Please read manga......... A good storyline has emotional touches and has realism in it. But, animation is outright shit. It is a slideshow, and key moments are implied instead of explicitly shown. I would recommend reading manga over watching anime, but just rating high, hoping people will learn about this fantastic piece.
Pros:
1. Not everything is in your favour. You counter adversities one by one. This manga/anime shows that throughout.
2. Focused on developing many characters apart from the characters in the team.
3. Highly focused on strategies.
Cons
Bad animation. It is a slideshow with missing key moments. Manga has better visuals than anime. If a good move happens, you have to guess it because the animation will skip. At this point, they have just taken panels from manga and col…

I really enjoy basketball so for me it's hard to see such potencial wasted.
Ahiru no Sora in order to develop the characters nerfed our main protagonist through the entire show.
The animation it's decent, the characters are being developed. But our main protagonist that have his name in the anime title, just vanish through the show. I don't know the original source but to have such a useless protagonist kills the entire show.
Even though the animation is pretty decent, it can't save the story.
Ahiru no Sora fails in build and keep the hype. Sora it's sold as a badass hidden and unpolished gem, but in the reality he's nothing near this. I was getting more and more frustrated about the development of the anime.
I wouldn't recommend this, they made 50 episodes and still doesn't properl…

I see a lot of comments of people that Say its boring i would say as a basketball fan this anime is complete. It shows every aspect of what a basketball game is it highlight most of the values of being young and dedicated and passionnante about a sport. I felt like when i was playing all the emotions that this anime is displaying and not only being hype like in Kuroko there is much more depht to the story.
50 ep isn't enough i would like to see a S2 as its only the beginning its rising from the ashes ( for those who saw it and have the ref 🤣 ). For every sport fan i recommand this anime 100%

This is a good basketball anime, it is hard for basketball anime and sport anime in general to really get outreach when slam dunk and kuroko no baske exist for this type of sport. but ahiru no sora is able to take a new approach of a very underdog team in there rise to power.
The rise to power is integral and this show is filled with alot of character development. (I will not specifically go into all the characters) but it presents as a highschool sports anime well since it shows the development of children who are not the greatest, who are not magically gifted. But a group of children who have worked hard and used there talent as best they can to be basketball players.
It might be a little slow is a issue with this. personally I dont mind but for people coming from haikyuu or blue lock…

Let Me get this out of the way.
If you like Elfen Lied(The Saddest Anime ever made) you will like this show.The show really is good... Until it isn't. You watch all of Sora's pain and frustration and watch him build up his skills and abilities and what do you get in return? The show slaps you across the face.
I know reality is harsh but come on. Every time you think the show is going to payoff all the buildup it spits in your face. Especially the season finale. The animation is fine, but considering I have low standards as long as the story is good my opinion is a little off. Until the season finale I had this show at about a 7.5 I was quite happy watching it. Until the final episode of the season, the show takes all your hopes out back and puts them down like Old Yeller with a rifle bulle…

Nothing really stands out about Ahiru no Sora. At the immediate surface level, the animation never really goes beyond perfunctory in the basketball games, with many scenes being obvious manga panel stills embellished with some sliding motions in the foreground. As is rather infamous, the animation team tries to ape Kuroko's Basketball in conveying how fast the characters are moving, but without the polish of Kuroko's production it just looks comical. Game flow massively suffers as a result, so it's hard to get invested in games when it's often unclear what plays are happening.
Storywise though, I have to give the show props for not being a cookie cutter underdog narrative. We start with the basketball team as a complete sham and front for a delinquents' hangout brought about by the school…

This is a really good sports anime, in the popular sports animes out there like Kuroko and Haikyuu, the protagonist's team usually keeps on winning and winning, but with Ahiru no Sora, the protagonist's team and the protagonist himself keep on taking Ls after Ls, not just in basketball but in their lives as well. Usually we don't see protagonists in sports animes lose so often but in Ahiru no Sora we see it happen quite often giving us some nice character development. It is truly a really beautiful anime and the only complaint I have against it would be the animation, while the characters are drawn out almost identical to the manga, the animation and execution of the plays isn't done that well, reasons being are quite obvious since the anime was airing out episodes each week barely even ta…

[SPOILERS CONTAINED FOR MULTIPLE SPORTS ANIME]
Mentioned below with severity of spoiler:
Ahiru no Sora (major, but mostly summarized),
Diamond no Ace (intermediate),
Haikyuu (minor),
Hosiai no Sora (very minor) The two words I would use to describe this anime is “peak edging”. Watching all 50 of these episodes has made me realize what it’s like to be on an opposing team in a sports anime like Haikyuu. You have players who are amazing and strive to get better and continue to fail and fail until the end. It’s as if this was the unneeded prequel to an actual sports anime.
Story: 5/10
First of all, excruciatingly slow. The story is relatively simple which allows it to be easily followed. However, there were certain occurrences throughout that just threw me off. Perhaps they have meaning e…

I started watching this anime after having an urge to watch sports animes.
I started watching Kuroko no Basket, and after seeing about 12 episodes, i stopped, not because it was bad, but i just kinda wanted to see other "competition".
I found this anime on crunchyroll, didn't look at the rating or anything, just went for it, and i am glad i did.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Before i jump into the story, i just want to say, after watching Kuroko no Basket for a little while, this anime is a complete opposite. While Kuroko no Basket has overpowered characters with superhuman abilities, this anime is much more realistic and down to earth, more about the team building, basketball overall, tactics, rough starts, etc. For people that enjoy anime for being this ridiculous amazing unnatural abilities, t…

The show starts out really well. All the characters are introduced one after the other and all of them are great. The starting few matches are really great as well. Most of Kuzuryu's players are inexperienced and hence they lose a lot of their starting few matches which makes sense. The players from the other teams like Konishi, Chiba san, Tokiwa and Nanao's cousin are all really lovable characters. After playing a few practice matches and gathering a full team, they finally get to an official match. I really liked the fact that they gave some history to the opposition they faced in the official match. But this is where the anime starts its downward spiral. Kuzuryu plays really well creating a substantial point difference between themselves and the opponents. At this point the Kuzuryu play…

I'm 90% sure the reason for this anime's pretty average rating is because a large portion of people didn't finish all 50 episodes. I beg you to take your time, because the pay off is huge. Enormous and glorious. This show really picks up after episode 33 (I say this without irony, please please please stick with it).
This show has some themes I try to avoid while picking an anime: delinquents, fights, bullying. Also there are cliches, such as over the top presentation of physical strength and masculinity and a sport that endorses them. But I didn't regret sticking with it.
It starts slow and you don't know where it will go. Eventually, it coherently tackles all the things one by one, without excessive drama or moralizing. And it surprises you with how detailed and aware the script is abo…

- - - - - - - - NOT KUROKO but some SLAM DUNK moments
I admit it, I came here after Kuroko no basket (wich I liked), and to be clear, beyond the love for the game these two stories are pretty different , and I love that.
I started to watch it without expectations and it got me hooked.
This series is about Sora and his permanent fight with his lack of height in the game he loves, basket. You can fee how much he loves the game, how much he tries, how good he is at it, and the relationship with his beloved mother through basketball.
His effort to create a basket team with some classmates, that turn out to be the school "thugs". is hilarious. Besides I dont know but I just feel that Sora permanent challenge all that emotions of "Im going to show you"... "I know that I am good, and I will d…

A good spokon, if it has a second season it will break your heart. The first season is to prepare what is coming so I hope another season, I correct it is an epic long anime, epic but very very epic. I will tell later as the review follows. Well, the season just ended, it was nice to see this anime every Wednesday, there are 50 chapters, so it's 50 weeks. I really enjoyed it a lot, bitch, I hope the anime continues because while I was waiting for haikyu. I loved this anime I liked how they use sports as an escape, to feel part of something I loved that. Here they say that it will have 4 seasons, hopefully it is true, I really recommend it. The drama it has is very good, the contrast between sports and the protagonist's personal life is very good.

This show is a very love-hate relationship for me.
Don't jump into this expecting sports only. It is much more than that and that is probably why I'm having this love-hate relationship with this show.
I love the realism in this show, particularly in the sports aspect. My problem(and not because the show is bad) is the drama. When things felt too real, it felt painful to watch. I really wanted for Sora to end up with Madoka in the beginning but my view on their relationship is messed up right now. I sincerely hope the best for the characters and the anime has done decently enough to make me interested in reading the manga. I don't see a possibility of the next season of this any time soon with how the story is on hiatus. Do I regret watching this? A bit.
This is completely false but I f…

This anime has all the elements of a standard sports anime - the talented hero with the handicap, passion for the game, the extremely difficult path and some geniuses. But still, and maybe because of, following the general formula too closely, it managed to remain very mediocre.
I'm really struggling to write something unique about it or something I liked, but nothing just hits, which should tell you a lot about it in itself. I will say though, that the technical part of basketball is quite well explored, which I appreciated.
Also, I don't really understand the point of Madoka? She never really did anything throughout the series, and nothing would have changed if she wasn't there.
The anime has the team losing every single time, which I'll admit is realistic. But since the anime itself…

Formal and Dramatic
(Warning: this review contains important spoilers, be warned.)
I really liked how Ahiru no Sora manages to act as a collective test of endurance between characters and viewers. The protagonists do not win any game during all 50 episodes. The weight of the practically certain defeats, of the changes that the characters suffer, of the early elimination at the beginning of the championship, all the disappointment experienced by the characters who fail to achieve small conquests is always reflected to the public through a dramatic formality in small details.
The anime during matches gives a very significant importance to some more dramatic devices than the occasional one. There are several things happening at the same time in small details. The anime frames the scoreboar…

Short version:
Very enjoyable, good story and character development. You should watch it.
First, I had no basketball knowledge, but as someone who plays sports, I really enjoyed the anime. The 50 episodes helped in developing the characters and story plot. The games may seem long to some people, but you can really get into it and root for the characters. The introduction of characters was well done and gave their background; this allows you to relate. That aspect was one of my favorite things about this anime since some sports anime's don't provide that background info. Overall you should watch.
Pet peeves (not important):
I watched in dub, and the MC voice made my ears bleed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the start of this anime and how it was developing, story was on point, art is amazing, great character development. However, when they got into their first official match against Shinjo Towa Academy it really took a dive for me.
From a watcher's perspective, Sora was a lot better previously compared to this game, it felt like while everyone else got better, the training that they went through made him worse somehow. I don't mind the fact that they lost either but like he didn't use any techniques he'd previously used in other matches.
Don't get me wrong it's still a great anime but this is the only reason I wasn't able to give it a higher grade.
