I give up. I surrender, seriously.  I can’t figure out what the hell happened to this series, and what the hell Silver Link is trying to do with it.  A commenter (Myssa Rei) mentioned last week that they’ve shuffled the chapters around a lot this season, and maybe that explains […] Read more

A little slow on the review with this one, but TBH I haven’t felt too motivated with Baka Test this season. I’m really left to wonder at this point whether I was missing something during the first season.  Were my standards too low?  Have I changed that much in a […] Read more

Baka Test has certainly evolved into something quite different from the first season (which I loved) and most of the second season (which I didn’t).  So I guess I have to look at that as a mixed bag. I’ll give B-T credit for this much – the continuity this season […] Read more

There’s no question that Baka-Test upped the ante big time in terms of seriousness this week.  But here’s my question – did it have any right to? Don’t get me wrong – I’ll take an episode like this any day over the sadistic crap that’s characterized most of this season.  […] Read more

There are a few chinks in the armor for Baka Test this season that are preventing it from working for me at the same level it did last season. I think they were really issues all along, but for whatever reason they’re more noticeable to me now than before. For […] Read more

Baka Test finally ended it’s summer vacation and went back to school for the third episode, and with it came a return to the comedic form of the first season. While it may not have been on a par with the absolute best episodes, this was a solid effort from […] Read more

No other series wears its cross-dressing guys on its sleeve quite so much as Baka Test, so it was hardly a surprise to see episode ni! of the second season given over to it. It was somewhat of a surprise, however, to see the beach episode turn into beach episodes. […] Read more
