I recently finished the anime Kuroko no Basuke and it has been the anime I have watch through the quickest. The anime is about a generation of prodigies who played for the same middle school and have dubbed themselves the "Generations of Miracles". While most of the players have gone onto recognizable schools the Phantom sixth man of the group has joined Seirin high school. Kuroko Tetsuya has agreed to make Kagami Taiga the best player in Japan. The story evolves a lot from there and it is interesting to watch because of the fast paced "battles". Although the matches between the schools are exaggerated as each player has almost a special move they have named. It makes the matches even more like a battle in an anime. They use the moral that hard work can overcome natural talent.
The large range of characters in this anime makes it even more fun to watch, you begin to cheer for not only Seirin but some of the other teams. Because the anime was based on basketball many people would think that it wouldn't be interesting to watch if they didn't like basketball, but you don't need to like or know about the sport to watch the anime. I didn't know anything about basketball except the basics and it was still enjoyable to watch.
It's weird how the name of the anime is Kuroko's basketball even though the anime is hardly about him, it may have been Kuroko to begin the transformation of all the members but he himself plays a small part on the court. Personally my favorite character is Aomine Daiki, his attitude and style of playing is the best to watch.
Instead of a tradition style the sleek movement makes his play different from everyone else's. The author's efforts into making a personality for over 20 characters make the days go by faster as you want to finish the next battle and the next battle. Currently the anime is up to the point where they show the old Generation of Miracles. Akashi's transformation will likely take place here. His ability the "Emperor's Eye" is one of the more unrealistic abilities of all the GoM. I would have liked to see the Kuroko no Basuke Repeats to be made into a OVA since the matches are usually back to back. You hardly get to see the characters out of the basketball court.
Last thing- NUMBER 2 IS ADORABLE.
The innocent little puppy was one of the best additions to the anime, and his small cameos in the episodes are always adorable...even when he peed in Midorima's cart.
WOW IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The anime FINALLY finished and I'd just like to say how AWESOME it was - everyone has to watch it, seriously. At the last game where Akashi told Kuroko that Kuroko is not a shadow anymore with those flashy moves he used in the past, man did I get depressed and passed at Akashi. But that's not the important part because in the last episode (SOB why cruel world!?) Kuroko totally has the ball and uses his cool drive to pass the ball to Kagami. The coolest part is when he says (in a SASSY way) to Akashi, "I am the shadow" (or something like that cuz seriously, I'm not going all the way back to the anime since I'm on my phone) and DAMN was it nice when Akashi started crying. FEEL THE PAIN! BURN BABY! Just joking, I love Akashi too. Heck I LOVE THE WHOLE GENERATION OF MIRACLES but I'll always have a special place for you Kuroko and number 2.
