Kuroko no Basket NG-shuu

I was pretty bored so I just decided to check out Kuroko no Basket NG-shuu out of curiosity. Basically all this is is a 9 episode series of anime specials that rub from about 1-5 minutes per episode. It showcases bloopers within scenes from season 1 of the anime. There isn't too much to say about this except that the comedy was handled really well. The only gripe I have is the fact that these specials didn't really do any expanding for the characters and there isn't really much of a cohesive plot. But listen it's just a light hearted series of specials that you ... can finish in literally no time. So I say if you liked KnB check it out it's very funny and an overall good experience.

I don't know what an NG-shuu is, sounds like some hip Japanese hair product, but this Kuroko's Basketball special series is a collection of short blooper reels ranging around 1:30-4:00 minutes each. As it sounds, it copies several scenes from the anime exactly until they deviate when something goes comically wrong.

The original Kuroko's Basketball had a decent sense of humor, even if it unfortunately used Japanese wordplay frequently, so it comes as no surprise that these bloopers do have their laugh out loud moments now that the writers are ... expressly focusing on the humor without having to worry about the tone of the story. These skits are far from equal in quality, but given how short each one it is it hardly feels like time wasted. It can be frustrating how long the original scene is set up to get to the point where the joke is, but that's really all there is to say. These jokes don't give any new insight into the characters, and plenty are situational comedies that have nothing to do with the specific characters, basketball, or the original point of the scene.

With all that can be said having been said, this is easily recommended to Kuroko's Basketball fans so if you're on the fence about bothering just go ahead and watch already. You'll get at least a laugh or two.

Bloopers. Remember when every other Anime was capitalizing on this one? Why did they stop doing it? It's like the perfected form of Recap episodes mixed with new content and parody while remaining extremely short and heavy on comedy.
It's so fun to see characters acting out of characters once in a while, bringing together some of the highlights of the show and making a spin on them in man ways.
Of course, not all of the episodes were on par but some were gold. I hope the later seasons also have bloopers because it's something we really need more of. Gotta appreciate the people in charge ... of thinking of this. More content of something you love. It's a win no matter you look at it.
