hanako kun manga volume 1 achievement unlocked meaning
In KNB, I'm not super amazed at how Kagami, Kuroko, or any other character for that matter can use these super moves in their official games, when I didn't see the process of how they arrived at that result. A key factor in sports animes is the process of their transformation. KNB had terrible pacing that those crucial training scenes were as good as nonexistent. Don't get me started on the KNB Last Game movie, that movie had terrible pacing. Like we get moment of them "training", declare war against Jabberwocks, then get straight to the match. Like what? They had 1 hr and 50+ mins to show us their training because Jabberwocks even rivaled NBA players, but no, because their the Generation of Miracles, they'll make the dream work.Overall:
KNB had so much potential in rising to be one of the best sports animes out there. Personally, I really liked it since I got to learn a bit of basketball from it, the character designs was like Horimiya but in the sports realm, the OST was good to especially the 3rd opening and the 5th ending were absolute bangers. The animation was very good especially the Aomine vs Kagami match, Kise vs Aomine, Seirin vs Akashi, and the Last Game was also very good. The character designs for the GoM was also good, but the non-GoM people looked liked average side characters sadly, it would've been nice if the side characters had crazy hair colors too to not make the GoM look like foreigners. I'd rate this anime a solid 8/10.
Not to mention that it didn't really make any sense. It seemed to me that they just wanted to rush and finish the show so they gave us something and didn't bother explaining it: Here you go, here's your ending, goodbye.
This show didn't really touch on any deep and philosophical issues either. "Don't try human transmutation. " Um, okay? I won't? Not like it exists in our world anyway.
Most of the faults in the story were just due to the fact that this was originally going to be a manga adaptation that they had to change into something else. So we end up with a shoddily explained ending as well as a bunch of filler episodes.
Art: 9/10
This anime was surprisingly visually pleasing for something made in 2003 (and probably in production in 2002 or 2001). It's not getting a 10 mostly just out of personal taste: the way Ed's hair is drawn, how Al's eyes are red (which makes him seem almost evil), and the way the alchemy is animated (different colors for no apparent reason. CONSISTENCY).
Sound: 8/10
Most of the OST was rather good, with "Brothers" being a particular favorite.
