Kuroko No Basket is also between Haikyuu and Free! in the whole 'are they gay or not????' spectrum, if that kind of thing bothers you. It's the sport anime that got me to watch sport anime though!

No it's the basketball show about the midget who is really good at misdirection and the huge japanese guy raised in america guy who has mad jumps because he learned how to jump from the people in america because americans have mad jumps


edit: I also don't want loli basketball show in my search history, sorry.

Really, I never got anything like that out of Kuroko...in fact they all go nuts over the big boobed girl that hangs on Kuroko.

The first season has a lot of it between Kuroko and Taiga. The second season seemed to lighten up on it. All the side characters are straight as hell though.


Also between Kuroko/Taiga and the other prodigies. The most overt being the rant about how whats his face the Street Ball player going 'I was your light, and you my shadow. We were meant to be together. So why would you play with this person, who could NEVER be your light?!'

Is homoerotic subtext really something that puts people off watching these shows? Ookiku Furikabutte is one of my top 5 favorite sports anime, so it would be a shame if people were dissuaded from watching it just because it's super gay.

I know people who don't like it. Specifically two of my friends who refuse to watch sports anime based on the sports they themselves played in highschool. Personally, I think it's amusing and it doesn't bother me.

Also, season 2 and the end of season 1 does a lot for the whole 'only one rival on the enemy team everyone else is a blob with no personality' thing. They start introducing 2-3 rivals for the non-main characters on every team, who get personality and actual focus (and funny scenes outside of matches).

The pacing remains kinda bad. Matches continue to last multiple episodes. The final buzzer beater continues to take five minutes while everyone reacts to the three second travel time.
