Warning: Reviews contains SPOILERS Dont read unless you want to get spoiled or youve done this thickwitted anime series. 900https://i.pin.com/originals/68/36/53/683653d7c7d3bee965f807d06477a078.jpg I. Opening: The Bright Insight It has the most vivid and joyful tone. So before I come up with my usual review what was the first thing has come into your brain when you read the title? Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu was it pretty clear? Yes its all about the idiots who do the test and summoning the beasts pretty simple and somewhat cliche for your brain to remember it isnt it? Yet with those basic premises Baka to Test can make somewhat an exceptional series of its kind. And also with a lot of anime series bring to school as the main environment Baka to Test is fresh and somewhat genuine in a lot of aspects and must say its one of the kind. As they bring something usual but somewhat unique to soothe the audiences of watching the series scenebyscene from a serious and shounen kind of like terms into unexpected events which has delivered the waves of laughter. The ridiculous funny stupid unexpected and also joys and tears fulfil the anime into its most vivid tone. Its humorously a rainbow kind of show And before I continue hopefully youll enjoy my effortful review. II. Second: The Premises It has the most basic premises yet leads into something unusual. As I stated in the preliminary section it has the most fundamental premises that typical in any anime series. Yes school. The question is what are the difference? Well people cant just give a damn to a boring slice of life with the school as the background right? How about if we add the idiot students the hierarchy of classes from the most impoverished to the most glamourous and some monsters to summon? These ideas are somewhat unrelatable but it made it I can tell from a way of the story narrates itself its just exceptional. There are not many anime series which rely on the narration to progress throughout the story let alone the comedy genre there are some but its not such plenty. At that time there is no kind of narrative series that very popular until people discovered Kaguyasama wa Kokurasetai which also spans into the comedyromance narrative as its premise. So Baka to Test was different as a whole in the comedy genre. This narrative kind of premise also advances with the absurd kind of comedy whereas a lot of illogical but purposely entertaining made the series fills out the laughter in every episode. Another premise that people might notice or not is the slice of life. Yes I know its not that obvious but cant say its vague as the background had taken from a school which primarily based on reallife so its still a slice of life anime series. The other background that Ive noticed was the romance. Yes even though its not the main point of this series but this series still has it. I cant tell anything about the romance but its a triangle kind of like relationship in general. At last Baka to Test has some subgenres which not mentioned above as its not the main theme of this series. Well the next is the spoilers part. III. Third: The Plot Narration School test and summoning beasts which focused on the idiots. IV. The Introductory Insight: The Characters and Developments They are good characters. Satisfy enough to blend with the story. V. The Opinions: The Roles and Voice Actors I do be honest Ive got no problem with the characters must say that they suffice enough to blend with the story. They had played the roles very well. As an anime series that purposely to entertain the audiences they were lucky to have fascinatingly talented voice actors to play the role of the story. As there were a lot of references to create into the parody I must say its just too brilliant to have them in the same story. I doubt if there is an anime series that brings a lot of excitement like this if it wasnt because of the talented voice actors. So well done its made Baka to Test into a very good anime with enjoyable entertainment. VI. The Backgrounds: The Arts and Music It soothes my mind how smooth was the transition in every scene. Actually I dont want to write this it never be an important section for me but I must tell because its somewhat unprecedented to have this kind of art and animation in the story. First to mention is the character background. Yes it has their colours which fit into each characters personality its not that able to notice but still obvious. And next its the selfdraw kind of the art style. It makes the anime so childish yet increases the extent of comedy premise to get the attention of the audiences due to the laughter as the animation is just so soft. Its worth mentioning that the animation soothes my mind as it adapts with every unprecedented scene and I found it quite funny. There are a lot of references from both manga and anime series in general not to mention how many absurd references are there. Im fond of this kind of animation but its just hilarious yet somewhat a quality one as the transition in every scene is just so smooth and if they ever read those like shoujo genre for example theyd notice it and laugh to it spontaneously in a whim. The violence and nudity parts remain censored but with a quite ridiculous trick you can see and try it later as people knew itd happen if theyve got into the middle but the way to show it its just so funny. Arts aside the Opening sounds cheerful and childlike just the way how it should be. However Ive never expected to see a different kind of music in the ED the 1st ED I might say it fits with the idiotic theme and still good due to the background as they show a beautiful art style in the end. The 2nd ED its plain but still expected for a series which has a romance in it. And for the OSTs its just good can say no more as its somehow fitting themselves into every scene. VII. Ending: The Enjoyment Audiences Target and Overall Score Its very recommended to who may have been looking for a comedy show. If youve finished it its worth a rewatch due to the unexceptional story and comedy. Yes I highly recommend this show. I must say that I enjoyed it very much in every scene and episode due to the basic but somewhat interesting premises due to the comedy. For further notice this series is just for the entertainment purpose so if you found any unwanted scenes that you dislike I might say you have to make it sounds lighthearted enough for your brain as its purposely to entertain the audiences. This anime is for you who loves the comedy with the school as the background. If you like romance you can also watch it its not that deep but its still recommended if you like solely a romancecomedy that has a triangle love story on it but still dont expect the adventurous kind of slice of life. Trust me you wont have it here. And yes it doesnt have the action in general you can enjoy it but dont expect any seinen or shounen well its just a reference kind of action battle here. If youve watched it before then why dont you rewatch it? It can bring you the old memory when youve watched it for the first time and Im sure itd be still the same as your first impression of this anime series as well. Ah so overall I gave it a very high score. Its a big credit due to a lot of efforts that had been putting to create this series to be very good. Well here is your one more chance and never never give up score.
