| That can be true. I didn't watch Slam drunk thought, but if you watch something with refined art and action first you will have much more expectations to the other one. |
| That depends: would you rather have a quick fling with a drunk girl you met at a bar (a beauty to look at and energetic until the end); or would you rather have a long-term relationship with a prude that gives you more drama than action, but she somehow keeps you satisfied enough despite the lack of skill? Unfortunately in this case, both relationships end on a cliffhanger... |

| Don't watch Slam dunk. Nobody grows stronger, they lose all the time, and most of it is drama. |

| If you can look past the old art style of Slam Dunk, you'll find it to be very amusing. If SD had this era's animation, KnB would pale in comparison. With SD I was able to marathon the series in one weekend whereas KnB has been sitting on my list since its first aired and hasn't moved(even though seasons sposed to have finished) |
IntroverTurtle said: Don't watch Slam dunk. Nobody grows stronger, they lose all the time, and most of it is drama. slam dunk is not even in my top10 anime of all time but still. it is a classic but when people say something is classic the other people tend to think its old and arty. well let me get straight to the point. even tho slam dunk was made in the mid 90s it still has great animation. if you manage to watch a decent copy then it would be good. second, storywise comparing the two anime is practically BLASPHEMY. slam dunk is more realistic yet still very shonen-like. by realistic i mean high school kids from japan don't make impossible shots or make 3 pointers from one side to the other. but do other impossible things that is possible in real life like goaltending or jumping like blake griffin which is fine by me thats why it is a shonen anime. everybody grows stronger in slam dunk and they do it in style. first of all all the starting 5 guys in the team are unique guys and not garbage background characters like kuroko no basket's. opponents are all different and have their own unique styles and personalities and their respective teams. also slam dunk is longer episode wise. 10 years later nobody will remember kuroko no baske. slam dunk is a classic now. when kuroko no basket ends, you dont feel anything. when slam dunk ends you feel sad and biter because you probably want more. when kuroko no basket ends you can only continue to read its manga for 5 or 6 more chapters. slam dunk? you finish it as quickly as possible. it is that good. last comparison. slam dunk is actually funny and kuroko no basket is not. i know people have their own tastes but COME ONN!! kuroko no basket is for 5-11 year olds. slam dunk is for 2-105 year olds. so yes. watch slam dunk and if you dont like it then you dont know sh*t about anime. (or you cant get past the 4:3 tv ratio and that my friend i can totally UNDERSTAND but believe me its worth it if you are a sports anime fan) but if you think you can handle watching a 4:3 ratio-ed anime, then you'll probably love it. |

ssjdodo said: To me it was the reverse, I watched Slam Dunk first, really awesome good animation, action, drama, comedy all you could ask. Then when I saw Kuroko no ... I enjoyed it too but it didn't come close to Slam Dunk and it still makes me think why a 8.71 score.Both are great and about basketball. But Slam dunk is old. I plan to watch both but i have a feeling that i may lost interest to Slam dunk if i watched this first. |

People do like the comedy as seen in the thread on the KnB board. I don't like the show, and from your posts it sounds like you don't know shit about anime. No matter how good you think a show is there are people who just don't like it, get over it. |

| Sometimes it comes down to what's realistic, but opinions vary and yours won't make a difference so think of the other traits. Story and Character and Art. Compared to Slam Dunk, Kuroko is childish and complete bullshit. I watched Slam Dunk first and it is honestly one of my favourites, even now. Plus, the author (Takehiko Inoue) is a genius. If you don't believe me, read "Vagabond" or "REAL" and tell me those series lack in art and story and character development. Watching Kuroko after Slam Dunk, makes me think of it as some kind of upstart. If anything, you'll love the characters in Slam Dunk because of how they change. Sure, the characters in Kuroko change too, but it fails in comparison to show just how deep they can go. Slam Dunk is everything a person should want from this type of genre. I'd leave the anime alone to honest, pick up the manga. There's no question after reading it. |

| Slam Dunk is obviously better. Kuroko Basket is childish in comparison to Slam Dunk. |
| Slam Dunk is shit. Kuroko no Basuke is superior in every way. deniz1 said: kuroko no basket is for 5-11 year olds. slam dunk is for 2-105 year olds. Man, you're dumb. |

There may be some truth to that. With all the hype the anime's gotten, the second season may adopt new levels of staff that can make KnB a classic series. I still don't see what makes the series so amazing, I don't remember the manga being so crazed when it started running in Jump. I might've lost touch with what's popular, I guess. |

| It depends on you on what you want to watch first. And I don't think you'll lost interest in watching KNB if you watch Slam Dunk first. I re-watched Slam Dunk many times before I discovered KNB but despite of that I still able to like/love KNB. |

Shadake said: Hahaha. drunk.Slam drunk I tried watching SD waybackwhen. OP even said that the old school art is a turn off - plus it's pretty long. I like basketball, I think it's a cool sport and fun to watch. But the old art is unappealing of SD. KnB is an alright anime. It can be wayyyy to dramatic and toss out the whole "scientific" rules of basketball out of the window (ex: the green haired character's basketball shots defy physics...). It's still fun to watch. |

| kuroke no basket is not realistic ....but slam dunk is what u should watch if you want to know basketball .....the main character are all realistic than kuroko ...but anime doesnot cover everything and and manga also leaves u unsatisfied as you know u could have gotten more...it like the last match was soo great that author didnt want to continue and make it boring |
| I usually start with the shorter show when they're both highly ranked. |
| Watch both, altough Slam Dunk is better in my opinion. |

| It depends, do you want to learn and know about real basketball with awesome characters and drama? then Slam Dunk is for you. Are you into super powered bullshit basketball with hot guys that will make bitches go "AH AH MY HUSBANDO" then Kuroko's for you. |
