Kuroko no Basket

Im sorry i had to, i didn't want to cause i dont usually judge a anime by the 1st episode but Holy cow slapping christ that was the best 1st episode of an anime ever!!

If you watched the 1st episode of this anime and if you even slightly awesome, then 2 words automatically...no even magically came to your mind, Slam Dunk. Is it because this anime is about basketball? Nope it because it gives a similar vibe of slam dunk even the characters as well.

Once upon a time, the basketball team of Teikou Middle School rose to distinction by demolishing all competition. The regulars of this team became known as the "Generation of Miracles". After graduating from middle school, these five stars went to different high schools with top basketball teams. However, a fact few know is that there was another player of the "Generation of Miracles", the phantom sixth player.

This mysterious player(Kuroko) is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Tetsuya Kuroko, the sixth member of the "Generation of Miracles", and Kagami, a naturally talented player who spent most of middle school in America, are aiming to bring Seirin to the top of Japan, taking on Kuroko's old teammates one by one.

What surprised me the most about this awesome anime is the soundtrack, yes the soundtrack is so awesome and for once it actually goes well with a sports anime. The music gives off a hip hop feel to it with a unique Japanese spin.

This is a big sigh of relief and big gasp of fresh air from all the romance moe crap that get's thrown in my face all year round, so much that i almost gave up on anime after bleach ended.

Anyway awesome 1st episode and like i said you cant usually cant judge an anime by just the 1st but this is the exception, and in this case it can be really terrible or really awesome and obviously it's the latter. Now if you will excuse me im going to watch it again. read more

I'm no sports anime fan... the most i have watched was Prince of Tennis.... but this anime just suprises me.

At the very start, it was the artwork that made me want to give this anime a try... so i watched it... but it has got me hooked from the 'mysteriousness' of the characters. Making you want to watch on to find out how good they are.....

The things that makes me want to watch on and recommend to all you people is the ups and downs of emotions that you get. At first, excited of what's going on.... then thinking that he's (Kuroko) just an idiot..... then finally another excitment of knowing that he is such an amazing and cool character...... THIS ANIME IS SOOOOO BREATH TAKING!! I litrally held my breath when i was watching it because the matches are sooooo intense and soooooo thrilling!! It has been sooooo long since i have seen an anime that make me think that "animes could be soooooo good!"

Additionally..... Their voices are just great!! the seiyuus (voice actors) for every characters fits their image perfectally....

I don't know what would happen later on (haven't read the manga) but just the first episode draws me (an anime fan that's not a fan of sports anime) into it..... so i expect later on, this anime would keep on suprising me and keep me watching. read more
