *scared* Then I will start working another ^_^. Even though I will participate in another bazaar, it's already less stress, since I already have stock and knew how to work in bazaar. So, speaking about this score, it's one of the most beautiful piece I'd ever known. I wasn't really sure, but seems this score was used at some earlier episodes in Baka to Test. Probably during the sunset at school. Anyway, this score is pretty easy and perfect for beginners to play as group because it has different parts for several music instruments. It is clearly using guitar (probably two guitars), strings (and mostly violins), something like harmonica or closely like pianika. Feel free to use your own instruments that you mastered. So, happy playing and E N J O Y, guys! ------------------------- DOWNLOAD Download page: here Download file: here ----------------- Peek on this: Sengoku Basara's comic

Baka to Test to Shokanju is the most nonsensical anime ever! That’s what I first thought. The opening for Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beasts was just fantastic! I would expect it to be something quite overrated since my schoolmates, who are not anime fans, have made this some sort of fever. No offense to them [...]

Title: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! Genre: Comedy Rating: 6.0/10 Summary: Second season of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Review: One of my favorite anime comedies of all time that had my sides hurting and left it difficult to breathe between the spurts of laughter. At least that is what I would be saying [...]

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni is surprisingly better than its predecessor. In this season, a few episodes were dedicated to the pasts shared by Yuuji and Shouko, and Aki, Shimada and Himeji. It's interesting to know about their pasts as it helps us to understand better why they turned out the way they turned out. Story: (7/10) – Fairly Good Season 1 was stupid, random and shallow whereas Season 2 has slightly more depth, but still stupid and random. The backstories shared by the different characters are interesting and helped us to understand their personality better. Characters: (7/10) – Fairly Good I'm not into any of the characters but the character I find most interesting is Hideyoshi. I also find Aki less irritating and more likable this season. However, I still find Himeji the most annoying. Art/Animation: (7/10) – Fairly Good The art and animation are nothing special but fit the style of the anime. Music: (7/10) – Fairly Good I don't like the main Opening and Ending themes but I do like the 2 one-off Ending themes they used in episodes 7 and 11. They are respectively "Baka to Koshitsu to Kodokumeshi" and "Hi-Ho!!" by milktub. Both songs portrayed the mood of the episode really well. Enjoyment: (7/10) – Fairly Good The entire series is pretty enjoyable. My favorite is probably the last 2 episodes (Yr 3 vs Yr 2). It's funny to see people getting freaked out by fake monsters and it's even funnier to see Hideyoshi screamed when he's being confessed to. LOL Overall: (7/10) – Fairly Good This anime is pretty good for passing time.

There is no way of reviewing humour. It’s always personal and at the mercy of such fickleness as “I wasn’t in the mood”. Enough then to say that Baka Test is my kind of humour; the kind where the jokes are obvious from the setup but the punchline is so much more over-the-top than expected. [...]

The adventures of chibi fighters with powers derived from test scores return. Ok, so the jokes are definitely starting to get old. How many Minami flat chest jokes have we heard at this point? How many times has Himeji cooked … Continue reading →

I have left it as long as I could, but somehow it is still not Halloween.  I guess we are going to have to watch the Halloween episode of BakaTest on just some random day in October.  We left off in the middle of a haunted house/summon battle tournament, where all the summons had turned [...]

While people are enjoying their Cosplay Maina 2011. I happen to finish the last episode of the second season of Baka to test to Shoukanjou. Well, if you had read my first impressions of this one – forget it. This season rocks! There isn’t much of a plot in Baka to test. Just a bunch of kids being kids, while in a super elite [...]

「バカとテストと召喚獣っ!」 (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu!) "Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beings!" I'll admit that I'm going to hold on to this hope that Minami will eventually be the one who will win Akihisa's heart. However, after watching Himeji suddenly gain the confidence to let her true emotions just flow right out of her, I'm beginning to see why so many of you like her so much.

The previous episode of BakaTest was all backstory about Yuuji and Shouko.  I wonder if that means they’re going to give us an episode focused on that relationship?  It’d be nice to see it treated on more than just the shallow level of “Yuuji looks at another girl, Shouko pokes his eyes out”.  On the [...]

Last time on BakaTest, the nascent war had fizzled out, but at the cost of spreading the knowledge of Minami and Akihisa’s mutual feelings for each other around the school.  Practically everyone now knows at least one half of it, and people who really would be happier not knowing, like Miharu and Himeji, know both.
