Product Description

Class F is back in the Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts: OVA Special Collection! Fumizuki Academy's popular Refreshing Festival is quickly approaching, and the student body is busy prepping class projects. For Yoshii and the gang, there's a lot more at stake than showing off for campus visitors. If Class F doesn't profit from its festival project and buy some new gear for its dumpy room, Mizuki's parents are going to send her to another school! Of course, even if the slack pack makes some money, they'll have to win one of the toughest Summoner Test Wars of their lives before they're allowed to spend it. It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. But once the underachievers of Class F get motivated, they don't give up - and they can't even spell surrender!

The two-part Baka & Test OVA (2011) takes place between the first and second seasons of the popular romantic farce. It's time for the annual school festival at Fumizuki Academy, usually one of the high points of the academic year in Japan. A lot is riding on this year's festival: Class F can use any money they earn to buy desks to replace the cardboard boxes they work at. With desks, they'll look like a real class, and Himeji's father won't make her change schools. Under the direction of class rep and bad boy Yuuji, they set up a "European Chinese-style Café," which, incredibly enough, makes money. But at Fumizuki Academy, there's always a catch. The second day of the festival is a Summoner Tournament, and only the winners can buy equipment. Yuuji and long-suffering Akihisa call up their avatars, but they have to fight upperclassmen they shouldn't have a chance against. They succeed through a mixture of pluck, luck, and Kudou's surveillance equipment and sexy photographs. Although it's short enough to have been included as an extra on one of the Baka & Test sets, the OVA supplies plenty of the slapstick humor, friendship, and lust-driven nosebleeds fans of the series expect and enjoy. (TV 14: risqué humor, cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

This OVA set takes place in between the first and second seasons of Baka & Test. The show is hilariously funny and should be watched by any anime fans who can handle a little perverted humor. While this set is only about an hour an a half long, when you think about it, you are paying about the same for what would be a movie of similar length so the price shouldn't be an issue for anybody. Definitely pick this up along with the first season and you will enjoy hours of continuous laughter that will make your sides hurt!

I loved it! It was great. I was a bit sceptacle when I first bought it, I don't normally buy OVAs due to how short they are, but this one was worth it. The back of the box for some reason says its 22 minutes long, but that's not the case. It is about an 1hrs worth long so the price is about right.

Well this is my favorite anime so I will be buying this when I get paid. $20 is a bit steep for 2 episodes when you consider we get 13 for $42 (on rightstuf). However if your a big fan of the series it will be worth it. Season 1 came with some OVA's but they are all subbed. I would gladly pay $40 to get them dubbed (^_^)

Great OVA's. Both the boys duel and try to save the day for their women and friends. The losers of the class one ups upperclassmen. Way more shenanigans compared to the rest of Season 1, but it doesn't stray from original storyline. More cross dressing is prominent and the split ending was kinda weird, but sort of ties in for more realism.

This is really great because in season two the events of this ova are mentioned, but they never explain what happened. This ova gives an insight into what happened. The storyline is very funny and the dub is great! I would recommend this to anyone who has seen the two seasons of Baka & Test or people who just like to laugh.

The OVA episodes are a lot of fun...but there are only two of them! So for the amount you pay, it was a little bit of a letdown to only get two episodes. However, they are entertaining, and if you want to complete your baka and test collection, it's nice to have!

This is a great blu-ray set for a great show. Baka & Test were one of the Anime "gems" that's hard to forget, and with this release, Funimation has given us the whole library. The price may be a tad steep (20 dollars for two episodes...), but the set goes for 50$ in Japan, so it isn't that bad.

The content itself is great. Unlike season one, this one was made in HD. The Audio and Video are considerably better and the animation is a bit more lively than the TV-series. They didn't save anything on this one and went all out on the budget. The extras are great as usual, there's a bunch of bonus content in form of bonus episodes, as was the case with season 1 and 2. There's not much more to say.

If you're less smart than the avarage man, you'll feel right at home here. If you aren't, you will laugh of all the anticts and stupidity these characters are up to. Maybe cringe as well. Point is: BUY IT NOW!

Never got a chance to see the OVA my first time seeing the series, now that I have I regret not purchasing this sooner. Aki and the gang are back, and hilarity ensues in classic baka-fashion. Any fan planning on buying the entire series will want to pick this up as well.

映像特典等が必要ない方には良いです。国内版には分岐する映像が収録されているそうですが、本編だけで良いのであればお勧めです。
一応、それぞれの優勝した場合の映像(喫茶店でのコスプレ優勝者から始まるOP)、プロモーション映像、バカテスの宣伝、文字なしOP.ED、
等が収録されています。上下揃ったこの価格は大変魅力的だと思います。気になった方はいかがでしょう?
