Sports anime has now become a genre in itself but out of all the anime in this genre, one of the most popular names is ‘Kuroko no Basket’. I used khổng lồ be a big basketball enthusiast back in the day và ‘Slam Dunk’ had always been my go-to anime for my dose of the sports genre. That’s because its chip core premise always relied on the spirit of the game and not on any other mundane elements. So after watching a really good anime from this genre, I was hesitant to pick up a new one of the same kind because I was afraid that it may not excite me as much as ‘Slam Dunk’. But once I finally did give it a shot, I realized what a big mistake it would have been had I chosen to lớn avoid it.

‘Kuroko no Basket’ sets a standard right from the first few episodes và builds up a status quo for most of the main characters. From the third episode itself, you get lớn see a basketball match that is full of exciting moves & slam dunks. The best part about it is that it ignores the technicality of the thể thao and focuses more on the excitement & drama around it. Some might see this as a negative but if you really want to lớn focus too much on the fouls and time-outs side of a sport, then why are you even watching an anime? ‘Kuroko no Basket’ brings in the right balance between the technical side of the game and the heart pumping adrenaline rush of it. This turned out to be a very smart move and because of this, the series becomes enjoyable for even the casual anime viewers who may not really be into the sport.

Another great thing about ‘Kuroko no Basket’ is that it drives the plot through the basketball matches using two different plot points: one is the use of relationships between the characters who are either involved in the same teams or in the opposite teams. This helps in simultaneous character development without losing focus on the main motive of the premise; the other plot point focuses on the game itself and is driven by the abilities of different players. It’s really enjoyable to lớn see how each of them display their chất lượng prodigal abilities và grow as players over time. This not only allows a smooth character progression but also adds a lot of value to each basketball match where the presence of each player becomes very significant.

Even the music of the show gets you all fired up with heavy electric guitar riffs & solos in the background. The opening và the closing themes also feature rock music, which warms you up for a new episode và prepares you for all the basketball kích hoạt that is coming your way. One thing that gets annoying at the beginning of each episode is the introduction of the “Generation of Miracles” before each episode. While I bởi understand the sentiments behind this, I feel it should only be shown for the first few episodes.

I still wouldn’t say that it’s better than ‘Slam Dunk’ but for me, it is undoubtedly one of the best sports anime ever made. Even if you have no interest in basketball or even sports in general, the thrill và the excitement of the show are enough to make it extremely memorable. And if you happen khổng lồ be a basketball fanatic, then this will be the ultimate motivator for you to start shooting some hoops.

Following that, a sequel movie named ‘Kuroko no Basket Movie 4: The Last Game’ was released on March 18, 2017.

As much as I would love to lớn watch a new season of the anime, as of now, it seems very less likely that there will be one. This is because the manga has been labeled as “complete”. The final movie has a very conclusive ending leaving no scope for any more side stories và almost all the characters of the team, who are third years, have graduated. So even if the creators decide khổng lồ come up with a new season, they’ll have to lớn replace the old characters with new ones. That could be one huge risk because the viewers have very well connected with the current characters.

At this point‘Kuroko no Basket’ season 4 release date of 2021 or 2022 seems like a distant dream. We will update this section as soon as we learn more.

Tetsuya is the main protagonist of the show & is known as the phantom because of his impeccable misdirection and passing skills. The reason why no one’s really able khổng lồ notice him while he passes the ball is because of his extremely tiny built, which allows him to stay “invisible”. He has light xanh hair that matches his xanh eyes và he often walks around with a blank, dull look on his face. There is nothing more to lớn him than what is visible on the outside & just lượt thích his presence in the court, he remains unnoticed in real life as well. He works really hard on his gameplay and always tends to put the needs of the team in front of his own. He never tries to lớn strive for glory all on his own through any kind of solo gameplay.

While he may appear khổng lồ be very fragile and calm most of the times, his intolerance towards foul play turns him into an absolute beast. When he’s pissed off, even the biggest of players can have a hard time beating him up because deep within him, he has an undying fighting spirit.

Which means that he always plays for someone else and if the player he is playing for is strong, then his game play improves considerably. In the Seirin High School team, Tetsuya plays as the shadow of Kagami.
