Kuroko's Basketball
(officialy known as, The Basketball which Kuroko plays)
Manga - Anime

Info
Kuroko's Basketball tells the story of a high school basketball team trying to make it to the national tournament.

The basketball team of Teikō Middle School rose to distinction by demolishing all competition. The regulars of the team became known as the "Generation of Miracles". After graduating from middle school, these five stars went to different high schools with top basketball teams. However, a fact few know is that there was another player in the "Generation of Miracles": a phantom sixth man. This mysterious player is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Kuroko Tetsuya, the sixth member of the "Generation of Miracles", and Kagami Taiga, a naturally talented player who spent most of middle school in the US, are aiming to bring Seirin to the top of Japan, taking on Kuroko's former teammates one by one

Kuroko's Basketball was the third highest selling manga series of 2013, with 8,761,081 copies sold in a year.

Notes
This has got to be the "SUPER SAIYAN BASKETBALL" at its finest.
Its getting popular here in Asia.
If you love SLAM DUNK (manga-anime), you shouldn't miss this one.

Kagami for the block and Kuroko for the steal at the back

Seirin vs Tuouo (Inter High, 55-112)
Was completely demolished by Aomine when he showed up in on the last seconds of 2nd quarter
Helplessness in the face of the formidable ace of Generation of Miracles.

Tuouo vs Kaijo (Inter High, 110-98)

the series is probably going to end after this match, that being said, although I love the series, it just ain't Slam Dunk.

i dont think so... because....
i cant see them beating akashi for now...
kagami and aomine has a match to settle...
midorima and kise haven't had their revenge... (although it ended in a draw and a failed comeback)
the aomine we saw was the weakest one... he didn't practice ever since that dreaded day...
murasakibara is just starting to love basketball...

But, that would mean Teppei never gets the chance to fulfill his dream of being number 1!

and he never will...
they were down by 16 points (2 mins+, 3rd quarter) at the latest issue...
we haven't seen akashi's second ability not to mention we didn't see him yet in the zone... so as teppei though...
it just too early for them beating akashi...
dont tell me only aomine can beat kagami-kuroko at first try?

Had my eye on this anime for a time, decided to give it a shot seeing this thread, and it's very very good. Awesome characters, I love how the support characters are consistently involved and not ignored, and awesome action obviously. The humor though, it hits you like a sucker punch every time, it really shows you how genius all of the writing is in general. This series and thread deserve more attention.

Absolute gem of a manga/anime.

Obviously the best is Aomine-chi.
Hasn't trained for years and still is that good.

Aomine is just a really cool dude, but I really dig Kagami as well, his play seems to carry aspects of several different Miracle Generation players at once, and that showdown between him and Aomine was The Shit. I like Kise a lot too, for similar reasons to Kagami.
