Ahiru no Sora

Excellent anime I really liked there are some episodes that are boring but it's good this anime is good the main character I think is very good The characters are also very good I liked the anime.

I have watched so far 24 episodes and I can tell you that it is really great! I can say the mix of haikyuu because the protagonist is short but its not logic because Ahiru no Sora manga release in 2004 while Haikyuu is 2012. So, let say Haikyuu got inspiration from ANS (Maybe!) and all the yakuza-like character was an inspiration from Sakuragi Hanamichi. A lot of people talk about connection to Kuroko No Basuke too but never watch Kuroko so I dont really care. For me, its full with action, nice character development, great comedy and awesome! Lets watch together!

First of all, it takes 15 episodes to finish a match... Same thing , repeating & repeating. The start was really good. But the last 30 episode was disaster.

It is a clone of Slamdunk with worse characters, poorer graphics, and a more depressing storyline. If you like to watch excellent teams and better players beat up an already disadvantaged team with only seven player only three or four of which can play decently, no proper coach, no proper adviser, non existent training, a dissolved club, this is the show for you. The main character is short, has a sick mom, and poor foundations. It is supposed to be uplifting somewhere but it only ends up being depressing. We are supposed to root for the main team, but one cannot help but be embarassed by their game. Neither the players not the student manager/coach knows what they are doing. You will root for their opponents, who are generally more interesting, trains harder, have better skills, and are more committed. You will wish the Kuzu team gets dissolved.

All I got to say is that if you are looking for a different basketball/sports anime then you should really watch it. All the characters get their shine and you get to see some close-to-realistic basketball play. All the characters are unique and lovable and you really get to see their teamwork improve throughout the series. All in all, a must watch.
