“Kuroko no Basuke” Gets Anime Adaption

Fans of this shounen basketball series can rejoice. =D

Weekly Shounen Jump had recently announced in their 3rd of october issues that the manga series is getting an anime adaptation.

The air date has yet to be announced but the anime will be produced by Production I.G (whose previous works include Prince of Tennis) and the story basically follows a high school basketball team trying to make it to the nationals.

Manga Plot Summary:

Kuroko is a member from the legendary middle school basketball team known as “The Generation of Miracles”, and while nobody seems to know about him, the main five players of the team all admit that he is a better player, the phantom sixth player. When he joins the high-school basketball team, everyone is surprised to find out that he is small, weak, and easy to miss. What is the secret that makes him so strong, and how will he help his high-school team? – Baka-Updates Manga

I can’t wait to see how this series turns out and since Production I.G is competent at what they are doing, I am sure we won’t have much to worry about. =)
