I’m beginning to think the producers are trying to troll us. Like there isn’t going to be a REAL battle for the ENTIRE second season. Even the narrator is pissed. He gets cut off every instance in which he speaks. This episode is exceedingly similar to the previous one. Boys get blackmailed, boys be perverts, [...]

「僕とのぞきと男の友情っ!」 (Boku to Nozoki to Otoko no Yuujyou) "Me, Peeping, and BROTHERHOOD" I can't recall the last time a show decided to break the fourth wall, but Baka Test's narrator definitely sounded pretty pissed this week. All jokes aside, it's beginning to feel a wee bit tedious with the collective brain power of our four three guys failing to discover their blackmailer.

This episode is funny, it’s got all the jokes down, all the mischief that the boys can wreck and all the punishment that the girls can deal out. But it’s one of those episodes where you have really nothing to talk about. Here we have the much maligned duo of much suffering and pain. Akihisa [...]

「僕とのぞきと強化合宿っ!」 (Boku to Nozoki to Kyouka Gasshukuu!) "Me, Peeping, and Training Camp!" I still can't place my finger on what exactly was so good about this episode, but all the different points that I factor in while watching Baka Test was all there. Starting with some ridiculous problem that Akihisa and friends have to deal with, there apparently was a school festival between episode four and five. And during this festival, both Akihisa and Yuuji had to do things that they'd rather not remember and are getting blackmailed with it.

Episode 05 - Meh, this series is seriously starting to overuse some of it’s jokes. The “Himeji, Shouko, and Minami being sadistic” joke has been over-abused in the past 3-4 episodes, and is really starting to lose some of it’s luster. Come on, what happened to the crazy slapstick jokes that this series used to [...]

Last episode of BakaTest was a flashback filler double feature, a million miles from any possible continuity carrying over into this episode.  Fine by me.  I’ll take as many silly episodes about Hideyoshi crossdressing as they’re willing to put out.  There’s been a surprisingly strong trend toward that, hasn’t there?  Not even considering that even [...]

Though I'm not a big fan of the first season, I'm glad that Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is back with Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni. It's nice to watch a brainless anime such as this once in a while. The baka action of the characters make me feel smart at times XDWhat's Hot?- The Hideyoshi scene in the first episode cracked me up! Even though he's finally wearing guy's trunks and revealing his upper body, he got caught for indecent exposure. LOL. I'm really curious about how his upper body is like. ^^- Yuuji's cross-dressing cracked me up too!~What's Not?- Too much unnecessary fan service for guys. There should be some for girls too! XD

「僕と本音と男の尊厳っ」 (Boku to Honne to Otoko no Songenn) "Me, Dignity, and a Man's Dignity" What time is it? It's time to return to what made this show one of the best comedies I've ever watched. A little bit of dark humor combined with some chocolate, laced with what I can only assume was alcohol, started off the funniest episode of the season. Who would have thought that a quick game of the Japanese version of BS could turn into a torture session for our male leads?

Now I’m beginning to wonder which is worse: Getting on the Himeji’s bad side, or getting on her good side? Not that it matters an iota when she’s drunk. Still no sign of classroom battles (ugh), but I read a comment somewhere that Class F was banned from engaging in battles for 3 months. Well, [...]

Episode 04 - Haha, well this was the first episode of this second season that I was genuinely laughing through for the entire airtime. The jokes weren’t exactly creative or anything really unique, but the usage of the summon beasts to get gags going was fun. Just wondering though, was Himeji always this devious? I [...]

At this point in BakaTest, our heroes have definitely returned from the beach, so we can put that whole nasty business behind us and move on.  To the start of the school year, maybe?  It is a school life comedy, after all.  In fairness, I guess “summer vacation” is a quintessentially school-life activity – once [...]

This is testing my rational mind: We can’t tell the difference anyway just by looking, so it’s ok to fap to this? They’re as identical as twins can go, so I feel a bit confused whether to find the pink one-piece cute on Yuuko. In fact, it’s extremely nice, but the moment she lets down [...]

「僕とあの娘とぬいぐるみっ」 (Boku to Ano Musume to Nuigurumii) Me, That Girl, and a Stuffed Animal"" While I feel a little let down with all the strange topics these first few episodes have covered, I have to admit that they've been pretty interesting.

I don’t know if I had drugs in my water or the second half really was that good but it’s been a long time since I was laughing so hard. The beauty contest…seriously…it was awesome. These were the five best comedy minutes in seasons (with the exception of Level E). I was pleasantly surprised to [...]

Continuing with the same momentum of hilarity we witnessed last episode, Baka to Test moves forward with its unfailing, laugh inducing comedy. And I daresay that it never fails to keep up the running gags with Shoujo and Yuji that … Continue reading →

BakaTest is a fun little show with a crazy premise that it occasionally falls into the trap of taking seriously.  Last episode was a standard beach fanservice episode with no plot to get in the way of our fun, but eventually summer vacation is going to end, the characters are going to go back to [...]

The directors must be high on an acid trip. It’s so pink, so pastel, so psychedelic. And there’s still no sign of classroom battles. WHERE ARE MY CLASSROOM BATTLES? At least we’ve got a dere-mode Minami, who looks pretty good in a kimono. Kimonos work wonders. Sufficiently conceals the chest so that men can take [...]

Could write how nice it is to see a second season of the “Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu” series based on the light novels written by Kenji Inoue with art by Yui Haga, but the selling point of this show to me revolves mostly around its alluring trap Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Did like the first season [...]
