Baka and Test: Season One

With the preponderance of serious and seriously violent anime being brought out these days, its a relief to watch a show that’s seriously silly. The series follows the adventures of the students at Fumizuki Academy, a school where students can summon Avatars, pint-sized versions of themselves, to battle each other to settle any and all disputes between classes. The school losers of Class F, lead by the always poor and always hungry Akihisa Yoshii, take on all comers to better their standing in the school, leading to some eye-popping anime battles. It’s the interaction between the kids, though, that gives the show heart.
