12/17/2022 0 Comments Kuroko no basuke opening 1![]() The story follows this team as they recruit an American basketball prodigy with loads of potential, and Kurok the "sixth man" of the "miracle of generations", a squad considered to be the most talented basketball team assembled ever. While the team didn't do well, they regarded their first year a personal victory as they weren't expected to do much at all. Kuroko's Basketball focuses on a school that only formed one year prior to when the story takes place. Maybe you'll get further along than I did. If you love basketball and high production values, by all means give it a try. If you're easily bored by bad/uninspiring characters and motivations, save yourself some time and go watch a gem like Haikyu! or Hajime no Ippo instead. Kuroko characters are bland, cardboard cutouts. The difference is that Big Windup! at least gives you a reason to root for the main character by giving him some past and some emotion. Kuroko reminds me a little bit of the main character of Big Windup! (a show which I like despite its flaws) in that both of their social incompetence is bordering unbelivable and mentally deficient/ill. I'm a little surprised this series gets so much love. You don't really see a huge struggle or wall for them to overcome, just a bunch legendary foes to beat one-on-one who are easily as one dimensional as Kuroko himself. You never really get a glimpse at the past life of the characters or their real motivation outside of being the best. The unique "skill" of at least one or two of the characters is so ridiculous it wipes the earlier mentioned believability right out the window. The same can be said for most of the supporting cast of friends and foes. But for me, personally, it just makes the character completely unlikable, unrelatable, boring and at that point, why root for him? I'm sure there's an argument to be made that the entire point of his lack of character is to further illustrate his. The production values are high but the characters are weak. I've wanted to like this show and get through all 3 seasons, but always sputter out by the time the first 25 episodes or so come to an end. It's the way so many writers and studios pair the sweetness, bitterness and naivete of youth and friendship with well-paced action, fleshed-out and believable characters inside and outside of the sport and their growth through losses and triumphs. I've been hooked ever since Hajime No Ippo in my teens and fell in love with a handful of series' despite not being a fan of boxing or whatever sport they played. All battles have a good dramaturgy and powers aren't exaggerated.There's no real emotions, because you always know how it's gonna end, but trust me: you can be excited :) We have very nice animations, pretty good music and sound effects. But if you don't watch too many episodes at once, it can be really fun. Sounds stupid and boring? Well, partly it is. They just play match after match with one scheme: at the beginning Seirin are losing, but at the end they wins, because they found the way to deactivate opponents powers or/and they activate own powers on new level. Main characters don't have life outside of the game, we don't know their motivations (only "I want to be the best!"), fears or problems. Everyone have some super powers and they activate them one by one.Unfortunately there's no real plot - it's all about action on court. ![]() There's no tactics, no one know anything about this sport, basketball rules exist only in part etc.Generally it's like Dragon Ball in school gym. They have the same ball, they play on basketball court and that's it. Kuroko's Basketball isn't about basketball. then go for Slam Dunk (or eventually Dear Boys). The first half of the episode was a brief recap on the things that happened in the second season.Do you love basketball? You want to watch great anime about your favorite sport?! Well. I mean, the first episode of the third season served its purpose well. On to the review (though I’m not sure I’m doing this right haha) The opening song pretty much narrated to us the events that’d be happening in the next few episodes but I’m not going to discuss that. Being the second-half-of-2014-deprived-of-anime-fangirl that I am, seeing familiar faces in the opening song was enough to excite me! ![]() I knew I recognized the voices since it was GRANRODEO who sang the opening song. I couldn’t help but gasp with seeing the Generation of Miracles walk in different paths then transforming (well, more like just changing) into their current team’s uniforms. The opening sequence was an intro of the Teiko Middle School basketball team, much like how they did with the first season, only with different animation which I thought was pretty badass. THEY’RE BACK! And boy does it give me goosebumps and maybe a tear here.
