About Ahiru no Sora

Meet Ahiru no Sora, a comedy, school and shounen anime by Diomedea (2019). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Lacking what is considered the most important asset in basketball, Sora Kurumatani has struggled with his short height since the inception of his love for the game. Despite missing this beneficial aspect, Sora's unwavering drive never allowed his small stature to dictate his ability to play, believing strongly in striving his hardest and persistently practicing to prove his capability.

As things develop, in hopes of satisfying his mother's wishes, Sora enters Kuzuryuu High School to become a member of the basketball club and compete wholeheartedly in tournaments. However, Sora is disappointed to find out that the boy's basketball team is nothing but a retreat for punks who have no interest in the sport. Sora also comes to learn that brothers Chiaki and Momoharu Hanazono—whom he turns into acquainted with—have also lost their once spirited motivation to play.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
