Usually, all sports anime have one thing in common with all of their stories, and that is to be the best in that sport. This anime is one of the many other anime that have done really well sticking to its story. Even if there was a filler, it was because that parts of the story may have been needed to be explained. There isn't a lot of dragging, but I am annoyed at the fact that one quarter of a match is 1 or more episodes. If you watch and play basketball, like I do, then you would be surprised at what the players can do. Some of them can shoot from the backcourt, some having the ability to fly up in the air or maybe copying an opponent's move without practicing it. Yes it sounds crazy, but if you were watching a basketball anime, you'd like to see something unexpected. If you don't like watching superhuman powers, then you might as well just watch an NBA game. Also, if you know the rules of basketball, then you would be angry at screaming at a player that does a travel and it isn't called.
For me, the art style in the anime gets progressively better each season. The animation is quite smooth but it gets progressively smoother and smoother, with more abilities being revealed from each character. The colours of their hair may seem unnatural, but hey, this is anime.
The sound was probably one of the main factors in this anime and the reason why this anime succeeded. The soundtracks that play actually engage your emotions and give you goosebumps. I was shaking because of how epic a match was! I also liked most of the OP and ED. It was really catchy for me.
For me, there weren't any characters that I disliked at all, even if they were an antigonist. Each character was very unique and had their own unique abilities. The GoM were introduced as a scary and overpowered, but once they are defeated, they show their weak or good side, making them likeable. The character development in the anime wasn't too rushed. If they wanted to train their abilities, it isn't just a POOF and here is a godly power where you stop time and block every shot. They work hard and have a hardworking ability. Also, this anime shows that the protagonist always wins in some situations.
I enjoyed this anime a lot. A cousin of mine showed me this anime and since that day, I was really addicted to this anime. I would be shaking if there was an epic scene in anime. This anime also made me go back to playing basketball, so thanks Kuroko.
Overall, a 9/10. There are a lot of cliff hangers in the anime, but that's more of a reason to continue watching. Would I re-watch this? Yes, I would love to.
