Teikou Middle School basketball club: an incredibly strong team with over one hundred members and three consecutive championship wins. Amongst their brilliant record, was a generation of five prodigies known as the "Generation of Miracles." However, there was a strange rumor concerning the Generation of Miracles about one more player recognized by the five prodigies... a phantom sixth man.
When Kagami Taiga joins Seirin High School's basketball team, he meets Kuroko Tetsuya, a horrendously bad player. Kagami is shocked to find out that Kuroko is the rumored sixth man of the Generation of Miracles. Not only is Kuroko terrible at everything from dribbling to shooting, he lacks so much presence on the court that at times people even forget he's playing. But during games Kuroko uses that lack of presence to his advantage, specializing in passing the ball to stronger players. In order to become the best player in Japan, Kagami agrees to team up with Kuroko to defeat the other members of the Generation of Miracles.
Kuroko.......Kagami........Shadow and Light........Basketball, the way you want, in an anime.
The story is overall excellent with great animation, for an entertainment factor that is high. The dialogue is a bit underdone or overdone depending on your personal outlook, but not to bad either way, even if it does drag the show down just a tad in my opinion.
Kuroko no Basuke Season 3 continues to deliver one basket after another, and delves a bit deeper into the characters while not going so far as to add big drama and ruin the almost shounen feel.
This is how sports anime should be. Definitely worth checking out from the beginning.
