Each team has their own Aces, and below those Aces are above-average important players crucial to the team. Although the GoM's abilities certainly deserve enormous recognition, no individual player-so far-has shown to be as overpowered as claimed which is good. Members of the GoM were depicted as godlike undefeatable players.

Something that has bothered me throughout the series was the exaggerated portrayal of the members of the Generation of Miracles. It's to be expected though, as I believe none of the voice actors use English other than for acting. Voices are well done as usual, the English, however, is horrible. The OP and ED are pleasing, and fit well with the heart-racing action. The characters have more "fluid" movements, and facial expressions are clearer. Scenes where game-play is at peak, is where the artistic improvements are easily visible. Dual gender fan-service is implemented in two or three episodes, but it doesn't hinder the plot.Īrt and sound has improved, not dramatically, but notably. Still, the character development we do get is appreciated and worthwhile. We miss out on the development and improvement of other teams due to the heavy focus on Seirin High. They are mostly seen cheering on the team, rather than competing with the team. The freshman hardly get any playtime, if any at all.

Not all characters receive recognition deserved, and even some of the former "mini-main characters" become less prevalent. The large amount of characters does have its downfall though. Teamwork is demonstrated through many lights, with emotionally supportive remarks accompanied by intermediate coordination, the value of trusting your teammates is highlighted. Each character has their insecurities and doubts when it comes down to their skill level and natural talent, but it's ultimately up to them to decide if they will let that affect them. There are many times where players simply want to give up honestly it's not easy to have endless motivation in face of defeat.

Whether it be three pointers, fakes, dunks, or passes each play is valuable. Aces are prominent as usual, but now regular players are given much more spotlight. Other basketball players too, receive a hefty amount of attention. Kuroko, "the shadow", cheering along with his team speaks volumes about how much character development takes place. Kuroko gains more expression and passion, and remains a glowing catalyst. To top it off, the anime captures viewer's attention by further expanding in the realm of character depth. The entertainment level has reached an all new high, various jaw dropping moments are wisely incorporated to avoid repetition. As stated before, the games have gotten longer, meaning there are less games played but more detail to each specific match. Although shounen abilities are bound to be unrealistic, the anime counteracts some of this illogic by offering thorough explanations behind some abilities such as Kuroko's misdirection.

The shounen aspect of the anime often shines during the intense moments of the game-where players are at full potential. This constant change of pace and strategy creates a fast paced, entertaining battle. However, all teams must bend their play style in order to counter their opponent. Each team has a unique play style, some specializing in more specific areas such as defense, offence, or speed.

There are no more "easy" opponents in this Winter Cup. The level of play has increased to a higher caliber. Games are now longer, more intense, and developed. If anything, the anime has adapted an even faster pace and incorporates an unexpectedly drastic increase in the amount ofĪction per episode. The most notable difference the time-skip offers would be the physical improvement of the players all other improvements-such as unique skills-are publicly developed in season 2. Seiren High-no longer the underdog-is now of equal footing in terms of basketball recognition. The new season begins with a mild time-skip after the inter-high matches. Sequel to season one, Kuroko No Basket 2 does not disappoint. "Even if we lose by 100 points, there’s a chance a meteor will strike the other team’s bench in the last second."-Kuroko Tetsuya
