Baka to Test to Shokanju Anime Announced

The May issue of Monthly Dragon Age magazine has formally announced the development of a Baka to Test to Shokanju (The Idiot, the Test, and Summoned Creatures) anime based on Kenji Inoue’s series of comical romantic fantasy novels. The light novel series, which debuted in 2007 and presently has five volumes, is set in a school that strictly stratifies students, and the comforts of their classrooms, by test scores. The lowest ranked class rallies to use experimental fantasy summoned monsters to battle the higher ranked classes for school supremacy.

The Moon Phase Diary fan site reports that director Shin Oonuma (Natsu no Arashi!, Pani Poni Dash!) will helm the production at studio SILVER LINK (Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity-) for a January 2010 broadcast premiere.
