Kuroko no Basket: Last Game

I was honestly scared of watching this at first since I heard that this is gonna be the last show from knb, however. When I finally decided to watch it. I truly didn't regret anything. It's so hype & awesome!! Especially Akashi's scenes..

Kuroko no Basket isn't just a sports anime - it's a shonen battle series disguised as basketball. The style is flashy, the physics are broken, and the players have powers that would make NBA players cry. But you know what? That's the point.

The show delivers pure hype. Every match is like a final boss fight.

It's intense. Over-the-top. Ridiculously cool.

You get dunks that break the court, passes that blur through the air, and eyes that literally glow when players enter "the zone."

But what keeps it grounded is the heart.

Kuroko, the "invisible" player, isn't strong or flashy - he wins through teamwork and support. And that contrast, between his quiet style and the loud, ego-driven "Generation of Miracles," gives the show its emotional arc.

It's about more than just winning - it's about what kind of teammate you want to be. And every match pushes that message forward.

TL;DR:

> Kuroko no Basket is flashy, dramatic, and full of energy.

The action may be unrealistic, but the emotion underneath it?

Real, honest, and powerful.

8/10 - Peak sports anime for the hype-lovers and underdog believers.

Note: Informal review for manga readers. But I removed all spoilers regardless.

Amazing animation and editing from start to finish. Even the animation in the exhibition match at the beginning was crazy good.It is also very fast-paced despite the 90 min length. The entire match proceeded with very few interruptions. There were the usual few timeouts, a couple of flashbacks, and very occasionally the scene switched to the spectators but the pace of the movie really amazed me. There were a few times I wanted to take a drink but so much was happening on screen and so fast I couldn't peel my eyes away. A couple of times they intertwined 2 separate scenes from the manga and somehow made those work.

In short, the movie made everything from the manga better. The execution and timing of the jokes were excellent. I laughed with the audience even though I've read the manga probably 10 times. Some people in the audience laughed every single time Murasakibara spoke. His VA is so frigging good with the deadpan delivery.

Practically every dunk and every dribble was beautifully animated. You'll definitely see a lot more ball-handling and dribbling than what you are used to in the anime series.

The heroic moments of a couple of individuals (you'll know who if you've read the manga) before they exited the court were so bad-ass. Music played a huge part in those scenes of course.

The movie largely follows the story and dialogue from the original manga with a few inconsequential details left out and some additional scenes written specially for the movie by Fujimaki (the author of the original manga) himself.

Also, note that there's a post-credits scene.
