I don't know. It does start with a worned out trope, but I loved Kuroko no Basket so I'll probably watch this too.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. This looks like nothing new to the genre, but the manga is very popular and I'm sure the anime version will live up to the hype. At least I hope so?

Synopsis

Sora Kurumatani is a short boy that will never be good at basketball.

When he was in middle school, he was never allowed to be a member of the starting team due to his height. He decides to enter into Kuzuryuu High School (Nickname: Kuzu high) where he has hopes of joining the basketball team. However, the team is more or less on the verge of being abolished and he’s not really able to play basketball there at all.

Still, Sora is very passionate about basketball and while bumping heads with his fellow members, they all grow together. Constantly facing crisis after crisis, just how will these basketball team members rise this time...?

Three Episode Impression

Even though this isn’t the first anime to showcase basketball, and even if the original premise is quite similar to other sports anime, Ahiru no Sora definitely caught our eyes. Yes, this is your typical story about a school club that’s pretty much dead until this unbelievably talented guy shows up, shaking things up and making everyone understand that natural talent is more important than genetics. However, Sora is the only one who takes basketball seriously enough, since the other members of the team are just bullies and more focused on brawling than anything. With an upcoming face-off against another high school team, a shocking revelation about Momoharu’s past, and a potential love story involving the women’s team star, what’s not to love about Ahiru no Sora? We're so looking forward to the rest of the series!
