I am enjoying the show, it always seems to get me to laugh.

I like how it also chucks things in that require rewinding or pausing, like episode 7 had the outline of FMP's Bonta-kun in the background.

I can't believe they're managing to keep this show fun, but somehow it is. Also, effective trap is effective.

I agree with the rest. For some reason, Bake no is able to be funny after a few episodes of being boring. I'm glad to see the show getting back on the comedy train.

What are you talking about Yoshii was clearly not a girl in the new ED. In fact he ruined the experience to enjoy the pretty girls, like Hideyoshi

Episode 8!

A spoiler[sneaky spy is able to damage the ESB generator system thing and manages to create a clever EVA spoof. ]

I loved this episode. The usual jokes appear and I still laugh at them.

I especially liked box-head Sensei and is upgraded form, snake box style sensei Razz

Generally I don't care for shows that ignore a plot and just have hijinx, but Baka has changed my opinion.

So many references! Metal Gear, Mario, Code Geass, Evangelion, you name it.

I especially liked how the principle was always posing with her fingers intertwined like the Evangelion director always does.

It was a good episode, really reminded me that I have to watch Evangelion eventualy. But I recognised others, I especialy liked their choice to parody games more then usual, and cute things gone bad is often a funny concept, though the "mature" Wink were also quite funy. Though I wish I could understand the yaoi bit.

Technically, since they consider Hideyoshi a "girl", i saw it more along the lines of Yuji's mature being falling for Hideyoshi's mature being (eg another girl), which of course displeased Shoko and lead to pain for Yuji.

However, the Yaoi is what the audience is supposed to think I suppose, lol.

But wasn't Yuji's going all over Voyer's, not over Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi' looked girlier then usual. I am pretty sure that is what hapend and why it was so funny and why it caused both Yuji and Voyer to feel so down.

Rewatched the scene. You are correct it is Voyeur and Yuji! That's really weird...guess they were just trying to be funny lol.

Probably the rotating Japanese in the box that the fansub didn't translate holds the key to the scene. That's what we get for the usual group playing friggin Aion instead of subbing -.-

Loved the most recent episode. I figure its been done before, but this is the first time I can recall an anime parodying an entire episode from a series. It worked out so well to the way they pulled it off.

Oh. My. God... last place where I thought I'd see a Metal Gear reference Shocked And Speed, too.

DuskyPredator, they're definitely continuing the theme.

Episode 9.

I dunno how I feel about this one. I was laughing a lot, and I enjoyed all the jokes they threw in. But it was like...missing something. References maybe? Idk. I probably just missed them or something. I keep laughing, so I'll keep watching.

Also, when the heck are we going to have ESBs again?

I dunno, this made me laugh as well. Yeah, they're done with the references for now (even though he left Loveplus out of all his games Razz ), but they have to explore other types of comical situations, and I must say they still don't fail.

I think they're going to return to school pretty soon, there aren't many episodes left.

Well, I for one enjoyed the introduction of E-cup Onii-sama. Rowr! I haven't been a huge fan of this show, but this eppie cracked me up in a number of places. Biggest lol for me: spoiler[(when E-cup deducted points from Aki because he didn't have any brother-sister incest porn).]
