When I started watching this, I didn't know if I could survive 103 episodes, but I did it! Bonus point for me?
Anyway, just my 2 cents.

STORY: the overall story is good and really interesting. We are shown a world where you can never fully trust common people around you (unless your name is Allen Walker), a world full of mysteries, constantly at war (even if normal people are not aware of it).
The more you find out about "Innocence" and the characters' past, the more you realize there's something big missing and you can't help but crave to go deeper and find out more.
About the ending: ... it was not really an end, but probably somewhere in the middle of the story (manga isn't over yet), so the story still goes on (and, right now, the only way to know more is to start reading the manga)

ART: well, some things can really manage to catch your interest

SOUND: while I don't particularly pay much interest to this aspect, I found the choice of some songs to be really fitting for some scenes

CHARACTER: well, you have a lovely bunch of people with different personalities: from you-have-no-idea-what-I-had-to-do-for-my-master Allen to the supervisor with a sister complex, from I'm-always-grumpy Kanda to oh-dear-god-what-did-I-do Miranda, etc...
The series had enough episodes (...) to show character's development (which is something I really appreciated) which helped the story to grow and, at least for me, made me more attached to some of the characters

ENJOYMENT: it was honestly fun. BUT! the fillers... there were... lots of them. While some of them weren't necessarily a bad thing (it actually helps sometime to change the pace and tone of the story), many others were... avoidable?

OVERALL: I'm glad this series has been recommended to me and I invite people who didn't watch it to pick it up. As I said, fillers were probably the worst part of this anime (and there are quite a few of them), but they are somewhat understandable: the manga is still ongoing, even if the anime finished 5 years ago (am I the only one hoping that, as soon as more volumes come out, they'll start producing a new season?).

In the end, if you think you can survive that amount of episodes, some fillers here or there, sad background stories and crazy characters you should definitely give this anime a try.

This anime was in my "planning to watch" list for a while and I finally decided to check it out.

STORY: well, the main plot has been already written, so I won't repeat it. I like sports anime and I've honestly enjoyed this. Of course it is a bit unrealistic: high school basket players doing incredible shots, extreme jumps and faster than light passages? Sure, why not! But in an anime, anything can happen...
The story is exciting, you just wanna watch episode after episode (I watched it all in 2 days): there are moments when the characters are under so much pressure (happens often considering the ... number of games they have to play in such a short time), but there are also hilarious moments (Kuroko's ability to be 'invisible' spurs interesting reactions; the coach and her attempts with cooking, etc...).
This anime shows that (a) it's important to enjoy something with your friends, (b) team work makes you achieve great things, (c) friendships and relationships in general should be based on trust, (d) always do your best and, even if you lose, make a step forward to become a better person (and player).

ART: well, I've seen better, but it's not really bad either.

SOUND: the OP and ED were good, didn't pay much attention to the music during scenes.

CHARACTER: oh boy, where to start? the Generation of Miracles is made of... 'extreme' and 'out of this world' guys; the Seirin Basketball Club is a mix of weird and interesting characters; and then there's Kuroko... The good thing is that, through the story, we see all of them develop and grow up: they improve, relationships change, even the always-almost-invisible Kuroko manages to start showing a different side of himself.

ENJOYMENT: I loved it. This anime got me hooked since episode 1. I've read several comments and other reviews, where the most common criticism was "it's too unrealistic" and "there's too much room for fanservice moments". Honestly, this is an anime, some of the characters are described as "miracles", of course there would be things out of the ordinary. But that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

OVERALL: I honestly recommend it, even to people who are not sports fans. It is funny, there's lot of action, there are sad moments and hilarious situations. Bonus point because there are only a very very few hints about romance (which is good IMO because it's really not important here and it wold have probably turned the anime into something not so enjoyable).

The only down thing about this anime is that the story isn't finished yet (the manga is still ongoing), so there is so much more that is waiting to be shown (which makes me hope for a new season? as soon as more manga chapters come out)

I admit I started watching this because of the amount of pictures and gifs I saw on my dashboard on Tumblr.
I read the story plot and thought "why not?" so I downloaded it and watched it through a weekend.

To be honest, the first episode left me a bit confused and my first thought was "what the hell is wrong with Sanada?!".
Not sure what to expect, I kept watching it and I'm glad I did: this has become one of my favorites.
It's the story of four very different people getting together through fishing, which helps them develop a strong friendship.
Through this, they realize what's really important ... for them and that together they can achieve great things (like catching a big tuna or saving the world).

One of the things I enjoyed the most was the art: the anime is full of bright colors, the drawings of the landscape were impressive.

What this anime lacks a bit is more background story for the lead characters: although we know almost everything about Haru and we are given lots of info about Natsuki's past, not much has really been said about Yuki (just a bit in one episode) and basically nothing about Akira.
I don't really mind these omissions, because the story flows just as well without them, but I'd have loved to know a bit more.

Overall I truly enjoyed this anime: it was funny, sad, absolutely hilarious and really touching.
I highly recommend it
