I LOVE this anime. Sure it is not perfect, it obviously isn't 100% realistic either but that doesn't make it bad, it doesn't say based off of a true story (sorry this is my little jab to the haters.) Kuroko's Basketball is honestly my favorite anime of all time. It is my number #1. It's not even a romance genre which is my favorite genre and it is still my number one. This anime motivates me, these guys all have such a passion it's hard not to watch and not look for a passion of your own that motivates you to give it your all. I guess that's how this anime connected to me in such a way, I just really loved it and I don't want to say too much or give any spoilers. 11/10 recommend this anime!
