Plot
The story centers around a boy named Akihisa Yoshii, also known as the idiot or "Baka" of the titled anime. He attends Fumizuki Academy, a school where the staff rigidly divides the students based on the results of their academic scores. At the start of the school, students are academically sorted by entrance exam test grades. The higher the grades, the higher the class, and the better the benefits. In this case, Class A is filled with the highest-scoring students; therefore, their classroom was filled with many prestigious items (air conditioners, fancy seats, laptops, a free snack bar, etc.), while the state of Class F is the complete opposite of that, representing the "bottom of the barrel" amenities.
This academy has something special, where all the students manage to call forth Summoned Beings (Shōkanjū, or "Avatars" in the official English translation). These Beings are used for battles between classes with the goal of capturing (or retaining) the best classroom facilities. Since Class A is filled with prodigies, they all have strong Summoned Beings, while Class F has drastically weak ones in comparison. A teacher must authorize/supervise each battle, and the health and strength of each summoned being is based on the student's last test score in that teacher's subject (i.e. Math, History, etc.). The beings lose points when struck by an opponent, and should the point count reach zero, the being and student are disqualified. However, if the student can leave the battle before reaching zero, these points can be replenished by taking a supplemental exam. The student's being may then return to the battle.
On the day of the placement test, an intelligent girl named Mizuki Himeji suffers from a fever and is unable to complete her test, hence her reigning in a score of zero. As a result, she is pigeonholed into Class F together with Akihisa Yoshii. Akihisa, who dreams of the day when the academy would no longer be divided by grades, pitches an idea to his class to rule over the higher-level classes by doing a Summoned Being War for both Mizuki's sake and to get more and more privileges. Aside from Mizuki (who happens to be the second-ranked student in the year), there is also the class representative Yūji Sakamoto, the bishōnen Hideyoshi Kinoshita, the perverted Tsuchiya Kouta, and the tomboyish Minami Shimada (who, as Akihisa claims, is his worst enemy).

Well that's about the regular Baka to test.. What about the ova??
here's come a brief explanation about the OVA
well, the ova takes place where the first season left us... it's still the same academy, same character (except some annoying seniors) and nearly the same story... but this time the story revolve around "Refresh Festival" and each class participate in this kind of festival, the result of the festival can be used to buy new equipment for the class... as you can see in the anime Akihisa are trying hard to make the class a better place for Himeji, because that his father claim that class F is not suitable for her, and ask her to transfer from that school. the festival itself divided into two days of event, the first one is Class event and the second day is Exam summoning Contest.. Did akihisa able to save minami??? if you are curious why don't you watch the ova.. :)
to those who want to watch the regular anime.. you can find it here
Well now it's time for my personal view about the OVA
Well as you can see, the first minute you watch the OVA you will find the greatness of the animation and also the Effect.... just like the first season the art are beautifully drawn by the artist and also they like to add some wonderful color or "theme" to the anime... (instead of using regular shadow the often usse some amazing "theme") this is one of the reason why I like Baka to test apart from the story and humor itself oh yeah.. the OP is awesome.. the Video is beautiful and the effect is just awesome. About the humor, I find that the first episode of the OVA is not really interesting, Unlike the second episode of the OVA which is Funny as hell, I can't stop laughing when watching the second episode, SO I really-really recommend this anime to those who have a hard day and need some refreshment..
here is the OP
Awesome OP
My favorite part :)
Well Maybe that's all, thanks for reading
and see you next time
