Kuroko no Basket Anime Review

Everyone has encountered a “ghost kid” at least once in their life. I’m talking about the kid that walks into class without anyone noticing, or the unknown kid in a group photo. These are the people that simply don’t have much of a presence when they are in a crowd. Enter Tetsuya Kuroko, a freshman at Seirin High School that is never noticed by anyone. Kuroko has the ability to be forgotten, unaccounted for and unnoticed by everyone because of what little presence he has. This proves especially useful for him on the basketball court, where everyone is focused on the ball, allowing Kuroko to move around on the court without anyone taking notice of him. He teams up with another freshman named Taiga Kagami, aiming to make Kagami the best basketball player in Japan. Where Kagami is tall, muscular, and loud, Kuroko is short, thin and incredibly quiet, making them an unlikely pair. The two of them join Seirin High’s basketball team, meeting the other players on the team. The observant, pun-master: Point guard Shun Izuki. Silent and hardworking hook-shot expert: Center Rinnosuke Mitobe. Finally, the wise and dedicated shooting guard Junpei Hyuuga. The team competes with other high school teams in Japan in an attempt to become number one in Japan. However, standing in their way are the unstoppable former members of the Teiko Middle School Basketball Club known as Generation of Miracles. The Generation of Miracles has broken up and all of the members have joined separate high school teams, ready to compete with Seirin High for the gold.
