Baka to Test to Shōkanjū: the anime that brought me into this great world
Hello Hive friends! It's happened again, but this time I've been focused on finishing my college subjects. Once I finish them, I won't have to see anymore. These last few days have been a little rough, but one always comes back, even if they are. Today I bring you the anime that introduced me to this cool world with such memorable characters. So let's go with the review.
This anime begins by introducing us to the main character, Akihisa Yoshii, who studies at the Fumizuki Academy. This academy has a class system in which each student carries a letter. The protagonist belongs to class F, the lowest class. In addition, the building of class F is in poor condition and lacks resources. As you can imagine, the students of class F are teased by the upper classes.
The plot of the anime starts to get interesting when they announce a new evaluation system. In this system, students can summon avatars to fight in battles. These avatars are called Shoukanjuu and represent the summoner's academic level. The higher the academic level, the better the avatar. Because our protagonist is considered a "dummy", the avatar he manages to summon is weak, as he has a very low academic level.

Despite this, our protagonist and his friends will do their best to improve and stop being a class F mistreated by the other classes. The combats between summoners will involve a lot of strategy that will make us laugh, since each character must use his intellectual capacity and cunning to earn points and improve his level. In addition, comedy is one of the strong points of this anime, as it is based on the different personalities of each character. There is also a bit of romance, as Akihisa is interested in an A student, but the interaction between the two is made difficult due to the large class differences and prejudices in the academy.

"Baka to Test" was one of the first anime I seriously watched, where I actually sat down to watch every episode. I didn't watch it on TV intermittently. I remember a friend recommending it to me when I was in high school, since everyone was talking about it and I wanted to fit in. I was told to start with this anime, as it was very light-hearted and would make me laugh in every episode, either because of the strategies or the personality of each character. It really pushed me to keep watching it. Mind you, the plot is not very complicated, it's rather simple: a group of friends who want to improve their class and the typical romance theme. I must say that the end of the first season is a bit inconclusive and it is not known who the main character really stays with, but despite that, I found it a pretty funny anime at the time, plus it also has a second season. After watching this anime, I watched "Clannad" and it broke my heart. If you're looking for a fun anime to pass the time that features few episodes, "Baka to Test" might be a great choice. If you want, you can leave me in the comments which was the first anime you seriously watched.
Thanks for reading my post and see you next time <3

¡Hola amigos de Hive! Ha vuelto a ocurrir, pero esta vez me he enfocado en terminar mis materias universitarias. Una vez las termine, no tendré que volver a ver más. Estos últimos días han sido un poco duros, pero siempre uno regresa, aunque así sean. Hoy les traigo el anime que me introdujo a este mundo tan genial y con personajes tan memorables. Así que vamos con la reseña.
Este anime comienza presentándonos al protagonista, Akihisa Yoshii, quien estudia en la academia Fumizuki. Esta academia tiene un sistema de clases en el que cada estudiante lleva una letra. El protagonista pertenece a la clase F, la más baja. Además, el edificio de la clase F está en mal estado y carece de recursos. Como podrán imaginar, los estudiantes de la clase F son objeto de burlas por parte de las clases superiores.
La trama del anime empieza a volverse interesante cuando anuncian un nuevo sistema de evaluación. En este sistema, los estudiantes pueden invocar avatares para luchar en batallas. Estos avatares se llaman Shoukanjuu y representan el nivel académico del invocador. Cuanto más alto sea el nivel académico, mejor será el avatar. Debido a que nuestro protagonista es considerado un "tonto", el avatar que logra invocar es débil, ya que tiene un nivel académico muy bajo.

A pesar de esto, nuestro protagonista y sus amigos harán todo lo posible para mejorar y dejar de ser una clase F maltratada por las demás clases. Los combates entre invocadores involucrarán mucha estrategia que nos hará reír, ya que cada personaje debe usar su capacidad intelectual y astucia para ganar puntos y mejorar su nivel. Además, la comedia es uno de los puntos fuertes de este anime, ya que se basa en las diferentes personalidades de cada personaje. También hay un poco de romance, ya que Akihisa está interesado en una estudiante de la clase A, pero la interacción entre ambos se dificulta debido a las grandes diferencias de clase y los prejuicios en la academia.

"Baka to Test" fue uno de los primeros animes que vi seriamente, en el que realmente me senté a ver cada capítulo. No lo veía en la televisión de manera intermitente. Recuerdo que un amigo me lo recomendó cuando estaba en el instituto, ya que todos hablaban de ello y quería integrarme. Me dijeron que comenzara con este anime, ya que era muy ligero y me haría reír en cada episodio, ya sea por las estrategias o por la personalidad de cada personaje. Realmente me impulsó a seguir viéndolo. Eso sí, la trama no es muy complicada, es más bien sencilla: un grupo de amigos que quiere mejorar su clase y el típico tema del romance. Debo decir que el final de la primera temporada es un poco inconcluso y no se sabe con quién se queda realmente el protagonista, pero a pesar de eso, me pareció un anime bastante divertido en su momento, además que también tiene una segunda temporada. Después de ver este anime, vi "Clannad" y me destrozó el corazón. Si buscas un anime divertido para pasar el tiempo que cuenta con poco capítulos, "Baka to Test" puede ser una gran elección. Si quieren, pueden dejarme en los comentarios cuál fue el primer anime que vieron seriamente.
Gracias por leer mi post y nos vemos en la próxima <3
Nunca escuche nada de este anime. Pero seria una buena opción para ver después de Dororo. Me gustaría ver una trama sencilla y divertida, con mucho humor después de ver un anime oscuro y melancólico XD
Buena reseña n.n
JAJAJAJAJAJ si lo seria después de ver dororo, tiene muy poca comedia a veces y toca temas fuertes, después de tanta sangre uno necesita una comedia o un anime de romance. Gracias por tu comentario <3
Interesting first anime, the plot sounds good and it's the first I've heard of it. As for my first anime it was Death Note I think, although not in a serious way because I only watched it in bits and pieces on TV. When I discovered the world of anime and sat down to watch something proper for the first time, I remember the ones I watched were comedies like Arakawa Under The Bridge and Good Luck Girl!
I think a good way to start watching anime has to be with something pretty light like a comedy or something very interesting that grabs you from chapter one, but everyone will work differently. I think Death Note was one of the first anime of that style that I saw that really interested me. Thanks for your comment <3
OMG!! This is so nostalgic!!! Hideyoshi introduced me to the world of "trap". hahah I don't remember the story that much, but I remember enjoying this before.. I guess I was still a university student back then more than 10 years ago... <3
I remember at that time I did not know the term "trap", my friends told me there is a character that is very funny because it looks like a woman but is a man, when I saw this I was just in high school, this anime made me laugh a lot. Thanks for your comment <3
I guess during those years, "trap" characters became really popular. haha
I remember seeing a funny buzz lightyear meme saying, "Traps... traps everywhere!"
It was a good watch! You're welcome.. ^^
They look adorable, I have this added on my list.
I hope you can watch it, I'm sure you'll laugh a lot. Thanks for your comment <3
