Review of Ahiru no Sora

My first long review Story-6 It’s about a boy (SORA) who wants to form a basketball team where he finds it rather difficult because of the school he picked. Why did he choose this school? Well it was to be closer to his mom who we then learn was hospitalized, that’s basically the sum of it. However I will say later on in the story they really just drag the episode which gets annoying. Art-5 It’s pretty ugly not going to lie but why a 5 you may ask? Simply for the fact that I can tell if it’s a character from this series by how it’s drawnthis different to say the least.

Sound-6
They had maybe two decent good ops ,but what I really liked was the endings they had emotion every time you finished a episode if you get what I mean voice acting was good I’d say not the best but not bad but the swish the ball would make when they scored was amazing.

Characters-9
Cmon now, CMON NOW what can I say the character development in this series was amazing first we have natsume he went from this “thug” always fighting to being way more controlling over himself for his little sister, he has the same goal as SORA does with trying to take his team to the top, and always gets better when he looses, so his sister can be proud of him and see him succeed. Momoharu, dam he really did grow up a lot to say the least he went from always fighting arguing to being a decent team captain, being way more serious at basketball then we was before, getting better at basketball, he basically just grew up. He had a better understanding of life after the whole incident. Chiaki he’s just doing his thing I guess nothing to crazy going on with him. Shigeyoshi nothing to crazy bout him as well he just trying way more and finally found the love for basketball he once has when he was younger. Shinichi separated from his two friends and grew a lot into this person that didn’t know a single thing about basketball to someone somewhat reliable at least way more then he was before. Nabe and Chuckie, wow just wow it really wasn’t much but I liked the side story (kinda) of how those kids wanted to play basketball but the older kids wouldn’t let them so Nabe and Chuckie tried to help (after quitting/leaving the team) ,and after they got wiped buy these middle schoolers or elementary I forgot, they both asked how they lost, to which the kids responded about how they wanted to be the best at what they do and want no one to stop them. This opened their Eyes and found a new respect for the game then they came back the same not better at all but with a new mentality for the game. Satsuki sensei, wow as well what I can I say about him, he struck with the team even tho it looked like the team was going nowhere because he saw hope, and you can really tell he loved this team even missing his unborn child’s birth to watch the deciding game even though they where bound to loose. Madoka was eh just eh may be kind of salty because she chose momoharu, but it doesn’t even end there she was kinda how do I say this... messing around with other guys after momoharu said no and I don’t mean in a you know.... anyways, next person. Nao, just yes, really. She is the coach for the team, and wow (sorry for saying wow so much) she really brought a uncoordinated team to become a serious threat in due time, she’s really smart for her age and what she does it’s just amazing, but how did this amazing coach become their coach? She met sora, sora taught her that height doesn’t define what you can do, all you have to do is try. I also like the little romance that’s kinda happening, but after this last episode I feel like there’s way more to her so I want to see how she develops. Sora, just amazing before we even begin the majority of why all these characters changed( not all but had at least somewhat part in them) was because of him, he was their light to see everything a new way. Now let’s begin this first season we didn’t see much development from him he started off as a already amazing basketball player, that shocked a lot of people because of how short he was. He did change however after he lost in the prelims he tried even harder, but it hit him different because of what happened (to much of a big spoiler) not a lot of character development ,but slight I feel like the next season will focus more on that well at least I hope. Well I kept y’all here long enough I would continue but this is all y’all really need to know.
