Today we'll talk about the 11th episode of the anime series Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu that is following the "explain the backstories" approach to complete this second season, giving a lot more depth to characters like Minami Shimada and, in this episode, Shouko Kirishima.
Yes, strangely, this series is focusing on the two charactes I like most of this whole series (I'm generally unlucky with the character-to-love choice) and is giving them a lot more weight in the story compared to Mizuki that was the main girl till the first season/OVA.

Today we'll talk about the 8th and 9th episode of the second season of Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu. This anime after a rather "trite" start (focusing on the violence-on-akihisa concept) is slowly returning back to the old combination of battles and funny jokes that made the first season really famous.
In the 8th episode we have a flashback episode focusing entirely on Minami and explaining finally the reasons that made her fall in love with Akihisa. I was really happy to know her full backstory and it turned out to be more sweet than I first thought showing a different, weaker side of Minami when she first arrived in Japan...

Here we are for another post today regarding the seventh episode of the anime series Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu. I've made this exception to the rule "one post per day", because this episode really blasted me away with something I would have NEVER expected that would happen to my favourite character of this show (Minami Shimada)
This episode start with a rather innocuous scene in which our guys continue to plan the attack to the female bathroom, and decide to use the charm of the girls they know to recruit the high level classes (C, B and A) males to fight against the defending army of teachers/girls. (otherwise it would end up in the same way of the previous episodes with some terrible defeat)
Akihisa (stupid as he is) while sending messages to the girls end up mixing a message destinated to a male classmate and send a "Because I love it! Its obvious!" to Minami! (in japanese its more ambiguous as the "it" part isn't specified and can be understood as a "Because I love you"). This happening was right after leaved alone without much developing apart from a quick scene in the middle of the night, but I knew something was definitely off...

Let's go to talk about the fifth and sixth episode of Baka Test to Shoukanjuu II, an anime series currently in air in this summer season 2011 that is somehow forgetting his own origin to focus on a pure violence comedy style revolving around the four couples created in the first season storyline that is Shouko/Yuuji, Yoshii/Himeji/Minami, Kudou/Tsuchiya and in the end Everyone-else/Hideyoshi.
Why I'm talking about forgetting his own origin? Because in these six episodes we saw very little of the originality in ideas and execution shown in the first season like for example the whole class battle concept that was quite interesting and could be developed a little more in this new season especially as they have a rather strong and well developed cast of characters to base their stories on. (I don't know if the content shown till now is canon in the LN, but I'm still unimpressed)

Tonight we'll talk again about the second season of the comedy anime series Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu (precisely about the second and third episode) that is currently on air in this summer season 2011.
This new adaptation/season seems to be shifting out of the battle environment that characterized most of the first season (with multiple class level fighting) to go back to a more pure comedy revolving around our characters that is, by the way, the thing I most loved of the first season and what I was expecting from this new adaptation.
