Unboxing [US]: Baka & Test: Summon the Beasts - Season 1 (BD/DVD)

A re-post for the new unboxing format I will be doing for my blog. To start of, here's the first season of Baka & Test: Summon the Beasts, distributed by Funimation Entertainment. My first imported copy from the United States and also bought rather cheap from United Publications.


This product contains the Blu-ray release and DVD release in Standard edition as the Limited Edition was sold out everywhere and now out of print. Both editions are exactly the same in terms of disc content. The Standard version that I have bought includes all thirteen episodes through two Blu-ray discs and three DVD discs (the third disc is just extras). Alongside the main episodes is the special christmas footage that was released before the first season aired. A reversible cover is also included.

Plot:
The story centers around Akihisa Yoshii, the "baka" of the title. His academy rigidly divides up the student body into classes based on the results of tests. The prodigies are in the A class with reclining seats complete with air conditioning, but Akihisa is in F class, the lowest rung of the school ladder which is furnished only with low, decrepit tables and worn-out straw tatami mats. A girl named Mizuki Himeji is actually one of the smartest girls in Akihisa's sophomore year, but she had a fever on test day and was pigeonholed into the F class. Besides Mizuki (who Akihisa secretly adores), the F class also has Yuuji Sakamoto, the class president who has been Akihisa's friend and partner-in-crime since the freshman year. The school happens to have developed experiments to summon fantasy creatures, and Akihisa decides to rally F class to take on the higher-tiered classes and seize their perks. The F class uses the summoned creatures in an all-out battle for school supremacy.
