That is, Kuroko no Basket has been widely criticised for the lack of a real depiction of the basketball play. So let's clarify this point from the begining: the truth is that the abilities of all the characters are actually very exagerated and at some points it really feels like you are watching Naruto characters playing a match. So yes, if you are looking for a realistic representation of basketball, this anime might make you laugh hard or even cry at some points, even though the approach that lies behind these "unrealistic skills" is kind of well formulated all the same...
Nevertheless, if you just enjoy stories about team game, endeavor, friendship and personal development, this anime is well worth watching.
One of the best aspects of Kuroko no Basket is by far its ability to embody the "Let your actions speak for you" concept. The story revolves around Kuroko, a nice boy with a weird skill. Kuroko and his new high-school basketball team have to play against his former team-mates in a number of matches. Each of these opponents has a different personality, different skills and different background to be developed in various arcs thoughout the 3 seasons (not too deeply though). In each encounter, Kuroko's basket style and philosophy affects the percetion these characters have about themselves and the way they relate with the sport, helping them to grow. In my opinion, this and only this, is what makes Kuroko no Basket such an ejoyable story.
Along the way we meet this fairly charismatic bunch of characters which have pretty well elaborated personalities and it's easy to sympathise with all of them, which becomes a good thing and a bad thing at once. It is a bad thing because during the games it is rather difficult to take sides, since you come to like them all, but it's also a good thing since it makes it the more interesting and it makes you thrill no matter who wins. In addition the seiyuu cast is great and they do all an amazing job performing the particularities of each character.
Besides, this anime has an interesting soundtrack with highly enjoyable openings and endings (special mention to ending 2 of 2nd season) as well as awesome character songs performed by the various voice actors, which is not strictly part of the series, but I highly recommend.
