An unexpected boon for me this season, Baka to Test to Shokanju is like a dream come true for a gamer turned anime fan. I mean, which one of us wouldn’t want our high school lives to be just like a video game? Upon first glance, Baka to Test to Shokanju looks just like some overdone [...]

And just like Bund, this didn’t disappoint.          SUMMARY      In order to decide whether or not he’ll be in the A classes or lower or the F class,Yoshii must take a placement test. But while taking the test, one of the students there, Himeji, faints [...]

「バカとクラスと召喚戦争」 (Baka to Kurasu to Shoukan Sensou) "Idiots, Classes, and the Summoning War" Now why didn't my school have a summoning war system? Not that I needed it as motivation, but if it entitled me to a high-tech facility, first-class treatment, and meant I could own everyone with a digital personification of myself, it sure as hell wouldn't have hurt. If you're looking for a comedy to watch this season that has everything from a "pervert ninja" to the ultimate trap, look no further than Baka Test!

The premise of the show is simple.  The school divides the students into classrooms based on their grades.  The classrooms get progressively worse the further down the ranks you are.  However, the school provides the latest in battle technology to allow classes to challenge each other using chibi avatars of themselves.  If your class wins, [...]

If having your own little Mini-me fight for you isn’t considered cute, then i don’t know what is… Yep… When i watched this show, I knew it’d be right up my alley. And franky, it has a little of...

From watching the PV (below), I was not impressed for some reason, I guess because I see a lot of girls, one magical girl, hear Batou (Akio Ohtsuka) and something that seem fairly stereotypical. I guess I was watch all these PVs at the same time without any subtitle (I didn’t use the one below). [...]

Just as a note about the screenies in this post (all of which were shamelessly stolen from Tenka Seiha) because of this show's setting and designs, screenshots probably won't do justice to how great the show looks. The animation is superb and there is a unique visual style that you might see in the screenies wherein the backgrounds use the dots that you see in comic book shading, which look really cool. A lot has gone into color vibrancy and the kind of style that reminds you why we bother to use computers to make animation these days, celfags eat your hearts out. Anywho...

It's the show I know nothing about from the studio that I nothing about! This can't possibly go well, could it? She's cute, talented and has good taste in hairpieces. I approve!

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this anime. I was actually expecting a lot of fail. But while watching the first episode I was giggling away at just how stupid it was but that's what made it awesome. I don't know if they are trying to be serious with this anime yet but [...] Related posts:Ladies versus Butlers! – 01 – PreRelease To Heart Journey Part 3: To Heart 2

lol Oh man I busted a gut from all the laughing I was doing! All the summoning and the chibis fighting was great! But my favorite part was the [male] transformation sequence, that was too damn hilarious! This looks to be a ridiculous anime, and I’m loving it!

So we’ve basically already got our first impressions of what the anime will be like after watching the Christmas special.  I have somewhat low expectations for this anime but I shouldn’t walk in thinking that I’m going to hate it.  Let’s see what happens.  The OP is not good, but at least it’s not crap. [...]

Because I don’t think I have much to say this time, we’ll do this in bullet format. * Yuuji wants to prove to the world that grades aren’t everything… …yet his strategy involves sacrificing his dumb classmates for Himeji, who is so good at test-taking, she should be in Class A. Way to stick it to the [...]

Oh, balls.. When you have an idiot, coupled with tests and summoned creatures (lol, wut?) your bound to get something worth watching. Plot: There is this dumbass who gets put in a dumbass class and they try and take over the smartass’ classrooms. I was going to use that as a joke, but that is basically it, anyway here is [...]

I had a dream last night. In my dream, Baka to Test to Shokanju kept up with the pace it set for itself in the first episode for the whole series, never letting things get dull. If only this dream would come true, Baka Test might end up being one of my favorite anime of [...]

The Idiot, the Trap, the SHAFT-ness, the Chibis, and the BL-ish ED theme. The story has something to do with different classes, separating them from the results of their tests. (A-highest, F-lowest). Our lead guy is a failure, so he ends up on F class. There’s also the [...]

Winter seasons this year is, shall we say, not the most widely anticipated season ever. But with that said, there are some shows that looked like they could have promise back during preview time. With a couple first episodes out (and the Baka to Test Christmas Special short), I thought I’d take a look at [...]

Hwaa Hwaa Hwaaaaa Brief Summary In order to buy some time for their class representative’s escape, Akihisa and Minami stayed behind. Knowing that Class F’s scores are the lowest, their opponents thought it’ll be an easy win. That was not the case. Since Akihisa constantly uses the maximum of his meager abilities, he has better control of his [...]
