I have NEVER in my life seen more hilarious ways of interpreting height!
The inconsistency of the heights was one of the most funny things. Ever. 193cm? No problem, bro. 2 meters? That's HUGE! We're all dwarves now! Oh no! Also, Kuroko is suddendly as tall as a child. What. No, seriously. My ex was two meters tall. It's tall, yes, but it's not even close to as ginormous as this series at times makes it be. What was this, Attack on Basketball?
BESIDES that I cannot believe I've just spent.. what, eight hours, watching basketball? I've never watched a real match in my life, but
...
this was just interesting. I literally had to get popcorn just to get in the mood and yell at the screen as the matches went on. I was actually with the series the whole time and genuinely wanted to know what would happen next. The characters were so good too. I especially think Kuroko is the funniest thing this world has ever been blessed with. I really want him to surprise someone while they're in the toilet or something. His quiet and stabbing lines got me every. Single. Time. I think I almost cried from laughter a few times.
There wouldn't be a series if something didn't irritate me about it. Kagami. Great character, driven and has a very nice power-balance compared to the others. But.
His eyebrows.
Holy Jesus, why? Every time they zoomed on his face I wanted to get little scissors and cut the annoying, completely unnecessary little spike from his eyebrows. Just. Shimmy the lil scissors in there and quickly snap it. Or take a knife and gently scrape them off. I'm literally fantasizing about it right now. I get that it adds character, but it just. I can't.
That being said, I'm going to watch the second season. And desperately continue pretending to ignore those brows that have become my arch nemesis.

I have never been so aware of the lack of nipples.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest (get it) I just have to say that it really starts getting to you. After marathoning this and the second season you start to question. You've stared at bare chests for hours now. Do nipples.. exist? Are there supposed to be some? Wait, do they even have belly buttons? Oh- thERE - maybe?
I did like this! I mean, the plot's about as shallow as Donald Trumps campaign. But hey, at least this anime isn't a train wreck that might end up as president!
Get this: president without
...
nipples. Have you ever seen Trump's nipples, huh? Food for thought.
Loved the characters. They have just enough personality for you to start liking them. And since much of this anime circles around friends, swimming with friends and progressing with friends.. well. I might as well just have spoiled the whole anime for you. But you should still watch it. It was such a nice and light-hearted story! The competitions have you on the edge of your seat. You might also get delusions about suddenly quitting school/work to become an olympic swimmer, though. Goodbye, family. It was a good run, but my talent calls me. I surely have the best doggy paddle in the whole of Europe.
I also really, really liked their clothes (when they wore some, which wasn't that often). Their clothes were surprisingly western and suited their personalities to a t. They looked cool. They also looked cool without them, but that's not the point.
Yeah, yeah, this anime gets a ton of crap for being ''fanservice''. But who cares. It made me laugh a couple of times, definitely wasn't hard on the eyes and taught me what a relay is. And how it's apparently better than crack if done with the right people.
Might actually watch this again someday. You know. For science.

Okay, first things first. This was a fairly good anime. Not outstanding, but not very bat at all. However, it could have been INSTANTLY improved about 100% if the main characters hair was different. Oh boy, oh boy how I absolutely loathed it (both when he was a kid and when he grew up). It's a petty little detail, but it drove me to absolute rage every time I saw it. It was just a bowl. And the ears peeked out. I think I had a similar cut in the fifth grade and am now traumatized for life.
Putting that aside, I think Sion was an
...
adorable if a bit generic protagonist. The story itself was a bit generic too: there's a good place to live and then there's a bad place to live. I wonder what's gonna happen there..
What really made this anime for me was the relationships, especially the one between Sion and Rat aka the ''I am bad and ooze badness, look I am leaking badass strawberry filling''-character. Rat had a beautiful arc of development and I was left satisfied by it. It feels so good to see someone infected with *gasp* feelings.
It was an ok watch. I'm not going to watch it again, ever, but I don't regret watching it. If you're halfway through eating a cucumber and pondering whether or not to watch this, just ask yourself: do I want to cry? Not ''oh god my chest hurts''-cry but ''damn they got me with that''-cry? Are you ready to gape at a knitting needle only to have Sion ignore it? Are you ready to be amazed that there's gayness in this but they don't shove it in our faces? And get this: they didn't have a crisis about it either. Amazing, I know.
Art reminded me of studio Ghibli for some reason. But like, a cheaper version of it. Music was all right, I guess: none of it stuck to my mind. And that's all I have to say.
