They tried...Just another basketball-based anime. Though unlike slam dunk and dear boys which leaves a huge impact on the audience, it is somehow entertaining. i read some reviews about this anime and saying that it suck is totally unfair. It is not as exciting as those i have mentioned earlier but it's entertaining or maybe i'm just a huge fan of basketball. hehe i'm not a fan of its art but it has some attratctive guys or gorans there.
The story obviously revolves around a blue-haired kid (hideyoshi) with extraordinary talent he always bad mouth his opponents saying he'll win and he makes sure he does. but knowing the nature of the game, nobody wins it straight. in a world where aliens(gorans) dominate the court, the humans are underestimated saying they can never enter the major league and so this old man decided to form a team of earthlings with one goal that is to make it to that impossible league. our protagonist entered this team gathered by the old man and so their struggle began. challenges were inevitable and one pops out after another and hideyoshi's feeling ill during the most important games. i guess i'll leave it up there. i dont wana give any spoiler.
this could have been a better anime though the idea of a basketball battle between humans and aliens was a little unusual, but if they had made it longer maybe this anime could be more enjoyable. it only has 13 episodes each season, what could you possibly show in that little amount of time right? in summary, it's like slam dunk and yu yu hakusho combined.well, that wraps it up for me, it's just fair enough anime.
