Review: Baka and Test

Posted on February 18, 2014 at 12:20 PM

Spoiler Free! Also known as Baka and Test Summon the Spirit Beasts


Baka and Test Summon the Spirit Beasts is split by two seasons, its available English dubbed and Japanese subbed through Manga Entertainment. The general story is based on the protagonist Akihisa Yoshii and a school full of students designated to classes ranging from in the best in A to the slackers in F, where in F is where are protagonist is presently. This school is different because good grades won’t just get you in better places later in life, it will also help you win battles. Basically each student has their own mini avatar and they fight battles with each other, there stats are based on how well they perform in certain subjects.


It’s a happy go lucky anime but it is very addictive, you instantly fall for the characters and sit in wonder what will happen to Akihisa in his love triangle mess with pink haired cutie Mizuki Himeji and tough pony-tailed Minami Shimada. Oh and the psychotic Shouko will make you both frightened and laugh your head off as she relentlessly chase Yuki Its one of those anime’s you read on paper that sounds okay but you really need to watch to really love it.


Now I am a sub or dub fan when its done right, so I am glad to say that the English dub voice cast is fantastic, Greg Ayres as the panty photo taker Kouta is hilarious and when the girls get angry their cutest voices are replaced by cackling revenge seekers.


Season two really changes things as its much more relationship driven, the ending is very sweet but I warn you, you’ll want to see a series three for closure…
