Kuroko's Basketball 2

Kuroko's Basketball 2

Introduction

With the Interhigh Championship finally over, Seirin's basketball team refocuses their efforts, training harder than ever to get the chance to participate in the Winter Cup. Both Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami see old friends walk back into their lives, providing a challenge both on and off the court. As new skills are developed and new alliances created, enemies from various teams—giants of high school basketball such as Yousen, Shuutoku, and Touou—stand in the way of Seirin's steadfast attempts to get to the top. All of these schools prove to be formidable foes whose abilities progress exponentially, while Kuroko struggles to find a balance between his resolve to play as part of a team and his desire to win. With old wounds reopening, new challenges to face on the court, and a new set of foes—the "Uncrowned Kings"—vowing to defeat the new hopefuls, will Seirin ever be able to achieve their dream of beating the Generation of Miracles?

I've never hated the team of protagonist as much as i hate Seirin, simply because the amount of plot armors that Seirin have are just too much to the point that it's becoming more and more annoying in season 2. What a way to ruin the excitement. I always on the protagonist's side in every sports anime, but this one is really annoying. The show is saved by the art and some characters. It is sucks as always but Akashi is justice. I would have given it 5/10 if it's not for him and other Generation of Miracles. Either way, i could have enjoyed it more if it's not because of it's massive plot armor

Kuroko No Basket season 2 is the best out of all the seasons. It has Kagami vs Aomine the most exciting match ever, and it featured both teams at full power. Shows a little bit more character development to Murakibara, the Aomine hype is still there but not as much anymore. It has excitement, character development, and intense AF matches. It has the most exciting breathtaking matches out of the three seasons, and I felt like the characters improved the most in this season. Certain characters like Himuro have been introduced and he fits in the story really well, plus Aomine vs Kagami in the zone is the most exciting last minutes in this entire anime ever. Hell not even my inner Akashi fanboy can stop this season from being the best out of the three. PROS: -Aomine vs Kagami epic AF -The mos…

This season went by faster than the first I must say. Story 8/10 The story continues with a different type of tune where you learn more about the characters pasts. Kiyoshi is introduced formally and we got to see how Seirin came to be. You get insight into Kagami's past too along with others. This meant the games were longer, the moments in between were also but they had a lot of story. In my opinion even though this wasn't as hyped as season 1 in terms of play, this allowed us to see beyond the basketball into the psyche of our characters. Soundtrack 8/10 The OP and ED continued to be great especially the second OP. Art 7/10 I definitely noticed a decrease in quality. And I truly believed they could have done more to make animation a lot more satisfying. It is a shounen at the end o…

This season.........THIS FREAKING SEASON. Wow I enjoyed the first season but this season was just amazing. Let's start with what we already know, Kuroko no basket is a sport shounen anime that has to do with basketball. This season left off right where season 1 left off with Kuroko and the rest of the Seirin basketball team entering the winter cup. That one statement alone is the foundation for much of this season's plot. In the transition between seasons the characters have grown and improved a lot for this big tournament after a blow out loss. So what did I think? Well I have to say Kuroko no basket is one of the most exciting and addicting anime I have ever seen. Every episode you just want to see more and more. The voice acting was very solid though some of the English they attempted w…

I enjoyed watching KNB season 1, but season 2 was a great disappointment. Story: 5/10 This is the continuation of KNB season 1. In season 1 they showed us Kuroko's unique way of playing basket ball. It was so interesting and amazing. The thing about GoM is also very interesting and really cool. But in season 2, they made it look as if Kagami is the main protagonist and not Kuroko. It became more about Kagami and how great he is, that he could even surpass the GoM even without Kuroko. Kagami always level up in almost every match. Instead of focusing on Kuroko's unique way of playing Basketball, they focused on Kagami and made Kuroko unneeded. It became Kagami no basket instead of Kuroko's Art: 8/10 The art is good especially during their matches. Although sometimes I feel like their nose…

If you haven't watch the series yet, see my first season review instead. I also won't repeat on what I said on the first season review. http://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=192244 The second season of Kuroko no Basket is a huge improvement since the first seasons. There are more surprises and thrills on the second season than the first one. The second season shows Seirin getting back up after that loss on the previous season. How they really developed the Team Seirin so far is great. We can really see their struggles on how are they going to get back up. The animation also has it's plus because there are more great animated moments on this season than the first one like "The Zone" and I thought it was a great job from Production I.G. Overall, still great and it still maintains it's thr…

Kuroko no Basket Review By: John Fragglepuss Evans Kuroko no Basket combines basketball with anime in such a good way. The basics of basketball are there, but they are combined with the action and drama that anime utilizes so well. The dunks are intense, the passes are intense and they use beams of light to show just how amazing the passes truly are. Kuroko and Kagami remind me of the old NBA combo of John Stockton and Karl Malone, one with finesse and the other with raw power. In true sports anime fashion, the matches are all important and all last several episodes while the drama and intensity unfold. The first season was new and hilarious, but it starts to get old when the second season is more of the same. You might enjoy this if: You are a sports anime veteran or even if you are a…

Kuroko no Basuke 2nd season, I'll be writing this review with the idea that you've seen the 1st season. Knb 2 is much better than the 1st season, mostly due to the fact that it has much more competitive matches and more of the Generation of Miracles are shown with respect to the first season. Other than that, another generation of legendary basketball players, known as the Uncrowned Kings, is introduces in this season thereby raising the stakes and level of game in the matches. Story 9/10: Seiren High enters the winter cup where they face the Generation of Miracle for a much bigger title. The Uncrowned Kings also make an appearance as opponents similar to the GoM and seiren also has to face them in order to proceed in the championship. Old friends are introduces and secrets of some side…

Kuroko no Basket Season 2 continued right where Season 1 left off, and in fact, the entire story got even better. The basketball matches became even more exciting with the addition of "the zone" and there was more basketball action instead of character development/chatting. But there were even more characters to enjoy watching. Kuroko no Basket Season 2 was all in all so much fun! (SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FIRST SEASON) Story: After the Seirin's crushing loss to Tōō in the interhigh tournament, the players are training harder than ever to compete in the Winter Cup Tournament. With Kiyoshi retiring after the winter cup due to injury reasons, and Kuroko and Kagami's final chance to prove themselves over the Generation of Miracle players/teams, the stakes are higher than ever before…

Kuroko no Basket is actually one of the most exciting sports anime I've watched so far, indeed, some people may say it like "damn those characters can play fcking godly!" for most kiseki no sedai players, but that's what makes the show more interesting right? There's a little spoiler, so read at your own risk. Story: 7/10 The story of the season two is actually a continuation from the last episode of season 1, which is the winter cup tournament, I know that some of the games actually takes us to watch for 2-3 episodes long, some of them are fun to watch and some of them are not. I actually really like for how all the game for each tournament goes on the story but my only main problem is that it is kinda funny to see that Seirin always wins by one point ahead their opponent, I know, ther…

This is one of, if not, the best shounen sports anime I’ve ever seen. Sports anime that are based around American sports, can often fall into the category of being comically poor representations of the sport they’re portraying. KuroBasu has already established itself as being a show that, while dramatized, still offers an informed view of how basketball actually works. The 2nd season of the show continues to build on a strong foundation of the first season, adds compelling dimensions to the characters, and an ever increasing intensity in the games. Kuroko no Basuke is bound to be compared to the classic series “Slam Dunk,” but, for my money, this show has been a big step up from that series. The action is great. The plot is simple enough to not get in the way of the action by making thing…

******this is a spoiler free****** First thing first. I love this anime but i hate it as well . I did not read the manga of this series . Season 1 and 2 are more or less the same Story:4/10 Cliche plots in my opinion. Because Seirin is gonna win the winter cup and beat akashi ... since this title of these whole series is call " kuroko no basket" and not "akashi no basket" . This means that the main character this kuroko and not the GOMs simply means that kuroko is gonna win with the flow of the cliche plots. But it makes you wanna watch for some reasons. Art:6/10 Basically fine nothing wrong except for 1 which i really wanna slap the shit of it. which is the shadow where the characters have especially under their neck . Since season i've noticed it in fact from the very start . I was w…

Sports have always been a popular topic for debate. Every game is different that shows new elements and surprises. Some of these include plays that will be memorable for years while other includes players that makes in impact in the business. In order to make an impact in basketball, one must have the passion and desire to not only win but play for everyone including themselves. The fundamental concept is that sports should also be played not just for competition but also to develop one’s own character. In Kuroko no Basket 2, we witness characters in a different light as they step up to the field and deliver basketball plays like never before. It’s more than just about winning a game but to earn the respect of everyone they hope for. Taking off from season 1, Kuroko no Basket: Second Seas…

Kuroko no Basket season 2 will not disappoint you in any way. It is as good as season 1 and in some aspects one may claim that it is better. The story picks up exactly where the previous season left us off. It does not have any weird gaps or any tiresome flashbacks. In essence you dive right into the story the moment you press play and that is something very good. It continues with the same pace as the first season and though it may seem to pick up speed at certain points let me assure you that it does not. It allows the viewer to feel the tension, joy, sorrow, anxiety, anger etc of the characters in order to cheer and/or hate them. More importantly it does not have any plotholes. Of course there are some things left unanswered during season 2 but that is only natural since it seems the s…

"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 Sequel to season one, Kuroko No Basket 2 does not disappoint. The new season begins with a mild time-skip after the inter-high matches. Seiren High—no longer the underdog—is now of equal footing in terms of basketball recognition. 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. If anything, the anime has adapted an even faster pace and incorporates an unexpectedly drastic increase in the amount of action per episode. Games are now longer, more intense, and developed. The level of play has increased to a higher caliber. There are no…

I never thought I would like Kuroko no Basket. I am a lazy teenage girl, sport just isn't my thing, and yet here I am completely hooked on this anime that revolves around sport - I've found myself rewatching matches over and over and I went as far as to read the whole manga in a day because I couldn't wait for the next episodes to come out. Everything about this series adds up. Story (10/10) For an anime as simple as a basketball team trying to win their way through the ranks, Kuroko no Basket incorporates amazing back stories on each of the characters, with lots of flashbacks shown throughout the series - but it's not the annoying type of flashbacks that would come in the middle of a battle, these flashbacks are very well placed in the middle of each basketball match, simultaneously givi…

The long awaited second season of Kuroko no Basuke- if you found the first season enjoyable, then I assure you... the second will not disappoint. As expected, the second season acted as a continuation from the first, cutting straight to the Winter Cup and previewing of most of the main participating teams. If I were to describe the plot in one sentence, it would simply be 'Seirin High fights to win the Winter Cup.' And that's all the second season needed to be as incredibly epic it was. Was this story unique? In a way, it was. In a way, it wasn't. Kuroko no Basuke is categorized as a shounen anime; therefore, do not watch this series (this goes for the first season as well, obviously) not expecting certain shounen elements. Don't watch this series if you utterly DESPISE shounen, becaus…

please dont judge my english , thank you - to the story :6/10 - nothing spectacular but solid , its "shounen" and comes along with the typical stereotype things with the "power ups" and other things that makes it hard to take some things serious or even enjoyable , i guess to much "shounen" for me . the staging is fine and the progress of characters is also nothing spectaculat and fits to the stereotype things of shounen , YES i dont forgot that its a sport shounen series but the shounen part is more overwhelming .... which wasnt that big in the 1st season to the art :8/10 - the animation are great and enjoyable , to much shounen and based for the targeted audience for me but you can overlook it to the sound: 7/10 - its good and fits to the most parts well enough , but like the most s…

Kuroko no Basket Season 2 The first season of Kuroko no Basket was good, but this season definitely stepped its game up. The main focus of this season is the games, and I'm pretty sure a game is going on in every single episode. This isn't a bad thing though, because the games are insanely intense. Story: 7/10 The story for this show is a typical one, wanting to become the best basketball players/team but it still has a very good execution. Kuroko no Basket 2 takes its time on each game so the story isn't rushed at all. I'm pretty sure only two games happened this season. But that might be a little too slow for a sports show. Obviously it's better for a show to be kept at a nice pace than rushed, but there definitely could have been a third game in this season. Still, the story itself is…
