About Kuroko's Basketball

Kuroko's Basketball (黒子のバスケ) blends comedy and sports by Production I.G (2012). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Teikou Junior High School's basketball team is crowned champion three years in a row thanks to five outstanding players who, with their breathtaking and unique skills, leave opponents in despair and fans in admiration. However, after graduating, these teammates, known as "The Generation of Miracles", go their separate ways and now consider each other as rivals.

Further in, at Seirin High School, two newly recruited freshmen prove that they are not everyday basketball players: Taiga Kagami, a promising player returning from the US, and Tetsuya Kuroko. Although Kuroko is neither athletic nor able to score any points, he was a member of Teikou's basketball team, where he played as the "Phantom Sixth Man," who easily passed the ball and assisted his teammates. Kuroko no Basket follows the journey of Seirin's players as they attempt to become the best Japanese high school team by winning the Interhigh Championship.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Tetsuya Kuroko (Kenshou Ono) and Taiga Kagami (Yuuki Ono) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
