FREE! ANIME SEASON 1 ANIME REVIEW
-MASAHIRO YOKOTANI
(NOVEMBER 27 2018)


OVERALL: 9

PLOT: 9

There's only two things that made me watch this anime. You know what? The muscles! Is the first thing. The cuteness! Is the second one. Before watching this series, I've come across so many doujins of it. And I've really think that it's just a gay thingy so I've never considered watching it at first. But yeah, the animation attracted me to. This anime shows how happiness in doing what you love to do comes first. It shows how hard it can be to achieve your goal, there are roadblocks on your way, there are so many space for improvement, there are too many people who are far more greater than you on the field you wanted to do. But the one thing that you should not forget is to enjoy each and every step of the way. That it is okay to fail, it is okay to get exhausted, it is okay to slow down, as long as you know what you want and you are happy doing it. But yeah, there are just really sidetrack scenarios which displays unnecessary affections to make fujoshi people heart throbs! Did I say I'm one of those?

CHARACTERS: 8

What makes the characters interesting? What makes them human? For me, it's the purpose of them existing. It's the reason why they are still breathing. It is how they can make the viewer think of what they say. The characters are not required to be likeable, it is more of they should be realistic. Though most of the gestures on this series is not too humanly, the one thing I really love about it is the two type of person a human can be. First is the type of person who know what he wants and can sacrifice everything to get it. And the other one is the person who love what he is doing and just go with the flow. The goal is really the same, to do what they wanted to do, but the view is very different which makes the character feel differently. It even come to the point that the characters detest the bond of their friendship. 

SOUND AND ANIMATION: 10

There's no doubt about this one, the animation is really good. The structure of it, how the proportions of the body was made, how the expression on their faces has been conveyed, it is really great. Additionally, the voices of the characters actually expressed the emotions that needed to be brought upon the characters. In line with the opening and ending songs, they are very catchy and fun to listen to. The mermaid thingy at the ending song are really annoying, but at the same time, it's cute and funny. 

ENJOYMENT: 10

Who is not going to enjoy muscles? Hahaha. Animation is really one of the aspects to enjoy an anime series, honestly. But yeah, of course the message of the story is the main key point in enjoying a series. I guess, this anime tackles all of this. The animation is great, the message of the story is also there, the funny scenarios and the way the creator wanted the viewers to laugh is also present. I did enjoyed watching it and I'm planning to watch the season 2. 

ENDING: 8

The ending is gay! To be honest. I've never imagine a group of guy doing that kind of thing. Oh, don't misunderstand. What I mean is a guy expressing emotional feelings toward other guys are just not a real thing, or am I wrong? But the ending is good. While it is somewhat gay, the character realized that there's no point ignoring the ones he cherish for his dream and just enjoy while he's at it. And I think that's really for the best.

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...
