Not a shocker but still a bit sad.

Baka and Test together with The Pet Girl of Sakurasou are 2 shows i discovered at the same time in 2018 (i had a 10 year long hiatus from watching anime from 2008 - 2018) and those 2 shows helped me through a rough time for me.

Baka and Test is the show i rewatch the most out of anything, when ever i feel i need a good laugh i can put it on and get a good laugh and forget my worries.

Now if only we could get the Light Novel official translated

TIL that Grand Blue and Baka & Test were written by the same person.

No surprise. The 2000s anime trends that shows like Baka to Test, Ben-To, My Bride Is A Mermaid, School Rumble, Nourin etc were parodying are no longer current, which HOPEFULLY we will be able to say 10 years from now about anyone wanting that last season for Kono-Suba, Cautious Hero and How Not To Summon a Demon Lord. Also, the heavy fanservice in Baka To Test - as well as all the other shows listed above - wouldn't pass muster in an era where slice of life shows in school settings like even 2.5 Dimensional Seduction have to be family friendly. Makes me wonder if that's one reason why fantasy settings, isekai or not, retain their popularity these days as they can get away with a whole lot more, even if they keep the teenagers in school setting.

Grand Blue has enough material to bring us to Season 5 or 6, I will keep asking for more.
