Baka & Test – Summon the Beasts 2, the second season of SILVER LINK.'s surreal school comedy, is now streaming in its entirety on Crunchyroll and Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series plunges viewers back into the absurd world of Class F, where students battle for academic superiority using summoned avatars, all while navigating hilariously exaggerated romantic rivalries and blackmail schemes.
This 13-episode season continues the misadventures of Akihisa Yoshii and his classmates. The core premise revolves around the 'Summoner Test Battle' system, where students' academic scores directly translate into the power of their summoned avatars. Class F, the lowest-ranked class, constantly fights against the elite Class A for better facilities, leading to chaotic and often slapstick confrontations.
Beyond the academic warfare, Baka & Test 2 leans heavily into its romantic and comedic elements. The relationships between the male protagonists and the various female characters are a central focus, often devolving into nosebleeds, misunderstandings, and gender-bending hijinks. This season notably introduces new personal crises for the main characters, including blackmail and strange avatar malfunctions, adding layers to the established comedic formula.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.66 from over 230,000 voters, the Baka & Test franchise has cultivated a dedicated fanbase drawn to its unique blend of super-powered school battles and over-the-top romantic comedy. The series' willingness to embrace absurdity, from chibi transformations to surreal humor, makes it a distinctive entry in the school comedy genre. As a finished series, all 13 episodes are available for immediate binge-watching.
