This anime was in my "planning to watch" list for a while and I finally decided to check it out.

STORY: well, the main plot has been already written, so I won't repeat it. I like sports anime and I've honestly enjoyed this. Of course it is a bit unrealistic: high school basket players doing incredible shots, extreme jumps and faster than light passages? Sure, why not! But in an anime, anything can happen...
The story is exciting, you just wanna watch episode after episode (I watched it all in 2 days): there are moments when the characters are under so much pressure (happens often considering the number of games they have to play in such a short time), but there are also hilarious moments (Kuroko's ability to be 'invisible' spurs interesting reactions; the coach and her attempts with cooking, etc...).
This anime shows that (a) it's important to enjoy something with your friends, (b) team work makes you achieve great things, (c) friendships and relationships in general should be based on trust, (d) always do your best and, even if you lose, make a step forward to become a better person (and player).

ART: well, I've seen better, but it's not really bad either.

SOUND: the OP and ED were good, didn't pay much attention to the music during scenes.

CHARACTER: oh boy, where to start? the Generation of Miracles is made of... 'extreme' and 'out of this world' guys; the Seirin Basketball Club is a mix of weird and interesting characters; and then there's Kuroko... The good thing is that, through the story, we see all of them develop and grow up: they improve, relationships change, even the always-almost-invisible Kuroko manages to start showing a different side of himself.

ENJOYMENT: I loved it. This anime got me hooked since episode 1. I've read several comments and other reviews, where the most common criticism was "it's too unrealistic" and "there's too much room for fanservice moments". Honestly, this is an anime, some of the characters are described as "miracles", of course there would be things out of the ordinary. But that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

OVERALL: I honestly recommend it, even to people who are not sports fans. It is funny, there's lot of action, there are sad moments and hilarious situations. Bonus point because there are only a very very few hints about romance (which is good IMO because it's really not important here and it wold have probably turned the anime into something not so enjoyable).

The only down thing about this anime is that the story isn't finished yet (the manga is still ongoing), so there is so much more that is waiting to be shown (which makes me hope for a new season? as soon as more manga chapters come out)
