If you enjoyed Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu 2, but perhaps missed all the physical transformation action that was a little light in this OVA, then you'd likely enjoy Accel World. These anime are both based much within a school environment and school life, contain strong elements of 'transformation' into avatars for the sake of battle within a virtual environment, and also contain very similar notes of mismatched love interests and competing females. Both of these series contain a sense of trial and achievement - one with a slightly more contextually serious undertone, and the other with a more comedic one - however both are main drivers in character and plot development throughout each series.

Assassination Classroom

A humorous and action-packed story about a class of misfits who are trying to kill their new teacher – an alien octopus with bizarre powers and super strength! The teacher has just destroyed the moon and is threatening to destroy the earth – unless his students can destroy him first. What makes things more complicated is that he's the best teacher they've ever had!

Both shows have the central theme of the underdog class in a school with implicit (and explicit) idiots being asked to perform enormous feats. Whereas in Ansatsu Kyoushitsu this means saving the world, in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu it is more for personal betterment. 

Furthermore, while both shows have its main focus on comedy,the also contain some serious arcs (in Ansatsu Kyoushitsu more in the form of action and psychological, where in Baka to Test it is more drama and light romance)

Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta

Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta

I, Maehara Maki, someone who couldn’t make any acquaintances or friends in high school, finally had someone I can hang out with outside of school. A girl. Her name was Asanagi-san. The boys in my class called her ‘The class’ second cutest girl’ behind her back. On Fridays, she would refuse her best friend, Amami, ‘the cutest girl in class’ invitation just to hang out in my house with me. Together, we played games, watched some movies, read some manga while eating junk foods like pizza and hamburgers, and chugging cola without a care in the world. To others, we may seem sloppy, but it was a precious, secret time together for Asanagi-san and myself.

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote

Yugure Yuhi and Utatane Yasumi, two high school voice actresses who just happened to attend the same school and coincidentally got placed into the same class, are the two hosts of a radio weekly program. As fellow classmates and voice actresses, they show all the listeners their great friendship! At least, on the surface. In reality, the quiet girl Chika and the gyaru Yumiko are complete opposites. And they absolutely cannot stand each other. Off air, chaos and insults erupt. On air, they're the best of friends. Just where will this tumultuous relationship lead them?

Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!

Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!

"Huh? Who are you calling loser?" As the background of the class, I, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, witnessed a popular girl—Anna Yanami—getting rejected by another guy. "Even though he said we'll get married. Don't you think he's pretty mean?" "When did he say that?" "When we were 4 or 5 years old." That doesn't count, right? With this, the losing heroines like Remon Yakishio from the track and field club and Chika Komari from the literature club."Nukumizu-kun. There are two types of girls: childhood friends or cheating cats." "I see. Well, that's a bold statement." There's a fortune for those who shine only after losing. Losing heroines—the curtain to the mysterious coming-of-age story Makeine opens now!

When one is afflicted with chuunibyou syndrome, a "disease" that makes one prone to delusional flights of fancy, even the most mundane, everyday tasks can turn into an epic saga. For chuunibyou-sufferer Rikka, formerly-ill Yuuta and the rest of their friends, learning to play volleyball, an evening stroll through the park, or just going shopping for dinner become noteworthy events given Rikka's zany tendencies! And will a look at Rikka and Yuuta's mysterious pasts explain it all, or just raise more questions?
