You already know these characters, this is just permission to spend five minutes watching them be idiots without plot getting in the way. Muttsurini's surveillance obsession finally pays off as an actual narrative excuse, and the running gags hit harder because you've earned the context. These specials understand that sometimes the best comedy is just your favorite people being exactly who they are.

Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts Specials is a set of six comedy specials from 2010 with a slice-of-life feel. The focus falls on Muttsurini, who snaps secret photos of his classmates, girls and boys alike, and uses the money from those pictures to keep his spying hobby going.
