Kuroko’s Basketball
The second season of Kuroko’s Basketball gets ever closer and the throngs of screaming fans can even be heard in the new promotional video below for it. Planned for an October release, the second season brings us back to the game that began back in 2012 with the first season of the sports series and they’re noting that this is the “second quarter” series rather than calling it a second season, which does work well thematically.
The first season was simulcast by Crunchyroll and the whole project in general has been marred in Japan by all manner of death threats and more against various events that have left some wondering if they’d even try a second season, even if the first one was more popular than expected.
Plot concept: Kuroko’s Basketball The Teiko Middle School Basketball Team. The class that produced three perfect seasons in a row, with five once-in-a generation players, called “The miracle generation”. There was another player who all of them respected… A legendary 6th player. An up-and-coming power player, Taiga Kagami, is just back from America. When he comes to Seirin High School, he meets the super-ordinary boy, Tetsuya Kuroko. Kagami is shocked to find that Kuroko isn’t good at basketball, in fact, he’s bad! And he’s so plain that he’s impossible to see. But Kuroko’s plainness lets him pass the ball around without the other team noticing him, and he’s none other than the sixth member of the Miracle Generation. Kuroko makes a pact with Kagami to defeat the other members of the Miracle Generation, who have all played basketball at other schools. A battle of light (Kagami) and shadow (Kuroko) begins!
