I had wanted to watch this show for years. When I first started watching sports anime with Haikyuu!, I kept hearing about Kuroko’s Basketball. Finally watching it, I see why people compare the two. Both shows make you truly like all the players, even the ones on the opposing teams. I don’t mean to keep bringing up Haikyuu!, but for me, Haikyuu! Is truly an epitome of sports anime…and Kuroko…while good, also left much to be desired. This is entirely my opinion of course, and it is a good show on its own merit. But having watched Haikyuu! First, I felt less impressed by Kuroko’s Basketball. A lot of this show focused on our main character’s past teammates from the generation of miracles, and not a whole lot on his current teammates. I understand that the generation of miracles are all important characters to the show’s plot, but I’d have liked to learn more about Seirin’s current team. Another thing I wish was a bit different is that I don’t think Seirin had enough downfalls. They were already a good team before Kuroko and Kagami joined. So it doesn’t feel like their talents have as big an impact. Overall, Kuroko’s Basketball is a fine show, but I don’t know if I’d rewatch it again.
