Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu – 01

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 if they keep it just like this I'll be a happy camper. The comedy in this is very slapstick like which generally I enjoy a lot.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is about a magic school that goes by levels. "A" being the best "F" being the worst. "A" gets all kinds of fancy stuff in their class room like: lazy boy chairs, laptops, snacks, and the room it's self is super classy looking. Where class "F" is in a room that looks just like a normal classroom but everything is broken or breaking and it's very dirty. This concept alone makes me laugh because in some cases in the world this holds true. The classes have to fight to stay in their classrooms and can be challenged by any of the other classrooms. If you win you move up a class (or something lol).

Their magic battles make me think of Weiss Survive (minus card battles) because of the chibi form they turn into when in "summon" mode. One has a whole magical girl transformation scene, a weird boy has the ability to take pictures (lol), and the pink haired chick (whom is the sick one but super smart) shouted "I refuse" before her chibi fighter appeared. I can only assume that was said to make fun of Bleach because of Orihime Inoue who also shouts those words when using her powers, but who knows.

This show hopefully will climb the average scale and tip it to be very enjoyable. So far it's doing a really good job. (aside from the ear bleeding OP)
