help Baka & Test - Summon the Beasts OVA FAQ

When does Baka & Test - Summon the Beasts OVA take place in the anime timeline?

The two-part OVA, also known as Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu: Matsuri, was released between the first and second television seasons. It leads into Baka & Test: Summon the Beasts 2 while retaining the Class F cast and the school's Summoned Being battles.

What is the school festival conflict in Baka & Test: Matsuri?

Class F operates a Chinese cafe during Fumizuki Academy's school festival, hoping to improve its finances and reputation. Akihisa Yoshii and Yuuji Sakamoto inevitably become entangled in disputes involving rival classes, sabotage, and the academy's unusual testing system.

How many episodes are in the Baka & Test OVA?

Matsuri consists of two OVA episodes released on Blu-ray and DVD in 2011. Together they provide a longer side story than the short bonus specials included with some Baka & Test releases.

Do I need to watch the first Baka & Test season before Matsuri?

Yes, because the OVA assumes familiarity with Class F, the Summoned Being system, and relationships such as Akihisa's friendships with Mizuki Himeji and Minami Shimada. Watching the 2010 television season first makes its jokes and character rivalries much easier to follow.
