Review of Ahiru no Sora

- - - - - - - - NOT KUROKO but some SLAM DUNK moments I admit it, I came here after Kuroko no basket (wich I liked), and to be clear, beyond the love for the game these two stories are pretty different , and I love that. I started to watch it without expectations and it got me hooked. This series is about Sora and his permanent fight with his lack of height in the game he loves, basket. You can fee how much he loves the game, how much he tries, how good he is at it, and the relationship with his belovedmother through basketball.

His effort to create a basket team with some classmates, that turn out to be the school "thugs". is hilarious. Besides I dont know but I just feel that Sora permanent challenge all that emotions of "Im going to show you"... "I know that I am good, and I will do whatever it takes to prove it", I know is cliche but Im not sorry about it, I like that.

I think this series shows more emotions and characters background than Kuroko, (in one episode there is a clear reference to kuroko no basket, I think it was great, some people hated it), and it has a lot of humor, which is why it reminds me of Slam dunk.

It's enjoyable, empathetic, lots of humor, and leaves you wanting more.

- The problem for some of you could be the pacing, it feels slow in some points, and has 50 episodes.

-Its on hold,and I wish they could continue the series, Im waiting for the 2nd season, but you can read the manga as well.

If you are looking for a sport specifically basketball anime I totally recommend this story, give it a try.
