18IF ANIME REVIEW
-ATSUHIRO TOMIOKA


OVERALL: 7.6

PLOT: 9

Have you ever try to write something you think is very interesting? Like you know that it really have that sense and concept which can hook the audience? At first, this series is kind of strange, and confusing. The first episode will make you question its entirety. Is it good? Is it worth the time to watch? But along the story, you'll find the things that the author wanted to tell. You'll find that its plot is a whole other level. This anime shows different kind of stories that tackles about living, how different people are, their status, their goals, their desire, manifest in their mind and bring it into another world which we all really know of. I really feel that there's a deeper meaning the creator of this story wanted to tell his viewer, how precious life is, how vulnerable people can be, how emotions work. This anime just need some serious consideration to really see a whole new perspective into it. 

CHARACTERS: 9

Though most of the characters have only a minimal roles as its an episodic anime, the author did bring their purpose to this series. The author shows how every characters have their own emotions, their own lonesomeness, their pain and hatred towards the real world. This characters do not need a high level of development, they only just need to portray the life the creator wanted them to show us, and they did. They give us the meaning of what living in our world is. The main character is somewhere between fine and cool. He is just a normal person and that's what makes him human. But there's really something on him that feels off. Like he is a psycho character, it feels like he has a different meaning of what being a human is in his own way.

SOUND AND ANIMATION: 7

Most of anime that came from a game is awesome. The animation is out of this world. However, this is not the case on this series. The creation of this one is kind of sluggish. The faces and expressions of the characters is, most of the time, a joke. There are scenario on which the characters are really good, but on the whole, the animation of it is completely a waste. Additionally, some of the dubbings are not properly persuasive. That is why even if the scenario is kind of sad, you really just can't feel any loneliness at all. The fact that it was created last 2017 is a shock. If only it has been created a little more good, with a more delicate and careful touch on it, I think it will really add up the excitement they can gain.

ENJOYMENT: 7

I can't say I did not enjoy this one, because I somewhat did. I really love the part where the story shows how human mind works and how realistic the stories are. The declining part of enjoyment is the animation of it, as well as loopholes that will make you ask why. This anime is not really droppable, but it is also not something I would go tell people to see. Watch at your own risks. 

ENDING: 6

This story leaves the viewer too many questions unsaid. What actually happen to the protagonist? Why is he the one who can see the others nightmare? Why is he called brother? And others. There are questions that did not answer by this series even it has already ended. Also, the result of how the antagonist has changed is lame and feels like "just needed to finish this anime." Though the balance between men and women, and the reason of the antagonist is a really good concept for me.

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIE 4 LAST GAME SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI When you thought that the story ends after the Winter Cup Tournament, this movie turns out to be the final phase of the story. Well, basketball does not end in one's country. After winning the game, there is no doubt that another player, much more talented, much more better, will go your way. During the movie, American Basketball Team, famous in the field of Basketball visited Japan. A point where all of the members of the Generations of Miracles, along with Kuroko and Kagami, will have to fight them comes. It is a very interesting and exciting movie since it will be the first time showing how they play as a real team. How they realize that there are players who can match up on their level, who can take them head on, that will trigger them to do more than what they are doing. And to depend on their teammates because basketball is a five player game and not one. Well, Kuroko did made them realize that fact. What I find k...

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI 1. Movie 1 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Kage to Hikari 2. Movie 2 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Namida no Saki e 3. Movie 3 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Tobira no Mukou Movie one, two, and three is a summarize version of Season one, two, and three. Though unlike the Season one series where it tackles first the plays Seirin made in order to participate in the Winter Cup and Season 2 moving on to the tournament itself, the Movies focuses on the Winter Cup alone and show only a bit of introduction from the Season one series. The movies consist of the highlights and the outplays Team Seirin did in order to defeat every team with a Generation of Miracles member. It is a waste not to watch them but I decided not to. Not because it will be a waste of time but I know that watching it will make my memory jumble. Since I've watched each episodes of all three seasons, I already know how the story goes. But apart from that fact, every bit of extras, no...
