It's a sports anime, a basketball one to be more exactly, and the only one I know so far from this category, and exceeded my expectations.
I don't have anything to complain about at this anime, the basketball matches are very entertaining, and I love being a witnesser at how real teamwork should be.
The show is way more than awesome, and can be easily compared and hit a scale of enjoyment to that of other sports anime like Free! or Haikyuu!.
The single thing that I felt discomfort in, was that some matches lasted even 6 or 10 episodes of the show, and many left us with a cliffhanger, and there was little backstory to tell us. But is good to mention how the anime mixed the "fabulous" with the "real", and how it aborded "arcs" of story. And here I'm speaking about the special moves, or the "zones" of the characters, who were something extra for the show, and they were also well explained about how were they being executed and not just smashed into your faces with someone saying "it's just an anime, it's normal to have imaginary things", moves like Invisible Pass or Phantom Shot really got me excited. Now about the arcs that this anime aborded during the entire 3 seasons of it, are really good quantitive ones and entertaining.
Another wonderful thing to mention is how the anime paid attention to even the smallest things, and if we're thinking that it kept it's animation style until the end, which wasn't such an exactly miraculous one being an anime that aired in 2012, the small details like uniforms, food, shoes, realism, and even bringing the feminine NBA team in talks at the moment, are great!
This anime is a really entertaining one, that really deserves to be watched and appreciated by a whole lot more people, that's why I support it!
So, to do a summary, in the end, the story is a very good one, awesome shaped and the different arcs that it takes are beautiful. The art is good, being an anime from 2012. The sounds are good too, especially when the special moves were taken place. The characters are awesome ones, each with a personality and an interesting backstory. And in the end and overall, the whole anime is a 9! (despite the fact I've given an 8 to the first season oops)
I highly recommend watching this anime, and given the fact it's very similar to my favorite anime Free! :D.
