BakaToTestToShokanju


Since my English teacher increased the minimum of words in my blogs, I've decided to write about another new anime appropriately named Baka to Test to Shōkanjū. I couldn't use the accents in the title because blogger wouldn't let me, so that's the real title, pronunciation and everything.
Okay let's start with the title and explaining it. First of all it's called Baka to Test to Shōkanjū, as you have read up there. In Japanese it's written like this バカとテストと召喚獣. If you directly translate that it means "Idiots, Tests, and Summoned Beasts." This anime is based off of a manga written by Kenji Inoue and illustrations by Yui Haga. Three years after the manga was created, the anime was made. On January 7, 2010, this anime shown it's first episode.
The main character of this anime is Akihisa Yoshii, who is also known as the idiot or "Baka." Akihisa attends Fumizuki Academy, where students are divided into different classrooms depending on their rank and also test scores. (But most schools in Asia base students off tests and how smart they are. Oh and also some schools based off looks.)
Let's begin with Class A, if you're placed in this class, you'll be living in the life of luxury in school. Class A has the students ranked on the top of the list. Their classroom is filled with the most prestigious items such as air conditioners, for the hot summer days, fancy seats for comfortable learning, huge spaces for organized students, and so on. If I was in Class A, I would love going to school.
This school may seem like an average school in Asia, but you are wrong. This academy has something special to it, and that is, where all students manage to call forth Summoned Being or in other words, "Shōkanjū." The strength and power of your summoned beings are based off of the summoner's level. Class A would have the powerful beings, while Class F has the weak and puny beings.
Okay so back to the plot. Unfortunately on the day of the placement test, Mizuki Himeji suffered from a fever (and in Japan, if you miss the first test, there's a lower chance that you won't be able to take another test until next year). Because of that fever, Mizuki was unable to complete her test, and ended up failing it and placed into the rat hole of Class F. Some of the students in Class F are Akihisa Yoshii (baka), Mizuki Himeji (also known as the second-ranked student), Yūji Sakamoto (the class representative), Kinoshita Hideyoshi (a bishōnen, or a beautiful boy), Tsuchiya Kouta (a pervert), and Shimada Minami (a tomboy and Akihisa's "claimed" worst enemy).
Currently, this anime has been pretty interesting and a new plot in Romance Comedy and Fantasy category. I will not spoil this anime for you, so if you’re interested in it, watch it yourself!! xP Enjoy this brilliant anime. End. LOL.
