#«Kuroko’s Basketball» Vol.2: It goes high!

The first opponent in the Inter High tournament is the Shinkyo High team, who want to compensate for their inferiority with a 2 meter tall exchange student from Senegal. Can the Seirin overcome this 2 meter wall without any problems? But not only the Shinkyo High is an obstacle for Kuroko and Kagami: The Seiho High team is said to have an invincible defense. Will the duo manage to score against them?

Personaly thinking:

The start of the episodes on this volume is seamlessly linked to the events on the first volume. Of course, the focus is always on the two main characters Kuroko and Kagami. The two represent the core of the team. The other participants also get their airtime. Especially with the current tournament situation, the other players are the focus of the action. Not only playfully, but also emotionally, the others are in no way inferior to the two main characters. As a result, the team is clearly in tune. The team spirit is put to the test by the special challenges that the team has to overcome. Exciting moments in and next to the field paired with the story about the team and their fans make the series really unique. I never thought that the show would cast a spell over me.

Animations & Drawing Style (9/10)

German dubbing (9/10)

This volume also builds on the good quality of the first volume. In the first review I already mentioned that I was particularly impressed by the two voices of Kuroko and Taiga. But not only the two voices, but also the side cast harmonize very well vocally. A good implementation of the synchronization is very important, especially in the game atmosphere, because otherwise it does not give a good picture. Here, too, attention was paid to good recordings and I really like the implementation.

Packaging & Extras (10/10)

I also have to give full marks to the second volume. Even if we don’t get basketball on this second volume, the extras are impressive. Like Volume 1, this is also published in a steel book with trading cards from Panini. This time there is a small acrylic figure from Kise, which you can put on your shelf next to the collection slipcase.
